Stella said, "With Rachel's so-called terminal illness and her relentless effort, it's hard for anyone with a heart not
to be moved by her."
Abby frowned. "But she's faking it!"
Stella's tone was calm. "But Mr. Walden doesn't know that."
Abby, still indignant, snapped, "Then he's just a clueless old man who can't tell right from wrong. He actually
thinks Rachel is better than you? Just wait, he's going to regret it one day!"
"Star, we have to make this concert a hit. Let's show Rachel and Mr. Walden what we're made of!"
Stella had already cooled down from her initial anger and frustration. "Maybe it's for the best. It just proves that
Mr. Walden and we aren't on the swavelength. He may be one of the world's top maestros, but that doesn't
mean he's right for us."
Abby nodded. "Star, you don't need to study under anyone. You're not lacking in talent or guidance-what you

Stella smiled. "still, I have to thank Noah for helping out this time-givingthe invitation and introducingto
Mr. Walden."
Abby grinned. "Noah, huh? He's obviously interested in you. Maybe you should give him a shot?"
She winked playfully at Stella. “Even if you're not ready for marriage, what's the harm in a little romance?"
Stella shook her head, laughing. "I'm not thinking about relationships right now. | just want to focus on my
career."
Abby had only been teasing her anyway, so she let it drop.
Looking around the stushe'd decorated herself, Abby sighed with regret. "Is there really no way to save our
studio?"
Stella replied, "Whether we can or not, let's prepare for the worst. If Rachel does manage to take it from us, we'll
be left with nowhere to rehearse, and that could ruin the whole concert. Besides, with Haynes getting involved,
I'm afraid—"
She didn't get to finish. There was a knock at the door.
Because the stuwas full of paint fumes, the door was left open. In walked a man in an impeccably tailored
suit, his stride confident and elegant.
"This is the place?" He turned to Benson, who followed behind.
Benson smiled. "Yes, this is the last location we traced them to."
Haynes nodded and strode in, guided by Benson.
Stella had her back to the door, oblivious to the commotion behind her.
She said to Abby, "Let's have Candida Fletcher start working tomorrow. The other two floors are still up and
running, so she can get used to the concert scores. By the way, the venue for the concert-did you get it

Before Stella could respond, she noticed Abby's expression suddenly change.
"Abby? What's wrong?"
Abby stared straight ahead, silent.
Puzzled, Stella turned to look.
A strikingly handsome, cold-faced man was standing in the doorway.
"Haynes?" Stella's face immediately hardened. "What are you doing here?" Haynes didn't answer. Instead, he
glanced at Benson.
Benson's gaze lingered on Abby and Stella for a moment before he nodded, signaling confirmation.
For stnow, Benson had been quietly investigating everything about Star.
