When I returned to the studio the next day, I told Charmaine and Leticia about the whole thing, including what happened at the Freshers' Night Gala.
After hearing that, Leticia rolled up her sleeves and yelled that she would teach Stanley and Sienna a lesson for me.
Charmaine said with a cold face, "It's time to retaliate and slap some people, but you have to find a good way." Then, she handed me an entry form.
The entry form was for the school's annual fashion exhibition.
She looked into my eyes just like she looked at Stanley and spoke to me that summer. Her tone was still as firm as before. "Jessalyn, you have to face some obstacles by yourself. Do you dare to do so?"
I finally looked her in the eye and nodded.
I had to say that Charmaine was a really ruthless person. She used my original pearl-beaded mermaid dress as a design for the competition. However, she changed the white silk to black and the graceful fishtail design to an ancient Gregan Ionic-style hem.
