When Elien finally finished her performance, the mesmerized guests immediately stood up and applauded in a lively manner. She gave a beautiful deep bow and glanced towards Alaric's table.
Ugh... I don't want to go back there, she thought.
Elien knew she had lost. The longer she stayed, the worse her fate would be. She had to leave immediately. At this point, she didn't care about trapping Alaric anymore, as it was clear that the man now had a new woman and he could easily get rid of Elien.
While biting her lip in annoyance and frenzy, she turned towards the backstage. Just as she was about to escape, she froze. Two men in black were waiting for her beside the stage. They looked dangerous.
"Your job isn't over yet." One of them coldly stated. Elien trembled in fear.
"Wh... Who are you guys?" She stammered.
"Mr. Linden ordered us to keep you here. Your job isn't over yet."
