I sneered in my heart, “Good job, Alexander.” At that moment, a dignified and sharp voice sounded from behind.
“Ava, why are you still standing there? Everyone is waiting for you.” It was Xander.
I turned around and found that behind Xander stood Monica and Ryan. Ordinarily, they were never qualified to stand in such a prominent position.
To everyone’s surprise, the only occasion was in this sort of scenario. Obviously, Xander was worried that I would change my mind and not go on stage “Ava.“Ryan’s face turned serious, wanting to come up and protect me. I immediately shook my head at him, “Ryan, just stay with my mom. Don’t
