Chapter 662
“You nailed it! But, how did you know? Don’t tell me… you, you almost married Annick, didn’t you?”
“Mhm.”
“…You’re really straightforward”
After a while, Damon’s message finally arrived.
“I miss you.”
For the past week, Chloe had been wearing an aloof expression. But now, a blush was slowly creeping up her
cheeks.
Suddenly, she was filled with a longing for him.
She missed his familiar scent, the warmth of his embrace, the sound of his whispers in her ear, him…
Her heart started pounding wildly and it felt like her blood was getting hotter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith her hand over her heart, Chloe stayed quiet for a moment before slowly typing out a reply.
“I miss you too.”
Damon stared at the message on his phone screen. The corners of his mouth curled up into a small smile, but his
eyes gradually becoming more solemn.
The next day, the venue for the finals was a quaint town filled with European appeal. The competition was held in
an adjacent hall.
The judges for the final competition weren’t entirely unfamiliar to Chloe. After all, she had competed in two
competitions before. Although the judges had changed, she was familiar with them.
For example, Allan was one of the judges during the domestic selection. And the other three judges also recognized
her, since she was a two–time champion. They certainly knew who she was.
When they saw Chloe, the judges were somewhat excited. They were clearly anticipating what kind of amazing
performance she would deliver this year.
Especially Allan, who was the most thrilled. Chloe’s domestic performance had been enough to win his approval!
Perhaps he had heard about her identity from the other judges, which made him even more excited. Moreover, he
was one of the people who knew her secret!
When Chloe entered the venue, she noticed Allan’s reaction and nodded at him. Keira, following closely behind her,
saw her interaction with Allan and couldn’t help but frown.
She felt incredibly uncomfortable and worried.
She remembered how Allan had publicly accused her of being shameless back in their country, and Chloe’s
malicious translation that embarrassed her. She thought she wouldn’t have to deal with a prejudiced judge in the
finals. But there he was!
She couldn’t help but worry, afraid that Allan would be biased against her when it was time to give the competitors
scores.
But with so many judges and this being an international competition, it should be fair, right?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn’t need any tricks now. The recipe she had in her hands was enough to secure her a good ranking.
The flow of the final competition remained the same. Like previous years, all she needed to do was complete her
work.
The host excitedly introduced the competition process, and then officially announced the start of the competition.
Having conducted numerous experiments based on that formula, which her mentor had praised, Keira was full of
confidence. Although the steps and process on the formula were very complex, she managed to finish her work
before Chloe.
The formula Chloe mentioned earlier, barring any surprises, should be the same as her formula today, or slightly
modified based on it. But the basic principle was always the
same.
Finishing her work before Chloe would be advantageous for her when the time came.
She turned her head to look at Chloe. Seeing her busy at work, a smirk appeared at the corner of Keira’s lips. She
held her head high, holding the product she had just made in her hand. She walked towards the judges‘ table…
