Bring Your A Game

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 717-One look was all it took for Elise to know what went wrong with Abby’s art work.

What the girl embroidered was a piece where a sea dragon emerged from the sea. However, the dragon had soulless eyes that did nothing to make it look majestic at all. This was supposed to be a trial that would put Abby’s embroidery skills to test, but it was because of this minor detail that her work didn’t turn out as perfect as it should.

After a brief moment of thinking, Elise whispered to Abby while the organizer was still in a heated debate with Ekaterina.

As if there was hope again, Abby brightened after she listened to what Elise had to say. After solemnly nodding her head, she walked back to her assigned spot with confidence and picked up the needle again.

No more than 20 minutes had passed when Abby headed in the judge and Ekaterina’s direction, her embroidery tightly held against her chest.

“I am afraid you have misunderstood, Ms. Miiyagi. The reason why the organizers have not given out the awards after so long is not because we Cittadelians can’t afford to lose. There is a legitimate reason for it.” Abby’s attitude was neither inferior nor haughty.

“What is it, then?” Ekaterina asked with a voice full of suspicion.

“You will know it when you see it.”

As Abby finished speaking, she held the embroidery in front of her and faced it in the direction of the judge and Ekaterina. She then looked up at the sun in the sky and bit by bit, adjusted the angle.

A miracle seemed to happen right before their eyes in that instant.

The lifeless eyes of the dragon seemed to come alive under the sunlight. Looking carefully, the judge and Ekaterina even thought that the dragon’s eyes were blinking. However, as they got closer, they realized that it was just a trick on the eyes caused by the refraction of light and the formation of shadows.

“Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!” The judge couldn’t help clapping his hands. “Miss Mellor, could this be the long-lost ‘Fluffy Stitch’ method that you have used in your work?”

Abby pursed her lips and nodded with a light smile. “It is,” she confirmed.

“What a talented youth!” The judge kept nodding as a wide grin spread across his face.
