Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 546

"So, does this mean I did it?" Lucy asked, barely containing her excitement.

"Yes," Matthew replied, and his simple answer made Lucy's heart soar. She had passed the challenge set by Matthew and Hudson.

"Really? You're not just saying that because you like my work, are you?"

Matthew cracked a smile. "I do play favorites... but not when it comes to this. Hudson and I both agreed, so no, there were no special favors."

Lucy was so overjoyed she could not find the words. She flopped back onto her bed. Gazing at her design drafts, her mind raced with possibilities.

"Guess what? There was actually a secret judge this time," Matthew said with a twinkle in his eye. "Want to know who it was?"

"Who was it?"

Lucy peered at Matthew, sensing she might know that mystery judge.

Matthew decided to spill the beans. "It's Koven."

"Koven? How could he..."

"Koven's buddies with Hudson, so when he heard I was putting your name forward as the designer, Koven chose to put you to the test himself. All those extra things we asked for? Those were his ideas."

"That makes sense..."

Lucy had been halfway through her design when Matthew scrapped it. She thought they just did not like her work and that was why she had to start from scratch. She did not realize they wanted to add special touches.
