Chapter 204 She Hoped She Did Not Make the Wrong Judgment
Everyone''s eyes fell on Aryan, including students who had passed by and the contestants from other
team. After the live broadcast of the contest yesterday, anyone from Skyler and Bentson University who
was interested inics would know Aryan who was a legendary drawer. Now that Aryan did not be
with those from September Drawing Club but joining Nina''s studio instead, it was like kicking the ser
ball into one''s own goalpost at the moment of scoring a goal. Yet whenpared to September
Drawing Club, Nina''s studio was indeed more powerful and there was way more space for
improvement. Therefore it was decent for a talented person to follow Nina.
Everyone had wanted to ask the same question as Emily did. They were staring at Aryan waiting for his
final answer, yet he did not utter a word when he faced them. Instead, he suddenly extended his hand
and put his arm around Nina''s waist. What was his rtionship with Nina? The answer was baffling but
certain. They had been together and he had made it clear without speaking a word. Aryan did not care
other''s look and he walked to the spectator''s site while holding Nina. Nina did not have to participate in
today''s coloring category but to only watch the contest. Both of them walked towards the spectator''s
site and sat down under pairs of surprised and even shocked eyes. Many workers of the studio were
following behind them as if protecting the queen and her man. It was certainly unnecessary to give
extra exnations seeing that.
Rufus and Sally were dispirited and Emily patted both of their shoulders after heaving a sigh.
"Everybody has their own ambition. Don''t think about it anymore. Calm down and focus on dealing with
the contest afterwards.” She grabbed Sally''s shoulder and said with a serious look, "You must stay
calm. Don''t think too much. There would always be a way, okay?” Sally clenched her fist, took a deep
breath and nodded hard. "Alright. I''ll not disappoint you, and I''ll definitely not let others make fun of us!”
She shot a fierce re at Aryan who was at the spectator''s site yet he did not give her a single nce.
Still biting her lip, she said with a straight face, "Our September Drawing Club would not be defeated
that easily! We can certainly do it! So there''s no point to be anxious, we need only to do our best.”
Emily gave her a light push and said, "Go on, Joe''s waiting for you.” Sally could only try her best to
regain herposure and she followed Lois with Joe for registration.
Emily returned to the spectator''s site and went to the right side as Nina''s team was at the left. Terry sat
beside her and both Lois and Rufus returned and sat at the same row. "Have the rules for tomorrow''s
contest been released?” Emily asked. "Not yet.” Lois replied with little grievance. "The rules for the
contest this time are made a bit mysterious and I suspect they would be announced afterwards on
scene.”
"It''s okay. Everybody needs to abide to the same rules after all. There''s no need to be scared.” She
could not help but nce at the other side of the spectator''s site once more. Aryan was watching the
arena below with Nina. He looked no different than how he used to be. He was still expressionless and
did not like to talk. He only nodded to show he was listening when Nina was analyzing the situation of
the contest asionally.
"If this is his choice, as a captain, you should actually give him blessing.” Terry lowered his head and
looked at Emily. He never said these kinds of gentle and kind words before. Yet his words seemed to
make sense this time. Emily smiled lightly and nodded. "Sure. I''ll give him blessing.” She hoped she did
not make the wrong judgment…

Thepetition in the afternoon was still fierce. Sally''s emotion fluctuated a little at first but she started
to get into her stride after half an hour. Sally and Joe had only managed toplete the sixty grids
during thest minute and when they returned to the spectator''s site, Sally''s limbs were cold and sweat
was all over her face and forehead. "I was really nervous!” She could finally heave a sigh of relief after
all the panic. "The judges say they would announce the result sooner so we''ll only leave after that.”
Lois told them the information she got just now. Emily spoke when Sally and Joe sat down. "I''ll get you
some water.” And Terry followed her without speaking another word.
The wait was a bit long as time was still needed for discussion of the result. Therefore it was impossible
to announce the result before spending twenty or thirty minutes. Some people had grown impatient with
the wait and left. Emily and Terry met Nina who had juste out of the hall when they were carrying
two bags of mineral water bottles during their return. "You guys could definitely make into the final and
it''s meaningless to wait inside.” Nina grabbed Aryan''s arm and smiled, ncing at Emily.
"Is Miss Marsh that confident of our work?” Emily replied with a false smile. Nina spoke but she was
looking at the boy beside her. "No. I''m confident of his skills.” How could they not pass the test as long
as theypleted it when it was Raphael''s work? She had never seen any drawer that was more
brilliant than him in theic world. Now that he had returned to her side, September Drawing Club''s
sess would only end this afternoon. "It''s a group contest tomorrow. Do you have a lead drawer?
Miss Gale. If you don''t, I could lend you one.” She smiled but her words were sincere without a sense
of mocking.
"You really want to lend me?” Emily indeed needed a lead drawer. "Sure, as long as Miss Gale is willing
to trust me.”
"Then could you lend me Aryan? I''ll return him to you after the contest finishes.” Emily replied with a
serious look and did not seem to joke at all. Nina slightly pulled a long face and only said after a while,
"He hasn''t signed the contract with us yet, therefore he''s not counted as one of us.” Therefore it was
impossible for her to borrow Raphael and she did not go against her words. "I''m sorry, Miss Gale.
Maybe you could pick another one?”
"It''s okay. I still have something to deal with. Bye.” Emily glimpsed at Aryan. She suddenly gave him a
nd smile and left. Nina was surprised that she could still have such a carefree smile yet she quickly
disregarded it. Maybe the future bossdy of the Gale family did have an ace up her sleeve. As long as
she was willing to spend money, she could appoint anyone to be the lead drawer. Yet their
opponents in the contest this time were the university students of Bentson City and she could noty
her eyes on any of those immature, unknown drawers.
"Do I have to take part tomorrow?” Aryan asked her after Emily left. "No.” Nina gazed at the sky and
her smile was full of confidence. As long as Raphael did not take part, she did not care about anyone
from the team. "You need only to stay at the spectator''s site and watch me conquering this whole thing
carefully.”
