<b>Chapter </b><b>270</b>
Morwenna was backstage, her eyes glued to the script in her hands.
Truth be told, she could recite every line backwards if needed, but in these final moments, she couldn’t help but go over <b>it </b>again <b>and</b>
again.
Morwenna didn’t possess a photographic memory, nor did she have the privilege of elite tutors or a wealth of resources at her disposal. Everything she achieved was the result of her own hard work.
Once she set her mind to something, Morwenna was the type to put in more effort than most<b>, </b>striving for perfection.

It wasn’t until the half–hour mark before showtime that Morwenna finally closed her script. She took a drink of water<b>, </b>keeping her mind sharp and clear.
The makeup artist approached, ready to touch up Morwenna’s makeup.
“You’ve got amazing skin,” the makeup artist couldn’t help but exim. “Two hours under these lights and not a hint of shine. You hardly need a touch–up.”
Morwenna smiled, “Your skin looks great too.”
Her voice was sweet, and with thatment, the makeup artist’s face lit up with a broad smile, “Oh, honey, it’s <b>all </b>makeup and concealer magic <b>for </b>me.”
Morwenna sincerelyplimented, “Well, then you’re really skilled with your.makeup.”

The makeup artist, proud of her work, said with a gleam in her eyes, “You’re going to dazzle everyone out there.”

Morwenna immediately spotted Stuart in the audience.
Stuart was the kind of person who stood out, even in a crowd.
<b>Morwenna </b>gave Stuart a small smile. Stuart responded with a <b>subtle </b>grin of his own.
This small exchange <b>went </b>unnoticed by most, <b>and </b>anyone who <b>did </b>catch it would have assumed Morwenna was <b>looking </b>at <b>the </b>principal.

“Wow, Morwenna looks like <b>a </bpletely different <b>person </b>with <b>that </b>outfit. How <b>can she </b>pull <b>off </b><b>every </b><b>look </b><b>so </b>effortlessly<b>?</b>”
“Right? I heard there was talk of recasting the lead role. Thank god less that <b>didn’t </b>happen.”
