A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 

Celine was the runner-up. Even though she wasn’t the winner, that still surprised her. She lost in the Duval competition and was ready to give up on her design dream. 

Her mother had a large medical bill. She couldn’t spend time taking care of her, so when her situation turned dire, she might need to hire a hospice to take care of her… All that required a lot 

of money. 

When she was feeling lost, she saw the Lane competition. 

Celine promised herself that if she didn’t make a name for herself this time, she would give up on her dreams and accept reality. 

She was glad she won something. 

“Congratulations, Hesper.” Celine looked at her. She knew that if not for her, she wouldn’t have gotten as much attention. 

If it wasn’t because of how fair Lane Holdings was, she would not have been where she was now. 

Hesper saw that Celine was going to cry, so she went over and hugged her. 

“We have a long way to go, but we’re friends now, aren’t we?” Hesper rested her chin on Celine’s shoulder. “Don’t forget that I’m here to help you if you need it. Even though I can’t promise you anything else, I know that I have money.” 

Celine chuckled. 

Everyone’s eyes were filled with stars that night. 

“Thank you, my little rich friend.” My lucky star too.

Lighting up a cigarette in the night breeze, Rickard had taken a day off. He came over alone and didn’t wait till the after-party. He went there just to see the moment Hesper was crowned the 

winner. 

When Hesper followed him around in the past, he never noticed how outstanding she was. 

The light of the cigarette burned in the night. Rickard just held it, and after a long pause, someone took it away from him from behind. 

“…Hesper?” 

Hesper put it out and tossed it into the trash can. The makeup she put on for the finals made her look gentle and beautiful under the moonlight. “You came all the way here to smoke?” 

Rickard didn’t know what to say. Hesper looked down as her hair whipped around in the wind.
