Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 50
Annaâs friend angrily said, âHow can your sister act like that?! Since youâre both participating in the
competition, it should depend on each personâs ability! Itâs up to oneâs ability to receive praise from the
judges. Even if she prevents you from participating, can she stop the others?â
Anna sighed helplessly. âShe just doesnât want to let me compete. Ever since we were young, she has
always wanted whatever I had, and Iâve gotten used to letting her have her way. Still, this was such a
rare opportunity to prove myself using my own abilities! But, Iâm afraid my dreams are going to be
dashed again.â
âWhat are you afraid of? What can she do to you in front of so many people? You have to quickly get
up and prepare yourself. Iâm the first to go out, and youâre the last. What about her? What number is
she?â
She lowered her head, looking pitiful as she said, âI donât know. I didnât even know she was
participating. If I knew, I wouldnât have joined.â
Her friend then said, âWhy wouldnât you join? You canât continue being pushed around like this. Since
she refuses to allow you to participate in the competition, thatâs all the more reason to take first place in
the competition and rub it in her face.â
Anna nodded. âHurry up and finish your preparations. Iâm fine.â
Her friend made a noncommittal sound of agreement, then she left. At the same time, the crowd
surrounding them slowly dispersed.
After that, a cold smile appeared on Annaâs lips. Olivia, if you keep your mouth shut, things will end
here peacefully. Or else⦠I wonder just how youâre going to explain away what just happened!
At 8.50 AM, some of the sponsors began entering the venue.
Oliviaâs seat at the judgesâ seats and the sponsorsâ seats were on opposite sides of the hall. However,
she couldnât see Eugene.
I guess he might not be coming; heâs a busy man after all.
To be honest, it had been a long while since they last met. Itâs a little strangeâit feels like we are
deliberately trying to avoid each other. I didnât dare to approach him for fear of being misunderstood.
Similarly, he hasnât tried to approach me either.
Still, I hope he will come today. I want to see what his reaction would be when he learns that Iâm Angel.
Just as she was deep in her thoughts, a tall and slender figure appeared at the entrance of the venueâ
it was the man she was just thinking about. He was dressed in a black suit, which emphasized his
strong and fit body; his expressionless face made him seem cold and distant. A strong and powerful
aura overflowed from him, keeping the people around him on their toes. Curtis followed beside him,
along with several other staff members that led him to the VIP seat.
All the other sponsors immediately stood up to greet him, and he casually nodded at them in
acknowledgment.
All of a sudden, Olivia felt her spirits lifting. Thus, she got up, walked toward Eugene, and greeted him,
âMr. Nolan.â
A flash of surprise flitted across Eugeneâs face, followed by an unexpected burst of euphoria. âWhy are
you here? Are you participating in this competition too?â
She pursed her lips with a mischievous smile in her eyes, then vaguely responded, âYeah, I didnât
expect to see you here.â
He nodded; that was what he wanted to say too. âThe Nolan Group is a sponsor for this event.â
In response, she smiled and nodded. âOkay. Please take a seat; Iâm heading back.â
Thus, he responded, âOkay, weâll catch up later.â
However, his gaze never left her back.
During this time, he had been suffering greatly. The scene of her sitting opposite Brian in a coupleâs
booth kept replaying itself in his mindâBrian had been holding a bowl of candy in his hands and she
had been smiling heartily.
Every time he thought about it, he found himself feeling dispirited.
Brian seems to be quite taken with her. As his brother, I should keep my distance from her.
For that reason, he had been keeping himself extremely busyâso busy that he had no time to meet
her, nor think about her.
Butâ¦
At that moment, he clearly understood that he had desperately wanted to meet her. The joy in his heart
wasnât something he could suppress no matter how hard he tried.
It wasnât until Eugene saw Olivia sitting down at the judgesâ seats that he felt a little surprised. Could it
be that she isnât a designer participating in the competition, but a judge?
