Chapter 171: You Lose, I'll Shave My Head Right Here

Elise Chandler quickly regained her composure, glaring furiously at Tina. "You think turning Tanner's exquisite one-shoulder gown into a simple strapless dress counts as design?"

"That's exactly it." Gwendolyn joined Elise on the runway, arms crossed, chuckling disdainfully as she eyed the ombre dress altered by Tina. "And here I thought you had some real talent. Turns out it's nothing special." "What's the rush?" Tina glanced coolly at them both.

"You've ruined this dress!" Elise shrieked, unable to contain herself. "Tanner hates it when someone tampers with his designs! If you've jeopardized our Woodwind family's collaboration with Tanner's own brand, I will never forgive you!" "And what about it?" Tina responded emotionlessly, "Wasn't it you who asked me to make changes? What are you complaining about now?"

"Just because we asked, you thought you should? Who do you think you are!" Elise was incredulous at Tina's arrogance. "Tanner wouldn't even spare a glance at someone as tasteless as you!"

"Heh, this is actually the first time I've come across someone so full of themselves," Gwendolyn mocked Tina. "Let's make a bet then. If Tanner praises your alterations, I'll shave my head right here on this runway!" Tina's eyelashes fluttered up as she looked towards Gwendolyn, a captivating smile spreading across her face. "Shave your head? I like that! Are you sure about this bet?"

"Absolutely!" Gwendolyn snapped back. "If Tanner actually compliments you, I won't just shave my head on the spot, I'll keep it bald for life!"

"Great, that's the spirit." Tina nodded. "Let's see it, then!"

She used her scissors to cut a jagged, tiered neckline on the dress, then stitched on some strips of fabric from a butterfly appliqué she had torn off earlier, creating a lapel-style collar.

By now, it was too late for Elise Chandler to intervene, so she stood aside coldly, pondering how to explain the situation to Tanner and planning to blame it all on Tina.

As she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard murmurs from the crowd below the runway. "This alteration actually looks quite good."
