Aimee gave her a look and said in a hurry, "Fine, fine, I'll answer it now, don't rush me, my hands will shake when you rush me, what if I drop the phone later?"
"Okay, I won't rush you." Violet said with a smile.
Aimee smiled, "That's right."
As the words left her mouth, she put the phone to her ear and answered the call.
Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Aimee's expression suddenly froze and her whole body sat on the sofa, motionless and rigid.
Seeing her like this, Violet's heart thudded with some bad premonition.
Did they lose?
Why else would she look like that?
If she had won, she should have been excited and cheering, but instead she looked dazed, which was so unpleasant to watch that it was easy to think that she had lost.
However, Violet did not immediately open her mouth to ask questions, as the call had not yet ended.
She clenched her palms and stared intently at Aimee, her heart lifting high and unable to fall back into place.
After a while, the call seemed to end.
Aimee slowly took the phone off her ear.
But her expression sentence was still as dull as ever, and her eyes were dull as well, looking ahead without stirring.
Violet couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed her wrist and asked, "Aimee, what's going on? Is it about the result?"
Aimee's eyes flickered for a moment when she heard Violet's voice, and finally there was a movement.
She slowly turned her neck to look at Violet, and at Violet's eager gaze, slowly nodded her head, indicating that the phone call was, indeed, about the result.
After confirming her suspicions, Violet's did not sigh with relief, but became even more nervous.
After all, it's about the result, and with Aimee looking the way she did just now, it would suggest that what she just thought could also be right.
She and Aimee lost and did not get the champion.
When she thought of this, Violet only felt her body go cold, and her mouth moved, but no sound came out for a long time.
She had always thought that she and Aimee would win.
She wanted the opportunity to design a dress for the World Games so badly, but she missed it.
For a moment, Violet's face turned pale, her gaze became confused, and her upright and straight back suddenly bent down at this moment, lost in thought.
Just when Violet's eyes were flooded with heat and she wanted to shed some tears, Aimee, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Violet."
"Yes?" Violet looked down and wiped the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, forced down the loss in her heart, squeezed out a smile and responded reluctantly, "What?"
Aimee looked at her for several seconds before the corners of her mouth suddenly lifted, "We won."
"What?" Violet froze.
Aimee grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook them excitedly, "Violet, we won, we're the champions, we got the World Games dress design slot, Violet!"
Hearing this, Violet froze, as if in some disbelief.
After a while, she finally slowed down, pupils slightly dilated, eyes also widened, grabbed Aimee's shoulders, her voice trembling, asked, "What did you just say? We ...... won?"
Her voice was not only shaky, but also hoarse, a stiffening condition that occurred when her voice changed from lost to excited all at once.
