"We went into the woods for shooting. Hasn't Helena come out yet? She left the woods before we did!"
Jane was delighted, but pretended to be stunned.
"She hasn't come out yet!"
The man in charge looked at the sea and said urgently, "The weather forecast says it's going to rain hard soon. So we have to get out of here right away."
"What about Helena? She's still in the woods. How about I go in and look for her?"
Jane pretended to be anxious, and the person in charge hastened to pull her back.
"Don't go. Let's wait. Maybe Helena will come out soon."
"Well, that's all right."
Jane clasped her arms, looked at the eerie woods not far away, and jeered.
It wasn't easy to get out of that wood all by herself.
Jasmine had given Janet the order to bring Violet into the woods so that she wouldn't be able to apply makeup to the models who made it to the finals in time for tomorrow!
That was to make sure Jane's title of champion intact.
It looked like her mission for today was a success.
"Can't we set sail? The rain is getting heavier. If we don't, we'll all have to stay on the island tonight and not be able to leave."
The captain came down from the ship and said to the person in charge.
The person in charge looked at the time and then at the woods, in a desperate state of impatience.
"What's going on with Helena? Why isn't she out yet?"
"You're still waiting for her? We'll wait another five minutes, and if she hasn't arrived, we'll have to leave her alone."
The captain looked at the time and spoke.
Being apprehensive, the person in charge had waited for another five minutes, but still didn't see Violet come out.
"We can't wait any longer. We have to leave immediately."
The captain opened his mouth again, and then took a big step toward the ship.
"Hey, captain! Can't we wait any longer!?"
Jane snickered in her heart, but looked worried.
"We can't."
The captain returned and got on the ship.
