"One minute left, designs number 1 and 2 line up and get ready."
Lady Bella announced over the amplifier, and the student who drew the number 1 spot led her model to the backstage entrance.
Ivana Bennett took one final look at her model, nodding in satisfaction and gesturing to the makeup artist.
"Perfect, just the effect I wanted."
"Ah!" Just as she finished speaking, a sharp scream sounded not far away. Turning her head, she saw Hideko Yasuda stumble and fall to the ground. Frantically, Ivana rushed over. "Hideko?!"
The students all turned their heads, looking towards Hideko Yasuda with bewilderment.
"What happened?!" Lady Bella also came over.
"She accidentally stepped on my foot. I just reminded her not to dirty my shoes," Ali spoke up, her chin lifted in arrogance.
Hideko Yasuda furrowed her brow, "I didn't. You clearly did it on purpose..."
