Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 531

Sherilyn grabbed her phone, dialing Gilbert's number.

No answer.

Was he busy, or just didn't hear it?

Just as she was about to try again, Lauren approached her.

"Ms. Sherilyn! There you are. The director's looking for you. We're having a quick meeting."

"Alright, I'm on my way."

Sherilyn had no choice but to put her phone away and head to the meeting.

After the meeting, she returned to the rehearsal space.

As soon as she opened the door, Callie rushed towards her.

"Ms. Sherilyn, you're back? Perfect timing, I've got a question for you."

Thinking it was about dance techniques, Sherilyn prompted her to continue.

Callie frowned and said, "It's this—where's Caroline, our lead? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Sherilyn was taken aback, not expecting this question.

Looking at the other performers, their faces showed a mix of awkwardness, dissatisfaction, and mockery.

"Well..."

"Ha."

Everyone just chuckled, avoiding a direct answer.

Callie persisted, "Ms. Sherilyn, is she dealing with something?"

"I'm not sure," Sherilyn shook her head, telling the truth. "I'm here to assist the performers. As for their schedules... I have no idea."

Somebody sighed, "She's missed several practices, not just today."

"Last time, we all waited for her, but she never showed."

"Will she be coming to today's rehearsal?"

"It's hard to say..."

"Well, she's a star, always busy."

"Callie? Long time no see. What's the matter? Who upset you?"

"Don't play nice with me!" Callie had no interest in pleasantries, rolling her eyes in disdain. "I'm talking about you! Hogging the spotlight without delivering! You've got some nerve!"

"You..."

Caroline was taken aback, not expecting to be confronted so directly.

"What about me? Am I wrong?" Callie looked at her with contempt. "Don't give me that victim look!"

Caroline, struggling to contain her anger, turned away, "Vulgar!"

"Vulgar?" Callie laughed in frustration. "I come from a reputable family, a true lady, unlike you, who seems to have sprung up from nowhere!"

"You..." Caroline was shaking with anger, her face flushing.

Sherilyn watched from the side, thinking: These two seem to have a history, and not a friendly one.

The tension was palpable, ready to explode.

"You!" Callie stood tall, staring Caroline down, emphasizing each word, "Give up the lead role!"
