A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 415

“Guys, let’s take a break.” Pennleigh came over and clapped his hands. “There’s no need to be so

nervous. It’s just another regular bidding; don’t worry too much. Oh, and River, can you come with me

for a moment?”

“Sure.”

Evon watched as the two went away from the corner of the room and turned his head away. His gaze

then landed on Hesper’s dress, which was hanging on a mannequin in another corner of the communal

space, feeling a little jealous deep down.

“Did something happen?” Hesper followed Pennleigh and caught up to him with a puzzled expression.

“You usually keep a distance from me in the studio to avoid arousing suspicion… Something must’ve

gone wrong for you to look for me all of a sudden.”

Pennleigh looked a little helpless. “Mr. Sanchez wants me to convey a message to you. Have you not

even taken a glimpse at your phone all this time? He couldn’t reach you, so he had to come to me.”

“Huh?” Hesper was really busy with her design before, so she did not have the time to look at her

phone. She instantly lowered her head and saw that Roberto had sent her a lot of messages.

It was about their meeting with Stephen this weekend to get her face re-disguised. Before Hesper could

finish reading the message, however, her model suddenly ran to her from not far away.

“River!”

“Slow down… What’s the matter?” Hesper turned her head around, saw the model’s distressed face,

and immediately sensed that something had gone wrong.

Sure enough, the model caught up to her and said anxiously, “River, something happened to your

work!”

“What?”

Hesper and Pennleigh exchanged glances, then followed the model backstage, only to see that the

gown that was in good condition a few minutes ago had been splashed with a large amount of ink,

which spread from the back of the waist down to the hem of the dress. Tthere was no room for any

form of remediation.

Pennleigh took a step forward and frowned when he saw that the dress had been damaged to this

extent. His expression turned cold. “What happened here? Who did this?”

Compared to Pennleigh’s reaction, Hesper was much calmer. She just stood on the spot and stared at

the gown without saying a single word.

The person who did it had not even thought about showing her any mercy. The ink stains spread from

the waistline to the bottom of the gown, covering one-third of the dress, including the flowers that

Hesper embroidered. All the effort that she had invested into the dress during those long nights was

flushed down the drain.

The culprit obviously knew where the most precious and labor-intensive part of her design was,

which is why he chose to ruin that part of the gown.

It’s obvious he or she wants me out of the bidding session.”

“What should we do now…?” The model could not help but feel anxious. After all, this appearance In

front of the crowd was very important to her too. She had thought that Hesper’s design was so

gorgeous that it would definitely be favored by the management, but it seemed that it was over

now.

Hesper pondered for a moment then turned to look at Pennleigh. “Could you get me some black ink

and brushes?”

Although Pennleigh did not know what she was going to do, he nodded.

Pennleig was fast. After getting the ink and brush from him, Hesper did not say much but immediately

took the dress off the mannequin and started painting on the skirt with the brush.

“This is nothing more than grandstanding,” Evon said sarcastically.

Hearing that, Hesper only glared at him then ignored him to continue painting.

As time went by, a Halwanese painting gradually appeared out of the ink stains.

The model could not help but marvel at the landscape painting that appeared on the skirt at the end of

the process. “You’re so fabulous!”

The original embroidery was faintly reflected within the black strokes because of the special nature of

the silk thread. Seeing this, the other designers were in awe, while Pennleigh, who did not expect that ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Hesper would resolve this crisis so easily, heaved a sigh of relief and nodded to her.

The model then changed into a dress on time and made a stunning appearance on the stage.

Everyone was amazed by the design. While everyone else was staring at the runway, Hesper scanned

the people around her and saw that Evon’s expression looked extremely irritated.
