I hadn’t turned around yet, but I had already guessed.
I turned to see a group of people surrounding Sean.
There were seven or eight bodyguards in black behind him.
In addition, there was a young man in a grey suit with curly hair carrying a suitcase.
This was a new face.
I thought he was here to send us, so I didn’t move.
Last time, Sean announced my relationship with him. Several managers knew that. They talked with Sean for a while. One of them said, “does President Jessop have anything else to tell Miss Carter? Let’s go there for security first.”
They all left after he finished.
It was just me and Sean and his bodyguards here.
I turned to leave. I heard Sean say behind me, “it’s no use hiding. I will go with you.”
“…”
I looked back and looked at Sean suspiciously.”President Jessop, are you free? It’s just a little design competition.”
“Well, I’m quite free.”
Sean admitted.
I was speechless.
“OK. I’m busy. I have to leave first.”
I was a little angry when I saw Sean.
I took my suitcase to change my boarding pass. I knew we were going to a tourist city in the south.
When I got on the plane, I found that the whole first-class cabin was chartered by Sean.
The bodyguards were sitting nearby. Sean was sitting with the young man.
When I went to economy class, I heard people around me talking about Sean.
He usually took a private plane. He only took a regular plane once in a while.
There were only seven finalists on the plane.
We sat in the same row.
My position was by the window. Next to me sat a woman a little older than me.
She was wearing a long plain dress. She had no make-up and her straight hair was curled up.
She was reading a book about decoration.
“Hello, I’m June.”I introduced myself out of politeness.
“Hello, my name is Linda.”
The woman greeted me while reading.
“You’re Linda.”
She was Linda.
I was surprised to know her identity.
The plane flew for four hours.
Most of the time, Linda was reading. She replied to me when I talked to her occasionally.
Although she was cold, I thought she was easy to get along with.
In the afternoon, the plane landed.
There was a car to pick us up.
Three hours later, we arrived at a resort.
We went in and were taken directly to our rooms by seven waiters.
She told me that she would pick me up for dinner in half an hour.
To be honest, the room was really nice. The total area of the room and yard was about 100 square meters.
One wall of the bedroom was glass. There was a square swimming pool outside.
The pool was fenced off by a one meter high fence.
The scenery was beautiful.
I looked around and had a rest. Then I followed the waiter to dinner.
In the dining room, besides us, there was the young man with Sean.
He first introduced himself, “Hello, my name is Eric, and I’m assistant to President Jessop. Next, I’ll tell you the rules of the final.”
Then Eric told us the rules of the final.
It was not hard.
To put it simply, we needed to transform our existing rooms.
We could change it to anything, as long as it was feasible and reasonable.
In addition to three mystery judges, the manager of the resort would also give us a score.
The total time was two weeks.
We would stay in this resort for two weeks.
The resort provided all services including laundry and changing toiletries. In addition, there were shops in the resort. We could buy daily necessities.
All people could only use the ordinary mobile phones provided by the resort.
We could use computers but not wireless networks.
That was to say, in these two weeks, we were isolated from the world.
After dinner, I was going to leave first.
No sooner had I left the dining room than Selena came after me. She laughed, “June, don’t think I don’t know. Daniell must have helped you before. Now he’s dead. I’ll see how you can make something as good as before.”
“Do you know about him?”I squinted at Selena and my tone was cold.
“Of course. He came to York and had an accident on his way back the next day.”Selena was gloating. She added,”He deserves it!”
“Apologize!”
She really pissed me off!
I grabbed Selena’s hair and slapped her!
The slap sounded very crisp.
Other designers came out. They looked at us.
“How dare you hit me!”Selena struggled.
I was not afraid of her, “apologies to Daniell. Apologize for what you just said!”
I was furious.
I slapped her again.
If Selena hadn’t said that, Daniell might not have come.
Daniell’s death was like a shadow I couldn’t walk out of.
I thought of everything.
Selena struggled. She was fat but weak. I was angry so I had a lot of strength.
After a few struggles, she was out of breath.
Several designers kindly said, “forget it. Stop fighting. This competition is important.”
“It is not important. Apologize! Or I won’t let go!”I stared at Selena, “you stole my work and framed me. You are not worthy of the final. You shouldn’t be here!”
“Your work must have been done by Daniell. You can’t make such a good work!”Selena is arrogant!
“You stole my work.”I grabbed her.
Selena still refused to apologize.
People around me were trying to persuade me.
Actually, my hands were tired.
“What’s the matter?”
At this time, a man’s voice came from the dark.
I didn’t look but I knew who it was.
Selena looked up and didn’t dare to go on. She said, “President Jessop, we’re kidding!”
She looked at me and whispered, “June, let me go.”
“Apologize.”
I didn’t want to let go at all.
“Well, I apologize. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have scolded Daniell. It’s all my fault.”Selena added, “I shouldn’t have scolded you either. Let go of me.”
