After about forty minutes, Sharon began sketching.
People who were nervous outside breathed a sigh of relief.
Jameson, in his seat crossing his legs, watched Sharon calmly.
Sharon didn't plan to make something new.
She decided to use a work she had done before.
A necklace, one of her works, was gone at the charity dinner held by the Morton family.
And the theme of this competition was simple: There wasn't any theme.
From the rules through the procedures to the final now, the whole competition required its participants
to think outside the square, and be bold and innovative.
That meant everything the participants submitted could be accepted.
As for the pocket watch necklace, it hadn't been shown in public except for Lance.
If anyone disagreed with her using this necklace as entry, it meant that the necklace was stolen by him.
Sharon did make some minor changes, but it was difficult for others to tell the difference other than
herself.
Three hours later, Sharon finished sketching and took a little breath.
After the staff took the entries, Sharon and the others left their rooms.
The judges also stood up and then went to the meeting room.
Before Sofia left, she looked at Sharon and snorted.
She seemed to be saying that she would teach Sharon a lesson later.
Natalia was much calmer.
She was careful about her image all the time, wearing an arrogant look on her face.
As Sharon was about to look for Jameson, she saw that he was sitting in the reporter area, while all the
reporters were standing in a corner.
They looked around, trying to be invisible.
Sharon was puzzled.
Jameson approached her and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Why do they..."
Jameson said slowly, "Maybe it was uncomfortable for them to be sedentary"
After a pause, he took Sharon's hand and said, "Forget it.Let's get something to eat"
Sharon was really hungry now, but she said, "The competition is not over yet."
Jameson replied, "It will take an hour for the result to come out.Don't waste your time"
That made sense.
"Then let's go."
When they left, there was a stir among the crowd there.
They thought that Sharon was confident about this competition.
However, Sharon wasn't confident about it.
She just thought that since the work had been submitted, and there was nothing else she could do, she
had better have lunch first and then go back for the result.
During lunch, Sharon asked, "How is Ruben?"
Jameson was filling her water glass, "He is fine.He can do everything for himself."
"I was asking if he had recovered..."
"Of course.He wasn't beaten, OK? It was someone else."
That made Sharon frown, "Bridger is still missing?"
Jameson said, "If it was that easy to find him, he'd be dead by now"
Sharon paused for a while and did not deny it.
Jameson added, "I've said that you don't need to be worried.I will take care of it"
"But you're in a mess."
"What?"
"I know you have to take care of the Proctor family's business these days"
Otherwise, Jameson wouldn't be so busy.
Hearing this, Jameson smiled, "There is nothing new.I have been used to them"
All he had to do was to call a board meeting and make some unreasonable demands.
It sounded pretty simple, but Sharon knew that it was not simple at all.
After a while, she said, "Charlotte..."
Jameson looked up at her, "What?"
"Nothing, '' Sharon turned her head, "I want to ask you, can we visit her when we're free?"
"Sure."
That question was just a ploy, but Sharon didn't expect Jameson to be so generous.
She didn't know what to say.
After a pause, she went on, "What did Ruben do the last two days? Did he stay at home all the time?"
Jameson said, "He came home late and left early"
She was puzzled.
"What for?"
"Don't worry.Nothing bad happened."
Jameson sounded relaxed, so Sharon knew that there was no need to be worried.
With the lesson from last time and Jameson's putting eyes on him, Ruben would not get into troubles
again.
When they finished dinner and went back, they had to wait 15 more minutes before the result came
out.
Just as Sharon sat down, some reporters came and asked her questions.
Many people thought either Sharon or Rita would be the winner.
Especially, Sharon was backed up by Jameson.
Everybody thought that the she could be the winner for Jameson' sake.
So Sharon was the most likely winner.
For this reason, all the reporters rushed to interview her.
Sharon smiled and replied politely, "Let's talk after we see the result."
If she wasn't the winner, it would be humiliated for her to talk with those reporters.
After being turned down, the reporters all left disappointedly.
Jameson asked her in a low voice, "Are you not confident?"
"I just want to keep a low profile" Sharon said slowly, "Besides, if I didn't win, it's not because of me.It's
your fault."
Jameson was confused.
Sharon said, "I heard that people from wealthy families are very close to each other, especially those
socialites.They like afternoon tea and SPA, right?"
"Yes"
"Then, do you think the two women you've offended will reach out to others and target me together?"
Jameson pursed his thin lips and said after a few seconds, "One was offended by you."
Sharon snorted.
Jerk.
Jameson held her hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you lose or not.At worst, I'll feed you."
Sharon ignored him, took out her phone, and texted Tiffany back.
Whatever the result was going to be, Sharon did the best she could.
So she had told everyone in the studio that they would go to dinner together today after the
competition.
Sharon thought for a moment, then she texted Giana to ask if she was available tonight.
