Chapter 506
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chuckling softly, Lindsey replied, âIsnât that the same question I asked you a moment ago?â
âI.
Itâs my first day at work.
I thought if I arrived early and did more, I could live up to your expectations,â Xiomara explained, feeling a bit self-conscious and uncertain.
âIâve sorted out the companyâs network, but now Iâm unsure what to tackle next, so I opted for some cleaning,â she confessed.
âYouâve accomplished so much work⦠in such a short time?
Lindseyâs eyes widened in surprise.
Completing all those tasks before six in the morning was a feat that would typically take her an entire day.
âBecause.
itâs easy for me,â Xiomara replied, her embarrassment evident as she scratched her head.
Lindsey found herself observing the girl before her with a newfound curiosity.
âLindsey⦠Xiomara hesitated, her fingers fidgeting as she contemplated speaking up but stopped short.
âJust say what you want to say,â Lindsey encouraged gently.
Biting her lower lip, Xiomara finally voiced her thoughts, âCan I attend the performance training sessions when I donât have any tasks?
And⦠And learn alongside them?â
Though Lindseyâs company wasnât vast, it boasted a dedicated training department and a specialized classroom for practical sessions.
Recognizing the significance of honing acting skills for aspiring performers, Lindsey spared no expense in hiring seasoned instructors to train new talents at varying times.
Arching an eyebrow, Lindsey inquired, âAre you interested in acting?â
Xiomara lowered her head, but she still nodded.
âGo ahead.
As long as it doesnât interfere with your own duties, itâs no problem,â Lindsey assured her with a gentle smile.
The girl, taken aback by Lindseyâs encouragement, lifted her head and beamed.
âThank you, Lindsey!â
By eleven in the morning, Xiomara had completed all her tasks and made her way to the training classroom.
Overwhelmed by a sense of inferiority, she hesitated at the door, unable to muster the courage to step inside.
Peering through the glass door, she observed the ongoing session, occasionally attempting different expressions under the teacherâs guidance.
Just as she was getting absorbed in the joy of performing, a cruel laugh pierced the air.
âHahaha, does this pathetic company lack artists? Itâs even employing someone so overweight! The entertainment industry isnât a place for trash.
â
Startled, Xiomara turned to find a scornful woman standing behind her, arms crossed, exuding arrogance.
âShelia, what are you doing here?â Lindseyâs voice cut through the tension as she emerged from her office, instantly recognizing the haughty newcomer.
Hadnât her reputation plummeted to the point where she wouldnât dare show her face here? How dare she step foot in this place? Was she here for revenge?
Shelia turned to face Lindsey, who was watching her cautiously.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Shelia approached her, her heels clicking on the floor.
âDonât worry.
Iâm here to see your company and share some exciting news.
â
Lindsey eyed her skeptically.
âAre you sure? You know, whatâs good news for you might be bad news for me.
