I ignored her and went straight to the selection room.
Our works would be publicly selected.
When I went in, I saw several people already seated.
They were gloating.
I didn’t speak and sat down in a corner.
Soon, Sean and a lot of people came in. Molly followed him.
Molly was close to him. When she saw me, her eyes lit up and she called me, “June!”
She ran to me.
She sat next to me and said happily, “I heard you made it to the final so I came here specially. I was looking for you.”
“How’s grandma?”
I looked at her.
I didn’t want to care about Molly any more than asking her about Sherry.
“Grandma?”Molly didn’t seem to expect me to ask about Sherry. She thought for a moment and said,” she hasn’t changed. But our aunt doesn’t want to turn off the ventilator now. She’s very strange.”
Luckily, Jessica did what I said.
Selena sat in front of me. When she saw Molly and I talking happily, she came up and said in a proper voice,” she lives with President Jessop every day these days.”
“…”
When Selena finished, Molly turned violent.”Don’t talk nonsense. June is not like that.”
“She’s been living with President Jessop every day for two weeks. They are like conjoined babies.”
When Selena finished, the others said, “yes, we saw it, too.”
Molly looked at me in embarrassment.
She didn’t say what she wanted to say.
Selena was talking with others exaggeratively about what happened these days.
Molly turned pale.
Finally she couldn’t stand it and said, “I’ll go to Mr. Jessop first.”
Then she stood up and left.
Selena looked at me gloating.
At this time, Eric and four people came in. I knew one of them was the manager of the resort.
There were also two men and one woman.
Two men looked American.
Only that woman was a foreigner.
Although no one had seen Lance Harris, he must be a man.
Didn’t he come?
I was not surprised that he didn’t come. After all, Lance Harris’s character was very strange. Even if he promised, he would often break his promise.
I sat there.
About half an hour later, the selection began.
First of all, the works of seven of us were shown.
There was a traditional style room that was eye-catching.
When we saw this work, we were all surprised.
Selena looked proud.
I knew it must be her work.
She was sure to win the championship.
Then we explained our works one by one and explained our design concept.
My work was deeply influenced by Linda. Although it was simpler than other people’s works, it was very practical because it was designed for the disabled, including the blind. It had a lot of small details.
When I finished, I took a look at Selena.
She despised and even laughed.
But I looked at the judges. They were all listening carefully and had no special expression.
Selena was the last.
She explained her design concept very thoroughly.
I didn’t understand, but I thought she was very good.
In fact, at this moment, I admired her.
When Selena finished, she confidently said”thank you”and was going to come back.
“Haha!”
All of a sudden, a furious laugh came from the bench.
I followed the voice and found that it was one of the two male judges.
This man was the most special of the three judges.
He was about fifty years old and had long hair. He was wearing a T-shirt, trousers and flip flops.
He looked a bit like a hooligan.
I was not questioning the quality of the people Sean invited, but this man did give me that feeling.
Selena was not happy when she saw the man laughing.”What are you laughing at?”
“Haha.”After laughing for a long time, the man pointed to her work and said, “you say this is a traditional American architecture and you borrowed the design of Traditional Design Gang?”
“Of course!”
Selena stood there and straightened her back, but her voice was clearly a little shaky.
Did she talk nonsense and meet an expert?
While I was guessing, the man suddenly said seriously, “let me tell you what you did wrong.”
With that, he stood up and stepped onto the platform. He picked up a pen and began to talk slowly about the problem of the design.
Selena’s design looked high-level and had meaning. As Linda said, she was showing off her skills.
But when the judge finished, it was full of flaws.
The man threw away the pen and said coldly, “you don’t understand the design at all. You shouldn’t have done the design. You are shameless.”
Selena was embarrassed when the judge was talking.
Selena couldn’t stand it after he finished. She pointed at him and said, “who are you? Why do you comment so? You dress casually and disrespectfully. You are not qualified to comment on me.”
“Who am I?”
The judge looked at her jokingly.
“Yes!”Selena didn’t seem to want to lose the prize money for the competition. She stood up straight and said, “I’ve done special research. Even if a person of Traditional Design Gang is here, he will not feel that there is a big problem in this design!”
“Haha!”
As soon as Selena finished, the judge burst out laughing.
Eric came up to Selena and said, “he’s Lance Harris, the famous designer.”
“What?”Selena was shocked!
I was surprised, too.
Lance Harris was an American.
I really couldn’t believe it.
Selena obviously had the same idea. She looked at the man and sneered.”I heard Lance Harris never goes to public. Did you find a fake?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”Eric was angry and wanted to stop her.
Selena went on, “nonsense? Let him prove that he’s Lance Harris!”
