The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 665

The host was all hyped up, but Keira's expression darkened slightly.

Scoring this high from top-tier judges in an international competition, it was a real feather in her cap! However, today's scores didn't quite cut it for Keira.

"Can I ask why it's not a perfect score?" she asked the judges.

Claudia, the only lady on the judging panel, looking all dolled up, classy and sexy, her deep eyes hinting a bit of confusion, shrugged and replied, "Nothing's perfect in this world. We have the right to give a perfect score, but that's only because we ourselves are not perfect. We, as flawed individuals, claiming a work to be perfect, that's not really perfect, is it? And you, you're not perfect either, you get what I'm saying?"

Keira was a bit bamboozled by this. All she knew was that there was more than meets the eye in what this female judge said.

Did she mean, what she thought was perfect, didn’t quite hit the mark in the eyes of the judges? Yet, her mentor once said, her work was absolutely flawless!

If one judge gave a perfect score, she wouldn't be questioning what went wrong.

"Claudia, you don't always have to spare the contestants' feelings. They signed up for this, they gotta be ready to take the heat! Only by calling them out can we truly help them!" Allan chimed in, slightly exasperated.

He was the exact opposite of Claudia, impatient by nature and straight as an arrow. He believed, if you had something to say, you had to shout it from the rooftops!

Claudia shook her head, "I can't find anything wrong with the work itself!"

Keira clenched her teeth, fuming inside!

If they couldn't find any flaws, why didn't they give her a perfect score?! Didn't they see the contradiction in what they were saying?!

Allan heaved a sigh, turned to Keira and said,

"If Claudia isn't going to say it, I will!" He pointed at the recipe and scent paper in front of him, and said with a stern face, "This formula and the work, they're flawless; at least I can't find any faults. But... Rosanna, I think, your description of Pure Snow didn’t quite match your work!

“If we follow your logic, this piece should represent the last snowfall of winter. The mild temperature of early spring as the snow gradually melts. It represents warmth, modesty, generosity or extravagance, just enough to sustain life.

“It gives people warmth, which is completely different from your description of icy Pure Snow.

“Furthermore, it's not the miracle you described of your loved one finally coming to you. It's more about finding contentment in each other's company, preferring a simple, quiet life over a roller coaster one. This is what this piece should convey.

“All in all, your work is beyond reproach, but your attempt to explain the intended message and initial intention of this piece was quite a stretch.

“Rosanna, I'm genuinely puzzled, how did a piece that's completely opposite to your initial intention come out of your hands! Honestly, I didn't want to score you! I just didn't want to reject this piece, because it itself is absolutely perfect!”
