The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2541

Everyone looked sympathetically in her direction, having noticed that something was amiss. She had suffered a humiliating loss, one that might be attributed to a lapse in focus. The issue could end there if she was in a good mood though.

After all, she went to the dance studio to practice her dancing and prepare a routine for when she had a meet-and-greet with her fans. She did not think that her rival would be better than her when so few classes had been attended.

Though she had been anticipating the dance instructor's announcement of her victory in the competition, it was Melody's hand that the instructor raised. She stared at the instructor in disbelief and said, "Ma'am! This must be a mistake. I'm on your left! You should be raising my hand!"

The instructor blinked and lowered Melody's hand. She then announced, "The winner of the first round is-Melody!"

Carmen was left rattled and in utter disbelief. "Even if you're biased, you can't show it so blatantly in front of everyone! We can all see who the true winner is! All my respect and admiration for you has gone down the drain after you lied in front of so many people just to please Melody and Lucas!"

The instructor looked at her in confoundment. "Why are you so convinced you'd win? No one objected when I declared Melody the winner. Have a look at everyone's expressions, will you?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After her reminder, Carmen finally noticed that the sympathetic looks she believed were directed at Melody were directed at herself. Shocked, she took two steps back and said, "No... This must've been a mistake! She should be the loser here! Are you all brainwashed by her, too?"

As the scene became more dreadful to watch, the instructor stepped forward and explained, "As I've said before, your dancing is practically flawless, but you have this air of superiority over you. Your sole motivation seems to be expressing yourself in the best light possible, yet you forget that dance itself is a form of expression. What you should be expressing isn't so much yourself, but how much you resonate with the act of dancing. You're putting yourself in the spotlight a little too much, if you get what I mean."

She snorted. "Tch. You're only saying that because she's your superstar student. You said that my dancing is flawless, then what are your comments about her? Do you genuinely think she's good? Or are you just going to brush it off by telling me that she's talented in dancing? I'm not going to accept this excuse again. I've heard it too many times already."

The instructor made no comment and simply asked the person who had recorded the video to bring over his phone so she could take a look and see who won and who lost.

Carmen's expression was very disdainful at first, but as she watched, her expression gradually darkened. To put it bluntly, her performance was the polar opposite of Melody's. Just as the instructor had critiqued before, Carmen's focus was on self-expression, while Melody's focus was on expressing the dance.

"You have many years of dancing under your belt, and I'm sure the winner is clear to you now that you've seen the video. And this is just the first round. Are you still going to continue?"

If she lost both rounds, she probably would not be able to hold her head up in the dance room anymore. The instructor had given her a way out with that question.

Just as Carmen was about to say yes, Melody declined ahead of her.

Carmen was a little surprised by that. "Are you scared of losing?"

The instructor nearly rolled her eyes in front of them. Melody did that to save the last shred of Carmen's dignity, yet Carmen misconstrued Melody's response to be a sign of cowardice.
