Chapter 398
What was she seeing? Ms. Norwood was actually sitting in Miss L’s seat. Was this real life, or was she just dreaming?
Marissa, Gavin, and the rest of the group looked just as stunned. They kept glancing at Lydia and the nameplate in front of her, but the more they checked, the more speechless they became.
Oh wow. This was unreal. Was it possible that the Miss L they had all admired for so long was actually their own Ms. Norwood?
Suddenly, everything made sense to Marissa. Now she understood how Lydia, so young, could run Greenward Power and turn the whole company around. She wasn’t just talented, she was a hidden genius. No wonder their design team had improved so much after just two training sessions with Ms. Norwood. She was the founder of LYLX, Miss L herself. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs.net
Gavin couldn’t hold back anymore. “No way,” he blurted, his favorite catchphrase slipping out before he could stop it. “Ms. Norwood is Miss L? Seriously? My mind is blown. How are we supposed to compete with that?”
They had always thought it was impressive enough that Ms. Norwood managed the company so well at her age, but this was next level. She wasn’t just talented, she was a legend, like someone blessed by fate.
Sierra and Sharee were just as shaken. It really felt like their whole world had flipped upside down. Ms. Norwood was sitting in Miss L’s chair?
Sharee stared, not trusting her own eyes. She edged closer to Sierra and
whispered, “Sierra, isn’t that Ms. Norwood from Greenward Power? Why is she in Miss L’s seat?”
Sierra snapped out of her daze and glanced at Sharee. “Why do you think she’s sitting there?”
Sharee looked like she was about to cry. This had to be the unluckiest day of her life. She’d offended someone way out of her league.
Sierra never would have guessed that Lydia was actually Miss L. It was unbelievable. For them, this was practically a nightmare.
She glanced over at the first judge’s seat, where Blake was sitting, and pressed her hands against her chest, trying to calm her racing. heart Blake. The guy she’d been crushing on forever If only Blake could step in to help. But how could she get him to notice her?
Meanwhile, the audience vote was done. Evalina was in first place, Amelia from France was second, Jenny was third, and Marissa was fourth Gavin and Elisha landed at seventh and ninth Sierra, somehow, was in fifth place, and Sharee had dropped all the way to twentieth.
Now, everything depended on how the eleven professional judges would vote.
Blake was in the first seat, and the host called his name.
“Next, let’s have our number one judge, Blake Norwood, cast his vote.”
The judges always voted in order, one through eleven. Lydia was always last, since her expertise was on another level. They saved her vote for the end to keep things fair and prevent the other judges from just copying her.
Lydia was pretty happy with how Jenny and the others had done, especially Jenny and Marissa. Ranking so high among so many talented designers was no small feat.
She was still going over the designs in her mind when she heard the host mentioend Blake Norwood’s name Wait, Blake Norwood? Was his last name Norwood too? What were the odds? She hadn’t even looked at the other nameplates when she arrived, since she always sat in the last seat. She tried to lean forward to see who Blake was, but there were just too many people in the way.
