The Queen's Back

Mona said to Leander with a smile, completely ignoring Barbara beside him, "Thanks for your encouragement, Mr. Ford. I hope to bring honor to Nathontown too." "Alright," Leander said. "Make Clem Group proud. Make Nathontown proud. I've got high hopes for you."

When Mona first joined Clem Group, Leander had a low opinion of her.

But after she designed a gown for Artemis and participated in the Nathontown Design Competition, his view of Mona completely changed.

Mona was very likely the dark horse of the Design Competition this time, rising all the way to the top.

She nodded at Leander and walked straight to the backstage.

As Barbara looked at Mona's slender and determined back, she smiled faintly.

It was almost indistinct. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to notice at all.

"Mr. Ford, I'll go draw the competition order now," she said.

Upon getting Leander's approval, Barbara walked toward the staff.

After a long wait and rising tension, the long-awaited Noretin Design Competition began with enthusiastic applause.

Sitting in the contestants' area, Mona looked at Maxwell across the stage. He immediately smiled at Mona, his lips slightly parted. Then, he looked at the beautiful roses in his arms.

It was Mona who asked Maxwell to hold them for her. She asked him to give them to her when she came off the stage.

Across the stage, Mona could see clearly that Maxwell was mouthing, "Honey, go for it."

After understanding what Maxwell was trying to communicate, Mona nodded at him.

As the opening speech concluded and the applause faded, the designs from each designer began to be showcased.

There were designs in red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, purple, black, white, gray, and neon... Every color found in nature was used. The styles of the gowns also varied greatly. It depended on whose design was ingenious and would capture the attention of the spectators and the judges.
