By half-past nine in the morning, all the students had assembled in the schoolyard, and the opening ceremony was about to begin.
The audience was made up of several thousand people. Woodsbury University had more than a dozen schools, and they were each separated by a road.
The people in the audience were chattering non-stop.
“To be honest, I haven’t seen what the new campus belle looks like.”
“Well, you’re in for a treat today. She’s going to be on stage to give a fifteen-minute speech.”
“Guys, are your cameras ready? Let’s give the new campus belle a warm welcome!”
Eighty percent of the people offstage were Janet’s admirers, and they all had their cameras with them. There was a good chance that the Woodsbury University Forum might crash again today.
There were girl’s voices among the audience as well, but they were all muttering envious remarks.
Watching as time ticked away, Nina Hogan prepared to go backstage to help Janet get ready.
Humming, Nina walked happily to the backstage area and called out, “Janet, the ceremony is about to start. Get ready to go on stage. You can go up after you change your clothes and get your script.”
Janet nodded, then walked into the dressing room with the dress that she had brought from the classroom.
After changing outfits, Janet practiced her speech one more time. But, naturally, she already had every word of the speech memorized.
A moment later, Nina was outside the dressing room urging her again. “Janet, are you ready? You’re needed on stage in another twenty minutes.”
“I’m ready.” Janet walked out, crumpling the script and tossing it into the trash can.
The moment Nina saw Janet, her eyes did a double-take.
How could a simple dress elevate Janet’s appearance so much?
Plus, her figure complimented every detail of the dress.
Nina gave a small smile. “It looks good!”
Janet frowned, but she said nothing.
After saying that, Nina went behind Janet to adjust her belt.
However, before she reached Janet, she realized that the waistline of the dress had loosened. All it took was for Janet to lift her legs before the entire dress would come loose.
When the time came, it would undoubtedly be an embarrassing moment!
Nina was shocked. “Janet, did you notice this?”
Janet nodded faintly.
She noticed it when she walked out of the dressing room.
When she got it yesterday, it was still in good condition!
At this moment, Robert’s assistant walked over.
She looked at Nina and Janet, who were frozen to the spot, and asked, “What happened? Too nervous or can’t remember the script?”
Janet pursed her lips and remained silent.
The assistant took one glance at the time and said, “If everything’s fine, let’s get going as soon as possible. We don’t have much time.”
Nina stepped forward and spoke up. “There’s a problem with the dress. I’m afraid she can’t wear the dress on stage.”
“What?” The assistant exclaimed in shock. “Wasn’t it still in good condition when we picked it up from the warehouse yesterday?”
How could there be a problem after just leaving it for one night?
Janet remembered that Summer didn’t touch it after helping her place it in the cabinet.
And Summer didn’t seem like someone who would destroy her belongings.
Obviously, someone had had their eyes on her from early on.
The assistant looked at Janet’s dress and found that the thread of the waistline was almost completely unraveled. If she made a slightly larger action, the dress might split open. There were thousands of students offstage, so it would definitely embarrass her greatly.
“Do I have to wear this dress on stage?” Janet asked, her voice calm and void of panic.
The assistant was silent for a few seconds. “It’s a rule, but we have no choice now that the dress is spoiled! Forget it; you can change back to your original clothes.”
