Chapter 199:
Touched by Evie’s care, Jenessa grinned and playfully tousled her hair.
“You’re right. I promise to take better care of myself. Now that our design is ready, let’s head home p>
The pair left the office, their laughter echoing down the hallway when suddenly they bumped into Mina coming their way.
Seeing their cheerful demeanor, Mina couldn’t help but feel a pang of irritation. She tossed a sarcastic comment their way.
“The competition’s tomorrow, and it’s just the two of you. Why are you leaving so early? Planning to concede defeat already p>
Jenessa responded with unwavering calm, “You’ll see the results tomorrow p>
With that, she walked away with Evie, uninterested in engaging with Mina.
Mina watched them leave, a frown etching her features. Despite her skepticism, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Sloane’s response was filled with confidence, as if victory was already hers.
Mina found herself both upset and intrigued. How was it possible for Sloane to finish her work so quickly? And where did she find the nerve to be so boldly confident?
Mina couldn’t help but wonder: What exactly had Sloane and Evie accomplished in that office?
After some contemplation, an idea struck Mina.
The day was fading, and most of the company’s staff had already left. Mina carefully waited until the building was nearly empty before stealthily making her way to the door of Sloane’s office.

The door was locked.
However, as the chief designer, Mina naturally had a key. She pulled it out and quietly unlocked the door.
Flipping on the lights, Mina’s eyes landed on an extraordinarily beautiful sample dress. In that instant, her expression transformed, filled with disbelief!
In the corner of the office, a sample dress stood out in a vibrant spring green hue. Mina, almost entranced, approached swiftly and reached out to touch it.
The garment was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, fashioned from the softest, most delicate fabric imaginable. It was adorned with intricate floral clusters cascading from the bodice to its sweeping hem. The dress sleeves were crafted from ethereal gauze, light and see-through. The neckline and skirt boasted delicate frills, creating a striking layered look.
Originally, Mina was certain Sloane wouldn’t stand a chance in the competition. She never imagined Sloane could produce such an immaculate piece. Every aspect of the dress took her breath away.
At that moment, Mina realized that if Sloane presented this dress in the competition, her victory was all but guaranteed. Jealousy and frustration surged through her. Tomorrow’s competition would draw many media outlets. If Sloane used this dress to make a splash, Mina’s own future in fashion would be in jeopardy.
With that thought, a hint of malice and determination flickered in Mina’s eyes.
The next day, upon arriving at the company, Jenessa found the entrance swarmed with reporters.
At the center of the crowd stood Mina, her rival in today’s competition.
“Miss Keller, are you seriously going up against Sloane? Do you believe you’ve got what it takes to win p>
Mina appeared self-assured and gracious.
“As an experienced designer, there’s no way I could lose to Sloane p>
