Chapter 1539:
After what felt like an eternity of relentless practice, they finally returned to the hotel.
Nick rubbed his stomach and glanced at Elyse. “Did you pack any snacks? I'm starving.”
Elyse darted a cautious glance at Celeste before whispering, “I did. Cby my room later.”
Once inside her room, Elyse leaned against the door, letting out a sigh as though she'd just escaped a lion's den.
Chloe smirked. “Celeste’s presence is so intense! | didn’t even dare blink.”
Elyse groaned, rubbing her sore backside. “Tellabout it! | thought she was just waving that ruler around like
a prop, but no—she really means business.”

Nick’s warning echoed in her mind, and she muttered, “Now | understand why he toldto stay focused.”
Collapsing onto the bed, Elyse rolled around in frustration. Chloe laughed as she grabbed her towel. “Relax,
Elyse. I'm going to shower.” Elyse waved her off, still stewing over the day’s events.
She hadn’t been lying there long when her phone rang. It was Jayden.
Answering the call, she barely had tto say hello before he teased, “So, | heard someone got their
punishment.”
Elyse bolted upright, incredulous. “How on earth do you know about that?”

A realization dawned, and her voice rose in mock betrayal. “Chloe! You betrayed me!”
Jayden chuckled. “Don’t be too hard on her. | only asked what you were up to, and she gavethe short
version. But | must admit, | never expected you to lose focus. | thought you were focused during practice.”
Elyse huffed, indignation flashing in her eyes. “I just got distracted. But I've learned my lesson and stayed on
track ever since.”
Jayden chuckled, his laughter bubbling up uncontrollably.
Blushing furiously, Elyse shot back, “Alright, alright. Enough with the laughing already.”
“Fine, I'll behave,” Jayden said, clearing his throat tically. “I'm wrapping up my work soon. | should be able
to make it in tfor your performance. Afterward, we'll have a few days to spend together before heading
back.”
Elyse murmured a soft reply but then hesitated before asking, “Have you heard anything about Tracy today?”
Jayden shook his head. “No updates yet. Are you worried about her?”

“I am,” Elyse admitted quietly. “I miss her and want to see her.”
Jayden reassured her, his tone steady. “I've got someone digging into it. We'll have answers soon.”
Their conversation lingered for a while longer before they hung up. Elyse, feeling more at ease, began settling in
for the night.
Meanwhile, Chloe emerged from her shower, only to find Elyse already fast asleep. With a gentle smile, she
pulled the blanket over Elyse before turning in herself.
The next morning, Elyse stirred awake, her body luxuriating in the bliss of a natural wake-up. But as her eyes
fluttered open, she froze, her gaze locking onto a familiar figure that had no business being in her room.
She squinted, her voice groggy. “Louise? What on earth are you doing here?”
Louise looked up leisurely, a playful smile tugging at her lips. “Good morning, sunshine. I'm here to take you out
for breakfast.”
