Rosalynn sat quietly in her seat, listening to the design concepts presented by one company after
another.
ALL the companies participating in the bidding were formidable, and their design portfolios showcased
their distinct styles.

Finally, it was her turn. Rosalynn looked at Maggie encouragingly.
Maggie took a deep breath, then stood up and took her place in front of everyone. She bowed, then
