Chapter 454 First Rehearsal Hayley's POV: é.82% +8 Pearls As soon as I stepped out of the restroom, I could hear Kirsty's voice from the other side of the door, laced with smugness.
She was probably ready to scoldfor being late.
Right before she could explode, I pushed the door open and walked in.
When she saw me, her satisfaction was evident, and she said, "Hayley, you're late." I glanced at my watch and replied calmly, "It's exactly 6:00 PM How is that late?" Kirsty checked her phone and, seeing I was right, fell silent.
Someone spoke up, "Alright, since everyone's here, let's begin the rehearsal.” Kirsty shota resentful look, but I simply smiled and ignored her.
"Today's our first rehearsal. Let's finalize the roles before we distribute the scripts," Kirsty announced.
I found a seat and settled in as the others began picking the roles they wanted.
After handing out scripts to everyone, Kirsty still had two remaining.

When I turned to the back, I understood exactly what Kirsty had planned.
I locked eyes with her, my gaze sharp. She didn't look away, meeting my stare with her own challenging one.
I said nothing, choosing instead to focus on the script.
I had agreed to participate, so I intended to give it my full effort.
After reading through the script, I set it aside and stood up.
"Hayley, where are you going?" someone asked.
"I'm going to the restroom, but I'll be back soon," I replied.
With that, I stepped out.
After using the restroom, I reached for the door, only to find it locked from the outside.
I immediately raised called out, "Who's out there? Who locked the door?" All I heard in response was the faint sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

Chapter 454 First Rehearsal I quickly grabbed my phone, but the signal was too weak to make a call.
☐ 82% +8 Pearls Frustrated, I decided to sit on the toilet and calm myself down.
Honestly, I didn't even mind being locked in. I wasn't all that eager for the rehearsal anyway.
So I pulled out my notebook, took out the problem from Professor Cain's assignment, and began working on it. Kirsty's POV: After everything, I went back to the rehearsal room and took a deep breath to steady myself. Someone suggested, "We're pretty familiar with the script by now. Should we try rehearsing?" "That sounds good to me." "By the way, where's the lead actress? Where did she go?" Everyone began scanning the room for Hayley, but the large space was empty.
Then someone casually mentioned, "Hayley went to the restroom. She'll be back soon."
Hearing that, I quickly said, "Hayley toldshe wasn't feeling well asked for leave.

I let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Hayley's POV: I got so caught up in solving the problem while in the restroom that I completely lost track of time.
What felt like only a few minutes turned out to be hours.
I found that, despite being locked in, my mind was clearer than ever as I worked through the problem.
By the tI finally wrote out all the steps and solved it I looked at the tand was shocked to see it was already 11:00 PM. And my stomach was growling from hunger.
It was strange, though. Despite being gone for so long, no one had noticed I was missing/or even cto check on me. Using my Alpha strength, I could easily break the door open with Hera's help.
But that would reveal my true identity.
