Chapter: 775

With Norah's affirmation, Aaron proceeded to brief her on the final, which consisted of the participants displaying their designs for the judges to assess.

The competition boasted a prestigious panel of five judges, comprising of the esteemed honorary president of the Clothing Designer Association in Glophia, the design director of Art Creation Limited Company in Glophia, the enigmatic founder of BelleVogue, the design director of the renowned Bahir brand and the internationally acclaimed designer Noelle. Together, they formed a formidable jury, certain to ensure the highest standards of design excellence.

Susanna opened her eyes to the scent of lavender that filled the air, her chosen fragrance for her sleeping sachet. Initially skeptical of its effect, she had drifted into a peaceful slumber. The lavender had worked its magic, ushering her into a much-needed rest.

She shot up like a firecracker after seeing the date on her phone.

She was left in utter shock.

"Oh, no! I almost forgot!" she exclaimed, panic-stricken.

Racing down the stairs, she called out in a frantic tone, "Sean, Phillip, I need your help!"

Phillip, witnessing her frantic descent, raised his eyebrows with concern. “Slow down a bit, would you?" he cautioned.

As she skidded to a halt, Susanna turned to Phillip, her face a mix of desperation and excitement. "Phillip, please, I need you to drive me somewhere. Quickly!"

"Where are you off to?" Sean inquired from his seat at a small round table by the window Susanna, who was typically a picture of poise and composure, was thrown off balance today.

She brushed her hair back frantically with her hands, and blurted out, “The Grace Cup final is happening today, and Noelle is a judge! I'm Noelle's biggest fan, and I need to see my idol in person! I just can't miss this opportunity!" Getting up from his seat, Sean said, "Norah went out earlier and will be back by noon. Let's get moving.

I'll come along with Phillip to drive you."

Sean, who had also taken the day off, was free this morning.

Excited about the opportunity to catch a glimpse of her idol, Susanna quickly left the house with the two men.

Her enthusiasm was palpable as she exclaimed, "Wonderful! Let's get a move on. We don't want to miss a moment of the competition!"

At a hall of Art Exhibition Center, the host explained the importance of the Grace Cup competition and described its structure.

"Today's panel of judges includes a range of highly creative individuals, each bringing their own unique take on fashion design.

We are honored to have the internationally acclaimed designer Noelle here with us. Please, let's welcome her with a big round of applause."

The judges would be seated on chairs arranged by the host. They would pivot towards the audience and rise as they were introduced, standing to greet the attendees.

Noelle's name sparked an enthusiastic cheer from the crowd, many of whom were fans looking forward to seeing her.

"It seems Noelle has quite the fanbase here! Her global fame is well known, and I'm eager to see what she looks like."

Right after the host wrapped up his enthusiastic introduction, the final chair pivoted towards the audience.

A lovely lady lounged on the chair, her curly hair flowing casually down her back and her face sporting a flawless look. She wore a fancy designer dress that showed off her figure.

She rose gracefully, smiling warmly as she waved to the crowd from the stage.
