Chapter 224: Chapter 224

“You know that Elia’s my idol, but you didn’t ask her for an autograph earlier. I’m so disappointed!”

Blake gave her a stern look. “You should start practicing. If you don’t pass the preliminary round tomorrow, you’ll become a laughingstock!”

Rita lapsed into silence.

The next morning, Silvia headed to the design competition’s venue.

To host this competition, Williams Corporation had rented a venue and many high-tech monitors from Remus Corporation. That way, they could monitor the contestants’ drawing process from all angles. The entire process would also be broadcast live so that people across the country could watch the contestants’ work. Of course, their serial numbers would be kept confidential.

Aside from the judges who would be giving anonymous feedback, one thousand online designers would also be selected to offer comments and votes. These would serve as a reference for the scores and add to the competition’s liveliness, both online and offline.

As Silvia entered the venue, a man in work clothes quickly approached her and said, “You must be the new assistant. Move the water in the corner to the contestants’ rest area.”

The man seemed busy. After he gave the instructions, he left before Silvia could respond.

She looked around and could not spot anyone who resembled the aforementioned assistant.

Glancing at the time, she noted that the competition would start in twenty minutes.

The door to the rest area would be closed ten minutes in advance. The contestants would not be able to come out during the duration of the competition. If no one moved the water in, they would have nothing to drink for three hours.

She hesitated for a few seconds and walked toward the mineral water stacked aside.

Just as she picked up two boxes, she heard a surprised voice behind her.

“Why are you here?”

She turned to see Ada standing nearby with a startled look.

Neil was standing next to her. It had been two weeks since Silvia last saw him in person, and he seemed even colder. He exuded an aura that would keep any stranger at bay.

She would occasionally see him in the news when he took Ada to events. It appeared that after she rejected him, he figured out whom he really liked and reconciled with Ada.

Silvia looked away calmly as she had no intention of greeting Ada. She walked toward the rest area with the water.

However, Ada was not willing to let her leave. She approached her and said, “Silvia, are you in need of money? Why are you doing such a lowly job?”

Silvia ignored her and continued walking forward.

“If you’re really in need of money, you can tell me. I can lend you some.”

Annoyed by Ada, Silvia turned to her coldly. “Stop it! You’re being annoying!”

Ada looked hurt. “Silvia, I’m doing this for your own good. It makes me sad to see you do such hard work.”

Silvia grew impatient. “Thank you, but I don’t need your help.”

Not wanting to deal with Ada any longer, she quickly walked forward and left her behind.

Ada did not chase after her. She had achieved her goal of humiliating Silvia.

“Neil, I don’t want to see Silvia do such hard work. Can you tell the staff of Williams Corporation to fire her? I’ll ask my parents to transfer some money to her tonight.”

Neil’s cold gaze fell on her, and he said, “Didn’t you come here to participate in the competition? It’s almost time.”

She was reluctant to give up, so she looked at him and continued, “Neil—”

“Ada, I’m accompanying you today only because of the favor I promised you before. Do whatever you want!” He cut her off impatiently.

Then, he left.

She felt frustrated and angry as she watched him leave.

Her first request was for him to accompany her to social events for the next three months. The goal was to familiarize potential business partners with her before Idris negotiated deals with them. Due to her connection with Neil, they would be cautious and not cause any trouble.

As Ada had expected, Pond Corporation successfully negotiated more business deals in the past two weeks than in the previous six months.
