Liza hadn’t anticipated such boldness from Madisyn.


    “Alright, I ept the bet!” Liza let out a sarcasticugh.


    “It doesn’t matter; Evie’s not making it into the top three.


    So, Madisyn, start packing your things.


    ”


    With that, Liza strutted back to her office, the sharp clicks of her high heels echoing down the hallway.


    Teresa smirked turning to Madisyn.


    “You’ve got some nerve crossing Liza like that.


    ”


    Madisyn shot back, “Well, I’m not in the habit of being someone else’spdog like you.


    ”


    Teresa’s smile vanished instantly.


    “Enjoy your arrogance while itsts.


    I can’t wait to see how confident you are when you’re walking out the door.


    ”


    With a huff, Teresa returned to her work.


    Madisyn had just started to focus on herputer when someone approached her.


    “Madisyn, it might be smarter not to go head-to-head with Liza.


    I know Evie’s skills, and honestly, she’s just average.


    There are some really talented singers in thispetition.


    Giana’speting too, and with her abilities, she’s almost guaranteed first ce.


    It’s going to be tough for Evie to be in the top three.


    ”


    Madisyn looked at the sweet girl and smiled.novelbin


    “Don’t worry.


    I’ve got this under control.


    ”


    The girl sighed, her concern evident, before heading back to her desk.


    The first round of the singingpetition was an online selection process, where only the talented ones would advance to the second round.


    Given Evie’s talent, it was almost certain she’d make it through this initial phase.


    But the second round was a different beast altogether-only the strongest contenders made it this far.


    For the contest, each participant had to submit their own original song.


    Evie had crafted her track and sent it over to Madisyn for feedback.


    Madisyn made a few adjustments and then sent the track back to Evie.


    Evie only expected a quick review, but when Madisyn sent the track back, it was something entirely different.


    The edits Madisyn had made?


    They were nothing short of phenomenal.


    Evie stared at the revised track in disbelief.


    She quickly called Madisyn.


    “Hey, be straight with me.


    Did you bring in a pro for this?”


    Madisyn chuckled softly.


    “You could say that.


    So, what do you think?”


    “It’s amazing! Honestly, I’m not exaggerating-I could make it to the final with this.


    If I nail the performance, I might even take the championship!” Evie was over the moon, absolutely in love with the song.


    Madisyn smiled, though her eyes grew distant.


    She was lost in thought.


    There was a time when she wrote songs like this for Giana as well.
