Lance looked at Zoey, his eyes full of affection, and said, "So, we're playing the 'girlfriend' card now? Don't worry, I'll handle Thalassa's registration. She's a perfect fit. In competitions like these, who cares about work experience? It's all about the dazzle of the designs."

Zoey beamed at Thalassa, "Hear that? You're totally in. Add Lance on WhatsApp, and you can sign up tomorrow."

Thalassa quickly pulled out her phone, her manners polished yet modest, and humbly said to Lance, "Let me add you as a contact."
