Daniel finished with a slight tilt of his chin, full of himself. The girl in black scoffed, "If you're that big of a deal, why are you even here for a competition?"

"Who the hell are you calling a copycat?!" the girl retorted.

ten designers had gathered in the lounge, and most were women. They started to chat with people they thought to be easygoing.
