Chapter 34

Alyssa only smiled and didn't say a word. However, the camera switched to Howard once again, making the answer obvious. She chatted with the host for a few more minutes before she left the stage. It was the contestants' turn to perform. When the first contestant was almost done with his performance, Megan was asked to move to the waiting area. When she left backstage and was walking through the staff walkway, she bumped into Alyssa, who was returning backstage after speaking to Howard in the audience. They were about to brush past each other when Alyssa called out, "Elena." Megan halted her footsteps and looked at Alyssa. "How was my performance?" Alyssa asked with a smile. "Did I sound good?" Megan smiled lightly. "It was a good song." The smile on Alyssa's face deepened. "I had a feeling that that song would make you acknowledge my capabilities." Megan smiled again and didn't say a word. "Do you want to join me later when we're splitting off into groups?" Alyssa asked. Toda
