Chapter 10
Upon hearing her words, the young women in the Christmas troupe immediately erupted in excited screams.
Alexander Scott, the president of Scott Group, was both young and wealthy. If they could catch his eye, their future status would definitely rise to the next level.
With this thought, everyone rushed back to the dressing room to primp themselves, all wanting to present their best side to Alexander.
Only Caroline stood quietly in place, her mind in complete
chaos.
She wondered, “What is Alexander doing backstage for no
reason?”
Even when Alexander was pursuing her most frantically during Christmas, he never came backstage. At most, he would have
Bennett deliver flowers to her on his behalf.
The more Caroline thought about it, the more confused she became. Her hands hanging at her sides involuntarily clenched into fists, and she didn’t even notice her nails digging deep into her palms.
“Caroline,” Adeline said.
Hearing the concern in
reality. “Adeline, what’s wrong?”
Adeline replied, “You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell? Why don’t you go back to the hotel to rest? As for Mr. Scott, you don’t need to worry about him.”
Caroline bit her lip and remained silent.
Her emotions were indeed off right now, and she couldn’t guarantee what would happen when she saw Alexander again.
So Caroline ultimately agreed to Adeline’s suggestion and hurried toward the exit without even removing her mask.
But just then, footsteps suddenly echoed from ahead, along with a stranger’s obsequious voice: “Mr. Scott, please come in. We are deeply honored by your visit to our dance troupe.”
The person spoke while preparing to lift the thick curtain in front of Caroline.
She instantly became nervous and quickly turned to hide in a corner. At that moment, Alexander entered the backstage area.
As soon as he walked in, the girls from the dance troupe frantically surrounded him, excitedly greeting him.
Instantly, the overwhelming scent of the girls’ perfume rushed into Alexander’s nostrils, making him involuntarily frown.
He endured the discomfort and silently surveyed the group of girls before him.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a certain corner. With just one glance, he identified his target.
Alexander asked, “That person is your troupe’s principal dancer, isn’t she?”
Because of this single sentence, everyone’s attention shifted to Caroline at the very back.
Caroline, now the center of attention, was slightly stunned, her heartbeat skipping a beat.
Seeing that Caroline hadn’t left yet, Adeline felt panicked, but ultimately had no choice but to helplessly wave Caroline over.
Soon, Caroline walked up to Alexander. Alexander no longer concealed his gaze.
He carefully looked Caroline up and down. Unfortunately, because Caroline was still wearing her mask, he still couldn’t see her true face.
His focused gaze made Caroline particularly uncomfortable, but

him.
The two of them stared at each other like this without saying a word. After quite a while, Alexander was finally the first to speak.
He asked, “Why are you still wearing your mask after coming offstage?”
From the moment this woman appeared on stage, Alexander’s gaze had been completely fixed on her and couldn’t be moved
away.
While everyone else was trying their best to attract his attention, only this woman was avoiding his gaze.
Even when leaving the stage, she was the first to quickly depart.
This naturally caught Alexander’s attention.
After all, since he held that press conference announcing that he was married and widowed, there were many women in Washington pursuing him.
Only the woman before him avoided Alexander like the plague, as if he were some kind of beast.
Moreover, just now when she was dancing on stage, she even
made Alexander think for a moment that he was seeing Caroline.
If he hadn’t personally buried Caroline’s ashes with his own hands, Alexander would have thought he was seeing a ghost.
So, with his mind full of questions, he came backstage immediately after the show ended, coming before this masked
Woman.
