A look of panic appeared on Lucy's face as she felt a shiver down her spine, but she was able to quickly suppress it.
She lowered her head to hide the gloomy look in her eyes as she asked, “Are you saying that my design looks
similar to hers?”
The participant nodded. “That's right. You showed me one of your works when I spoke to you yesterday,
remember? You said Madam Diana complimented your work and made an exception to allow you to participate in
the competition. While your works are indeed impressive, the design is very similar to Natalie's.”
“I-Is that so?” Lucy clenched her fists.
D*mn it! All I did was steal the design of an unpopular blogger and use it to enter the competition! Why would it
look similar to Natalie's design? I looked up Natalie's design before submitting my entry, and I don't remember it
looking anything like the design I stole!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Lucy wasn't actually a costume designer, it was only natural that she couldn't see the resemblance.
Believing the participant's words completely, Lucy grew incredibly nervous as all sorts of thoughts raced through
her mind.
Why would our designs be similar? Could it be that the blogger was actually Natalie? No, that can't be right. Natalie
would've said something if she was the blogger! This resemblance must be a mere coincidence!
“What's on your mind, Lucy?” the participant asked curiously when she saw Lucy lower her head in silence.
Lucy quickly suppressed her thoughts and replied with a smile, “Oh, it's nothing! I was just a little surprised to find
out that my design is similar to Natalie's, that's all! I never realized that until now!”
“How is that possible? You know Ms. Smith, don't you? How could you have not noticed that before?” the participant
asked in confusion.
Lucy waved at her and said, “I do know her, but she doesn't really know me, so... Well, you know how it is!”
Instead of providing the participant with a proper answer, she left her with an ambiguous statement instead.
Huh? What does she mean by that? What am I supposed to know? For some reason, I feel there's something off
about Lucy's attitude toward Ms. Smith...
The participant tilted her head in confusion at the thought of that.
“Well, that's a real shame. I was hoping you'd be able to get me introduced to Ms. Smith, but you two aren't even
close. Never mind, then. I'll try my best to enter Ms. Smith's team when we get divided into teams. I really like her
work, and I'm sure I'll improve tremendously with her guidance!” said the participant confidently with her fists
clenched.
Lucy forced a smile at her in response and kept quiet as she shifted her gaze back toward Natalie.
Natalie was having a conversation with a designer when she felt someone staring at her. She paused and turned
around, her eyes meeting Lucy's instantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucy did not expect Natalie to detect her gaze so quickly, so her sudden response sent a shiver down her spine.
However, that only lasted a few seconds. Lucy quickly regained her composure and responded with a provocative
glare.
Oh? Trying to taunt me and assert dominance, is she? Lucy sure is an amusing one, I'll give her that! I'm surprised a
copycat who got in by stealing someone else's work could actually be so confident in herself! Wait, is Lucy seriously
planning on using stolen designs for the subsequent rounds in this competition? If yes, that'd be the biggest mistake
she has ever made! We will all be given a theme to base our design on for each round, so we can't just use any
random design we have! I bet Lucy will actually do just that! Heh, as expected of an outsider. She's trying so hard to
force her way into this without even knowing the rules of the competition. What a joke! I'll look forward to seeing
the panic on Lucy's face when she finds out about the theme for the next round! Let's see if she can steal another
design that matches the theme!
With that in mind, Natalie arched an eyebrow at Lucy and flashed her a mocking grin.
