Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 230

Big shot? Gilbert, huh?

Not that Sherilyn hadn't thought about it, but even if she did... at this point, she had outlived her usefulness to Gilbert. He was definitely not going to help her again.

Hannah burst into laughter, flipping her hair.

"Forget it! Don't even think about it. Ms. Hansen is a stickler for the rules. She made an exception for you once; do you really think she'll do it every time? Think you're someone special?"

With a twist of her small frame, she strutted away.

"Let's go, ladies! Time for rehearsal!"

Watching Hannah's retreating figure, Sherilyn felt something was off.

How did Ms. Hansen know about her getting a gig with the troupe? Who spilled the beans?

Her head ached terribly. Even if she knew who leaked it, what could she do? It was her mistake.

Feeling down, Sherilyn lay in her apartment all day.

In the evening, Edgar called.

"Sherilyn, I'm outside the dance studio. When will you be out?"

Sherilyn rolled over, her voice weak. "I'm not at the studio."

"What?" Edgar was surprised. "You've already left? Did it end early today?"

He clearly remembered that Sherilyn's first major performance was in a few days. She had been practicing really hard recently.

"Yeah." Sherilyn just wanted to be alone. "If it's nothing important, I'm going to hang up."

After a brief exchange, she hung up.

Edgar, holding his phone, was confused. Something wasn't right. Sherilyn's voice sounded off, like she was upset.

He couldn't just leave it be, so he drove to Serenity Street.
