Chapter 30 The Theme Of The Competition

“How did things go?” The low and hoarse voice on the other end sounded as if it belonged to a smoker.

“I’ve done it your way,” responded lan hurriedly before he even had a chance to drink his water.

After a hum of acknowledgment from Nathaniel. Ian questioned curiously. “What’s Christina to you?”

Since Nathaniel never seemed interested in women, lan could not help but wonder about the relationship between Christina and the man.

As Nathaniel was involved in the matter, it was not appropriate for him to speak up. Hence, he had lan arrange the event for him instead.

Gina was in charge of overseeing the competition. The theme of this competition is the coming-of- age gift for a young girl. Besides drafting the design, you also have to produce it. The winner will be decided in a week.”

After explaining the rules, Gina distributed the room cards to the participating designers, and Christina was assigned to room 2088.

Huh? Does Tina seriously believe that I just got lucky? Christina’s lips curled into a smirk as she responded, “Let’s make a bet, then. If you lose, you’ll get the hell out of Radiant Corporation!”

Tina had worked many years at Radiant Corporation and won countless awards, so she was convinced she would never lose to a fresh graduate.

On top of that, she was sure that Christina only got promoted because the woman was shown favor. “1 don’t see why not. Just be careful not to drown in your own tears when you lose.”
