The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 32

In the midst of the conversation, she glanced at Evelyn. In that look, the admiration she held for Evelyn, was unmistakably present in her eyes.

She adored Evelyn’s latest design piece. In her heart, Evelyn was the true winner.

"Given that the second and third place participants also performed exceptionally well in this competition, the executives at Carlisle Jewels have unanimously decided to offer internships to both. We hope all three of you will continue to push forward, striving to create more and better works."

As soon as these words were announced, the room erupted into a buzz of excitement.

Getting into Carlisle Jewels was every jewelry designer's dream. Naturally, it was Evelyn's dream, too. She could hardly believe her ears.

"Really? That's amazing!"

The joyous exclamation from Grace, who placed third, and the grimace on Dahlia's face made it clear she hadn't misheard.

It was real!

Dahlia's expression was beyond ugly at this point. Initially, it was understood that only the first-place winner would get into Carlisle Jewels. And now, Evelyn was in too!

Dahlia clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.

After the thunderous applause, the award ceremony concluded.

The host announced, "The ceremony is over. Please exit the stage in an orderly fashion."

Charles and Dahlia left from the left side. Dahlia, arm in arm with Charles, deliberately walked past Evelyn.

Evelyn chose to exit on the right side, with Brooks closely behind. He was a true gentleman, allowing Evelyn to go first.

Evelyn’s skirt was too long, and her heels were too high. When she started to descend the stairs, she accidentally stepped on her dress.
