Chapter 307 Believe in Rebecca

Chapter 307 Believe in Rebecca

Ever since that day when Gavin saw Esme's name on the contestant list on the "Dazzling Dreams" official website, throughout the entire holiday,he had felt like there was a fire burning inside him.
How dare she!

An accountant by training, just an amateur whohad taughtherself jewelry design halfway through, based on some hobby—who gave her the nerve to sign up for this kind of official competition?

His eyes fell on Rebecca's name, and he couldn't help but think of the questions she had raised at the Azure Water Bay exhibition hall that day.

Gavin felt like he was about to explode with anger.

After reading through all the competition requirements for participating studios and designers over and again
, Gavin finally found a reason to stop Esme from competing.

"My application form was rejected... Not only that, but our studio's qualification certification has also been changed to pending. Rebecca..."

Angry and resentful, Esme's voice choked with indignation, "What should we do? Once the studio's qualification is rejected, you won't be able to compete either. Rebecca, it's all my fault, I've dragged you down!"

In the previous competition, Gavin's registration form was prepared by Esme for him.

Those designers who loved design but didn't have their own works would register under other people's studios.

The lucky ones could usually compete smoothly, gain recognition, or even become famous overnight.

But more often, they were eliminated during the public announcement period.

There was only one possibility—during the public announcement period, designers without published personal works were maliciously reported by their peers.

Rebecca didn't have any work either.

But she was a jewelry design student at Empire University, and that alone proved she was qualified to compete.

As for Esme, all her past work experience was related to accounting, completely unrelated to jewelry design.

At first glance, she looked exactly like a rich kid trying to pad her resume.

Although there was no evidence, Esme felt that besides that despicable Gavin, it couldn't be anyone else.

"Esme, don't worry!"

Rebecca steadied herself and comforted her: "You adjust your mood and keep preparing your competition piece; don't let this affect you. Leave everything else to me!"

"Rebecca..."

Esme cried out in surprise.

Rebecca smiled calmly, "Esme, trust me!"

For Esme, with her application rejected, she was basically already eliminated.

And at this moment, she only had one last thought—don't drag Rebecca down with her.
But the voice on the other end of the phone was calm and composed, as if she could handle everything.

After hanging up, Esme stood by the window in a daze for quite a while.

She couldn't even remember when it got dark or what she had been thinking about.

Only one thought remained in Esme's mind: trust Rebecca.

Pushing all distracting thoughts out of her mind, when she returned to the workroom, Esme opened her computer and started a new round of busy work.

On the other side, at the Wallace Family villa, seeing that Rebecca's studio, which was still on the public list yesterday, had disappeared, Gavin immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

No work.

Only a nominal studio.

Getting Esme eliminated during the public announcement period was almost effortless.

She might even drag Rebecca down and cost her the qualification to compete.

Thinking that one phone call had eliminated two competitors, Gavin was in an excellent mood.

Getting up early to wash up, Gavin dressed in a suit and went to the studio.

When colleagues teased him about competing on the same stage as his ex-girlfriend, Gavin was momentarily confused.

Rushing back to his office and opening his computer, Gavin immediately saw Rebecca's studio back on the public list on the official website homepage.

How is this possible?

Gavin immediately called the competition organizer's complaint hotline.

However angry and frustrated Gavin was.

The voice on the other end was equally businesslike, "Hello, sir, the Dazzling Dreams competition does have restrictions and doesn't accept registrations from nominal designers. However, the Esme you complained about not only has her own portfolio, but also a recommendation letter from an industry expert, so she meets the competition registration requirements."

Where would Esme get a portfolio?

They were together for three years, and all those flashes of inspiration, those creative ideas or concepts of hers, had all been realized in his designs.

What portfolio could she possibly have?

As for that industry expert?

If she knew any experts, would she have stayed an accountant all this time?

She would have been introduced by that expert to a well-known and capable studio in the industry long ago. Would she need to hastily put together a studio with Rebecca?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Gavin argued his case.

The staff member on the other end seemed speechless, "Hello... hello sir, are you still there?... Sorry, the signal is bad, and I can't hear clearly. If you have any other needs, please feel free to call us during business hours. Thank you!"

The call was disconnected, and when he called back, it was just a busy signal.

Gavin fell silent.

When the warm coffee spilled all over the desk and dripped onto Gavin's brand new dress pants, at Rebecca's studio, Esme was hugging Rebecca, laughing and jumping.

Esme really didn't have work, but that was before she met Rebecca.

After meeting Rebecca and becoming part of Rebecca's studio, the two of them together, from morning till night every day, were breeding artistic bacteria.

Forget excellent works—she had a thick portfolio now.

The organizers could hold such a large-scale competition, and had held it for so many sessions, so naturally they could determine whether the works of Esme, this self-taught amateur hobbyist, were qualified for the competition.

Not to mention, Rebecca had also asked Patrick to write a recommendation letter for Esme.

Originally, Rebecca thought she'd have to sweet-talk Patrick quite a bit, since she was famously strict in professional design matters.

But after looking at Esme's portfolio, Rebecca had just started her speech when Patrick readily agreed.

With a portfolio.

With a recommendation letter from a professional.

Esme's registration form was quickly approved.

Along with that, Rebecca's studio's pending status was also removed.

Unless Gavin could find other grounds for complaint, otherwise, for the 19th Dazzling Dreams Jewelry Design Competition, Rebecca and Esme were definitely in!

"Rebecca, thank you!"

With dark circles under her eyes and tears in them, Esme never dreamed that what seemed to her like an impossible situation had been so easily resolved by Rebecca.

Rebecca smiled, then, thinking of something, winked at Esme, "Esme, I've always firmly believed that bad deeds bring consequences. Do you agree?"

Although she didn't know what was about to happen, just looking at Rebecca's expression, she knew it would definitely be satisfying.

Esme nodded, "I believe it!"

"Tomorrow night at seven!"

Rebecca handed Esme an invitation.
