Both moved up in thepetition.


    Meanwhile, three contestants from Gallop Entertainment were eliminated, a real blow to thepany.


    Lindsey couldn’t help but feel a surge of triumph.


    Kristy wasn’t there, and Lindsey was sure she would have been furious if she were.


    But unexpectedly, Kristy returned during thest chorus session.


    Struggling onto the stage, despite her pain, she announced, “There’s no big deal.


    I just sprained my ankle.


    I can still continue with the filming.


    ”


    Hermitment left the audience deeply impressed.


    The show’s filming progressed smoothly.


    By noon, they were nearly done.


    The afternoon promised some rest in the lounge, with only a few additional shots needed.


    Lindsey and Xiomara decided to head backstage.


    Backstage, they bumped into Kristy, who was amusingly stumbling along.


    Her real-life clumsiness was far more entertaining than her acting, causing Lindsey to giggle.


    Kristy noticed Lindsey and blushed.


    She had intended to embarrass Lindsey’s trainee, but now the tables were turned.


    Lindsey gave Kristy a scornful nce and said, “Miss Chase, I’m sorry to say, my agency’s so-called insignificant trainees took both the first and second spots.


    It seems Gallop Entertainment’s performers don’t even match them.


    Exactly.


    Why else would Gallop Entertainment invest heavily to secure you?”


    Lindsey’s sarcastic tone only fueled Kristy’s anger.


    Pointing an using finger at Lindsey, Kristy said, her voice sharp enough to shatter ss, “Don’t get toofortable, Lindsey.


    This is just the start.


    The show’s far from over.


    You think you’ve already nailed it?”


    Lindsey touched her ear, feigning hurt.


    “I’m only stating facts.


    Why so fired up, Miss Chase? By the way, isn’t there just one contestant from Gallop Entertainment left? You better look out for them.


    ”


    Kristy was seething, unable toe up with aeback.


    Lindsey was right.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Kristy had miscalcted the contestants from Lindsey’spany.


    But she believed that winning in the show wasn’t just about talent.


    With a provocative smile, Kristy turned around and left.


    Back in the agent’s lounge, Lindsey settled down with a sense of satisfaction.


    A knock at the door interrupted her rxation.


    Expecting Sumner or Xiomara, she was surprised to find Domenic’s “cousin”, Carole, outside the door.


    Carole’s remarks were quite impartial, leaving Lindsey with a favorable impression of her.


    Lindsey greeted Carole with a polite smile.


    “Hello, Miss Larson.


    Are you looking for someone?”


    In response, Carole offered a graceful smile to Lindsey.


    “I am looking for you.


    Yourpany’s contestants have put on an impressive performance.


    It was quite a surprise.


    ”


    Lindsey beamed with pride.


    She stepped aside to make way for Carole and invited, “Take a seat.


    ”


    “May I know your name?” Carole walked in and smiled at Lindsey.


    “I’m Lindsey Stewart, the founder of Lindnita Artists Agency.


    I’m also Sumner’s and Xiomara’s agent.


    Feel free to contact me about any coborations with them.


    ” Lindsey then pulled out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Carole.
