Rachel looked around but instead saw Tanya turning the corner and entering the bathroom at the side.
"Rachel, what's Caden doing over there?"
Her sidekick nudged her arm and said, "Surely, Sheril isn't trying to poach him while you're away?"
Rachel's eyes turned cold and she started walking over with her.
As soon as the two approached, they heard Caden say,"... Her family can ask Tanya Turner to hold classes for her just because she wants to learn how to dance!"
Rachel's lip corners curled upward.
Her sidekick said smugly, "It's not just that! Even a lofty person like Ms. Turner remembers Rachel's name!"
Caden turned and looked at her eagerly upon hearing what the sidekick said.
Rachel lifted her chin triumphantly and said, "I'll introduce you to Ms. Turner when we meet her again later."
Caden immediately nodded.
Rachel then looked at Sheril and Nora. She smiled and asked, "Sheril, Ms. Smith. Do you want me to introduce the two of you to her, too?"
Her sidekick immediately complimented her. "You're so nice to your cousin, Rachel!"
Rachel giggled. "We're family after all..."
Sheril looked straight at her. "No, it's fine. I'm not going professional!"
Rachel's expression immediately darkened.
Caden frowned and said, "Sheril, why are you still being so headstrong? Why are you refusing such a good opportunity?"
"Because she doesn't need it." A clear and cool voice interrupted Caden.
Nora stood up from the sofa, the corners of her lips curling up when she looked into the distance.
The few of them followed her gaze and looked over to see Tanya, who had just come out of the bathroom, waving at them and jogging over.
Rachel was taken aback.
Next to her, her sidekick immediately became excited. "Rachel, Ms. Turner is waving at you!"
Caden's eyes also shone.
When Sheril had refused to reconcile with him just now, he had actually regretted his actions a little. But seeing how enthusiastic Tanya was toward them now... It seemed like the Woods' connections were indeed very impressive!
The sidekick spoke very loudly, so everyone around them also looked over.
"My goodness, it seems like Ms. Turner really likes Rachel a lot! Is it because she dances well?"
"I heard that Ms. Turner is very well-respected in foreign aristocratic circles... But she's being so friendly to Rachel?"
"..."
The remarks, which were full of envy, made Rachel lift her chin. She hadn't expected Tanya to have such a good impression of her, either.
With a smile on her face, she took a couple of steps toward Tanya, ready to greet her.
Seeing Tanya coming closer and closer to her, Rachel stood still, straightened her back, and said, "Ms. Turner!"
Her expression was just right. It was neither overly flattering—which would make it look like she was fawning on the other party—nor too cold, which would make Tanya uncomfortable.
Surely she would become the center of attention after this, right?
But the next moment, her expression froze.
Tanya came toward her.
The two stood facing each other.
Then, Tanya suddenly turned sideways, bypassed her, and continued forward, passing her by.
Rachel was dumbfounded.
Then, she immediately heard a voice behind her. "Nora! I missed you so much!"
