Chapter 912 You’re Still Alive?
After half a month of fervent preparations, the designers’ competition, which was jointly held by Cittadel and Yveltalia, finally took place.
Audiences and reporters from both countries had gathered together at the venue. The event was the talk of the town now.
The competition was set to start at 10.00AM. At 9.00AM, Alexander, along with his team, met Raffle and handed in the proposal for review.
Raffle skimmed through the proposal and tossed it away. He then mocked Alexander in a weird tone for not appreciating his favor. “Look, in the end, it’s in my hands. Why did you even stall for time and make things difficult for both of us?”
They had previously launched an inspection at Smith Co.’s headquarters. Besides breaking into the company’s intranet, Wendy’s people had also installed surveillance cameras in some hidden places. They had already found out about the details of the proposal, so nothing was surprising about it now.
Now, they were just going through the process and letting Smith Co. take part in the competition as a representative for Cittadel. Although Raffle wanted to get his revenge, he didn’t intend to expose himself so soon since everything was well under his control. After all, the organization did not have enough money and energy to nurture a new Minister of Commerce.
Although he was unable to stop Alexander, he deliberately stalled for time to make him anxious.
However, Alexander didn’t respond to him at all. He stood there with an expressionless face just like a robot, and there wasn’t even a hint of emotion behind his gaze.
Raffle was disappointed as his attempt to infuriate the man was futile. He could only give up and stamp the form with a seal to let them take part in the competition.
As he held out the form, he still tried to sustain the false sense of harmony between them by saying, “You’re still young, so I won’t settle the score with you. We’ll inevitably come into contact again. I’ll forget about the grudges between us, and I hope you’ll start restraining yourself, Mr. Griffith. We can still be friends.”
Alexander forcefully pulled the form from him and spoke in a dispassionate and distant voice. “I’m sorry. I’m not interested in being your friend. See you.”
With that, he turned around and left with his team.
Wendy and the others thought that they were on the winning side after stealing the proposal, and they even had the intention of making Alexander side with them. Nevertheless, they had no idea that everything was under the latter’s control.
Soon, they would regret letting him take part in the competition so easily.
Raffle dismissed Alexander’s pride. After they left his lounge, he phoned Wendy.
“I’ve looked into the matter. Alexander’s plan hasn’t changed. It’s just like what we’d obtained.”
“I’m sure you know what to do.”
“Don’t worry. Smith Co.’s team will come after yours.”
“Great.”
After hanging up the call, Wendy turned to look at the room’s door. “A long time has passed. Aren’t you ready yet?”
The moment she finished speaking, an alluring woman stepped out of the room.
The woman was clad in a shiny, puffy dress. As she approached Wendy, she lifted the hem of the dress and performed a curtsy to her. “I’m ready to take action now.”
Wendy examined the woman with her shrewd-looking eyes. “Tell me. Who are you?”
The woman put on a confident smile. “Amy.”
…
As special guests, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana had gone backstage early on to motivate the candidates.
