Gazing up into his eyes with a tentative smile, she ventured a question, “Marcelo, do you… perhaps, have feelings

…?”

Their moment was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door.

“Have what?” The knocking had obscured the end of her question, leaving Marcelo confused.

“It’s nothing,” Renee dismissed, shaking her head slightly

From outside, Luke called to Marcelo, “Mr. King, it’s time to leave.”

Marcelo tenderly cradled her face, stealing another kiss before announcing, “I must go now.”

He then opened the door and stepped out into the darkness.

Shortly after, the sound of a circuit breaker echoed, followed by the room being flooded with light.

The entire encounter felt like a fleeting dream to Renee.

She ran her fingers through her hair, vexed.

Did she really want to know his answer to that question?

Yes she did.

She knew she was in love with him now and she wanted to know if he felt that same.

But what if he doesn’t?

Would she be able to bear a rejection from him?

Or was it better not knowing how he felt at all?

Leaning back against the wall, Renee let out a heavy sigh. She was torn between feeling relieved that Luke’s interruption was timely and frustrated that he had disturbed them at such a crucial moment.

She was left wondering how Marcelo would have responded Would he have nodded in affirmation or simply laughed off her query?

“Miss Hudson, are you alright?” a staff member inquired upon entering the dressing room. “The power on this floor had tripped suddenly, but we’ve just managed to fix it.”

“I’m fine,” Renee responded, still pondering the coincidence.

The timing was too perfect. The power had failed just as Marcelo arrived. Surely, he must have tampered with the building’s electricity to evade the surveillance cameras.

In the days that followed, Renee threw herself into her work with renewed focus.

On Friday, Sarah paid a visit to the set to catch up with Renee and brought along some intriguing news.

“I’ve got some information about that silver necklace you were inquiring about, “Sarah began. “It turns out the necklace was specially made for a young girl over 20 years ago by her parents. It symbolizes safety, happiness, and longevity. Unfortunately, not long after its creation, the family left the country, and there’s been no trace of them

since.”

“They left the country, so it’s unlikely we’ll hear anything more about them,” Renee concluded, feeling a wave of disappointment.

Sarah wrapped an arm around her, offering comfort. “At least now you know your parents had great hopes and love for you.”

Renee let out a small, resigned smile. “I’ve been searching for years, clinging to this token, yet all leads have vanished. Perhaps it’s my fate to be without a family. Let’s just forget about it. I won’t search for them anymore.”

When Catherine returned from her shooting, Sarah spotted her and turned to Renee.“Why does Catherine seem to pop up wherever you are? She’s like a bad penny.”

Hearing this, Renee couldn’t help but laugh.

Glancing at her watch, Renee stood up, removed her coat, and placed it aside. “Hang around for a bit,Sarah. I need to change into my dance outfit.”

Sarah looked puzzled. “Aren’t you the stylist? Why do you need dance attire?”

Renee explained, “The original dancer sprained her ankle. The stage and props are already set up,and this is the final scene I need to style myself. If I don’t finish the shoot, I’ll be stuck here for longer.”

Basically, Renee was keen to wrap up her work day early.

Shortly after, Catherine, having changed, approached Sarah. “Sarah, tell me what you desire and how I can make the owner of the Venus Bar apologize to me and Andrew. Do you want a house, a car, or a check?”

Sarah’s annoyance flared up at the sight of Catherine. “If you bother me again, I’ll make sure everyone knows that you and Andrew are trying to bribe the Venus Bar’s owner.

That would be far more embarrassing.

“Hey!” Catherine stamped her foot, infuriated. “You and Renee are two of a kind.Pretending to be wealthy when your family’s bankrupt. And Renee, making herself a dancer’s understudy as if she could perform classical dance just because she’s good at ballet. Ridiculous!”

Two hours later, Renee emerged, transformed into her dance attire and fully styled.

As the music started to play, its notes ringing through the air, Renee gracefully ascended the stage, her long sleeves trailing behind her.

As she moved in her red dance dress, the fabric flowed around her like blooming petals, enhancing the rhythm of her dance. Her expressions shifted seamlessly between frowns and smiles, embodying both grace and delicacy.

Her classical dance performance was a blend of strength and softness, executed to perfection.

It was nothing short of a visual spectacle.

When the music finally faded, leaving only its echo behind, it was Sarah who initiated the applause, snapping the audience out of their trance.

Loud claps filled the room, turning into a thunderous ovation.

“Amazing! She’s just stunning.”

“Renee’s dance skills are incredible, and her natural beauty just adds to her charm.”

“I remember seeing Renee without makeup for the first time and thinking how beautiful she was. She looks even more stunning in her costume.”

“It’s such a shame Renee isn’t in showbiz.”

“Quiet! Nora might hear you.”

Nora, wearing an outfit identical to Renee, always considered herself among the most beautiful in the industry. Yet, in that moment, she felt an urge to hide from Renee’s radiance.

Catherine’s expression grew sour.

She was taken aback by Renee’s ability to perform classical dance; she had thought Renee only knew ballet. This reminded her of the Fashion Ceremony, where everyone was surprised by Renee’s banjo skills, even though she was known for being skilled at playing the violin.

A wave of insecurity washed over Catherine. She dreaded the thought of being overshadowed by Renee indefinitely.

The shooting process proved to be challenging. Renee had to dance three times to fulfill the multi–camera shooting requirements. Following that, Nora took on the task of performing the facial close–ups, and Renee had to instruct Nora on a few additional filler moves.

“Miss Hudson, given your wonderful talent, why don’t you join the entertainment industry?” Nora asked casually while she and Renee were taking a break.

Renee responded while taking a pause from her drink, “Everyone has their own aspirations. Personally, I’m not drawn to the entertainment world. Despite being your dance stand–in, I won’t take the spotlight.”
