Quit!
Hearing that, Sophie seemed to be stimulated and suddenly stood up, shaking her head in a rush, "No, I won't quit from the competition, I am determined not to quit!"
She had managed to get into this competition and memorized so many designs, in order to get a better ranking, so that Stanley would know that Violet wasn't the only one who could design, she could too, so she was also worthy of him, and he would, by then, definitely be impressed with herself.
So she could never back out of the competition, and if she did, all the hard work she had done would be for nothing.
"Are you sure you don't want to quit from the competition?" Aimee narrowed her eyes.
Sophie nodded, "I'm sure."
Aimee shrugged her shoulders, "In that case, sit down and continue the game, I hope you won't regret it later."
With that, she put the microphone down.
Sophie sat down anxiously again, her heart beating like thunder, and she also had a vague feeling of something bad.
What did that mentor mean she won't regret it later?
For some reason, she always felt like there was something in that mentor's words, as if she was reminding her of something and mocking her.
Was it her illusion?
Sophie glanced up towards the judges' table and shook her head slightly as she watched Aimee was writing something down.
Probably she was overthinking it, it should be that this mentor was concerned that she would be nervous and not be able to perform in all the later rounds and that was why she was asked to quit from the competition.
Thinking, Sophie put her head back down and went back to trying to figure out how to draw a design that fit this theme.
The moment she put her head just down, Aimee approached Violet beside her, "Violet, do you think this Sophie is a stupid person? I even gave her the chance to avoid losing her reputation, and she didn't even cherish it."
Violet gave her a blank look, "Your opportunity is unknown, who would understand it? So instead of saying that you were giving her a chance, you might as well say that you were deliberately planting a seed of doubt in her heart, so that she would frequently road out of the game afterwards."
Aimee smiled, "Haha, it's still you understand me."
"Alright, stop talking, keep watching these designers and see if there are any problems with the others besides Sophie." Violet said with a serious expression.
The day before, when she and Aimee both checked the profiles of these contestants in the study, many of them were too simple and not well known, so they didn't know the strength of this part of the contestants, let alone if they entered like Sophie.
Hearing Violet's words, Aimee also got serious and stopped snickering and started secretly observing these contestants.
About two hours later, the first round of group play had ended.
The staff collected all of the contestants' designs and took them to all of the judges on the panel.
Offstage, Sophie's two hands were clasped tightly together, her ten fingers picking at each other, showing how nervous and unsettled she was inside.
Next to her, the contestant she was close to came over, "Sophie, what do you think of your design?"
Sophie lowered her eyelids and forced a smile, "I ...... I feel okay, I guess."
To be honest, she had absolutely no confidence and her heart was empty.
She didn't know what to call a design that fit the theme of 'night', so she had no choice but to blend together some designs she had jotted down, draw a dress, and paint it black, and turn it in.
The good thing was that this was the first round of group matches and would not be eliminated, so she would have to fight..
If she would have been eliminated, she might have actually been eliminated.
But this competition today had also taught her she had to dictate the theme.
