Chapter 99: Chapter 99 - Antagonist’s Role

With only a week left before the final audition showdown with Paolo, Talon knew he had to maximize every available moment to train more effectively. Tobias had tightened up his schedule, balancing intense practice at The Phoenix Troupe Training Center with additional sessions with Emily and Claire.

Emily committed to visiting Talon for about an hour every day to focus on the acting part of his preparation. Her extraordinary talent in acting allowed her to effortlessly guide Talon, helping him catch up at an impressive pace. Even during his training sessions with the team at the center, the coaches were visibly astounded by his rapid progress.

"When did you learn this scene, Talon? Isn't this your first time attempting it?" one of the male coaches inquired, visibly surprised.

"Yes, sir, I've been studying it on my own," Talon replied, keeping to Emily's specific request to keep their joint sessions a secret.
