In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 205

The judge announces the ranking backward. And the third place is Nicole.

I can tell that Nicole is disappointed but not surprised by the result. I think she probably didn't show her true capability this time. I don't know if it was because she was under pressure.

The second place is a famous experienced designer.

I am getting more and more nervous.

Will I win the competition? I have confidence in myself, but for such a big competition, it is not enough to just have confidence.

"The first place has two candidates. One is the French designer Monica. The second one is the Chinese designer Jane Noyes."

When I hear my name, I am indescribably excited. But what does he mean by two candidates?

"The champion will be one of you. The person who does not win the championship will receive a special award for joining the competition, and will get the opportunity to cooperate with DS. Now, please let the two candidates elaborate on their design concepts. And then the three judges will directly declare their choice." The host continues.

I never expected that the competition would be like this.

Monica is the first one to talk about her design inspiration. I can’t focus. But I know it is a beautiful love story about first love.

Then she passes the microphone to me. At the same time, Frances also turns his head and looks at me.

My face gets blushed when I notice he is looking at me. Because the design inspiration for my cufflinks is my love for him.

I clear my throat and say, "I believe that everyone has ever loved a person unrequitedly. That person is like a thorn in the heart. It hurts if it is pulled out, and if it is not pulled out, your heart will fester. So, the theme of my design this time is ‘desperate love’, which is also the flower language of the Datura stramonium. If I can’t accompany the one I love, I want to use another way to get involved in his life. These cufflinks will accompany him to behalf of me."

When I am speaking, I don’t dare looking at Frances at all. Perhaps it is the so-called guilty conscience.

Donny gives the first vote. He votes for Monica because my design story is too sad and he doesn't like such a desperate love story.

Lady Catherine votes for me. She says that my design story reminded her of the love of her life she had missed.

The last vote is from Whitney. In fact, I know it clearly in my heart that she will never vote for me.

Unsurprisingly, Whitney votes for Monica without even giving a reason.

After the result announcement, Whitney gives me a triumphant look. But when she looks at my design, she is obviously amazed. I think she has some feelings for my design. But she makes me lose my chance because she doesn’t like me.

So I lose my chance of winning the championship.

I can still cooperate with DS, but the one million dollars is gone. I really don't know how many times I will miss such a good opportunity in the future.

I almost have no hope of leaving Frances.

After rewarding, I feel so disappointed. I pack my things and walk out, but Whitney blocks my way out.

"How about it? Are you feeling sad about losing the championship? I said long ago, as long as I am here, you will never win the championship!"

Whitney looks at me triumphantly, being so proud of herself. Besides her, it’s Nicole with a guilty expression.

"Do you think Nicole treats you as a friend?! I asked her to help get close to you and frame you when necessary! Look at yourself, who would want to be your friend? Nicole, don't you think so?"

Nicole lowers her head and doesn’t answer, which makes me feel that Nicole agrees with what Whitney says.

I feel quite uncomfortable after losing the competition. What Whitney says just makes it worse.

Since she is so arrogant, I don't need to give in. I wonder if Whitney knows why I want to win the championship, will she be as happy as she is now?

I raise my head, smile at Whitney, and say softly, "If I tell you that you missed an opportunity to let me leave Frances, would you regret what you did just now?"
