Noah's Pov:
I quickly shut the system and closed my eyes.
Geez! What the hell was I doing??
Noah!!
I hit my head and laughed.
I can't believe I almost gave in to the temptation of peeking at her. Thank goodness I resisted, feeling the internal struggle and relief.
Although...it was kinda tempting.
I smiled, leaned back in my chair, and after a little while decided to open the system again.
I opened it slowly, step by step and boom! It showed up
But she was already done dressing and was sitting on the bed, working on a book.
Hmm.
I watched her for a little while. I wonder what she's doing.
I finally shut the system and went to lie on the bed to sleep.

Rex's Pov:
"Damn it!!" I cursed and kicked the wall.
"What the hell is wrong with you? I gave you a simple task, yet you couldn't even do it?" I yelled at those jobless people in front of me.
"It was really difficult, sir. The security was too tight, and forcing our way around her would've caused a fight we weren't ready for. We're sorry," the leader among them apologised, making me angrier.
Damn it! I really needed to see that lady! Why couldn't they carry out the job?
"We promise to put in more effort next time," he said further, and I glared at him.
"No", I huffed.
"I want you to do something else for me.
"My brother - I want you to beat him up. Can you do that?" I asked, and they looked at each other, surprised.
"You...you mean Mr Noah?" Another asked.
"Yes - Noah. Please attack him and give him the beating of his life. I need him to feel a little of the pain he's caused me. Can you do that?" I asked angrily, and they nodded.
Good.

Maxine's Pov:
I woke up the next morning, feeling a little excited. However, I couldn't tell why.
I reached for the remote and turned on the TV in the room.
Oh my geeeeee
My face was all over the news
I mean...the veiled face, tho. But it was me!
They were talking about my performance the previous night!
And once again, the crazy dancer left a lot of people speechless with her incredible performance from last night. According to many, none of the contestants danced perfectly like her, as there was something strange and magical in her dance steps," the reporter announced.
I covered my mouth with my palms to prevent myself from screaming.
Oh, my God! It's unbelievable!
I checked other channels, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as the same story played out, making me wonder how I'd be perceived.
The big question is: Who's the Crazy Dancer?" The reporter on one of the channels asked, and my cheeks turned red.
Geez! I wonder what the reactions would be when I finally reveal my face
Hm.
I checked for more news to see if the lucky contestants had been announced, but there was none; none.
They had yet to announce those who made it to the next stage, and it made me really nervous.
Well, with the news going on around me, I could be among them, right?
Hmm.
I smiled.
I decided to leave the bed and do something else, but as I looked out the window, a sudden chill ran down my spine at what I saw, hinting at trouble ahead.
Huh?
I drew closer to have a look and confirmed it was true.
Police officers were standing outside with Noah - and my uncle was among them.
Whaaaat??
Oh my God!!

Noah's Pov:
As I reached for a coffee from the kitchen, a strange feeling crept over me when the maid mentioned visitors-my heart pounded with anticipation and unease.
"They're waiting outside, sir", she added and left, and I wondered who they could be.
I sipped from my coffee and kept it on the kitchen, then went ahead to meet the men afterwards and...oh!
What a surprise!
Maxine's uncle and some police men.
I paused by the door but finally shook my head and moved closer to them.
"Good morning, Mr Noah", one of them greeted, but I didn't reply immediately.
I scrutinised them and stared keenly at the mischievous uncle.
"Good morning, officer. How may I help you?" I asked, my hand in my trouser pocket, and he brought out his I.D.
"I'm Officer Carl. And you've been accused of the illegal abduction of the young niece of Mr Richard here. We're here to take her away, and you'll have to come with us to the station," he said levelly, and I scoffed.
Seriously?
I exhaled deeply and took a step closer.
"Officers", I called, looking at the uncle instead.
"Before you take Maxine away, you'll have to kill me".
