A trace of panic rose in Natalie's heart.
She thought that perhaps it'd be better to just give up and stop dancing.
It would be better than falling down on stage.
Just as Natalie was about to stop, someone started clapping.
Natalie and Yuna were both taken aback.
Yuna slowed down her pace subconsciously, giving Natalie time to breathe.
They looked at the course of the applause.
Tobias was clapping.
He stood there, standing out from the rest of the crowd.
Although there were many people offstage, Tobias was the most conspicuous person. His handsome appearance and imposing aura turned everyone else into part of the backdrop.
His gaze was focused on Natalie, and his lips were turned up in a smile.
He was looking at her and clapping for her, cheering her on.
Natalie was momentarily dazed.
In that instant, she suddenly felt like everything else had ceased to exist.
Both Yuna and the crowd disappeared.
Only she and Tobias were present.
She was dancing, and Tobias was cheering her on appreciatively.
Natalie's anxious heart instantly calmed down.
She was no longer disturbed by the fast- paced music, and Yuna's quick steps no longer bothered her as well.
She was dancing for Tobias, and Tobias alone.
She was dancing for the man who only had eyes for her, for his applause.
The music grew faster and more intense.
On stage, Natalie's steps became more and more practised and elegant, and her white gown made her shine.
Her jet- black hair had spilled out over her shoulders while she was dancing, making a stark contrast against her fair skin.
The audience was blown away.
Natalie had suddenly transformed. She'd been struggling to keep up earlier.
Yet in this moment, she was filled with confidence, and she was in control of the stage. Her dancing was filled with soul and spirit, and she drew everyone's gaze.
On the contrary, Yuna, who'd had the upper hand all this while, was evidently starting to lose out.
Yuna's eyes were a little panicked.
What happened to Natalie? How did she suddenly transform into a different person?
The more elegantly Natalie danced, the more panicked Yuna became, and she almost stepped on her own feet a few times.
At the same time, two tall men entered the hall.
One was older and the other was young, but they were both handsome with outstanding temperaments.
When they saw the two people dancing on stage, Rudopth Whitlock averted his gaze to search for Cecilia.
Meanwhile, a hint of astonishment and surprise flashed in Remington's eyes.
He recognized the person on stage to be Natalie.
He had never seen Natalie like this.
Her beauty was so striking, and she looked like an angel on stage.
Her steps were so elegant and beautiful, as if she had the entire stage in the palm of her hands.
Something seemed to strike Remington's heart.
The music finally stopped, and there was a thunderous applause.
In the final part, Natalie danced impeccably. She had become one with the stage, like she was born to be there.
Even Peter's frown eventually relaxed.
