Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 239

The young woman’s dress had undergone a style transformation. The lower part of the dress took on a mermaid-tail shape, made from folded wine-red curtain cloth, while the upper part was revamped into a strapless design with added embellishments.

Her elegance had been changed into seductive charm.

Selena was delighted. “I love your design. The victor of the night shall be Christina Steele!”

Of course, if there were winners, there would be losers. Five designers had been asked to quit the competition teams.

All designers present were stylistic individuals. Some felt that Christina’s design was great, but others felt that it was just average. Still, no one was going to refute Selena’s choice.

One would think that it was a simple gathering, but as it turned out, it was a trap.

Selena asked the designers to introduce themselves.

“Hello, everyone, I’m Margaret Lester, a designer.”

“My name is Nancy Sallis, and I believe in my capabilities. You’ll have to do your best during the competition because I’m wonderful at my job. You might end up losing to me.” Right as the two introduced themselves, they both turned to look at a specific someone.

Christina noticed that their gazes had landed on her.

Both Margaret and Nancy were the apprentices of a famous designer named Zele. They were also Christina’s schoolmates, but they were on opposite sides.

Christina’s master was Laurel Shaw, a reputable designer.

Coincidentally, Laurel and Zele were archenemies, and Christina had witnessed firsthand the animosity Laurel and Zele had for each other.

Therefore, if the two met again, Christina was certain that Laurel and Zele would definitely compete against each other in the shadows.

After the event, Christina returned to her room to rest despite her growling stomach.

The next morning, the phone rang, and its ringtone woke her.

Once she picked up the call, she heard her master cry out, “Christina, I heard you bumped into Zele’s apprentices. Did you?”

“Ms. Shaw, aren’t you supposed to be in Bellridge? How did you know what happened on my side?” Christina queried as she stretched.

Laurel confidently continued, “Of course I’d know. I have my ways! You have to take this opportunity to crush those two and avenge me!”

Christina paid much attention to the news of the fashion industry, and she had found out a long while ago that her competitive master had started another fight overseas.

“I’ll do my best and won’t let you down.”

Laurel had discovered Christina’s talent just as Christina started her course, so Laurel had been patiently guiding her all this while. Christina felt that she was lucky, too. Other than having a competitive streak, Laurel was a great master.

When Laurel needed to head overseas for her activities, she had invited Christina along. Alas, Christina rejected her because she was worried about leaving her mother alone.

“As expected of my apprentice. I’ve sent you some wonderful tools, so I’ll be waiting for your good news!”

There was a gleeful smile on Laurel’s face. How could she not be delighted at the thought of how her apprentice was going to avenge her?

“Of course, Ms. Shaw.”

By the time the call ended, Christina was fully awake. After getting out of bed, Christina led Rayne downstairs for breakfast.

Rayne was meticulous as she took photos of Christina. “Ms. Steele, I’ll take more photos of you to upload on your social media account. I need to update your profile more frequently so that more people will discover you.”

“Okay, I’ll leave these to you.” Christina was too lazy to update her own social media account. Most of the time, she would enter the application just to read the news.

Rayne worked hard. She took a lot of photos of Christina, and she was careful when she wrote the captions for Christina.
