He seemed to work here.
He was tall, and although he was wearing a_mask, she could tell he was very handsome.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with his appearance, but for all she knew he could be a psychopath.
So Ariana kept a watchful eye on the man.
He didnât look away until the song was just about to end.
He turned and when he saw Ariana was looking at him, he lowered his head and hurried away.
Ariana had a strange feeling about him, but since he had left she didnât worry too much.
She made a mental note to get a bodyguard for Sarah.
Sarahâs performance was over, and after a moment of silence, the staff erupted into applause.
Ariana joined in, cheering that Sarah was the best.
Then, she turned and gave Jasper a defiant look.
His face darkened and he turned to Elva.
âThis is all your fault! You helped them!â he snapped.
âIf you had insisted on making Sarah change her song like I told you, this wouldnât have happened!â
Elva didnât dare to argue with him.
Just then, Betsy came in, crying.
âAriana, someone must have tampered with your laptop.
I canât even turn it on.
â
Without thinking, Ariana knew who was responsible.
âItâs all right now.
Did you hear all that applause? It was for Sarah,â she said, putting her arm around Betsy.
Betsy looked stunned, and tears were still rolling down her face.
When Sarah stepped off the stage, Ariana helped her into her coat and gave her a big hug.
âI told you that you could do it.
Iâm really proud of you.
Iâm your biggest fan.
â
âThank you, Ariana.
Thanks for believing in me,â Sarah said, tears welling in her eyes.
âLetâs get back to the lounge, and Iâll tell you what happened.
â
âOkay.
â
The two left together.
As she passed Elva, Sarah gave her a triumphant smile, which really pissed Elva off.
After Sarahâs performance, the following artists who went up after her werenât as outstanding or refreshing.
But fortunately, some of the other guests were actresses before they were singers, so it was understandable that they werenât as talented at singing.

Ariana sat in the lounge, chatting with Sarah and Betsy as they watched the other artistsâ performances via the monitor.
The show went on.
Finally, Elva made her entrance on stage for her performance as the last contestant.
Ariana perked up and began to watch more seriously.
To be honest, Elvaâs singing was not too bad.
One could tell by the way she kept her tone consistent and her mannerisms controlled that she had practiced this song.
It was a song she had to perform many times because it was the song that made her famous .
