Hesper nodded and didn’t hold back with her compliments. “I followed the Duval Competition and I
remember you very well. You’re talented and have your own ideas. I was rooting for you.”
Hearing that, Celine smiled bashfully and showed a deep dimple. “Thank you, but I’m not that good or I
wouldn’t have been eliminated so soon.”
Hesper wanted to say something but there was a commotion in front. Hesper and Celine’s conversation
was cut short as they looked up and saw Michelle.
“Michelle?”
Hesper wasn’t expecting that at all and couldn’t help but frown. “What is she doing here?”
In comparison, Celine was much calmer as if Michelle hadn’t bullied her. “The Duval competition
ended, so I guess she has time to join this one.”
But she already won that one and made a name and brand for herself. Now if she joined this
competition, it would look… terrible.
Hesper was like Celine. She didn’t give a huge reaction when Michelle suddenly showed up. She just
thought that Michelle shouldn’t have joined because the Lane Competition wouldn’t be as lenient as the
Duvals’.
Michelle wouldn’t get good results this time.
The front part of the bus was hyped because of her appearance. Hesper and Celine minded their own
business and stopped talking.
The competition venue that Lane Holding chose was a small town between Genecity and Salt City. It
had a clean environment and was famous for its livability. It was a tourist city that had green buildings
and ancient ones.
It was the perfect place to inspire creativity.
“The Lanes really are rich.”
After everyone got off the bus, they looked at the venue, which took a few days to build, and were
astonished.
Hesper was part of this project but by the time it came to the details, she was already out of it. Matthew
took over the decision-making, so she was surprised too.
Inspired by the Duvals, this competition also had a reality show part to it. Since the hype from the Duval
Competition was still ongoing, a lot of people who never knew much about the industry started getting
interested. When the Lanes took over, it was great to grab everyone’s attention.
Celine’s luggage was slightly bigger than Hesper’s, but since she got on the bus earlier, it was at the
bottom of the pile and it took her a long time before getting it.
“There’s a shuttle bus later. Let’s rest here.”
Hesper looked at Celine’s petite frame and pulled her over. “The air here is really fresh. Genecity could
never compare.”
Celine nodded. “My hometown’s air is fresh too. Genecity is too developed.”
“That’s true,” Hesper and Celine talked for a while. Celine was a shy person and Hesper wasn’t Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
talkative, but she couldn’t help but have a full conversations with her.
Michelle kept her eyes on them both. She was annoyed to see the two people she hated bonding with
each other.
“Since when does Hesper know Celine…” Michelle rolled her eyes when no one was watching, but she
didn’t know that the cameras were already rolling.
Hesper thought that something was off, so she checked her watch. They had been there for a few
minutes but no one was there to get them.
Based on the efficiency of the company, five minutes was too long and this wasn’t something that
would happen, especially not at a competition as important as this.
So… Was it intentional?
