Let Me Stay The Night

Christina’s victorious moment was short–lived when everyone began casting doubtful glances at her.

Her face fell, and a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

No one would feel good in a situation like that, but Nancy could not be bothered when she stood forward and questioned unapologetically, “Ms. Selena, please explain why all of us got homeless beggars as models while Christina got a ballerina. This is blatant partiality!”

Since she did not win any awards, Nancy figured she had nothing to lose, so she challenged Selena outright about Christina’s special treatment.

This is so unfair!

Faced with Nancy’s interrogation, Christina felt the urge to confront Nancy and divulge the truth about the models, but Selena beat her to it.

“Watch your tongue. Who gave you the right to challenge me? Zele?” Selena fumed. She was defensive because Nancy had challenged her despite her specifying that the competition would be carried out fairly.

“I…” Nancy was suddenly stumped.

She participated in the competition because Zele had asked her to and even requested that she bring home an award. Now that things had turned out like that, she would only fall out of Zele’s favor, and the thought of it made Nancy detest Christina even more.

Her dissatisfaction was so strong she felt like throwing Christina off the stage and snatching her award from her.

It was apparent that other designers were on her side from the discontent written all over their faces. They could not see why Christina’s work was better than theirs.
