Chapter 403

Chapter 403:

“What’s the current situation?” Sadie asked, striving to keep her voice steady despite her urgency.

“It’s the same. We can’t cancel the registration!” Nanette responded, close to tears. “We don’t even have time to prepare for the International Jewelry Design Competition, and we haven’t even completed the first draft for our partnership with the Lawrence Group!”

She gestured to the scattered design drafts, her voice laden with despair. “Look at this mess. All these were preparations for the partnership, and now everything’s in disarray!”

Sadie surveyed the studio, noting the chaos—a testament to the stress Nanette had been under.

Approaching a table, Sadie picked up a few drafts and studied them carefully.

“These designs are quite innovative. You’ve clearly been working hard on them,” she said, her voice softening as she sought to comfort Nanette.

“But there’s no time to refine them now!” Nanette’s voice broke slightly. “The International Jewelry Design Competition is just a month away. We’re not going to be ready!”

Sadie set the drafts back down, inhaled deeply, and fixed Nanette with a determined gaze.

“We’ll tackle both challenges together. We’ll manage both the partnership project and the International Jewelry Design Competition,” Sadie declared.

“Both?” Nanette looked at her, incredulous.

“How can that be feasible? There are only three of us, and we have just one month to complete two major projects. It’s impossible!”

Sadie stepped closer, placing her hands reassuringly on Nanette’s shoulders.

“Nothing is impossible. Nanette, trust in me and in yourself. We’ve pulled through countless challenges and all-nighters together. We can do this too.”

Seeing the resolve in Sadie’s eyes, Nanette let her panic ebb away. She nodded firmly, wiped away her tears, and her voice steadied.

“Alright. We’ll tackle both projects! If we need to, we’ll pull a few more all-nighters!”

A faint smile appeared on Sadie’s lips, a bright spot in the cluttered studio.

“First, let’s reorganize our schedule.”

Sadie grabbed a pen and a blank sheet of paper and began quickly outlining a plan.

“We need to complete the first draft for the partnership with the Lawrence Group within two weeks. Then we can make revisions and improvements. The last two weeks will be dedicated entirely to preparing for the International Jewelry Design Competition.”

Nanette joined her at the table, her brows furrowing as she took in the ambitious schedule Sadie was sketching out.

“Two weeks for the first draft? That’s incredibly tight!”

“I know it’s a tight schedule, but we have to make it work. We need to maximize every minute, enhance our efficiency, and ensure we work seamlessly as a team.”

“Alright!” Nanette agreed, her resolve renewed.

With renewed vigor, Sadie and Nanette began to organize the scattered design drafts, sorting them according to the respective projects.

As they worked, they discussed their immediate next steps, the studio buzzing with a blend of tension and the dynamic energy of urgent work.

Time marched on relentlessly, each tick of the clock urging them forward.

Sadie pushed open the grand doors of Myrtlewood Estate and was immediately enveloped by its familiar warmth.

The tension from the studio began to dissolve, replaced by a comforting sense of relief. She slipped into her slippers and casually placed her bag on the entryway cabinet.
