“Emily, what should we do, whose name to write in the column of the main painter’s name? I or Joe?”
Seeing the other teams going to sign in one by one and it would be their turn soon, Sally had butterflies in her stomach.
This problem, even if one tried to avoid, now, it was at the point where they could not avoid it anymore.
“It’s fine, let’s go there first.” Emily still did not say any solution but just looked at the reception table.
Sally stamped her foot in anxiety, “Emily…”
“Hey, how are you guys? Still haven’t found a new main painter?” Nina’s team came over.
Looking at the participants of the team, no new person was joining in. Where was the main painter? Perhaps this person did not exist.
She laughed faintly, “Oh, I’m so sorry, I poached the main painter of your team at the very last minute…Eh, not really, he did not sign a contract with me after all.”
“He does not want to stay in your team anymore. It‘s a bit too bad for you all.”
“Is it?” Emily did not bother her provocative words at all.
Instead, she asked with a smile, “Didn’t you encounter some troubles when you met Flora last night?”
“That crazy dog!” Nina’s face darkened when she heard that name.
Subconsciously, she touched her arm. There were still injuries on it. These were the scratches caused by Flora.
That crazy dog unexpectedly caused her to have several blood scratches on the street!
“Haha.” Emily’s smile still looked like nothing did matter to her, “It seems like she had given you a big shock too.”
“Lunatic!”
Nina disliked her smile very much. She even had an urge to tear Emily’s curling lips from her face.
This ugly and unattractive woman was like a clown in front of her but she still could smile so confidently.
As if this woman did not care about her at all.
Where did she get her confidence from? What made her so confident?
A smile like this could even make her feel pressured somehow!
Nina did not know what was going on with her as she was quite nervous to face the ugly monster, Emily.
She kept feeling that Emily must have a backup plan as she smiled so confidently.
But now, what backup plan could she have? It was already a dead end!
Nina secretly adjusted her breathing and completely did not know what she was nervous about.
She scornfully said, “Loser, you are not eligible to talk to me. If you don’t want to sign in, please get out of my way.”
“Step aside!” Several team members immediately shouted exuberantly.
“We have to sign in too, why should we let you go first?” Sally coldly harrumphed.
However, surprisingly, Emily pulled her and said with a smile, “Let them go first. Anyway, it won’t affect the result of the competition.”
“That’s right. Since you guys are going to lose anyway, it doesn’t make any difference if you sign in or not.”
Nina’s team members, one by one, scoffed sarcastically.
“Without Aryan, you guys are trash, how can you guys compete with others? Better quit the competition!”
Sally was pulled away by Joe while Lois was also pulled back by Rufus.
Otherwise, two of them would definitely quarrel with Nina’s team as they spoke so nastily.
Finally, the first four teams had all signed in. It was going to be their turn.
Sally looked at Emily and thought that Emily would really have an ultimate plan, but they were already about to sign in and the team still did not have the main painter.
Emily walked to the reception table with others in the group.
Flora’s and Nina’s team had returned to their team’s rest area respectively. When they looked at Emily’s team, two of them did not know whether to feel pitiful or funny.
Emily’s team really did not hire a new main painter yet.
Emily was indeed a fool. She just needed to spend some money so that she could hire someone, why did not she do so?
Even if the newly hired main painter could not settle down as a team with them, it was still better than nothing.
Now, like this, how could they compete with others when the team was not even complete?
“Emily…” The playwright and the people involved in outlining and colouring had already signed in but the column for the main painter was still empty.
