CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

The competition was a group competition with unique regulations. The organizer called in a few models with unusual body shapes, and they would be allocated to each team. The teams were supposed to custom design clothes for their respective model, with the aim of downplaying their shortcomings and showcasing their strengths.

So, that effectively removed all the designers' models, including Sally, from the competition for that round.

Moreover, they were mentored by top designers, and with that background, the clients they were exposed to were the rich and famous, who were usually very image-conscious. These people rarely allowed their bodies to get out
