The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 649

Chloe shot Annarie a frosty glance. Figuring it didn't matter, she turned her gaze away, and decided not to bother with her anymore.

"Hey, Chloe! You..."

"Annarie, you'd be better off focusing on yourself if you've got time to worry about me."

"What do I have to worry about? Compared to your current state, I'm probably doing way better! Chloe, you may have been better than me in the past three years, but now, haha, everything's different."

Chloe gently closed her lips, took a deep breath, and was about to turn her head to look at Annarie when the host stepped onto the stage.

"First of all, welcome all outstanding contestants to this year's Fragrance Frenzy International Contest. We have chosen the beautiful and romantic Provence as our venue this year. We’ve made a last-minute change. This competition will be divided into two rounds. The first round will be the elimination round! The second round will be the finals!"

Upon hearing the host's words, the audience immediately erupted.

"What? A last-minute additional round?!"

"We're totally unprepared!"

Chloe's eyes lit up at this, a slight smile curling her lips. This was similar to the open auditions back home. It seemed the organizers valued each perfumer's basic skills and adaptability. But this also best represented the true level of each contestant.

Chloe gave a silent nod, showing her approval of this competition format. Annarie standing next to Chloe, however, turned pale.

She was already very nervous, and now with the sudden addition of an elimination round, it felt like a surprise attack. She had already exhausted all her energy on her competition piece.
