Chapter 175
In no time at all, a sketch of an evening gown materialized on the blank sheet of paper.
Yes, Anthea was designing a gown.
RealTimeFlow's annual gala was just two months away, by which time the chill of Capital City would dip below freezing. She wanted to get ahead of the cold snap and design a temperature-regulating dress.
That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the cold.
It was also a prime opportunity to advertise temperature-adjustable clothing.
And save on a hefty marketing budget to boot.
Those attending the RealTimeFlow gala were sure to be female celebrities and newscasters, a demographic that's perpetually strutting down red carpets, with a far greater need for temperature- regulating attire than the average person.
After all, they required seasonless glamour for outdoor appearances.
Summer was one thing. But come autumn and winter, they faced the brutal test of the cold.
Most importantly, the target audience for these temperature-controlled garments wasn't limited to female stars; it would appeal to male celebrities and the general public alike.
After all, the design wasn't restricted to gowns. It could be tailored into suits, t-shirts, formal attire...
Three minutes later, the perfect gown design graced the paper.
Even a seasoned designer would blush with embarrassment upon seeing such sophistication, and if not for witnessing it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe it was a three-minute creation.
Anthea signed the bottom with a bold 'Y'.
After finishing the sandwich, Anthea retired to her room to start a live stream.
This was her first broadcast since the 'cheating' and 'Second Snow White' incidents.
The moment she opened the stream, the viewer count soared past 20,000.
[Ann, are you really going to make it to the RealTimeFlow gala on time?]
[Ann, can't wait to see you in person!]
[Congrats Ann on hitting 20 million followers!]
It was only when she saw this comment that Anthea realized her fans had jumped to 20 million.
"Don't worry, I never break a promise. I’ll be there for the third-anniversary gala."
[Ahhh! So excited! Ann, you must be gorgeous.] NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Anthea humbly replied, "Just average, third in the world maybe."
[The host's an eyesore but won't admit it. Got the screenshots, waiting to prove you wrong!]
[Cheater, you're embarrassing!]
[If you were really that pretty, why hide behind the mask?]
[Our Rebecca is the real beauty!]
"As for the cheating accusations, I won't explain again. The innocent need no defense. You'll see the outcome of my face-off with Miss Becca at RealTimeFlow's third-anniversary gala!"
[Go Ann! You're so badass! We stand by you!]
[To those troublemakers, give it a rest. Ann already said she'd attend the RealTimeFlow gala. Are you blind?]
Just then, a challenge popped up on her computer.
[LeisureHermit has sent you a challenge. Do you accept?]
Anthea raised an eyebrow slightly as she thought, "He really doesn’t know when to give up."
[This one won't stop until they hit rock bottom.]
[Honestly, their game is not bad, but they've met their match with our Ann.]
Anthea accepted the challenge.
From the moment the game began, Sherman watched the chessboard like a hawk. Before each move, he pondered for minutes, ensuring no mistakes before daring to place a piece.
Yet, even with such caution, he found himself ensnared step by step in his opponent's trap.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
Despite a string of losses, Sherman wasn't discouraged; he was as eager as ever.
If possible, he'd love to meet Griffin, to raise a toast and speak of ancient and modern times.
From this person's style of play, they had to be a remarkable character!
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. "Is Sherman in?"
"Come on in." Sherman casually grabbed a cross from the desk and leaned back in his chair, resting with eyes closed.
Daniel entered and said, "Sherman, I need your signature on this document."
Sherman signed the document with his name, written in a flourish that carried a sense of ascetic restraint.
For some reason, it reminded Daniel of Anthea.
In fact, Anthea and Sherman could make a good match.
No, no!
Daniel quickly dismissed the unrealistic thought; only the vegan Rebecca was truly suited for Sherman.
After a walk outside, Sarah returned home and calmly broke the news to her parents that she was pregnant and considering an abortion.
The Allens were quite traditional, and upon hearing their daughter was with child, they pondered whether to let go of the money issue.
