"It would be even better if I could become an actor at the Millennium Grand Theater!"
Kaylee began to daydream.
Violeta said, "Go for it. The Millennium Grand Theater recruits new talents from Toland University every year."
"Yeah, then I'll head back now. Goodbye, Vio and Seniors!"
After bidding them farewell, Kaylee hurriedly crossed the street to catch a bus home.
If she wanted to join the Millennium Grand Theater as a stage actor, Violeta could help her.
However, Violeta didn't immediately offer her assistance. Instead, she wanted Kaylee to improve her skills through her own efforts.
Many people aspire to enter the Millennium Grand Theater every year, but only a few are accepted. The competition is fierce.
If Kaylee meets professional standards but lacks connections, then Violeta can certainly lend her a hand.
If Kaylee's skills are not up to par, she won't push her forward.
She should leave this opportunity to someone else.
"Vio, shall I give you a ride home?"
Zoren was about to speak but was interrupted by Jasper's punch. He quickly changed his words, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Let our dear friend, Hayden, take you home!"
Violeta was speechless.
"Hayden, I'm leaving Vio in your hands! Make sure to safely take her home."
The three of them quickly drove away, leaving only Violeta with Hayden.
Violeta was slightly startled. She sighed and turned to look at Hayden.
She asked, "Where's your car?"
As they were speaking, the driver arrived and opened the car door. Violeta was just about to get in.
Hayden's clear voice came from behind.
"Sit in the back."
"Oh, okay … "
Violeta turned on her tiptoes and sat in the back, next to Hayden.
After dropping off Violeta in front of her house, Hayden rolled down the car window. His dark eyes fixed on her, and he said, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Violeta waved at him and then turned to enter the house.
Hayden watched her go inside before instructing the driver to leave.
…
The next day, they arrived at school.
The instructor announced the preparations for the school's Moon Festival and encouraged everyone to sign up for the performances.
Violeta sat in the back row, resting her chin on one hand and twirling a pen with the other.
Many students in the front row began to discuss it excitedly.
"I watched the previous Moon Festival dance performance by the dance club on the forum. It was amazing! Their street dance was so good, very captivating."
"Every performance by the dance club is excellent. They have been the champions for many years in a row."
"Yes! Lena is in the dance club. Lena, can you give us a hint about what performance the dance club is preparing for this year?"
"Yeah, tell us … "
Zelena instantly became the center of attention in the class. She shyly covered her face and said, "Please don't ask me anymore. The club hasn't decided on the performance yet, but it will most likely be a dance performance. We won't disappoint everyone."
Kaylee in the back row rolled her eyes and commented, "Such an arrogant person."
"If it weren't for our club slacking off every year, they wouldn't have a chance."
After the argument with the members of the dance club on the bus last time, Kaylee's fondness for the group plummeted to negative levels.
