CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Lina clapped her hands in delight before she flipped open the laptop in front of her and began her research into obsidians and black diamonds.

In the end, she settled for obsidian.

Between the two, though obsidian was far less valuable a commodity, the rarity of black diamonds meant that there was a considerably diminished market demand for it.

That was why the organizers could not possibly green light a request for black diamonds. Steep prices aside, they might not actually be able to acquire any.

Another reason was the intrinsic translucency which was the characteristic of black diamonds. By comparison, the intensity and purity of the blackness in obsidian made it even more ideal for implementation in designs that could fulfill the requirements of the galaxy theme. Obsidian also offered greater ease in complementing outfits.

Hence, Lina submitted her request form accordingly, which quickly received approval.

Following that, Lina held Natalie by the hands. “Accompany me down to the jewelry market tomorrow, won't you, Nat?”

“Of course I will,” Natalie assented.

Per the nature of their partnership, her own gowns would not be able to receive a high score if there were issues with the accessories, hence she could not be nonchalant about it.

After the conclusion of their discussions which included plans for upcoming designs, they prepared to depart from the clubhouse.

The requirements for the next round of the competition would not be the same as it was before, which required everything to be completed within the clubhouse itself. Designers were allowed to work from home or any other public venue over the course of two weeks and needed only to deliver their finished projects on time.

That was what the other designers had in mind as well. Hence, they got up and left as soon as they submitted their own requests.
