Chapter 280 Both
Design Competition is our final showdown! I’ll prove
“Sadie, I’ve always wanted to surpass you. This International Jewelry Design Competition is our final showdown! I’ll prove I’m the true queen of design!” Vivi declared.
“Vivi, you’re so childish!” Sadie managed to suppress her anger. “Even if you resorted to underhanded tactics to drag me into this competition, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re not as skilled as I am!”
“Oh, really? Then let’s see who comes out on top!” Vivi retorted, ending the call abruptly.
Sadie clenched her phone, her grip tightening in frustration.
Vivi’s challenge had ignited a fiery anger within her, yet she recognized that impulsiveness would not serve her well now.
She needed to remain composed and strategize effectively.
Upon leaving the airport, she hailed a cab and directed the driver to her studio.
During the ride, Sadie mulled over her plans.
The International Jewelry Design Competition and her partnership with the Lawrence Group were both pivotal. She needed a solid plan to excel in both arenas.
“Sir, please hurry,” Sadie implored, her anxiety evident.
The cab driver noticed her tense expression in the rearview mirror and accelerated quietly.
Trying to gather her thoughts, Sadie leaned back, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath to calm herself.
When the cab arrived at her studio, Sadie quickly exited.
The studio door was slightly open, light pouring out onto the sidewalk.
She pushed the door open and was immediately met by the sight of Nanette pacing anxiously.
The studio was in chaos, with design drafts strewn about, fabrics and tools cluttering the tables, and a palpable tension
filling the air.
“Sadie, you’re back!” Nanette exclaimed, her relief evident as she approached like she had found a lifeline.
“What’s the current situation?” Sadie asked, striving to keep her voice steady despite her urgency.
“It’s the same. We can’t cancel the registration!” Nanette responded, close to tears. “We don’t even have time to prepare for
the International Jewelry Design Competition, and we haven’t even completed the first draft for our partnership with the
Lawrence Group!”
She gestured to the scattered design drafts, her voice laden with despair. “Look at this mess. All these were preparations
for the partnership, and now everything’s in disarray!”
Sadie surveyed the studio, noting the chaos–a testament to the stress Nanette had been under.
Approaching a table, Sadie picked up a few drafts and studied them carefully.

Seeing the resce in Sathe’s eyes, Nanette let her panic ebb away.
She nodded firmy wiped away her tears, and her voice steadied. “Alright! We’ll tackle both projects! If we need to, we’ll guil a few more all–aighters
Aftant smile appeared on Sadie’s lips, a bright spot in the cluttered studio.
“First, let’s reorganize our schedule. Sadie grabbed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, and began quickly outlining a plan. “We need to complete the first draft for the partnership with the Lawrence Group within two weeks, then we can make revisions and improvements. The last two weeks will be dedicated entirely to preparing for the International Jewelry Design Compection.
Nanette joined her at the table, her brows furrowing as she took in the ambitious schedule Sadie was sketching out. “Two weeks for the first draft? That’s incredibly tight”
I know it’s a night schedule, but we have to make it work. We need to maximize every minute, enhance our efficiency, and ensure we work seamlessly as a team.”
“Singht” Nanette agreed her resolte renewed
