Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

Daphne’s smile vanished, replaced by an uncontainable fury. 

“Since I’ve been managing this dance company, you are the first to blatantly disregard our rules by taking jobs on the side!” 

“Ms. Hansen…” 

Sherilyn’s face had already turned pale, but there were things she felt compelled to clarify. 

“I did take a job outside, but that was before I joined the company. I had a contract with the production team…” 

“And so?” 

But such an explanation was futile. 

Daphne was renowned for her strictness. Once a rule was broken, no amount of pleading would change her mind. 

“You were still working on side gigs during your time with the company, weren’t you?” 

Sherilyn opened her mouth but found herself speechless. The accusation was true, and she couldn’t argue with it. 

“Foolish!” 

Daphne shut her eyes, overwhelmed with a sense of regret, as if mourning all that wasted potential. But rules were rules. 

No matter how much she regretted it, she couldn’t keep Sherilyn in the company any longer. 

Daphne gestured with her hand, “Go change out of your rehearsal outfit and leave the company now. 

Sherilyn looked up sharply, her eyes brimming with tears. “Ms. Hansen, I…” 

“There’s no need to say anything more.” 

Daphne gestured again, preventing her from continuing.

“I made an exception to bring you in, but rules are rules. Today, you’ve broken them, and I can’t protect you. Otherwise, how am I supposed to manage this company?” 

After glancing at Sherilyn, she sighed. “It’s a shame, really… you’re sabotaging your own future. But then again, maybe not. With your talent, you might prefer to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry. I believe you’ll do well there.” 

“No, Ms. Hansen…” 

Sherilyn shook her head; that had never been her intention. 

“Ah, well, it’s time to go.” 

There was no room for negotiation with Daphne. “With Mr. Johnson’s backing, you’ll find success in show business. Leaving here might not be such a loss. after all.” 

With a wave of her hand, she added, “Off you go!” 

The situation was past the point of no return. 

Sherilyn had nothing more to say, blaming only herself for not handling the situation properly. 

Even if she had a chance to do it over, she feared she wouldn’t manage it any 

better. 

“Ms. Hansen.” Without further insistence, Sherilyn bowed respectfully. “I… I’m leaving.” 

“Go ahead.” Daphne looked away, refusing to watch her leave. 

Exiting the changing room, Sherilyn stood at the door, feeling engulfed in darkness… What now? 

The joy of joining the company hadn’t even worn off, and in just a couple of days, she was about to become the lead dancer and make her official debut!
