Chapter 59
Vanessa and Lisa got up from their seats and ran towards Evelyn. Collen, who was closest to Evelyn, already took her in his arms.
He pushed to the floor all the stuff on his table and laid her there.
“Did she faint out of tiredness or because of your news?” Vanessa asked with a serious face.
“It could be either or both. But now’s not the time to debate. Lisa, please come over!” he said in a hurried tone.
Lisa walked to Collen after her scepter had re-appeared in her hand.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Can you heal anyone other than yourself yet? I’m sorry for tasking you.” he asked in anxiousness.
“Nope! Besides, she’s only fainted, not dying. Let her rest for sometime and she’ll wake up. I’m off to start my lessons. Bye!” Lisa turned around to leave.
“You…” he pointed at her, having no words to say.
At this moment, Evelyn suddenly opened her eyes and changed into her fairy form.
She looked at Lisa, who had stopped in her tracks, then at Vanessa and finally Collen.
She flew around him slowly for a short while and unexpectedly started dancing around him, her hands occasionally touching his shoulders.
He was flabbergasted but soon caught her hand and began to dance with her-a wild, passionate dance!
Lisa face palmed in contrast to an excited Vanessa who thought that this couple-to-be was indeed a match.
Collen had changed to his warrior fairy form again, and both continued their dance in mid-air.
“I accept…” Evelyn muttered, and he was about to burst with excitement, but her next words poured cold water on him.
“I accept not. I am not ready to get into a relationship. I don’t want a mate like you.” she declared.
“What?” Collen was shocked that he stopped holding her hand. His wings lost the strength to flutter, and he crashed to the ground in sorrow.
“Why? Why will you not accept me? Am I too ugly for your taste? Or you think I’m gonna maltreat you when we get joined by the fairy rules? Evelyn…”
“I just don’t want this mate thing. I don’t believe we are inseparable!” Evelyn landed and transformed back to human.
“I’m sorry, I refuse!” she whispered and turned to Vanessa and Lisa. “I’m not ready for such a thing!”
“How… how about we make a deal? One month! One month trial. Let me coach you professionally, no strings attached. After that, you make a decision.” Collen was determined to win her.
“One month? Every day?”
“Twice a week!” Collen offered.
Evelyn then shrugged.
“Ok! I’m learning pole dance. Vanessa, Lisa, what are your choices?”
“Tango!”
“Belly dance!”
They replied in unison.
“Vanessa, that’s unexpected! The bunny wanna go wild?” Evelyn chuckled in amusement.
“That’ll will take long. Mum is hopeless. Her body is so stiff. You don’t know how many times I wished to find a hole to hide in earlier when she performed her wild dance. It was really eye-opening. Great job, mama!” said Lisa casually.
“You… how can you throw my dignity in the mud?” Vanessa’s eyes nearly fell out.
“Bye, I’m gonna dance and refresh my mind from that arrogant skunk.” Lisa’s scepter disappeared, and she left the office, slamming the door shut.
“Eh… I might as well go too. Mr Collen, make sure to teach her well. I’m counting on ya.” Vanessa winked and left too.
Now there were just two of them.
Evelyn transform back to human and sat in one of the chairs.
Collen returned to normal too and patted the creases on his clothes as he got up.
“Well, miss Evelyn Azandis, let me see your level.” he returned to his seat and adjusted his glasses.
“Hmph! Do you even need to see more after the dance we performed?” she spat.
“Work-related matters are what we should discuss. I need to access your stats before we plan out a schedule and tactic. Miss, please…” he pointed to the stage with a deadpan face.
“Hmph… Whatever!” she stood up and did 6 backflips to get to the stage.
She stood steadily on the stage, made her hair into a neat, single ponytail and held the pole with her other hand on her waist.
She hugged the pole and gave it a kiss, staining it with her red lipstick.
She suddenly cast a seductive, wild look at Collen.
She beckoned him with her fingers and blew air into them.
Collen folded his arms and watched her with a stony face.
Evelyn faced him with her back view and parted her legs and bent her body.

Lisa finally arrived at the hall for beginner belly dancers. She knocked on the large double doors and it opened by itself.
She lazily walked in and the door closed behind her.
She saw that the hall was wide and there were 15 trainees of different ages. The oldest was in her early 30s. A 40-year-old has no right to get in here.
The trainer was telling each one how to better expose their charm to the audience.
“You can’t just dance for dancing’s sake. Tell a story with your facial expressions, show a world with your body, overwhelm them with your charm, your presence, but don’t force-feed them your passion. Make them willing to eat the passion fruit. Their eyes need to stick to you as a person…” the trainer (who wore a black sports bra and white harem pants with a red dangling coins hip scarf tied around her waist) was interrupted suddenly by a sharp, sweet voice.
“Hello, Ma’am! Hello, other people! I’m new here. The name’s Lisa. Lisa Reynolds.” she introduced and stretched out her right hand intending to shake hands with the trainer.
“You are welcome. I’m miss Sherley Morgan.” the trainer regained her composure and shook Lisa’s hand. Although it looked like a friendly handshake, she was applying force; wanting to teach this kid a lesson. But unexpectedly, she almost had her bones broken. Her face turned pale and some beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“Woah, you really know how to shake well. Did you have practice?” she managed to speak with a forced smile.
Lisa innocently shook her head.
“I love to shake people’s hands. Eh, can I tell you something?”
Sherley squatted and Lisa whispered:
“Miss Sherley, I honestly think it’d be better if you clear your thoughts of evil. Who knows, I can just wish you to POOF along with your family? I’m a Reynolds after all. Don’t make me mad next time. Just look how ugly you’ve become from a simple handshake. How pitiful you are!” Lisa smiled and retracted her hand.
She then went to greet the others, who were amazed at Lisa’s beauty and liveliness.
They introduced themselves, and the trainer walked to Lisa.
“Hun, let’s go choose an outfit for you.” she said sweetly.
“Oh thanks, Miss Sherley. You are so kind.” Lisa said happily.
“Not a sweat. You are a blooming flower too; you must be pampered always.” Sherley said with a chuckle.
“Alright! Let’s go. I can’t wait to see what will fit me well.” Lisa took her hand and dragged her along.
Sherley couldn’t resist. This little princess was basically hulk in baby form. What is she eating?
“You guys continue practising. No one is allowed a moment to slack off. My hidden camera isn’t for decoration.” Sherley warned the trainees before leaving with the little bun.
