61 Dance Challenge
Emma, with Juliet in tow, thanked Lorna and headed towards the central hall. Despite the excitement, they didn’t linger, prioritizing their task over the event’s allure. Their inspection highlighted the challenges posed by such a large–scale event and how it impacted the mall’s normal operations.
After a thorough review, Emma and Juliet settled down to compile their findings for an upcoming meeting. They were aware that the day’s events were exceptional but still considered how the mall would manage on regular days,
“Today’s event seems overwhelming, with the showcase and meeting back–to–back,” Juliet noted, observing Maxwell’s performance and the crowd’s reactions.
Emma playfully criticized Maxwell, “He’s always such a show–off,” which made Juliet laugh.
“You’re lucky he’s too busy to hear you,” Juliet said, amused by Emma’s candidness.
After discussing their observations, Juliet’s attention was drawn to a unique claw machine nearby, featuring a dance game challenge. Her enthusiasm was apparent, but her lack of coordination was a known obstacle, leading her to turn to Emma.
“Please, I really want to win something from it,” Juliet pleaded, her eyes imploring Emma for help.
Emma hesitated, worried about appearing unprofessional, but eventually gave in to Juliet’s request. Fine, but just this once. It would be easier to buy what you want,” she said, heading towards the game.
“It’s not about buying; it’s the thrill of winning,” Juliet insisted.
Emma, amused by Juliet’s insistence, teased, “But you’re not the one winning.”
Juliet had no response, and Emma chuckled at her friend’s expense. “Alright, which prize do you want?” she asked, approaching the dance game machine.
Juliet struggled to choose, wanting every prize. Emma resigned herself to the task, “I’ll try, but this is the last time.”
Their excitement was palpable as Emma started the game. The area was quiet, with most people engrossed in Maxwell’s performance. The attendant barely noticed Emma, too distracted by the
showcase.
Emma inserted her coins, bracing herself for the challenge. However, the game’s difficulty level was unexpectedly high, and the first attempt ended in failure.
Both Emma and Juliet were momentarily speechless at the poor score. Juliet tentatively suggested, Maybe we should stop trying?”

Kuming to the dance game after a long hiatus, una felt out of practice. She had set aside her
bies and passions to fit into the role of a dedicated wife, realizing now it was a disservice to borselt. She used to excel at games like this, but her skills had faded.
Starting with an easier song, Emma slowly regained her rhythm and confidence. By the time she switched to a more challenging track, she was fully immersed, her movements graceful and fluid, attracting the attention of onlookers.
Emma’s background in dance was evident in her coordination and rhythm, drawing an audience that even started to divert attention from Maxwell’s performance.
Jaber, thrilled by Emma’s prowess, recorded her dance on her phone. She was amazed to see Emma hadn’t lost her touch over the years. Winning the plush toy Jullet wanted, Emma was enveloped in a

“Thank you! You’re amazing! I’m glad you’re back to help me win these prizes,” Juliet exclaimed, her excitement palpable.
Emma, feeling a twinge of guilt for neglecting Juliet, resolved to make amends, despite wondering if it was too late to undo the past.
“There are more toys to win. I’ll get them all,” Emma declared, ready to face the challenge.
Meanwhile, Alex observed Emma from a higher vantage point, captivated by this side of her he had never seen. During their marriage, Emma had downplayed her talents and passions to accommodate him. Now, witnessing her true self–vibrant, dynamic, and full of life- Alex felt a mix of admiration and regret.
Bella, accompanying Alex, felt overlooked and grew increasingly frustrated. She had hoped to have Alex’s undivided attention, but Emma’s presence always seemed to overshadow,her efforts.
Alex remained silent in response to Bella’s question, “Are you regretting it now?” His gaze returned to Emma, reflecting a newfound appreciation and realization of his ignorance of her true self. Throughout their marriage, Emma had concealed her abilities, and Alex had been oblivious. Now, seeing her in her element, he recognized how much of her true self she had suppressed for their relationship.
Bella, noticing Alex’s indifference, simmered with jealousy. Despite her efforts to connect with Alex, his attention remained fixated on Emma, reigniting her resentment.
