“When is she coming back? I’ve heard that Mrs. Nolan doesn’t show herself in public, so I never got the chance to meet her. I have to make her like me!” Hera beamed as if she’d found herself one last hope.
“I’ll keep my ears open.” Jenny smiled. “I can get the information easily since I’m a flight attendant. I’ll let you know once I find out.”
“You really are my best friend! I’m going to owe you so much if you help me this time!”
Hera’s life had been chaotic for the past few weeks. She even had to wear a face mask when she was out in public. Yet, she’d never expected that her high school friend would help her when she was in trouble.
“Don’t worry about it. We’re best friends after all.” Jenny’s mouth was still smiling, but her eyes weren’t.

It was still early at the State Concert Hall.
When everyone arrived, they were shocked to see everything, from the stage to the lightings, being changed to brand-new ones.
Everything looked majestic, especially the screen and the lights.
“Wow! What happened here?”
“This is amazing!”
“Isn’t this lighting a hundred times better than the last one?”
“Did Ms. Berry change these?”
When Ashlyn stepped in, she was shocked by what she saw as well.
“It definitely wasn’t me.” Ashlyn shook her head. What’s happening here?
Just as Ashlyn was puzzled by the new settings, she received a message from Lucas. ‘How’s the new stage?’
Ashlyn was speechless and had no idea how to reply to him.
Upon inspection, Ashlyn realized that the stage had been redesigned, including the lifting platform and all the other minor details. Yet, even when everything was brand-new and redesigned, there was still a sense of familiarity.
