Chapter 102
Those who didn’t make it were also occupied. Some were researching about the trip to Bellador, while others quietly watched videos or took classes. None of them paid any attention to division two,
“They’re really treating this matter too lightly. They’re not taking us seriously at all!” “Exactly. They act like they’ve already won. They must think they’re so amazing.” “They are amazing. They went to that Bamford Co. training. We can’t compare to that.”
Their chatter grew louder as if they were trying to provoke division one.
Angela could hear them through her headphones, but she just ignored them.
Soon, Callum arrived with his assistant, holding a stack of design submissions.
Everyone’s hopes rose at once.
“Please put aside what you’re doing. We have the voting results,” Callum said with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor.
Angela lifted her head, feeling a little nervous.
“First place has 65 votes,” Callum announced with a note of approval in his voice.
That entry appeared on the big screen.
Someone from division two let out a cheer. “That’s mine! It’s mine!”
People clapped immediately, thrilled about the result.
Angela’s side clapped politely as well.
“Everyone, take a close look and learn from it,” Angela said as their leader. She couldn’t afford to slip up at a moment like this.
They all went quiet, wearing mixed expressions.
“This one has 55 votes,” Callum said again.
Once more, it turned out to be someone from division two. “It’s mine. Thank you for your approval, Mr. Snowden.”
A few people in division one couldn’t hide a quiet sigh.
Angela still clapped, not showing any emotion.
“Aren’t they supposed to be so great? Why are they so quiet now?”

“Right. They’re embarrassing themselves.”
“I wonder how they can even sit here. They’re all just trash.”
They were whispering and mocking division one. Their voices were barely audible, as they didn’t dare speak too loudly.
“Next up, 54 votes,” Callum went on. He cast Angela a subtle glance, smiling faintly. “This belongs to Clara. I recognize her distinct style.”
Clara offered a polite nod. “Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Snowden.”
“Fourth place,” Callum said, revealing it to be from division one.
Everyone was surprised. The score was now tied.
Fifth place also went to division one. People in division two began to mutter in displeasure.
Sixth and seventh places both turned out to be from division one. The number of votes they garnered was very close, making it a tight competition.
Division two was starting to lose it. The score was five to two, with three spots left. If they couldn’t catch up, they’d be in trouble.
