Meanwhile, Selena was wearing her brand’s high-end gown outside the stage.
When she appeared, she instantly attracted the cameras’ attention.
The competition would be broadcasted live. Hence, the production team wouldn’t tolerate any mistakes.
Also, they allowed the audience to vote through an online poll.
However, the ultimate decision was still up to Selena. She would pick the top five contestants before the audience would vote for who they thought was the best designer.
After Selena’s fashion show was over, the host stepped onto the stage.
Once the opening speech was delivered, the music played, and the male model of the first designer entered the stage.
Before the competition started, the director told the models to amble on stage to increase the voting time.”
After the model completed his walk, the designer would be summoned on stage to receive Selena’s
comments.
Meanwhile, Christina had called Francis hundreds of times, but he still didn’t pick up the phone. He’s not playing a trick on me at this crucial moment, right? He should know how important this competition is to me…. Ugh, I feel like I’m standing on a razor’s edge.
As she hugged the shirt she designed silently, she felt a sense of helplessness that she never experienced bombarding her.
The music continued to play while the designers made their appearances on stage one by one. Just as she thought she had run out of time, a tall figure barged into the room.
Francis bolted toward Christina, panting and sweating. “I’m sorry I’m late!”
He didn’t seem well, looking as if he had just completed a marathon.
At that moment, Christina snapped back to reality. Of course, she was furious.
She was eager to scold him, questioning him where he was and why he was late.
However, she resisted the urge to do so because she cared much more about the competition.
A starry look swirled in her eyes. “You’re not late. Just change into this quickly.”
Christina stuffed the shirt she had prepared into Francis hand. “Change your pants in the dressing room first.”
Upon ending her sentence, she went looking for a makeup artist. However, since the competition had started, all the backstage crew had already left.
Thus, she returned to the room without locating anyone she needed.
After Francis changed his pants, he noticed a few scars on the checkered design. Before he could ask Christina about it, she leaned toward his face. “All the makeup artists have left, so I’ll apply them for you
She received plenty of makeup training during her time at Radiant Corporation. Additionally, Francis was already attractive, so she applied cosmetics on him based on the effect she had in mind.
In the end, she removed a limited-edition lipstick from her bag and applied it to his lips. “Perfect. It’s showtime.”
-The second last team had already entered the stage. Therefore, it was Francis’ turn next.
