Chapter 48 Make Her Happy
The contestants were feeling motivated after seeing what kind of prizes awaited the winner.
When they were gathering in the other
hall, Joan shook the people around her off and sat beside Luna, smiling. For once in her life, she politel
y said, “These designers can’t win. I bet you’re taking that diamond home with you, Ms. Alana.”
Luna felt everyone looking at her–
there were hostile gazes, looks of scorn, or even looks of challenge. She suspected that Joan was tryin
g to turn everyone against them.
Top Designer was a show designed for new designers. Aside from the big shots in the panel of mentors
, everyone else was just
regular designers. Still, this was a show made by East Joy. A big shot might have been hidden amongst
them.
Luna was about to say something, but Joan’s sycophants cut in quickly.
“You know, we should be envying you instead. That’s an expensive diamond, but Mr. Graham still used
it as a prize just for you.”
“Yeah. Even if Alana does win it, the diamond still remains a thing that Mr. Graham used to make you h
appy.”
Luna and Abigail froze, and Luna gave Abigail a look that said, ‘Sean sponsored that diamond?‘
Abigail shook her head. She had no idea about this, but it was possible that Sean would do this
just to boost Joan into famedom.
Since Abigail wasn’t saying anything, Luna blurted, “Oh, so the ba–
I mean, Mr. Graham sponsored that?”
Joan didn’t like that the diamond was being put up as a prize, but she still felt happy, and she put on a s
heepish smile. “I’m surprised he would do that. He didn’t tell me about it.”
Everyone played along. “Hey, he invested in this show. He bought the whole hotel and resort the shoot
is happening in, and all just for Joan! She’s going to win this show easily. I envy whoever gets to be on
her team.”
Luna snapped, “What the he-”
Abigail covered her mouth and smiled at everyone politely. “Sorry, but my boss is feeling peckish.
Once they were away from the crowd, Luna grumbled, “Why did you stop me? That b*tch was looking s This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
o smug, I can’t believe she’s showing off her affair!”
One of the better parts of this show was that everyone was treated fairly, Designers, assistants, and cel
ebrities? They were all the same. Even their seats were joined,
Abigail held Luna’s hand and pulled her to
their seats, “I wouldn’t have stopped you, but the cameras were pointed at you and you looked like a wi
tch”
That distracted Luna. Realizing that this was a live show, she quickly massaged her cheeks, “Really? T
hen I must look really ugly, Good thing you stopped me, because I would have said something that wou
ld make even a sailor blush.” That, and Twitter’s going to cancel me.
She hunched over a little. “First day on the job, and I already want to quit. You’re a lot more patient
than I am.”
Abigail said calmly, “Even if the public knows I’m Sean’s wife, they’re just going to say I’m not worthy of
that spot. The only way to prove them wrong is to show
them what we got. Arguing with them never works. Besides, I’m going to get a divorce anyway. I wasn’t
going to get anything, but
now I have a chance at the diamond. It’s a stroke of luck.”
Luna’s eyes glinted. “True. Once you make a name for yourself, you can expose Joan’s true colors. On
ce we have fame and justice on our side, she’s going to be canceled too. And that jack’ss called
Sean can cat sh*t.”
That’s not what I meant. Abigail didn’t explain, though. She asked Sean to help her out so she
wouldn’t sabotage him, because if he were to pull his support out, she would be done for. Still, it
was really mortifying to hear Joan boasting so much. I have to win. Even if it’s not for Grandma, I
have to do it for my dignity. I’ll smack Sean’s face with the diamond.
The behind–the–scenes footage was given to Kevin for evaluation. After Kevin watched it, he sent it
to Sean and embellished the story a little. This woman is more than meets the eye. I can see how she
managed to hook up with you.‘
She had been hyping up her relationship with Sean even when the show was in its early days of promo
tion, which he had noticed. Still, he didn’t stop it, given that it would help the show’s ratings. If Joan stay
ed in her line, he would boost her to fame for Sean’s sake.
Sean texted back, ‘Think before you speak next time, or else!
Kevin leaned in his
chair and crossed his legs on his desk. With one hand, he texted back, ‘So what’s your deal with her? A
n old flame rekindled?”
Sean texted curtly, ‘Shut it.’
Kevin texted quickly, ‘Okay, so that’s not the case. Your wife, I mean your ex, is going to join the show,
and you’re letting Joan start a whole scandal? No wonder Abigail wanted a divorce.’
Kevin sent him a snapshot and added, ‘Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but any woman who can stay calm
when her husband’s involved in an affair either can’t be bothered with him, or they’re up to
something big. You’d better be careful.
When Damon was summoned to sort out the footage, the screen was showing the scene where
everyone was buttering up to Joan. Happily, he said, “Mr. Stewart, I put Ms. Palmer and Alana on
the same team to boost her fame even further. The lots
were rigged. Once the show starts and Mr. Graham finds out we made
sure Ms. Palmer would win this competition, he’s going to be so
delighted.”
