Chapter 335


    Apart from testing the sensitivity of a designer, it also tested observational skills and attention to details.


    This meant the tform provided after thepetition was much better.


    Ste looked around and she met another pair of eyes suddenly.


    ''..."


    "Why are you here?" She whispered.


    rence rested his arm behind her chair and raised his eyebrows. "Did I not tell you that the Conrad


    Group is the main sponsor of this contest?"


    That wretched man did it calctedly.


    And the presenter''s voice was heard from the stage.


    They changed the rules suddenly and invited a few wealthydies from City N as the judges. Their


    points would be counted into ten per cent of the overall points for each contestant.


    Thesedies were surrounded by jewellery since young, they each had a high standard for jewellery.


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Ste looked in the direction of the presenter''s and smiled.


    Great, she felt that this newly added rule was a barricade to her because she saw Phoebe and Aurora


    amongst the line ups of the wealthydies.


    A window was opened for her but shut all the other ways out.


    It was quite adventurous.


    Clearance followed her sight and knew her worries. "Your designs are acknowledged by the organizer.


    That is why they sent you an invitation. Even if they lower your marks intentionally, it will not affect you


    much, on top of that, I''m here."


    Ste remained smiling, "Why do you think they will intentionally lower my marks?"


    rence said casually, "They are jealous of your beauty."


    Ste, "..."


    That wretched man was a master in the art of thick-skinned.


    The first round was set on two dayster, and the theme would be announced tomorrow night.


    A small cocktail party was held after the announcement of rules. Most of the designers were busy


    greeting the judges, trying to make a good impression.


    All the judges were well-known people in the jewellery field, even if they lost thepetition, at least


    they made an impression or received a contact.


    It was all about profit gained behind all these greetings.


    Ste wanted to leave right away but considering that she was invited by the organizer, she stayed and


    went forward to thank them.


    The person in charge of the contest representing the organizer was Louis. He was in a conversation


    with other judges when Ste approached him.


    Ste stopped and without waiting for her to initiate the greeting, Louis came forward and greeted her


    in English. "You are Ms. Radomil, right? You look as gorgeous as in the photo."


    Ste didn''t expect him to remember her, she smiled and replied in English. "Thank you for inviting me


    over for this contest, it''s my pleasure."


    "Not a problem." Louis said while looking at the man behind. "If Mr. Conrad hadn''t shown me your


    designs, I would have missed the chance to meet a talented and creative designer like you. I''m looking


    forward to your works."


    Louis said while nodded at rence.


    Ste looked over and saw him raising his eyebrows at her.


    After a brief chat with Louis, Ste pulled rence aside and asked. "Are you the reason for my


    invitation to this contest?"


    rence took two sses of champagne and handed her a ss. "I''ve only shown him your designs,


    he was the one who decided to invite you."


    Ste knew that even the wretched man didn''t express it, but he felt guilty for her loss in the new


    designer''s contestst time.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t make excuses and provide support to her while she was still in SG Jewellery.


    Although everyone including her thought he did it for Vivian.


    Ste thought for a while and asked, "Could this be the third gift for our anniversary?"


    rence smiled lightly and took a sip of the champagne. "How possible?"


    He paused, looked at Ste and said seductively, "Looking forward to it?"


    Ste felt uneasy being stared at, she immediately avoided and let out a cough, "No… I''m just curious."


    That wretched man said he wanted to get her all three gifts for their anniversary.


    He had given her a gift for the first and second year but the third one hadn''t arrived.


    "No hurry, I''m still preparing it, it''s a gift that you''ll like," rence said.


    Ste doubted, "Are you sure?"


    rence leaned towards her and whispered in her ear.


    Ste blushed in an instant and covered his lips with her hands, "Shut up!"


    The wretched man behaved improperly in the public!


    rence''s lips lifted and kissed her hand.


    Ste blushed even harder and immediately pulled back her hand, her arm felt numb.


    At this moment, Stanford came with a ss of alcohol in his hand, "Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil."


    Since Ste left SG Jewellery, she had not met Stanford for quite some time, she waved and smiled,


    "Mr. Leif."


    rence was upset with her smile.


    She smiled the same way when she saw Horace, Emmett, Stanford and the others.


    But she had never smile like that to him.


    rence stood in front of Ste and blocked his vision without letting him speak.


    Stanford, "?"


    Ste noticed his action and moved aside while putting the champagne ss on the table. She


    continued chatting with Stanford.


    That wretched man was so narrow-hearted. He imed that she was always jealous but he was the


    biggest jealous person in the world.


    rence pressed his lips slightly to show his dissatisfaction.


    In the meantime, Nathan approached. "Mr. Conrad, Louis invited you over to discuss the arrangement


    after the contest."


    rence replied by a nod, looked at Ste and said, "Wait for me here."


    Stanford''s face stiffened once he left. "Do you know that Modesty is in this contest too?"


    Ste nodded lightly, "I saw her just now."


    Stanford lowered his voice, "I''ve just found out about that, and one of the judges is her


    teacher."
