CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie murmured in acknowledgment. Without another glance at Lucy, Natalie turned on her heels and followed Lina into the competition hall.

Meanwhile, still rooted to the same spot, Lucy felt coldness in her hands and legs. As though she was frozen, she couldn't get her feet to take a step.

What should I do? Should I continue to compete or leave? I won't have to be scared about Natalie calling the police on me if I leave. At least, that is what my rationale is telling me. However, I'll lose the opportunity to be a fashion designer like Natalie once I leave, and I won't get to impress Shane. That will only stack up the odds against me ever being with Shane. However, Natalie won't drop this matter if I stay, and prison will await me at the end of the day.

The options were warring inside Lucy's mind, leaving her in a state of loss.

Time ticked by, and the competition would begin in another ten minutes.

In the end, Lucy chewed on her lip, shut her eyes, and inhaled a deep breath, settling on a decision. She decided to continue competing.

I'll lose the chance to impress Shane and be a fashion designer if I leave. On the other hand, I'll still stand a chance to achieve my goals if I stay. I'll be safe as long as I make a move before Natalie and Lina. Hence, I'm going to stay and compete.

Lucy tightened her fists and took a determined step toward the competition hall.
