Chapter: 296

Kaitlin, caught off guard, smiled again. "Thanks for the tip, Mr. Gilbert."

Although the whispers between them were subtle, some fans in the livestream room still noticed them.

“It looks Like Denton and Kay know each other pretty well."

“I just saw that!"

“Is there some gossip brewing here?"

“Stop it, don't spread rumors!"

The preliminary rounds began shortly after. Designers took the stage to present their creations and inspirations as time flew by.

As a judge, Kaitlin provided numerous insightful comments.

While she maintained a serious demeanor, her feedback was precise and offered the contestants valuable opportunities for improvement.

Many viewers were impressed by Kaitlin's performance, praising her as both beautiful and authoritative.

After the first half of the competition, there was a break.

As the camera went off, Kaitlin visibly relaxed.

"You must be tired after sitting for so long, right?" Denton inquired.

Kaitlin was somewhat impressed by Denton's performance in the first half.

So, when Denton approached her for a chat, she wasn't too distant.

“It's fine."

Kaitlin twisted off the cap, took a sip of water, and soothed her throat.

Participating as a judge in the Estresa Element Design Competition reminded her of similar contests she had entered before.

Now in the role of a judge, she found she was learning a great deal and felt invigorated by the experience.

"I've heard of you before. Your unique take on these designs caught my eye. Perhaps we could collaborate sometime." Denton was in high spirits, clearly impressed by Kaitlin's remarks.

At the mention of collaborate, Kaitlin's interest was piqued “Absolutely, it would be an honor for us to collaborate with you."

“You're being too modest, Ms. Gilbert."

Kaitlin waved her hand and said, "We're probably around the same age, so let's keep it casual. Just call me Kaitlin."

"Alright," Denton said.
