After Noelle danced with Charles, many people stopped paying attention to her, though that did not include Winter or Janet.
Winter fumed with resentment, unable to understand how Noelle could have such good luck. She felt bitter, thinking how could Noelle always land on her feet?
Winter recalled how Noelle had been fired by Frotconn, as well as how she had narrowly escaped danger multiple times.
In Winter's mind, Noelle should have been ruined by those incidents. However, not only did Noelle avoid those pitfalls, but she was now working at Collosus Group, one of the top companies in Brookville.
In comparison to Collosus, Frotconn was nothing. As much as Winter hated to admit it, this was the truth.
Clenching her purse tightly, Winter's eyes glowed red with anger.
On stage, Lara, a newcomer who specialized in dance, was performing an energetic dance routine that quickly captivated the audience.
Meanwhile, Brielle was chatting with her manager, discussing how to perform their next act. She glanced up and noticed Winter's hateful gaze fixed on someone. Following Winter's line of sight, Brielle saw Noelle and was momentarily stunned.
Brielle recognized Noelle as the woman who had danced with Charles. While she did not remember most others, Noelle had made a strong impression. Noticing Winter's glaring eyes, Brielle smirked inwardly.
It was clear to her now that Winter harbored feelings for Charles and was jealous of a Collosus Group employee.
"Brielle, what's going on with you?" Brielle's manager noticed her smiling. "We were just talking about... What are you looking at?"
"Jill, what's Winter's background? Didn't she say she was married?"
