With that, she glanced smugly at Eleanor before walking out confidently and elegantly.
Eleanor followed the third place on stage with a calm heart.
Zoey held the crystal trophy, shaped like a diamond, and expressed her gratitude. When she spoke about the heartfelt moments, she even shed tears.
“Thank you, Ms. Whitney, for giving me the opportunity to intern at such a prestigious studio. Besides that, I also want to thank my fiancé, Elijah. He has always supported me unwaveringly.”
Thunderous applause erupted.
Zoey smiled at Eleanor..
These words were meant for her.
Eleanor looked at the audience blankly as she took the heavy trophy in her hands.
She felt suffocated as if an invisible hand grabbed her neck.

Eleanor lifted her head and smiled at the audience below, not just for them, but also for the owner of those deep, dark eyes, Elijah.

He could even hear the murmured jokes from the men beside him, discussing how they would ask for Eleanor’s phone number later.
With a cold glance, he swept his eyes over them and they immediately fell silent.
As the competition neared its end, Zoey excitedly walked toward the interview area, eager to let the whole world know she had won.
But just as she took her first step, Mandy’s voice echoed through the hall.
“Wait a minute. I have another announcement to make. Since the contestants in this. competition have shown exceptional talent, my team and I have decided that the top three. will all be given the opportunity to intern at our studio. We look forward to seeing more outstanding jewelry designers in the future.”
The moment the words fell, Eleanor hesitated for a second, wondering if she had misheard.
It wasn’t until Haven, the third–place winner, let out an excited scream that Eleanor finally realized she had earned an internship at Mandy’s studio.
Some were overjoyed, while others were disappointed.
Zoey, who had expected to be the only one, now stood frozen, her face pale with anger. Her nails dug so hard into the trophy that they nearly left marks.
Unwilling to accept it, she protested, “Ms. Whitney, didn’t you say only the first–place winner would qualify for your studio?”
Mandy glanced at her calmly and replied, “I only said that the first–place winner would definitely be accepted. I never said they would be the only one. You were all too outstanding. making the decision difficult for me. But with your abilities, I’m sure you have nothing to worry about.”

A few seconds later, Zoey lifted a bright smile. “You’re right, Ms. Whitney. I’m not worried at all.”
“That’s good. Why don’t we take a photo together?” Mandy offered, not giving Zoey a chance. to refuse. Then, she called out to the audience, Elijah, would you like to join us?”
The moment Zoey realized Eleanor would be in the photo too, she quickly interrupted, “Ms. Whitney, let’s not trouble him. Elijah doesn’t like taking pictures…
“Okay. Elijah interrupted Zoey and slowly stepped onto the stage..
The moment the reporters saw him join, they rushed forward, nearly causing chaos.
Everyone on stage tactfully assumed he was doing this for Zoey, so they automatically made space for the two of them at the center.
Eleanor had no interest in being associated with them. But when she noticed Haven staring eagerly at the open spot next to Elijah, she immediately understood
She might not be after Elijah himself, but standing beside him in the photo would make the picture go viral, giving her a chance to gain some publicity.
