Chapter 291 - Send A Message (1/2)

The girls of Macaron spent all day rehearsing for their concert. The concert was designed to have 7 distinct parts: a 30-minute introduction where all 7 girls appeared on stage; a 15-minute performance featuring Mimi, Ara, and Chu; a 15-minute solo performance by the leader, Avaleigh; a 15-minute performance featuring Ray, Olivia, and Nana; another 30-minute performance by the entire group for the finale; and a 30-minute encore.

It was designed this way so the girls all had adequate rest between performances and got the chance to stand out a little more without having to fight for the limelight.

While Ray, Olivia, and Nana were rehearsing on stage, Chu greeted Avaleigh excitedly as soon as she stepped into the change room and followed her over to her chair.

Avaleigh was covered in a layer of sweat so Chu quickly handed her a towel and gently leaned against the dressing table in front of her. There was a 15-minute intermission after Ray, Olivia, and Nana got off the stage, so Avaleigh had 30 minutes to prepare for the group performance.

Chu decided to take this opportunity to gossip a little.

”So, did President Wu explain why he's still single by chance? How is such an impressive man still single?” she asked nosily.

Avaleigh wiped her face and neck with the towel and thought about the man she had seen earlier that day. That morning, when they were standing inside the empty auditorium, he had explained to her that he had never dated before because he was in love with the same person for over a decade and that person ended up marrying his brother.

That was when she remembered that he never answered her question. Did he still have feelings for that woman?

Respecting the man's privacy, Avaleigh shook her head and replied, ”I guess he just hasn't found the right person.”

At that moment, Mimi approached the two and handed Avaleigh a bottle of water with electrolytes. ”You must be dehydrated,” she said as she handed it to her group leader casually. She then walked back over to sit with Ara.

Avaleigh accepted the bottle thankfully and drank it. This was the drink they always had during their concerts because it was a good way to rehydrate and boost their energy.

When Chu saw Mimi, she leaned over and whispered in Avaleigh's ear, ”Do you think Mimi might be the right person?”

Mimi had made it pretty clear that she wanted to make Emerson hers.

Avaleigh almost choked on her water when she heard this question. Acting like she didn't care, she shrugged her shoulder and leaned forward to retouch her makeup. ”I don't know him that well,” she replied. But, deep down, the thought of Mimi and Emerson being together made her a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Avaleigh wasn't very interested in the conversation, Chu scrunched up her nose and walked back over to join Mimi and Ara.
