CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie doubled over with laughter. “Stop exaggerating!”

In response, Lina sighed. “You don't understand. I totally love babies like him. Never mind if I'd never seen Anders in the past, but I've had the chance to see him now. On top of that, he's my godson. How can I stop myself from thinking about him?”

“All right. I'll stop talking about him, then,” Natalie replied in a resigned tone.

“That's right. Don't talk about Anders anymore. I'm afraid I'd picture his adorable self in my mind if you were to continue further. Then, I might not be able to concentrate on the competition.” Lina took a few deep breaths to restrain the excitement within her.

At that, Natalie swiftly ceased speaking of Anders, lest it affect Lina for real. It would be bad if the latter were to make a mistake or face a lack of inspiration during the competition later.

Nonetheless, she was still elated inwardly. As a mother, she was naturally proud and delighted that someone liked her son so much.

Soon, the competition began.

Perhaps Lina was eager to go back earlier to see Anders, for she was exceedingly serious during the competition in the afternoon. It was as though she had been injected with a dose of adrenaline.

She was so intensely focused that Natalie felt as though she had turned into a different person altogether.

At the sight of her utter earnestness, Natalie likewise pulled herself together and became serious. Otherwise, she would drag Lina down if she failed to keep up with her pace.

That round of competition would not be determining the top three placings on that very day.

After all, it was impossible for designers to finish a final draft to their absolute satisfaction within a day.

Therefore, the contestants would generally submit their drafts after they had made satisfactory progress or had run out of inspiration that day. The following day, they would retrieve their drafts and continue drawing.

Three days were given for the first round of the competition. Only after that period would the final draft be fully finalized and the top three contestants be selected.

Thus, the designers could submit their drafts and leave after doing some rough sketches that day.

Of course, if any of them felt that the design they drew that day could be considered the final draft, they could inform the organizer about it during the submission and only return after three days to await the results of the competition.

Right then, Natalie had already finished her draft.

She studied the stunningly beautiful design that could rob one's breath at a glance before turning to Lina beside her, who had also drawn a gorgeous jewelry design. Smiling, she asked, “What do you think?”

Lina did not answer her but cast her gaze on the design in Natalie's hands. The instant she laid eyes on the costume the latter designed, she whistled. “We sure are the perfect team, Nat. We don't discuss the design much before getting down to business. Instead, we tacitly draw according to our own ideas and only see whether the costume and accessories match after the fact. If they don't match, we will then alter them until they do. But from the look of things now, no changes are necessary. Our designs match perfectly.”
