    Winning wasn’t really important now that it was the finals.


    Hesper and Celine held hands. The results would be decided by a hundred professional designers.


    through voting, and everything would be kept secret. Other than the designers and models, no one


    knew which dress was designed by whom.


    This was the fairest way that Hesper coulde up with. There were four designers in the finals,


    including her. Shawn and her were linked to Lane Holdings, Celine was her friend, and there was a


    newbie designer who went through a lot of hard work to get where they were.


    Even though Hesper wanted to win and get a chance to learn from Roberto, she didn’t want to use her


    influence to win. The theme of the finals was ‘Love’.


    Hesper hadn’t lived a long life, but she felt that she had a lot of experience when it came to love and


    hate. She knew that love could not be forced. This theme was the best thing she hade up with.


    As for the results…


    Hesper looked up. The lights were like millions of stars shining into her eyes.


    Everyone was moved by the ocean in her eyes at that moment.


    Roberto sat in the judges’ panel and looked at her. His initial impression of her was just


    Nathaniel’s future wife’, but after the journey, he realized that she was someone with unique ideas. She


    had a lot of room for improvement, but she had the talent for it.


    The other designers might not be able to tell which design belonged to Hesper, but he knew her style,


    so he was able to link each design to the designer.


    Hesper would win.


    The votes were soon tallied. Hesper was nervous a while ago, but now that she saw the host holding


    onto the results, she felt calm.


    Renfrew and Myriade held hands and waited. Ernest put on his reading sses and waited eagerly for


    the results.

    Hesper looked down the stage and saw a familiar silhouette. She was stunned when she saw Rickard


    standing in the corner. Their eyes met.


    He was back?


    “The winner of thispetition is… Hesper Rivera!”

    Rickard nodded and Hesper drew her eyes back. Her eyes turned red.


    She never thought about this, but no matter how well she did, she was never good enough for


    Rickard. No matter how much she did, Rickard would never be proud of her.


    She once threw all her love and pride out the window for Rickard.


    “Congrattions, Ms. Rivera.”


    2/2


    The prize was handed out by Roberto. Even though she had met him before, it was just from afar.


    Standing this close to him, even next to him, was something she would never even dream about. “You


    did very well. Even though I first knew you because of Mr. Tucker, in the past two months, you’ve


    changed my mind.” Roberto took over the mic. His blue eyes were warm. “Will you be my protégé? I


    want to see you go far in the industry.”


    Hesper paused, then nodded. “I do! I’ve always admired your work and bing your protégé is a


    dream.”


    Roberto looked at her speechless then nodded. His expression wasplicated, but it finally turned


    into sorrow. “You remind me of my wife when she was younger. She was from Halwanest and was a


    designer too.”


    Hesper’s eyes grew wide. She never knew that Roberto was married and that his wife was


    Halwanese!


    Looking at his expression, Hesper thought that something sad might have happened, but since they


    were on stage, she didn’t pry.
