    Millie smiled brightly at her. “Actually, | am.”


    “That’s impossible!” Nancy hissed.


    Blinking, Millie rested her chin on her palm.


    “Why do you look so anxious? Are you worried you''ll lose? Don’t be. Your ne is very impressive,” Millie said, and she


    actually meant it.


    Nancy stifled her anxiety, reminding herself that she had never lost a singlepetition before. She would win again this time;


    she was sure of it.


    Gnashing her teeth, she dered, “I''ll win thispetition. My work is better than yours.”


    The judges were still examining the nes, but it was clear that most of them were intrigued by Millie''s Light in the Dark.


    Unable to sit still any longer, Nancy got to her feet and walked up to Marcus. She stopped a few inches from him and called ina


    hushed tone, “Mr. Thomas.”


    Currently, Marcus was musing over Millie. He was impressed with her unexpectedly great performance. At first, he thought she

    She did not know how to tell him that she might lose.


    Her pride prevented her from saying so.


    In the end, she forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing. I''ll go back to my seat now and wait for the result.” With that, she returned


    to her seat and sat back down.


    Laurel grabbed Humphrey’s hand and tugged at it.


    She asked grumpily, “Humphrey, why are the judges only examining Millie’s ne? Nancy’s work is far more beautiful than


    hers!”


    She really wanted Nancy to defeat Millie.


    Humphrey pressed his lips into a thin line, a helpless expression on his face.


    He then said, “Let’s just wait for the result instead of getting anxious.”


    No one had said it out loud, but it was clear that although Nancy’s ne was stunning, it paled inparison to Millie’s.
