A few minutes before the time ran out, Natalie finished making her perfume. Finally, everyone in the audience let out a sigh of relief.
Natalie carried her creation to the judges and placed the tray in front of them. All five judges tested it one by one, their expressions shifting noticeably. They looked at each other in disbelief, then turned their gazes to Natalie.
They examined the formula Natalie had written, and their expressions changed once more.
Briena, standing to the side, smirked smugly. Now it's time for your downfall, Natalie.
"Ms. Natalie, you and Ms. Briena have created exactly the same perfume. How can that be?" one of the judges asked.
Whispers rippled through the hall, the audience stunned.
"Has she plagiarized Briena again?"
"Seems like it. Briena finished first, clearly knowing what she was creating, while Natalie looked lost and confused."
