Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 241

Francis had always gone with the sexy style, as was apt, considering his strongest point was his good looks.”

Changing his style is going to be easier said than done.

Exhausted from all the thinking, Christina fell asleep. The whole night, she kept dreaming of Nathaniel, either of him walking out of the bathroom after taking a shower or him looking all elegant in a suit.

Her wonderful dream was eventually disrupted by her morning alarmi

They were going to start working on their outfits today. In order to get more footage, the director invited some of the participants to do an interview on the first floor of the mansion.

Margaret, Nancy, and two other designers were talking about their daily lives and where they usually drew inspiration from.

Anyone who was in the industry knew that their words meant nothing. Inspiration was something that no one was able to express properly.

Christina immediately headed to the studio after breakfast. To prevent plagiarism, each tailor station was hidden from view by wooden panels. Apart from the public area, no one knew what everyone else was doing.

Christina drew several designs but was still unsatisfied with them. Ultimately, she combined all the elements she had been thinking about and finally came up with a draft she was happy with.

Now that she had a concrete idea, she could begin working on it.

When Christina went to select the fabrics, she realized that they were merely of ordinary quality.

Everyone else who came after her also realized the same thing.

Logically, Selena wouldn’t provide them with fabrics of such low quality.

Just then, the director announced through the broadcast system that all designers were to gather on the first floor of the mansion..

Amidst their confusion, the designers shuffled to the first floor and saw that the living room was filled with the highest quality fabric one could get along with all kinds of beautiful

gemstones.

All these materials would help them take their designs to the next level.

“Designers, I’m sure all of you have already noticed that the fabrics in the tailor room are not up to par. Now, you’ll be playing a game. The winning team will get to choose their fabrics first, and the losers will have to make do with the leftovers.”

Isn’t this a proper fashion design competition? Why does it feel like we’re in a variety show?

No one was willing to participate in such a ridiculous game, but if they refused, they wouldn’t be able to get the fabrics.

Only a designer would know how important the quality of the material was to the outfit.

The director continued, “Now, please form into groups of two. Once you’re done, go to the courtyard and wait for the game to begin!”

With that, the staff members all left the house and started to set up.

Margaret and Nancy immediately paired up with each other and went out.

The remaining participants started to look for partners as well, with the taller ones being favored as they

were able to run faster.

Standing at a hundred and sixty-two centimeters, Christina was not considered tall and thus was quickly.

left out.

On the other side of the living room, some of the participants were fighting over their partners. One woman-an influencer-pushed a man to the ground and spat, “How are you even going to take part in the race with that low stamina of yours? Don’t go making a fool of yourself by huffing and panting after running a few steps.”

The man stood up and retorted, “She already agreed to team up with me, yet here you are, screaming at me after snatching my partner.”

With single eyelids, a tall nose, and thin lips, he wasn’t very good-looking, but he carried himself pretty

well.

There had been several male participants at the start of the competition, but they had been eliminated over the last few rounds, leaving him the only one.

Hence, the female participants ostracized him.

“It’s utterly humiliating to have a graduate from an unknown college like you compete with those of us who attended the most prestigious design schools!”

“I’ll make sure you get eliminated in this round!”

They say that segregation is bound to happen when humans gather. Well, that saying is true.

Those female designers were graduates from prestigious fashion design schools, so it was natural that they looked down on those who were not.

However, proclaiming that they were superior to others was a clear sign of their vanity.

Having the capability was what mattered most.

Christina approached the man and tugged on his arm. “We can be partners if you don’t mind.”
