Fortunately, as soon as her foot slipped into the shoe, she felt the pain, so she didn't press down fully. Otherwise, it might have been enough to bring tears streaming down her face from the agony.
Keira Leaf picked up the other shoe. On the sole was the same paperclip, but the heel showed clear signs of being tampered with, evident from several distinct cuts.
Keira Leaf packed the two shoes into a bag and threw them into the trash can without saying a word.
Soon, a pair of new shoes was delivered. The director quickly spoke, "I personally checked these. There's absolutely no issue."
Keira Leaf glanced at the shoes. It was obvious they were the same style as the previous pair, but while the heels on the earlier pair were about ten centimeters high, this new pair was roughly seven centimeters.
Keira Leaf wiped her hands, switched to the new shoes, and walked straight out from backstage. The timing was just right; any further delay would have made her late.
