However, this meant that the designers would not have time for a vacation. They would be
kept busy for the next few days, as all the competition would end in a week.
The emotionally aggravated designers gradually calmed down and sat back down after
hearing the organizers' explanation.
They still had a good chance of winning a place in the World Games opening ceremony
even though the competition was finishing early. Hence, they might as well have the
competition brought forward.
Besides, the designers crossed paths frequently and were well aware of each other's
standards, style, and positions within the international design industry. They were
therefore rivals as well as friends.
They had long desired to compete against one another to see whose skill was better, but
they could not hold any private competitions since the competition among the participants
had not ended. Otherwise, their qualifications for the competition would be revoked if

The designers had been suppressing their urge to compete with everyone as they got
along with eath other. Deep down, they had been itching to compete with everyone.
Naturally, the designers were thrilled that the competition between them had been
brought forward.
Natalie and Lina looked at each other and smiled.
“That's great, Nat. We can also compete against each other now,” Lina exclaimed
excitedly, as she grabbed Natalie's hands.
Natalie gave a dip of her head. “Yeah.”
“Let's be on the same team.” As Lina said this, she turned to look at the two designers
from not far away. “That's Ashlyn Myler, the most famous jewelry designer in Jetroina.
She's very popular with the rich ladies in her country. It is said that she holds a very high
position in the jewelry industry in her country and that her designs are full of spiritual
influence. She and I are known as the Twin Stars in Aploth.”
“Did the title of Twin Stars emerge from Jetroina?” Natalie tilted his head.
She remembered reading about it in a magazine, which was Lina's.
Lina nodded. “That's right. I'm embarrassed to hear the title of the Twin Stars of Aploth
because it's so childish. However, Jetroinian love these kinds of strange and cheesy titles
the most. Ashlyn is pretty concerned about this title. She stopped me some time ago and
said she didn't want to be known as the Twin Stars with me. Ashlyn said she wanted to be
the brightest star. Hence, she wanted to compete with me after the participants'
competition ended to see which of the Twin Stars is more skilled. The loser will publicly
declare that she is not deserving to be the Twin Stars.”
“She actually challenged you like that?” Natalie was surprised.
She had not heard Lina mention it before.
Lina snorted. “Indeed, neither she nor I am interested in sharing the title of the Twin Stars

and who will be the one to renounce the title of the Twin Stars. Nat, we must not lose to
their team. We must get on the list for designing the outfit and jewelry of the World
Games opening ceremony.”
As she said that, resolve and certainty was written all over her face.
Seeing her serious expression, Natalie nodded with a smile. “Okay, we have to win.”
“Definitely!” Lina raised her fist.
Natalie, too, clasped her fist and bumped it against Lina's fist. The deal was sealed.
After the meeting, the two of them packed up and prepared to leave.
The participants had left since today's competition was canceled. Thus, the judges had no
reason to stay.
Moreover, they were competitors rather than judges today. They had to go back and
prepare for tomorrow's competition.
Someone called out to them just when the two of them walked out of the competition hall.
It was Ashlyn, the one Lina had mentioned in their conversation earlier.
