Chapter 364 Collaboration
"The final is about to start in three minutes; let us anticipate the winner of today!"
With the eager and passionate voice of the host, everyone was getting overly excited, and the internet in all the countries was also overloaded.
"Why is social media lagging? I can't enjoy it while it's like this; can someone please save the internet?"
Susan walked up to Leah, and she finally took her seriously for the first time. She said sternly, "Whether you're winning or not, I promise to cooperate with you."
"But I'll be the sole winner in this competition; this is my honor as the heir of the Victor family."
Leah did not have stage fright; she smiled faintly and said, "Let's see."
She chose the theme of her design in order to prove to the world and the Victor family her talent.
The final commenced and lasted six hours; it was already afternoon when it ended, and the sky turned dark with a cold wind blowing.
Everyone was discussing who would be the winner; the majority guessed Susan would win.
"Of course the winner will be Susan; don't tell me someone actually thinks Sarah will win."
"Well, it's a fact that Sarah can be as good as Susan."
The host announced the result by saying, "The long-awaited winner is... Sarah!"
Everyone was dumbfounded and shocked hearing the announcement; the chat room in the live broadcast was filled with question marks.
"It's not even a tie? Does Ms. Victor actually lose?"
"I don't believe it! Does Mr. Ford buy this title for Sarah?"
"Hello? The Victor family is even richer, right? Who's the one that said he would eat sh*t while doing a handstand if Sarah won?"
Susan could not believe the result. Why hadn't I come across such a talented designer before this?
After a long time, she finally accepted reality. She went to Leah with a sullen face, and she said, "I would like to admit defeat. From today onward, you'll be the chief designer of HJ Corporation!"
"Thank you." Leah was calm and composed.
Many people were amused by her calmness.
"She looks so calm and steady, as if she knows that she'll win from the beginning!"
"I'm in love! She's pretty and talented!"
Shawn stepped forward, holding a bouquet of flowers, and he said, "Sarah, congratulations."
The gorgeous red roses stood out in the winter of Qustraebar, and once again she was a hot search on the internet. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Mr. Ford gave his wife roses."
"Mr. Ford and his gorgeous wife; they're so sweet!"
"Sarah, please don't have any relations with those old men; Mr. Ford is perfect for you!"
There were many cameras surrounding them; Leah did not want to embarrass Shawn, so she took the flowers and said, "Thank you; let's go back."
She was in Qustraebar for too long; it was time to go back to Carlotta.
Shawn brought her away, and all of the reporters were making their departure too. But the topic related to the two of them was hot everywhere.
It even boosted Ford Group's stock!
Han watched the whole live broadcast with a gloomy expression.
The old castle was even more eerie with him getting upset; the servant was trembling behind him. "Mr. Hendrik… What's your next move?"
He looked at the cover of the broadcast; it was the moment where Shawn gave Leah flowers. Han was
devastated, and he sneered, "Why is she with Ford now? Is she getting back together with him?"
The servant paused and replied, "N-No... I have investigated this matter."
"After you took care of Ms. White and left, Shawn arrived soon after; she thought he was the one looking after her."
Han was getting even more frustrated, and he frowned impatiently. "She's so stupid. How could she recognize the wrong person?"
He was restless, knowing that Shawn had benefited from his actions.
Soon, he turned and looked at the servant. "Has she recovered from her cold?"
"She isn't fully recovered; she should take the medicine for one more day." The servant was shocked; Hendrik had never ever paid so much attention to any woman before.
Han frowned and said, "Give me your phone."
The servant was confused, but he handed him the phone obediently. Seeing that Han did not have any requests anymore, the servant went out to get a new phone.
Han contacted Leah with the servant's phone. "Remember to take your medicine."
It was late at night when Leah got off the plane with Shawn.
She looked at the text on her phone, and she was extremely shocked.
Could it be that someone else took care of me yesterday?
Leah cast Shawn a complicated look, and she asked, "H-hey... Did you only come to my hotel room this morning?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Shawn nodded.
She did not answer him; she smiled perfunctorily at him. After Shawn sent her back to the studio, she said, "Thank you for sending me back."
Shawn did not know that her mind had changed; he waved her goodbye and went back.
On the way, he was smirking nonstop. His assistant asked, "Mr. Ford, shouldn't you go full-on on Ms. White now?"
"She seems to like you now; it's the perfect time for you to win her heart. If we can restart our program... then…"
Leah returned to the studio; Serena, Lucy, and all the other workers were waiting for her to hold a celebration for her.
There was a lot of scrumptious food on the table, and the air was filled with the mellow aroma of wine.
"Congratulations to our studio chief on becoming the chief designer of HJ Corporation! And thanks for making the collaboration between Dream Designed and HJ Corporation happen!"
Serena raised her wine glass happily. Everything is getting better!
At this rate, Sarah must be able to get back on her feet! She will be able to let go of the past and live on!
Leah could never let go of what happened in the past.
She simply ate something, and she felt that she had a headache. She simply gave a speech and some encouraging words to everyone, and she went back to her room.
She took out her phone and stared at the message; she did not know what to feel.
Who cares about my welfare so much?
After a while, she still trembled as she replied to the text message. "Excuse me, who are you?"
She was uneasy after sending out the text. Her phone vibrated once she sat down in the office chair.
"Hendrik."
She was shocked seeing this name; she was nervous until she was sweating uncontrollably.
Hendrik! It's him?
"Why do you take care of me and help me so much?"
She was uneasy; she always thought that people helped with motives.
There was no reason for Hendrik to help out a stranger like her.
She instinctively thought of the worst.
Hendrik replied to her shortly. "Should you thank me first?"
She froze at his words. Why is he so familiar? He talks like Han.
"Thank you." She totally forgot about questioning him. She thought he would not reply to her again.
Unexpectedly, he texted her after a short while. "Have you taken the medicine yet?"
