Joey emerged from the shower, toweling dry her hair. Just as she was about to blow dry her hair, Monica's faint voice echoed from the living room, "Joey, it's so late. Why hasn't Zac come home yet? Did he drink too much at a dinner meeting and can't make it back?"Startled, Joey hung the hairdryer back on the wall and peeked her head out, glancing at the clock on the living room wall. It was already 10:40 pm. She hadn't expected Monica to be so concerned about Zachary!"Grandma, why aren't you asleep? Didn't I tell you he has been very busy lately? He's probably just resting somewhere out there," Joey explained, massaging her temples. Monica usually went to bed early. She had thought Monica would be asleep by the time she finished her bath."Quickly call Zac and ask where he is. Does he need someone to pick him up?" With an unsteady gait, Monica picked up Joey's phone from the table and handed it to her, her words carrying an authoritative tone that brooked no refusal. Yieldin

"Okay, make my clothes look beautiful," Selena said. After speaking, she took out her powder compact to touch up on her makeup, seizing every opportunity to showcase the gown.The photographer dared not say much. After all, these two were VIPs requested explicitly by the program producer.Half an hour later, a company car smoothly glided to a stop in front of a suburban mansion. Joey noticed several other company cars already parked, indicating that she wasn't the earliest to arrive.The program team had prepared the venue in advance. The vast open space was already equipped with cameras set up in various positions, and props were arranged meticulously. Staff members were engaged in their tasks, their faces displaying sheer focus. In addition to the models, some artists from Eastwell Entertainment had arrived, making the scene exceptionally lively."Hey, look, isn't Chloe in that car?""It seems like it. Her car is different from the one we took."Joey and Selena rode in a cham

The following day, the sound of a phone ringing awoke both Joey and Selena. "You didn't set an alarm?"Joey picked up her phone sleepily. She jumped out of bed the moment she saw the time. "Hello?"It was an unknown number. Joey's finger hovered momentarily before she decided to pick up. "Hello, Ms. Linton. We're from the production team. We're in charge of taking care of your everyday needs. We are about to start work. Are you and Ms. Sanders coming for breakfast?"A gentle female voice traveled over the phone. The environment she was in sounded very noisy. "Oh … I'm so sorry. We'll skip breakfast and go straight to the set."Joey pressed her lips together awkwardly. They were late on their first day in the Program Department. She hung up as soon as she finished. Her biological clock had woken her up once already. But when she half opened her eyes and saw that it was still dark, she'd gone back to sleep. When she got up, she saw that the curtains were tightly drawn.

Everyone was enthusiastic when they saw the design program's final prize. When they gathered in the other banquet hall, Julia pushed aside the people beside her and sat down next to Selena, her face wreathed in smiles. She was more polite than she had ever been. "It's useless for the others to even try. Chloe will definitely win this diamond!"Selena could feel eyes on her from all directions. Some were guarded, others disdainful, and some others contemptuous. She suspected that Julia was doing this on purpose to make them the object of hate. "Design Maestros" was a program for up-and-coming new designers, and there weren't any well-known designers apart from those from the mentor group. However, it was still a program produced by Eastwell Entertainment. Who knew whether there wasn't an experienced designer in their midst who was in disguise? Selena was about to speak when Julia's lackeys cut her off, chattering, "You're the one people should be envious of. This diamond is w

When drawing lots had ended, and everyone went back to their rooms, Joey glanced at the room beside hers. This room seemed to be empty. Would someone else come? Time was tight, and she had no time to think too much of it. She entered Selena's room and immediately began drawing up a draft according to Julia's figure for Selena to keep. They were afraid that the rules would change again. They were busy until almost one in the morning. "Let's finish up and go to bed," Joey told Selena, gathering up her things and preparing to leave. …Zachary hurriedly rushed to the program team, and Henry led him to the room that Kent had prepared for him. He paused at the doorway and glanced at the door next to his room, staring at it for a moment before turning away and entering. Henry quietly closed the door and left soundlessly. Joey was so busy that she had no time to think of negative thoughts. All that was left was a strong sense of fatigue. When she left Selena's room, her he
