Finally the song came to an end . During the concluding part of her dance, Jayne went in swirls along the entire stage leaving Katherine Bradford totally dumbfounded on the stage .
Though she looked like she was panicking outside, her resentment grew in her like a tumour which ultimately took the form of extreme hostility . She had lost her "Queen of the University" image in front of the entire university . How would she tolerate losing her face! It was the greatest humiliating of her entire life!
Inwardly she was seething and trembling with rage . Then and there she swore that she"ll avenge Jayne Roy for everything, even if she"ll have to lose her all in this process . Especially after so much, she was in no way going to back down . She went so cold with fury that she wanted to kill Jayne right away .
They both quickly bowed to the crowd and exited towards the backstage .
Jayne was the first to speak up . She suddenly stopped walking, turned around and looked at Katherine Bradford who was catching up from behind . "So do you accept your defeat now? Like we"d decided earlier, I fought with you fair and square . So, as agreed, you are never going to cross paths with me anymore! I hope you"ll live up to your words . "
Though Jayne wasn"t very hostile towards Katherine Bradford, she made sure to make herself clear and draw boundaries between them .
Katherine Bradford began spilling crocodile tears at once . "Jayne Roy! I totally misunderstood you . If possible, please forgive me for all that I"ve done . Allow me to correct myself…" She extended her hands in Jayne Roy"s direction .
Though Jayne didn"t immediately accept her apology, she nevertheless didn"t want to continue this fight any longer . After all, they still had to stay together for a couple of years in the University before completion of their degree .
"Let me be frank . I can"t be friends with you Katherine Bradford . But then, I don"t even want to prolong this fight anymore either . So, let"s just stay in peace!" Jayne said that and gracefully walked away to change .
Katherine Bradford"s hands, which she had earlier extended to Jaye, were still hanging in the air . She furiously balled her fists and dug her fingernails so deep that it was about to bleed . She then stomped her foot and walked away to her dressing room to change, "Jayne Roy! Arghh!"
Daniel West who was carefully guarding Jayne, witnessed the entire incident .
Even Emma Dalton was with Daniel West at that time . She felt something was fishy . Especially a tear-filled apology from someone like Katherine Bradford .
She frowned . "I"m sure this Katherine Bradford is up to something . Jayne Roy isn"t fully safe yet!" She cautioned Daniel West .
"I know!" Daniel West agreed while contemplating on the incident .
Back in Katherine Bradford"s dressing room, she gulped down a bottle of water to calm herself . She took a deep breath and reminded herself, "Kate! After so much, you can"t be spoiling this by your own anger . You"ve to be patient . Let"s get to work now…" She hissed .
She quickly changed into a simple white cotton dress with no makeup appearing to look all innocent and guilty . She checked herself one last time and came out of the room .
She walked towards Jayne"s room once again when Daniel West and Emma Dalton were in the middle of their discussion .
They were immediately alerted by Katherine Bradford"s suspicious moves . They began trailing her slowly .
Katherine Bradford was so consumed by her anger that she didn"t pay attention to Daniel West and Emma Dalton tailing her . She patiently waited for Jayne to come out .
A few minutes later, Jayne came out wearing a Mickey-mouse sweatshirt and slim fit jeans . Her hair was tied in a bun . Her tote slung alongside her arm . She didn"t have any makeup on . Yet, she looked so stunning .
"Hey! What are you doing here!" Jayne was surprised to see Katherine Bradford standing at her door with her head hung low .
What surprised her even more was, she had totally dressed down unlike her usual self who would put heavy layers of makeup . Above all, even her dress was too modest .
It was also rare to see her so pale . Even her eyes glistened . She looked truly apologetic, "Jayne Roy, please accept my apologies . " She once again held Jayne"s hands . Tears rolled down her eyes .
"Katherine Bradford, you don"t have to do this . Let"s not take this any further . " Jayne uttered scratching her nose .
"If that"s the case then, I"ll be hosting a party on Sat.u.r.day as a gesture of friendship and peace between us . Please, do come . Let"s have a drink and bury the hatchet . " Katherine Bradford pleaded to Jayne Roy with tear filled puppy eyes .
