Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 257

The truth was many others were confused by how a homeless woman could dance ballet too, but since the competition had not ended, they decided to keep their questions for later.

Finally, it was Benjamin’s model’s turn.

With a jacket over an open–neck sweater wrapped around his strapping body, the model strode down the aisle with his long legs, giving off an assertive vibe.

On a closer look, one could not help but realize that the man had exceptional features which made him look mixed–race..

In fact, no one would have guessed the man was homeless if no one had told them about it.

This went to show how well a job the designer did in revamping everyone’s impression.

Now that every participant had showcased their work, the audience began casting their votes.

However, their votes accounted only for half of the overall score since Selena’s vote contributed to another fifty percent of the final result.

As the voting session took place, all the designers assembled backstage while they waited for the results.

At first, everyone seemed relieved that the presentation was over and was chatting about how staggered they were initially by their models.

However, everyone became edgy as time passed. The competition had yet to end, and the results were about to be revealed.

Having worked with each other over the past month, the designers had mixed feelings about parting. They had come a long way from not liking one another at first sight.

But regardless, all of them wanted to leave the program as the winner.

They began guessing who would emerge as the champion. Given how Margaret’s model had completely changed people’s first impressions, the designers believed that Margaret could be the winner.

As for Nancy, everyone thought things could have been better if not for the earlier fallout between her and the model. Repulsed by her model, Nancy had earlier refused to go too close to the beggar when she was altering her clothes, so she ended up pricking the model a few times with her scissors.

Feeling offended, the model did not cooperate with Nancy and simply walked half–heartedly down the runway, which upset Nancy beyond measure.

Faced with that thorny situation, Nancy had made up her mind that she would appeal the results if she did not end up being top three.

“There’s no point guessing, guys. Christina will turn out to be the winner for sure. Didn’t you guys see how nice Ms. Selena was toward her?”

“We did. We all got some homeless people as models, but she got a ballerina!”

“I know, right? What’s the point of this competition? Ms. Selena should have just given her the prize.”

Those snarky comments were uttered loudly so Christina could hear them clearly from another side.

She felt hurt when she heard their remarks, but her phone kept ringing as new messages flooded in, distracting her from the sour comments.

Who is it? Don’t tell me it’s just some spam messages.

She realized Nathaniel had been bombarding her with messages.

Nathaniel: Is it cold there? Don’t catch a cold.

Nathaniel: Should I go and get you now? I can host a competition here in Jadeborough if you want to attend one. Why do you have to go all the way there? What if you get into trouble?

Nathaniel: Are you eating well?

Nathaniel: I saw you on the live stream. Remember to take a water break even if you’re busy.

Nathaniel: I’m picking you up after the competition.

Nathaniel: Wait for me.

Christina felt a weight on her heart when she read his messages. Toward the end, a tear dropped on her phone screen without her even realizing it.

What? That sissy got second place?
