Chapter 804 The Night of the Finals
Doris walked out from the corner and curiously glanced at Innes' room. She also lived on the same floor, but in the room at the very end, which was a hidden spot, so no one had noticed her earlier. Consequently, she couldn't get a clear view of the woman who entered Innes' room.
Based on the figure, Doris guessed that it was a tall and curvaceous woman dressed provocatively.
'She definitely isn't a good woman, and she must not enter the man's room for a serious discussion. Besides, Innes had a wife,' Doris thought.
Doris called her brother Leo and described the appearance of the woman she had seen just now.
It wasn't easy to deduce a specific person from just a silhouette, but the woman had dyed her hair silver, which was uncommon in Europe, and she even had colorful highlights in her silver hair, making her even more unique.
After Doris finished her description, Leo quickly guessed who the woman might have been.
"You're probably talking about Rose. Do you know her? But that doesn't make sense, she and Natalie don't get along. You shouldn't have any association with her," Leo said in confusion.
Doris raised an eyebrow. So, this woman didn't like her goddess?
As for fans, when anyone doesn't get along with their idol, surely they wouldn't blame their idol for it!
The night of the finals arrived.
Melvyn and Innes were still dressed casually, just a bit more formal. Natalie, Cocker, Louis, and another top male model, on the other hand, attended in their finest attire, not only styling themselves but also wearing the latest creations from famous independent designers.
The most exciting part of the Super Model competition every year was the ultimate showdown.
This finale not only determined the top ten global contestants but also showcased the latest works from various independent designers and their studios.
The excellence of these works was not inferior to any branded fashion show.
Natalie, Cocker, Louis, and another top male model who had recently joined were the four important participants for the opening, closing, small opening, and small closing acts.
The three modeling mentors at the scene didn't provide feedback for them.
"The clothes Natalie wears are really beautiful. I wonder which designer's work it is," one of the staff remarked.
"It looks somewhat familiar to me. This style seems like Lee's design! Lee has this kind of style!" another commented.
When the model went on stage, Nola, the host, stepped back and heard the excited discussions among the staff.
"It is indeed designed by Lee. The full name of this female designer is Flora Lee. She is a good friend of Natalie. It is said that Lee has previously designed clothes exclusively for Natalie. This honor is not something that anyone can enjoy," someone from the staff informed.
"Flora Lee? It's really hard to get hold of her creations now. Natalie is really lucky, with both her career and love life flourishing," another added.
Upon hearing these words, Nola felt as if her heart was being cut by knives repeatedly, and her face looked awful.
"Nola, do you know who Natalie's lover is?" another staff questioned Nola.
"Does he have any special status?" one of the staff asked Nola.
Before Nola could respond, she was interrupted by a colleague who tugged on her sleeve.
Nola turned away, muttering with a grimace on her face, "I don't know".
She faintly heard someone saying behind her, "Don't ask her about this! I heard that Nola confessed her feelings to Natalie's current lover but got rejected!"
"Nola pursued Natalie's boyfriend?" the staff member exclaimed in shock.
"That's what I heard. But honestly, I think Natalie is much better than Nola. How could Nola possibly snatch Natalie's man?" someone remarked.
Hearing this, Nola clenched her hands tightly by her side.
Time flew by.
After giving the final model her score, Natalie put down the scoring device and walked backstage, preparing to go on stage.
Rose was standing in front of Natalie, getting ready to go on stage.
At this moment, each contestant should have been nervously preparing to go on stage. However, Natalie noticed that Rose kept looking at her sneakily.
When Rose turned her head toward Natalie, she stared back and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Rose hesitated, struggling to find the right words, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Natalie did not have the energy to focus on Rose. She was famished now.
She had vomited in the morning and only had a little bit of oatmeal. She didn't eat lunch or dinner and only had a little bit of water.
Models were not allowed to eat before going on stage because even if their figure was great, any consumption would cause their stomachs to bulge, which would affect the overall presentation.
Perhaps because she was not focused enough before going on stage, Rose's performance was very poor.
She stepped on the wrong rhythm as soon as she came out, her legs were loose and weak, and her body even shook a bit while posing. This presentation was far below the standard of a professional model.
Although these errors were subtle, they couldn't escape the eyes of professionals and peers.
Natalie was the last one to go on stage, and the music became extravagant and stirring.
Natalie wore a mermaid gown that shimmered under the lights as she walked, her cascading layers of skirt swaying beautifully.
The atmosphere in the whole venue instantly changed, perhaps due to the contrasting effects of the model walking before her.
Natalie glanced at the VIP seat, knowing that Oliver couldn't make it this time due to some urgent matters, but Natalie wasn't disappointed because modeling was her job, and Oliver had his own work, so he couldn't attend every show.
However, it was the audience who felt disappointed!
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the VIP seat, hoping to find the "gentleman in the first seat east of the VIP section", but he didn't show up.
The final results were announced.
The results were similar to what Natalie had predicted, with the only surprise being that Rose was the third-place winner!
"Why is she the runner-up?" Natalie asked Cocker in confusion. Although she didn't score Rose, Cocker did.
Cocker shrugged, and said, "I gave her a low score too, so I'm also surprised by this result."
Rose had performed poorly in the previous round, lagging behind in points. With even more mistakes this time, it was unexpected for her to rank third.
If Cocker gave her a low score, then someone must have given her a high score to boost her total points.
In Natalie's mind, scenes from last night appeared, where Rose went to Innes' room wearing a silk slip dress. Could it be that it wasn't love, but a deal?
Natalie glanced at those ranked outside the top ten, and unfortunately, Leo was in eleventh place.
Leo only became a model out of a temporary interest. Part of the reason he made it into the finals was due to his good mental state and steady steps on stage, while another part was thanks to his natural attributes. However, he still lacked some stage skills.
Overall, his future would be limitless as long as he worked hard.
The top ten winners of the finals would have access to the fashion resources provided by the competition committee, and the champions, runners-up, and third-place winners would achieve great success in the next two to three years.
"And now, the top ten Super Models of this year have been determined! They will be the rising stars in the world of supermodels, let's congratulate them!" said Nola, the host.
"Wait!" someone interrupted.
