Chapter 75 On the Day of the Competition
Manuel waved his hand to refuse Ainsley and walked into the kitchen. The decoction was ready. Manuel poured it into a bowl and brought it out.
“It’s warm. I added a lot of water in it, and you have to drink it all.”
Ainsley looked at the bowl, which was bigger than her face. “It is too much.”
Manuel even brought the pot out, and inside it was another bowl of decoction.
“For the sake of your health.” Manuel put on a gentle smile.
Ainsley was helpless. She bit the bullet and drank it with a spoon. When she looked up, she met Manuel’s eyes and felt ill at ease.
“Mr. Gage, it’s late. You should go back and rest.” Ainsley did not want Manuel to watch her drink so much decoction.
This time, Manuel did not refuse. “Remember to finish it.
After that, he left.
The decoction was particularly bitter, and Ainsley struggled to swallow it. Thinking that there was still so much, she did not want to drink it at all.
However, when she put down the spoon, her mind was filled with Manuel’s tall and straight figure and bright eyes. He said to her, “Remember to finish it.”
Ainsley drank some more, and it didn’t seem bitter anymore.
On the day of the competition, Mollie’s appearance caused a storm. The school board invited many reporters to wait for her at the entrance.
When Mollie appeared, Ainsley, with a dozen students, led Mollie into the auditorium.
On the other side of the auditorium, the contestants were all waiting.
Serina saw Kaitlin. Kaitlin took the lead to say, “Serina, you have a good relationship with Ainsley. Did she tell you something about the competition? Why don’t you share it with us?”
Kaitlin’s words attracted many people’s attention. Serina glared at her angrily. “Ainsley is not like someone who only knows how to curry favor with the rich and powerful people.”
“Serina, I treat you well all the time, but you only favor Ainsley. In this competition, I will surpass you, unless you cheat with the help of Ainsley!” Kaitlin said confidently.
“Why are you so confident? Usually, I don’t see you putting much effort into your studies. Moreover, I am not the only one participating in the competition. There are still so many top
students.” Serina glared at Kaitlin and turned to ignore her.
Kaitlin’s gaze rested on the judges’ table, and Ainsley was busy there. Kaitlin said to herself, this time, I must let Ainsley see who is the focus!
Mr. Gage will also come, and he will see me take the first place!
The Student Union had arranged the largest hall for the competition. The judges were sitting in the center. The seat on the left side of the principal was for Mollie.
And the seat closest to the stage was for Manuel.
As the sponsor of the competition and the honored guest, he needed to show up. Ainsley had arranged his seat last night.
More than two hundred sets of tables and chairs were on the stage. All the contestants were sitting in their seats and handed over their mobile phones and unrelated items.
A total of eight judges were also ready.
After the host introduced the judges, it was time for Raymond to make a speech.
A student from the planning department suddenly walked to Ainsley and said in a panic, “Ms. Easton, things didn’t go well.”
“What’s wrong?” Ainsley’s heart ***a beat.
“Please come with me.”
