After an evening of enjoying and relieving themselves, the four returned to the hotel a little past nine that night—tired but lighter. The outing had done its job. Everyone laughed, teased, and forgot about the competition for a few hours. It almost felt normal again.
In the hallway before they went to their rooms, Dayo stopped them.
"Alright, everyone. We've done what we can. Tomorrow isn't just about performing; it's about doing what we all love and trained for. So rest well, okay? We go again in the morning."
Tyrell stretched his arms, pretending to yawn, then saluted. "Yes boss, we have heard you."
Maya and Emily both giggled, enjoying the show between them.
Dayo just looked at the unserious Tyrell and the ladies before shaking his head. "You all have a nice rest."
Almost as planned, the trio shouted, "Yes boss!"
"...."
Speechless, Dayo just walked to his room, not minding them as they laughed at him. Then he heard their voices.
