Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes and watched the pool water glittering under the lights without saying a word.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think so much about it..." Sylvia said as she smiled awkwardly, but Vera snorted and blamed her for not thinking before speaking. Then, Vera turned around and looked at Kimberly, and she started gesticulating furiously.
She said, "Hurry up and charge your phone so we can take photos of the contestants later."
Sylvia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will everyone be present during the competition?"
Vera nodded and replied, "Of course. Everyone will come. Referees will be needed too."
Sylvia asked again, "Can only men take part in the competition?"
Vera glanced at Sylvia and asked, "What do you mean?"
Sylvia shrugged, "I mean, if the boys can compete, girls can compete too."
Vera's eyes lit up upon hearing this and she said, "It does make sense, but... the organizers don't have this arrangement. We can't participate."
"Isn't it simple?" Sylvia smiled and took Kimberly's arm. She then waved at Benedict who was standing not far away and shouted, "Brother Benedict!"
Sylvia's voice attracted everyone's attention at once. In fact, Benedict had been looking towards them the whole while.
When Kimberly had appeared, his eyes were attracted by the bright red dress she was wearing and he couldn't move his gaze away.
Originally, he had thought that her elegance would be complemented by a blue or green gown, but he didn't expect her to look so stunning in red.
When Sylvia waved at him, Benedict saw her at once. He also saw Kimberly's sudden change of expression.
Kimberly pulled Sylvia's hand down and asked in a hushed voice, "Why are you calling him over?"
Sylvia said with a smile, "No reason. He is one of the people in charge here. I want a women's swimming competition, and he's going to help me get it."
Kimberly felt speechless and muttered, "But you don't have to purposely look for him, right? What are you doing?" Kimberly also whispered to her at the end, "Don't do anything stupid."
Sylvia replied, "Don't worry. I won't tell him about it. I need to get your consent first."
"Vice President Yardley is coming!" exclaimed Vera just then.
Benedict walked up to them with a faint smile on his handsome face. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Sylvia said excitedly, "I heard that you will have a male swimming competition, right?"
"Yes." Benedict nodded gently. Sylvia then said, "In the past, it was only a male competition. Can you add a female competition this year?"
Benedict was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that sort of request from Sylvia. Sylvia saw that he was shocked, so she quickly held Kimberly's hand and nudged her, saying, "Kimberly also wanted to have the swimming competition. You won't refuse Kimberly's small request, right?"
"I..." Kimberly was about to defend herself, but Sylvia held her hand tightly and whispered, "If you don't want me to tell him about it, you need to help

me.
Sylvia thought that Maddox might be coming later, so she must find a chance to show off her figure to him.
Although Vera was a little unhappy that Sylvia was treating Kimberly like this, she was also looking forward to the female swimming competition. However, she still conceded, "Vice President Yardley, if it's too difficult, don't bother. The previous format was good too."
However, Benedict smiled slightly and said, "I think your proposal is not bad."
There seemed to be light in his gentle eyes, but the look was soft and not aggressive, which stunned everyone.
He added, "In the past, it was only for the men. I didn't realize this, but if we have a women's competition, the party would be so much more fun. Thanks for pointing it out."
