"The Enclave," he announced, "came up with 40 points."
"Impressive," Peggy turned to Dylan. "However, it can't be compared to our three exquisite designs," she whispered loud enough to get into everyone's ears.
Ignoring Peggy's snide remark, Anya and her team nodded among themselves, satisfied with their performance.
"Café Ambrosia, with 36 points."
Theo and his team exchanged smiles, it was still a good score by all standards.
"Café Solstice, with 38 points."
'What?!' Peggy's face tightened. The slight difference from The Enclave was a sting, but she maintained her composure, her eyes fixed on the judge.
"Empress Brew, with 43 points."
"Impossible!" This time, Peggy could no longer keep calm. How can a newbie and a common shop like Empress Brew score higher than Café Solstice? Something was clearly wrong with the judges' assessments.
