You met Lisa at the Backstage

Backstage, you let out a deep breath, the tension in your shoulders slowly unwinding. The hardest part was over, and you had done it—you had successfully opened the show. The crowd's applause still echoed faintly in your ears, and a sense of accomplishment filled your chest.

As you returned to the bustling backstage area, Lisa Tran was waiting for you, her sharp eyes immediately locking onto you as you approached. She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, her smile curling at the edges of her lips.

“You nailed it,” Lisa said, walking over to you. “You did it perfectly.”

You couldn’t help but grin, the praise sending a warm rush through you. “I was so nervous,” you admitted, still feeling the aftershocks of the adrenaline pumping through your veins.

“Everyone is,” Lisa replied, brushing off your concern. “That’s normal. But you pulled through. Now, go ahead and change. Even though we have some time, you should get into your next outfit. It’s all prepared for you in the changing room.”

You nodded, still riding the high of your successful walk, and made your way back to the changing room. The area was buzzing with models coming in and out, adjusting their outfits and exchanging last-minute touches, but you kept your focus as you found a bag labeled “Alexis 2” hanging neatly on a hook. The label, now second nature to you, marked your second appearance in the show.
