Chapter 691:
“That’s right. Mr. Kelly will definitely show up p>
“It’s probably just a traffic jam. He wouldn’t lie to us p>
“With Mr. Kelly leading the team, we are sure to win p>
“Alright, Delia. Let’s head out.” Since Jenessa didn’t want to have anything to do with Martin’s team, especially Hilda, she swiftly called Delia back and left with her own team.
Delia’s mood remained slightly sour. It was, after all, none of their business. Her only intent had been to show a bit of concern, yet Hilda had met her with hostility.
Delia decided to keep her distance from Hilda in the future.
Soon enough, Martin’s assistant made an appearance. Facing the group of newcomers, the assistant adopted a somewhat haughty demeanor.
“Guys, Mr. Kelly had a bit too much to drink last night and is feeling unwell today. He’s been taken to the hospital, so he won’t be able to attend the meeting. We will reschedule it for later p>
The competitors stared in disbelief, their eyes widening in shock.
“When will he return?” someone asked anxiously.
The assistant shrugged dismissively.
“I can’t say for certain. But don’t worry. In the meantime, you can begin working on your designs. Once he’s back, he will be able to review and refine your work p>
A murmur of frustration rippled through the crowd.
“How are we supposed to start designing when he isn’t here p>

The assistant rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.
“Come on, it’s simple. You can have a preliminary discussion and elect a team leader to guide you. It’s not rocket science. Do I really need to spell it out for you p>
When Hilda saw this, she stepped up and said, “I can be the team leader p>
With a reassuring smile directed at Martin’s assistant, she added, “Don’t worry. Send Mr. Kelly my best wishes for a swift recovery. I’ll lead our team and make sure to update him after our discussion p>
“Okay, that’s good,” Martin’s assistant replied. He nodded with satisfaction before leaving.
The other competitors were puzzled and couldn’t figure out what was happening. The judges were supposed to guide and oversee the teams as they competed against other teams. Why was there a new team leader?
Once Hilda stepped into her new role, her demeanor shifted dramatically. She took charge with an air of authority and commanded, “Make sure you return to prepare your designs and submit them to me in two days p>
The competitors exchanged dissatisfied glances.
“We joined Mr. Kelly’s team to learn from him directly. Who do you think you are to give us orders p>
“That’s right. If I had known he would be so indifferent, I would have gone with Mr. Atkinson instead p>
“But Mr. Atkinson’s team is already full p>
“Sloane’s team isn’t bad. At least she takes responsibility for her team. Their progress is much quicker than ours p>
“Well, it’s a bit too late to regret now p>
