She saw two feminine like figure and a masculine one ,she took a deep breath and moved closer to the microphone.She kept her breath steady as she waited for the interlock before singing .
The podium lights turned on now she could see their faces ,she took a closer look at the only male there .
"She was sure she had seen him somewhere then she remembered,He was the one back at the rehearsal space no wonder he walked with an air of authority.
"That's was an outstanding performance , Sophia well done,now you just have to practice with the dance crew again and we're set for tomorrow" Jane said going over a couple of papers as she spoke.Sophy rendered her appreciation and excused herself from the stage .
"Nice one Sophy "The stage hand said as he raised his hands for a high five while Sophy chalantly played along .
"Sophy over here " One of her fellow colleagues signaled when She (Sophia) was back at the rehearsal room .
"How's it going? " another one said when she approached them .
"It's a lucky day for me l guess" .She replied smiling happily .
"Sure it is with that enchanting voice of yours ".One of the dancers said.
"Hey don't tell me you're hitting on her already ".
The first one said .
"Well at least l have a chance, don't l Sophy ? The dancer asked .
"Sure you do ".She sarcastically said .
"You heard her "
"You guys aren't that bad though "She said
"Except the dude in black"
One of the singers said referring to the dancer .
"Miss Sophia,you've got a visitor ". The stage hand said popping just his head out through the entrance of the door .
"Visitor?" Sophy said standing .
