Chapter 414 Acceptance
A few people began to head toward the workroom. Those who stayed in the bedrooms saw Jean leave and sneered, “See, I knew she would be kicked out of the room. She committed plagiarism. How dare she show up for this competition?”
“One does wonder what kind of luck she has to be in the same group as Sean.” “I heard Sean broke up with Layla. Is it true?”
“I don’t think they were ever together.” Jean was tired of hearing the gossip. She quickened her footsteps and headed to the workroom.
She pushed open the door and was instantly greeted with a light wood scent. The room was spacious. There was a single bed tucked in a corner. As it had no windows, lamps were its only source of light.
Still, it had a large workstation and was fully equipped with tools, fabric, and cutters. There were seven to eight kinds of scissors alone. It was also complete with accessories. There was jewelry of gold, silver, and pearls.
Jean smiled. “It’s the workroom of my dreams.”
At this moment, cameras in various rooms were activated.
What the contestants did in the workrooms and bedrooms would be broadcasted live. As this was an amateur competition, there were few viewers.
Yet, a certain man had started watching the broadcast and did not hesitate to put all his schedule aside.
At this moment, Edgar was seated in his office and staring at his computer screen.
Miles stood beside him, alternating between looking at the screen and his boss before saying, “Mr. Royden, Ms. Summer will be here soon.”
Edgar grunted distractedly and gave no other response.
“About the collaboration with Pinnacle Group…”
Before Miles could finish his question, he noticed Edgar frowning and glaring at the screen.
It turned out Sean was taking the fruit the staff had sent to his room to Jean.
Edgar’s brow tensed with dissatisfaction.
What made him even angrier was that Jean accepted it readily.
Furthermore, they even began talking about recent works in the design field and became engrossed in the conversation.
“I’m quite surprised that you differ from what the news says.” Sean’s brow softened with a touch of gentleness. He had always been a friendly guy. Being a designer allowed him to make friends with people easily.
He came here to show some friendliness. After all, Jean volunteered to leave and let them have the bedroom.
Jean replied, “Mr. Regan, you are brilliant, as the rumors say.”
Sean raised his eyebrows and asked, “We have just met. How do you know I’m brilliant?”
The staff noticed them chatting for a long time and immediately zoomed in on them.
After some adjustment, the camera focused on Jean’s beautiful face. She considered briefly and answered, “You are the youngest winner of the Halston Design Award and the only winner of the Odell Prize from our continent. How can you not be brilliant?”
Sean’s eyes flickered slightly.
“You are very specific with your compliments.”
Many people would praise Sean for his achievements, but none was as sincere about it as Jean.
Due to this, Sean suddenly had a thought. “This field is not as simple as you think. You will gradually come to understand.”
What does he mean?
Before Jean had time to ponder it, he had already left the room.
Meanwhile, the audience watching the live broadcast rushed to comment that there was no animosity when Jean and Sean were together. Instead, it felt like they were watching a romance variety show.
Some even commented. ‘I want to see romance blossom among the designers!’
The staff soon received orders from the director to give longer screen time to Jean and Sean.
Meanwhile, an important guest came to Kalel’s studio and requested to be made a special judge for the competition.
