Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 38

Jane felt a bit uneasy when she heard the bet, even though she initiated it. She looked at the other people in the studio, but they avoided eye contact and didn’t want to get involved.

Jane was angry and frustrated. Weren’t these people always dissatisfied with Selena’s work? Why were they all afraid to compete now?

She couldn’t admit it, but part of her anger was directed at herself. She knew she couldn’t beat Selena, so why did she stick her neck out like this?

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

Selena responded calmly. “If you don’t want to compete, then don’t. No need to make excuses.”

Throughout their exchange, Selena remained calm while Jane became increasingly frustrated
