Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 416 At This Time, She Was Sparkling

"They are the people of the same world. Some people have already been abandoned. So don't make a fool of yourself." Hearing Nina's sarcastic words, Lyra's face became even colder. "Nina, that's enough." Javier actually protected Lyra to his other side. "This is a competition, not a place to gossip. Moreover, the three of us are now in a group. If you want to cause trouble, you can directly withdraw from the competition. Don't cause trouble for me."

Nina's beautiful eyes flickered.

Although Javier said this because of the competition, in Nina's eyes, he was protecting Lyra. Nina gritted her teeth. "Heh... Alright, I'll see how you win without me!" The next few groups of people were watching from the side. "Why are the two of them arguing?" "It's best for them to quarrel. If we can surpass Javier's design, that would be great." Sounds of discussion entered her ears. Lyra sighed helplessly. The design competition she imagined was not like this. Especially the man on the stage, what was he doing here?

Was he really here for Ellie?

That man had always treated benefits as the norm. Perhaps, it was indeed beneficial for the Barnwell group to create hype with Ellie. For the sake of revenge, he could betray his marriage and marry her. There was nothing he could not do. For some reason, she felt a burning pain in her stomach.

Lyra tried her best to endure it, but the voice in her ear became blurry. Finally, the host said, "Alright, then please take a break. Half an hour later, our first show officially begins." Everyone rushed to the backstage. It was unknown who hit Lyra, but her feet were unstable and she fell towards Javier. "Are you alright?" He frowned at her and helped Lyra. "You..." "I'm fine. Let's compete first." Lyra wiped the sweat off her forehead and endured it. "You're in charge of the accessory section. Remember to modify model 2's wrist." Javier frowned. "Okay."

Javier wanted to win, and Lyra also wanted to win. The two people who were focused on designing worked together and had a tacit understanding. At this time, the camera was also quietly aimed at them. And Nina was still standing at the side like in the afternoon, not doing anything. Naturally, there was no camera for her. "Lyra, is model No. 1 ready?" "Okay!" Lyra put on the earrings for the model and looked at it carefully. "No problem." "Next."

After Javier finished his last job, he saw that Lyra was a little tired and went to help her.

"It doesn't matter. I can do it myself." Lyra retracted her hand and bent down to tidy up the clothes. She had to make sure that when the model walked, it would not affect the beauty of the waist chain.

Nina stared at them and snorted with jealousy. She felt that Javier was really crazy. He actually thought that a designer who had just entered the industry could replace her! Then let the two of them lose fiercely and let Javier taste the consequences of leaving her behind.

The host's voice came from outside.

"Then, let's have the first group!"

Lyra shook her hand, and there was a small needle at the junction of the waist chain, which pierced her finger. She snorted and immediately wiped the blood away. "I've dealt with it. Don't worry, it won't hurt you," she instructed the model.

The model nodded. "Thank you." Lyra took two steps back and sat down on the chair.

She was really a little tired, and even her vision was a little blurred. Why was the music outside getting smaller and smaller? There were five groups of contestants, fifteen models, and the model of Lyra's group was the last to appear.

The five judges below the stage were all sitting there.

Hank put his hands on the buttons of his suit and stared ahead with his cold eyes.

"Why are you here, Mr. Barnwell?" Ellie tilted her head and looked at him curiously. The interaction between the two of them looked like they were flirting.

She knew there were cameras filming, so she naturally leaned toward the man beside her. "Because you were worried about Lyra. Actually, I also came for her." Hank only reacted when he mentioned Lyra.

He looked at her with indifference and alienation. "I am not." "Then why?" Ellie raised an eyebrow. "You crossed the ocean just to go on a blind date with me, so of course, I have to save face for you and take a few photos with you. It's good for both you and me." Ellie was stunned.

At this moment, Hank's eyes were cold. His voice was so cold that there was no emotion.

He confessed his shrewdness and schemes so frankly, blocking all of Ellie's expectations. "Mr. Barnwell, you're really direct." Ellie couldn't laugh anymore. She was such a proud person. Wherever she went, she would be highly sought after. But at this time, in Hank's eyes, she was like a banknote marked with chips, full of the stench of copper However, the words that made her even more angry were still coming. "When the work here is over, you can take my car back to the hotel. By the way, we can have a cup of coffee."

He was asking her out.

However, there was no warmth in his tone.

Ellie turned her head and saw Hank's deep eyes, as if to suck her soul in. But his coldness clearly showed that she was a chess piece that had taken the initiative to send herself to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but there's no need."

The catwalk continued. Hank looked away indifferently and did not speak. Ellie furrowed her brows. She almost couldn't hide the anger in her heart. Did he have to come personally to humiliate her? "Next is the last group." When Hank heard Lyra's name, he lifted his eyes and looked over. This was the only model he had paid attention to on the stage for the entire show. It was because this was done by Lyra. Ellie took out her phone and sent a message. The other contestants gathered behind to watch. They were all surprised. "It's too

amazing. Everyone only has four hours. How can their completion rate be so high?"

"This is not a competition work at all. It's a show that can be performed on Fashion Week!"

"Lyra is really lucky. She won just like that." Through the live broadcast, the design director, Shen Qian, smiled. "Find all the information about Lyra immediately." "But director, she was previously rumored to have plagiarized works and had a criminal record. Isn't it a bad idea to recruit this kind of person into the company?" The assistant said.

"Are you the director, or am I the director?" Shen Qian asked. "I will go now." The assistant did not dare to speak loudly and immediately ran out of the office. Shen Qian narrowed her eyes. "Javier and Nina were dug out by me. They have been running out of inspiration these past few years. I need this kind of creative designer to dampen their spirits. It's best to replace them." "And she's also an infamous ex-wife of a rich and powerful family. How interesting!" Shen Qian took out her phone and dialed the number of Carson's assistant. "I don't care how the groups will be divided, but you must arrange Javier and Lyra together. Otherwise, Javier will directly withdraw from the competition."
