Adelyn composed herself and replied, "It was good."
Amelia blinked. "Good?" She studied her, clearly waiting to hear more from her —something that would help her understand better what had really happened during the audition.
But when Adelyn said nothing even after a moment, Amelia drew her own conclusion.
She assumed the girl was putting on a brave front.
And no matter what, she couldn't blame her.
After all, she had witnessed herself that Adelyn had been deliberately targeted.
Anyone in her position would have faltered.
Reaching out, Amelia placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a gentle pat. "It's okay. You found the courage to step onto the stage —that alone is brave enough. Freya and I are proud of you. Even if you don't get this role, we are sure that soon enough you'll bag a better opportunity than this one."
Adelyn was slightly taken aback.
For a second, she didn't understand what had prompted Amelia to say that.
But then —
She did.
