A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 257

You better not try to stand out.

By the fifteenth minute, everyone was growing tired. Hesper sat on her luggage bag and guessed that

by that time, someone would probably be there to get them soon.

The second after that thought came to her mind, party poppers went off in the sky.

After some cheering, the shuttle buses showed up to get their bags while confetti floated to the ground.

Some fell on Hesper’s shoulder and hair. Celine looked at the confetti and her eyes were shining.

“It’s so pretty. It would be so nice if we could record it.”

Hesper looked at her, then smiled. “Don’t worry, someone is recording.”

The Lanes went all out on the budget. They prepared a luxurious hotel and the producers led them to

the concierge for keycard collection. Hesper and Celine were at the back of the group following along

at a casual pace.

Michelle was walking in front of the crowd, but when she saw the two hanging at the back, she slowed Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

down and fell back.

“Hello, Hesper.” Michelle greeted her then acted as if she had just seen Celine and beamed at her. “Oh,

Celine is here too. I haven’t seen you in so long since the other competition.”

Celine told the truth. “It’s only been half a month. Not that long.”

Hesper tried not to laugh, then spoke seriously like Celine. “It’s just been two weeks. Not too long.”

Michelle felt humiliated because she wasn’t expecting Hesper and Celine to be so blunt and tried to

cover for herself. “Well, people say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I’m so glad to see you

here.”

Celine nodded but didn’t speak. Hesper walked beside her and Michelle didn’t want to set herself up

again, so she walked quickly to the front and blended into the crowd.

“Hmm… why do I have a feeling that Michelle Sullivan is a little fake? I don’t think Celine Campbell

knew her very well previously.”

“Michelle knows number 23? Everyone seems to know someone except 23.”

“Michelle previously framed Celine. Why is she pretending to be her friend? Haha.”

“You’re all just haters. Michelle was the winner. She doesn’t need to play any games.”

“Michelle is the best!”

After everyone got their luggage, the organizer handed out reprogrammed phones. They couldn’t be

used for any form of communication, but everything else functions as usual.

“Can we transfer what we have on these phones to our phones after the competition?”

Hesper was curious as to why Celine asked that. Whether or not it was allowed, she had authority to

allow it, so she nodded. “Yes.”

“Great!” Celine smiled and looked happy. “I love taking pictures. This is such a beautiful place. After the

competition, I’ll at least get to bring something home with me.”

Hesper thought she had other ideas, but if it were just pictures, it wouldn’t be a problem at all, so she

nodded and stretched out her hand to pat her head.

It was so soft and nice to the touch.

Celine’s eyes were really clear and that made Hesper like her more.

Let’s go see our rooms.”
