Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 24
When Shandie’s swiftly realized theme was flashed on the screen, it drew gasps of astonishment.
“This artistic conception is pretty good. If this cup of coffee were to be offered in a coffee shop, surely it could fetch a good twenty?”
“This isn’t coffee art, but art itself!”
“No wonder Crown Coffee Academy has the reputation of being the best place to learn the techniques of brewing!”
Cindy was extremely pleased at the reactions received, and was proud that the daughter she painstakingly nurtured had not let her down.
Shandie quietly began to grow in her complacency as she was able to listen in to the discussions taking place and praise lavished upon her off-stage.
She just knew that she would be the one to come up on top!
Her theme was secretly conceived by a famous designer, and one which she had spent a week practicing at home. There was none who could rival her work in terms of visual impact.
She could just imagine the legions of fans she would be able to garner when the video was posted onto the blog, and all before she even starred in any movie.
On top of that, Vinson would also be mighty impressed, making her a winner in both love and her professional life!
The more Shandie thought about it, the more her delight grew. She then needed to pinch her own thigh in order to stop herself from laughing aloud.
Of course, she had not forgotten about Arielle, who was still busying away.
Shandie thought that though Arielle’s Bloom of a Thousand Pear-Flowers did showcase a considerable degree of skill, its few pear-trees with budding blossoms nonetheless paled in contrast to her own creation.
When Arielle was finally done, she raised a hand and asked the host, “Could you do me a favor here?”
The host immediately went over.
Shandie sneered inside: Sensationalist much!
Never mind getting the host to help, Shandie deemed that her opponent had no chance of beating her even with Vinson’s backing. As this was an open challenge witnessed by the masses, there was no way she would be able to pull strings here.
By this time, the host was already next to Arielle. “May I know if there’s anything that you’d like me to do?”
Arielle turned to the big screen behind her which was now focused over her coffee, and decided that the timing was right.
“Do you mind lending me the script you have in your hand?”
“Certainly,” replied the host who was happy to assent to a beautiful woman’s request, and generously passed his own script along.
To the side, Shandie appeared even more disdainful when she saw Arielle’s design on the big screen.
So you drew up some nice looking pear-flowers?
Big deal.
She wondered what other tricks Arielle might be up to, but remained skeptical as to whether it would make any difference to the outcome.
Arielle reached out to receive the script from the host and at the same time, sought out the angle she wanted. Once she got a handle on the amount of force she wanted to apply behind it, she started to fan at the coffee with the script in hand.
Shandie was dumbstruck.
How could you fan at the latte art?
Wouldn’t that mess up your original drawing?
You’re an ignorant country girl after all!What a joke!
While Shandie ridiculed away at Arielle inside, an astonishing sequence was unveiled in the next instant as the buds on the pear-trees seemed to bloom under Arielle’s steady fanning.
Then, a few blossoms appeared to detach from the branches and scatter upon the ground bellow.
With that, Arielle stopped fanning and extended a bow to the audience and guests. “This is my work: The Bloom of a Thousand Pear-Flowers Ushered Forth by the Night Breeze of Spring. Thank you for watching.”
