Chapter 162
Chapter 162She had barely taken a drag when April snatched the cigarette away, snuffed it out, and waved her hand dismissively.
“Mr. Dashiell cares so much about the bun in the oven, and smoking ain’t exactly flavor of the month. How about you lay off it fora bit?”
Looking visibly irritated, Evelina slapped her belly with a thud.
“Ugh, so annoying!”
Chill out, even if you're out of luck, it’s not like Lizetta snagged the chance either, so it’s not a total bust.”April tried to console her, and Evelina’s face finally softened.

“The foreigners from this room? They checked out and left with their group an hour ago.”Lizetta felt her breath catch, seeing several missed calls from Anna on her phone.
She dashed to the elevator and dialed Anna, but no one answered.
It wasn’t until she was almost on the ground floor that Anna picked up on Lizetta’s fourth attempt.
“Anna, I’m so sorry, this afternoon.”She was cut off by Anna, who spoke coldly.
“She despises tardiness and those not serious about dance. Your attitude has disappointed her. We're boarding soon, and don’tcall again.”
Anna hung up, but Lizetta didn’t give up and kept calling as she ran out of the hotel.However, Anna had clearly blocked Lizetta.Standing outside the hotel, a draft swept through as Lizetta crouched down in disarray.novelbin
