Natalie tried to sense something awry from Jessie’s countenance, yet to no avail. When the competition started, she finally turned away. The moment she looked away, Jessie heaved a sigh of relief. Even so, she was overcome by a wave of uneasiness as alarm bells started to ring in her head. Natalie seems to have sensed something. She’s starting to be suspicious of me!
Jessie bit her lips as something crossed her mind. She raised her hand to tap lightly on her earring and uttered softly, “There’s something I need you to settle for me first. If not, I will not be able to perform during the competition.”
“What is it?” a hoarse voice sounded from the earring.
Jessie looked around cautiously and cupped her hand over her mouth before she gave her instructions. She was at ease after the person on the other side agreed to help her.
After a while, the host announced that the competition had officially started. Apart from that, the elimination rounds would replace the previous preliminary round. In other words, twelve out of the designers would be eliminated on the same day itself. Thus, the spacious competition hall was engulfed by a tense atmosphere. By hook or by crook, all the designers wished to proceed to the next round — none of them wanted to be the ones eliminated.
The rules of the competition were the same as the previous round. All the designers had to come up with their own designs and sew the outfits accordingly. After that, models would put on the outfits and showcase them on the runway.
The only difference was the theme. Instead of being given the freedom to set their favorite themes in the previous round, it was now standardized. Thus, it was fairer for the designers — they would be working on the same theme.
