Chapter 121
The farce finally came to an end. Even though the competition had turned into a bit of a joke by now, the results still had to be announced.
Initially. Yvonne had the highest score, with Kaylee ranking eleventh. But now, with Yvonne disqualified, everyone else moved up a spot, making Kaylee the tenth.
When Kaylee received her certificate from Howell, her hands were trembling so much that she nearly couldn’t hold 6th it
Knowing she was a classmate of Flora, Howell softened his tone considerably. “You’re very talented. Keep it up, I hope to work with you one day.
His voice was loud enough for the other designers on stage to hear. Their expressions all changed.
Did Howell mean he wanted to recruit Kaylee to the Rose design team?
Kaylee was overwhelmed by the honor, barely able to string her words together.
Flora watched Kaylee’s glowing face on stage, a slight smile playing on her lips. The young girl indeed had talent. She was worth considering for recruitment.
After the ceremony, there was no need for Flora and her company to stay for the group photo with all the contestants and judges. Linking arms with Raul on her left and Henrik on her right, she left through a side door.
Connor followed closely behind them, with Ray walking shoulder to shoulder next to him.
Teo, Louie, Queen Algria, and many other influential figures quickly followed suit.
Outside, the crowd was still massive, but the police kept order with cordons every few steps, so it wasn’t too chaotic. Still, it was a sea of heads as far as the eye could see.
Teo, all smiles, said, “Flora, you must visit the design institute when you get the chance. I have a meeting to attend now, so I’ll be heading off.”
Flora nodded in acknowledgment.
“Flora, I’ll be going too. I’ll come to see you when you’re free.” Queen Algria had come with a favor to ask Flora, but it was not the right time to discuss it.
After saying her piece, Queen Algria left with her entourage of bodyguards.
Flora then turned to Louie as if to say, why haven’t you left yet?
“Flora, when did you get a fiancé?” Louie adjusted his glasses, his eyes scrutinizing Connor.
“I’ve always had one.”
“Does Rafael know about this?”
Flora nodded emotionlessly.
“It’s rare for him not to make a fuss.” Louie chuckled with a meaningful smile.
“I’ve got a competition abroad to attend to, so I’ll be going.”
Louie didn’t show the same hostility towards Connor that Rafael did. If Flora wanted to date, let her. It was just a bit of excitement in
life.
The man in question was no ordinary individual, and Flora was not someone to be easily manipulated.
Raul and Henrik calmly watched them leave, their faces composed but their hearts turbulent.
Their Flora knew so many influential people. And she had somehow joined the Rose design team without making any fuss about it. so, they were relieved and proud. Raul and Henrik were astonished but even
Who would dare say Flora was incompetent now?
Flora wondered how to explain this to them, thinking they would ask questions. But to her surprise, Raul and Henrik simply smiled at her, asking what she wanted to eat later.
“Our Flora has become so impressive, we must celebrate.”
“Do you want to eat at home, or go out?”
“I want to eat at home.” Flora said with a beaming smile, “I want Dad’s barbecue ribs.”
“Alright, then let’s head home.” Raul responded cheerfully, delighted that his daughter wanted to eat his cooking.
“Dad, let’s invite Connor to join us.” Flora held Connor’s hand, her tone playfully coy.
