As soon as the male colleague finished his words, the ones next to him echoed him and started to jeer.
"That's right. Nancy looks quite conservative at ordinary times. I didn't expect her body figure to be so good."
"Yeah. Her boobs look quite large-sized. And she has a good ass."
"Why didn't she come to find me? I'll satisfy her when if she comes to me."
Two men were saying vulgar words.
I, who couldn't stand their words anymore, got up and walked to the table where they were sitting, saying, "Someone surely set her up with this matter. There must be a monitor in this resort. When we find out who it is, that one can only wait to go to jail!"
After that, I glanced at them and saw that they all had a gloomy expression on their faces.
I couldn't figure out who had done it for a moment.
But I suspected Mabel.
Back then, when the name list of the second
round of the design competition was announced, she and Nancy were the most favored ones by everyone.
This time, Nancy quit the game. As long as Mabel didn't make any mistakes, she basically could hold the championship firmly in her hands.
Naturally, the bonus would be in her hands as well.
I wasn't in the mood for lunch either.
So I casually took a few mouthfuls of food and went back to the room.
I turned on the computer and sorted all the things that Nancy had instructed me last night into documents.
Then I began to think about my own work again.
Yesterday, Nancy had told me that the main purpose of the task this time was not to show off the design skills but to design a practical work.
Last but not least, the design work should be practical.
It should have something new about it.
That was the most important thing.
But at the same time, it was also the most difficult thing about this task.
I thought about it over and over again, wondering whether I should refer to my work of the second round and design a family room.
I carried out my thought right away.
I started to draw a draft. And I had been busy until 2 o'clock in the evening.
It wasn't until I lay on the bed and intended to fall asleep that I remembered that I was so busy that I hadn't gone to the bathroom.
I didn't bother to turn on the light. Then I went to the bathroom in the darkness. Because I walked too fast. My legs hit against the corner of the table. And I took a deep breath in pain.
I turned on the lights.
Somewhere on my fair thigh became bruised.
I frowned and looked at the bruise. And an innovative idea about my design flashed through my mind right away.
That was, I could make a room for the disabled!
I didn't go on sleeping. Instead, I turned on the light and began to draw the draft again. At that moment, I couldn't be more inspired. It took me more than four hours to finish drawing the draft.
By the time, it had almost been dawn.
I, who didn't have the energy to eat breakfast anymore, directly went to bed.
By the time I woke up again, it had been in the afternoon.
I washed up. When it was dinner time, I went to the dining hall and left after dinner.
I didn't meet Mabel and others.
There was only one week to go before the deadline of the draft was hit.
I went back to my room and went on working on my design. It probably was because of the quiet night that I was very focused at night.
By the time I looked up again, it had been three or four o'clock in the morning.
I always went to bed at this time for several days in a row.
On the night when there were three days away from the deadline of the draft, I worked on the design until early in the morning as usual.
When I was concentrated on making a 3D model in front of the computer, I suddenly felt that I was shrouded by a black shadow.
Before I realized it, the next second, someone picked me up and threw me on the bed!
I looked over...
"What are you doing?"
It was Patrick.
Patrick was dressed in pajamas. And his hair was softly attached to his face. He stood in front of the bed and looked down at me as his face was full of anger, "Go to sleep."
"I'm going to sleep in a minute."
At this time, the half-made model was all over my mind.
I was thinking about what should I do in this step and what to do next.
