The Runaway Groom

Chapter 256

Irene was staring at Robin from the back, her lips curling in a smile as she was almost certain what Robin was up to now.

While the other personnel were timing their clocks, Irene waited at the break room, where a man approached her.

“Are you an instructor?”

Irene shook her head. “No.”

“A fellow judge, then?” He continued–he was one of the judges as well. Like most male dancers, he was slim and exceedingly well–groomed, with his hair combed meticulously. The getup did not seem to make him shady, however, thanks to his sunny disposition.

Irene was just about to answer when she spotted Robin nearby, and quickly pretended to look guilty as she whispered, “I’m a judge, but I’m actually acting as a stand–in.”

“Oh! I was just wondering that I’ve not seen you before, since I’ve been judging most competitions and met most of the other judges. You’re not exactly a familiar face.‘

Irene hung her head low. “Actually, this is my first time, so I don’t know much about anything.”

“It’s fine. You can sit beside me later,” the man offered warmly.

“Okay,” Irene replied softly and meekly. “Thank you.”
