Eden also took a look at Dulcie. She was wearing a dark blue dress. The clever tailoring flattered her nice figure. With curly hair, she looked elegant and young.
Dulcie's eyes were provocative, but Eden only glanced at her blandly.
Dulcie sneered with disdain. There was going to be a good show.
Eden looked around and did not see Darlene.
Darlene said that she would come, so she had been paying attention to the whole hall. The competition was about to start, but she hadn't seen Darlene.
Zaiden had something to do, so he would come in a while.
"Eden, what's wrong?" Looking at her uneasy face, Victor was a little worried.
Eden shook her head slightly, "I'm fine. I just think it's noisy because there are so many people here."
Victor raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, "The competition is about to start."
"Yeah!" Eden nodded slightly.
The judges had taken their seats, and Eden saw Tiana.
Tiana seemed to have sensed her gaze and suddenly smiled at her.
Eden had a nastier feeling in heart.
Sounds of voices and commotion could be heard. The advertisements of various fashion brands and fashion shows were played on the big TV.
The cameras in the reporter's hands clicked away, giving out dazzling light.
The noisy environment made Eden a little upset and vexed. She felt a tightness in the chest, and she was not as relaxed and joyful as she was when she first came here.
She had to get some fresh air.
"Victor, I'll go backstage." She was a little disturbed.
Victor said, "I'll go with you."
"Good."
After Eden told Jaida and Aisling about it, she went backstage with Victor.
Sean and Margery were busy.
At the same time, the model of the first group had stepped onto the stage.
The exciting music sounded with the appearance of the models.
"Mr. Alwynn, Director Bleu, you're here." Alyssa greeted them.
Victor glanced at her with sharp eyes and did not speak.
Eden nodded slightly, "Is everything ready?"
Alyssa smiled and nodded, "The models are ready. Mr. Oakley is touching up their foundation. We're in group forty-two."
Eden asked, "What about Z.S. Company?"
"Group forty-one."
Eden frowned slightly. How could it be so coincidental? Why was Alwynn Group behind Z.S. Company?
"What's wrong? Director Bleu, you don't look well." Alyssa asked worriedly and glanced at Danielle beside her. Danielle lowered her head and did not speak.
"It's okay. Just do your own work." Eden looked at her and smiled. Looking at the busy backstage, she felt a little agitated.
These days, she always felt suffocated, as if there was a tightness in her chest. Sometimes, she would break out in cold sweat. She knew that it was because she had been too busy.
Victor looked at her, and her face was really pale.
He said softly, "Eden, you don't look well. Are you not feeling well?"
Eden frowned slightly and looked at him, "Maybe I've been too busy recently, and I don't have a good rest. I'll have a rest. Call me when our models go on the stage."
Eden felt that she had to calm down. She felt very uncomfortable in heart.
Danielle nodded with a smile, "I came here because I want to thank you for letting me work in the company and giving me a stable life. Thank you!"
Danielle thanked her with a smile, but Eden couldn't see any sincerity in her eyes.
"In order to meet me by chance, you put in a lot of effort, didn't you?" Eden looked at her quietly. At that time, Danielle's jeans were whitish from much washing, and her white shirt and shoes were cheap. But at this time, she was wearing stylish clothes and expensive high heels. She had really changed.
Danielle looked extremely embarrassed and looked at Eden nervously.
Eden came straight to the point, which made her somewhat nervous.
"Director Bleu, what did you say? I..."
"Don't you understand?" Eden interrupted her. The khaki coat slipped out of her shoulders. She wrapped herself with it more tightly, trying to feel warmer. At the same time, she saw Danielle's awkward expression.
Eden leaned back to make herself feel more comfortable, "Danielle, I thought you would benefit from them, but I didn't expect that you couldn't get to the final."
Danielle gritted her teeth and lowered her head without saying anything.
"I can understand a poor person, but I don't know much about someone who is left without a shred of self-esteem." Hearing Eden's words, Danielle suddenly look up at her.
Eden sat there lazily with her hands in her coat.
Although she looked innocent and gentle, Danielle felt awkward and depressed.
"Director Bleu, just say what you mean." Danielle didn't want to be humiliated by her, and she wanted to salvage her pride.
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. Since you came here to say those words to me, it means that you're ready to quit the job, right?"
Danielle was stunned and nodded. She was too ashamed to stay in the company, and something terrible would happen later... She had to leave.
Before she left, she came here for no reason, and she wanted to see Eden.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried, Victor would not be attracted by her. She could only leave like this. She did not want to gain nothing in the end, just like those stupid women.
She had no courage. The money she had earned was enough for her to live a good life in the future.
But at this moment, she regretted coming to see Eden.
