“Delay the competition! It must be postponed, or we risk catastrophe!”
Meanwhile, in the car, Elyse observed David's composed demeanor and, with a puzzled expression, questioned
him, “What did you do? I've just been told the competition has now been delayed.”
David offered Elyse a mysterious smile and a wink, teasing, “Curious, aren't you? | might just keep you
guessing.”
Elyse, visibly confused, stared at him, baffled by how someone without a phone signal could have influenced the
competition’s schedule. David, amused by her puzzled look, added playfully, “Your confusion makeswant to
hold onto the secret even longer.”

Meanwhile, Fiona was comfortably applying her makeup in the lounge assigned for Elyse’s use. Despite not
qualifying for the Grand Final based on skill, Fiona had found a different way to be involved in the competition.
She smirked at her reflection, pleased with how effortlessly she had secured a position meant for Elyse. While
applying her lipstick, she mused aloud, “Elyse, | can’t wait to see the desperation on your face when you miss
the competition.” Fiona admired her reflection as she applied her lipstick meticulously, then glanced at her
phone to check the time.
To her astonishment, the scheduled tfor the competition had already elapsed. Puzzled, she thought, “That's
odd. The competition should have started by now. What's the delay?” Determined and fully prepared, she rose
from her seat, intent on discovering what had happened. She sought out Darren, the only contestant with whom
she felt she could communicate effectively.

Upon reaching his door, she knocked, but received no response. Persisting, she called his name, but the silence
continued. Growing impatient, she finally pushed the door open, only to find the room empty. “Was | forgotten?”
Fiona wondered aloud, a mix of confusion and concern in her voice. “Could the competition have started without
anyone informing me?”
She rushed to the competitions backstage area in a panic. Upon arriving, she found only a few staff members
chatting and no sign of the contestants, which brought her a momentary sense of relief.
Gavin confronted her with a stern look, his arms crossed. “Fiona, why are you here? You're not part of this
competition. You shouldn't be backstage.”
Turning to face him, Fiona quickly adopted a charming smile and inquired, “I'm waiting for Elyse. Have you seen
her? Why hasn't she arrived yet?”

Gavin, visibly irritated, already knew from Irving that Elyse was en route to the venue and that the competition
had been delayed temporarily. There was a chance Elyse might show up before the competition started. Eyeing
Fiona with suspicion, he asked, “Why such interest in Elyse? Given your history, it’s odd—almost as if you're
hiding something.”
Fiona’s smile faltered as she silently rebuked Gavin. She detested how he always seemed to cast her in a
negative light.
Frustrated, she responded coolly, “You are awfully wrong. And why can’t you just leavealone? Always prying
into things that don’t concern you.”
Taken aback by her blunt words, Gavin retorted with a smirk, “Oh, so now I'm nosy? If you think I'm meddling
now, just wait—I'm just getting started.”
He then turned to the nearby staff and commanded, “She's not a contestant. Please escort her out from
backstage.”
