Those who didn't make it were also occupied. Some were researching about the trip to Bellador, while others quietly watched videos or took classes. None of them paid any attention to Division Two."They're really treating this matter too lightly. They're not taking us seriously at all!""Exactly. They act like they've already won. They must think they're so amazing.""They are amazing. They went to that Bamford Co. training. We can't compare to that."...Their chatter grew louder as if they were trying to provoke Division One.Angela could hear them through her headphones, but she just ignored them.Soon, Callum arrived with his assistant, holding a stack of design submissions.Everyone's hopes rose at once."Please put aside what you're doing. We have the voting results," Callum said with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor.Angela lifted her head, feeling a little nervous."First place has 65 votes," Callum announced with a note of approval in his voice.That entry appear

Meanwhile, Division One was in an unusually good mood. Everyone let out their excitement the moment the door closed. They hugged one another and celebrated in all sorts of ways.Before they had gone into the conference room, Angela had reminded them to stay calm no matter the result. She had told them not to reveal their emotions and risk looking foolish.In the past, they had always been laughed at, but today they had finally turned the tables and were able to hold their heads high.They were making a ruckus in the large office outside, but Angela didn't bother to stop them.She felt great all day. After finishing her work and clocking out, she planned to head out for a stroll. She would be leaving for Bellador the day after tomorrow and wouldn't be back for at least a week.Right after she carried a bunch of things home, Angela received a call from an unknown number.It was Nick Campbell, one of Dexter's childhood friends."Angela, Dexter's had too much to drink. Can you come

Angela turned around, dropping the scarf and gloves in her hands."Hey, don't you accuse me of that! It slipped out by accident. Your mom was already suspicious and tricked me into confirming it. I didn't do it on purpose."She's your mom. She wouldn't spread it around and damage your reputation. You lost nothing, so don't try to pin any blame on me. I won't let you use this as a reason to make our agreement void!"Her expression changed noticeably. She stared straight at him, eyes blazing with both fury and fear. Yet she refused to back down.Dexter watched her in silence. The light in his eyes dimmed little by little.Was she really that anxious? Was she afraid he wouldn't let her go?"Then why did you tell my mom to set me up with someone?" he asked through gritted teeth, his voice forced out from deep in his chest, each word dripping with anger.Before Angela could reply, there was a sudden noise from the guest room.Angela forgot all about explaining and hurried over. She

Fiona had work to do and couldn't take care of Dexter every day.Just then, Dexter's new assistant, Noah Perry, walked over and said, "Mr. Bamford, we got an invitation to Duke Steven's wedding in Montivale two weeks ago, but we still haven't replied."Dexter gave Noah a surprised glance. The assistant kept his head down in a respectful posture."When is it?" Dexter cleared his throat, his expression still sour. "I'm too busy to attend that playboy's wedding.""It's three days from now," Noah answered with a slight smile. "He also said if you don't attend, he'll give that project to DawnStar instead of us."Dexter took longer strides and fell silent, deep in thought.Moments later, he ordered, "Book me a ticker for a flight tomorrow.""Pardon me, Mr. Bamford. Tomorrow's flights are sold out. The only seat left is on the last flight tonight," Noah replied.Dexter paused for a moment.Noah quickly lowered his head, pretending nothing happened."Fine, I'll make do," Dexter said,

"Besides, you remember what Stephen promised us. If we take Angela down, I'll become head of Division One. After that, we won't have to worry about a better future," Zion said in an icy voice. His demeanor now was worlds apart from his usual polite one. In the dark, his eyes gleamed with a cold light."Flora, you had a chance to deal with Alan earlier today, but you missed it. He's our biggest threat. We can't let him—""That's enough." Flora looked away.She wore a ring that had something hidden inside. If she pricked someone with it, the person would be poisoned in a way that caused dizziness and mental confusion for a few days. It wasn't lethal, but it would be enough to keep them from performing their best in the competition.Their mission was to sabotage the other eight designers so that none of them could compete properly.Yet earlier, when Alan tried to help her, Flora couldn't bring herself to go through with it. She was starting to question if it was worth sacrificing t
