“Lloyd!” Bradley was overjoyed, clapping his hands as he finally met his idol.
Lloyd stepped up to the stage and greeted the audience. “Hello everyone, I’m Lloyd Holder, a graduate of the Royal Creek Institute in acting.”
Thunderous applause rose from the audience to the school’s previous senior, who had become a famous artist in showbiz.
But Lloyd’s eyes were busy searching for Nicole in the crowd. Eventually, he found her and could not help but smile gently at her.
Lulu was stunned. “Wow! Isn’t Lloyd looking over here? He is smiling at me!”
Nicole said nothing, knowing that Lloyd was saying hello to her. But she only responded with a slight nod of her head. But that was enough for Lloyd.
Retracting his gaze, Lloyd continued to speak. Afterward, he handed the microphone back to Preston and left the stage.
Preston was excited, too. Nicole looked at her cousin from behind and pursed her lips helplessly. He looks as cool as a cucumber on normal days, but it turns out that he can get excited, too, when he sees Lloyd.
Nicole smiled at the thought of this. She sat back down and watched the show with her arms crossed as Preston continued to preside.
Sitting in the back row, Gary suddenly said, “Was Lloyd looking at you?”
Nicole raised an eyebrow, not expecting Gary to have observed so closely. She groused, saying, “None of your business.”
Gary’s face darkened, and he muttered to himself. ‘While there is something going on between Nicole and Harvey, here comes another guy. She and Lloyd know each other?’
“Who the hell is this brat?”
Jack heard it and asked, “What did you say, Gary?”
Gary did not bother to answer him. “Just watch your show.”
Jack looked away and shifted his attention back to the stage.
Not far away, Vivian stomped her feet and glared at Gary and Nicole.
The opening speech had finally ended, and a series of performances began. Besides musicals, there were also song and dance performances from the university department. They all were awesome, and the performances of the performance art faculty were even more amazing.
Snow, who was from the performance art faculty, was at the center of the performance.
She stole the limelight in an instant, and many cheered along. People who admired Snow were screaming at the top of their lungs that Snow was the most popular girl in the school as if they had long forgotten that Snow had fallen off that altar.
Snow was doing her best dancing on stage while her eyes involuntarily looked at Harvey, trying to get his attention.
But Harvey had a nonchalant expression, cold to the extreme.
The longer Snow danced, the more diffident she was, and she nearly made mistakes during her last dance movement. Fortunately, she managed to recover and stabilize her posture in time.
No one but Nicole had noticed that Snow’s dance movements were not as neat as expected.
But because there were fewer song and dance programs, Snow’s show appeared very exciting. At the time of voting, she got the highest score in the university department.
“It will be our turn soon,” Lulu said with excitement. “Snow has performed well, but you are still the best looking.”
Nicole did not care what others thought. After all, she did not intend to compete for the heroine’s role.
Vivian came up to them. “It’s almost our turn. Ms. Emerson told us to go backstage and get ready.”
Only then did they get up and go backstage.
Most of the people at the lounge backstage were mostly high-school students. Each class changed into their costumes in the order of appearance.
Lulu and June had got changed. When they saw Nicole had not, they became anxious. “Why haven’t you got changed, Nicole?”
Nicole glanced at the order of appearance. “There’s still time. No hurry.” Her gorgeous dress was too heavy to wear.
Lulu was anxious. “But you still need to be ready. We will help you.”
With that, the two helped Nicole change into the costume.
Just as they picked up Nicole’s costume, Lulu noticed that the sleeve of the clothing was torn.
