Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 271: Semifinals Round Three

Tens of thousands of people are eagerly awaiting the start of the third round of the semi-finals.

Jasper Sinclair advised Nora Northwood, "Just do your best, don’t burden yourself with too much pressure."

Just before heading on stage, the man gave Nora’s head a gentle pat and didn’t forget to tidy the stray hair falling by her ear.

A few strands of black hair nestled between Jasper Sinclair’s fingers, forming a stark contrast of black and white.

"Wait for me."

Nora thought that if there weren’t so many eyes watching them, she might have given Jasper a quick kiss.

Then, they parted ways.

Jasper watched as Nora found her spot on the platform, only then did he return to the audience seat.

The theme of the third round took everyone by surprise; a topic that had never appeared in recent years of the competition.

Rosemary.

Without requiring anyone to spend effort and energy to analyze, a definitive theme was directly provided: blend and compose the fragrance.

Compared to the previous two days, the difficulty of the competition doubled.

Simply preparing a bottle of rosemary scent isn’t difficult.

However, choosing one bottle with the most characteristic out of fifty rosemary fragrances is exceedingly challenging.

"Rosemary, rosemary..." Nora softly repeated these words to herself.

Rosemary originally comes from the coastal regions of The Midian Sea.

It is one of the main ingredients of Queen’s Water and is also the precursor to cologne.

How to make it extraordinary while retaining its original scent?

Nora continued to recall.

She had once read an ancient book about fragrance preparation, which recorded that rosemary leaves could emit a pine-like aroma, displaying a pale blue in spring and summer.

She gently closed her eyes, visualizing the pale blue leaves in her mind.

Droplets... ocean...

Suddenly, Nora’s almond-shaped eyes widened.

Got it!

She quickly organized her thoughts in the baby [fragrance notebook], intending to combine the scents of rosemary and sea breeze.

As for the scent of the sea breeze.

Not long ago, she and Jasper went to Palm Cove, experiencing something entirely different.

Immediately, Nora began to work.

Perhaps the extended thinking time earlier caused her to finish preparing the fragrance at the very last second without even a moment to review her work.

Coincidentally, Yuna Hughes captured the scene of Nora frantically tidying up her items as she had finished early herself.

Just as the host announced the seating could be left, Yuna eagerly squeezed close to Nora.

"No time to even check your scent, I actually wonder how you made it to the third day!"

Indeed, as Yuna pointed out, by the third day, only forty-five contestants remained in the arena.

As for those absent, some couldn’t handle the flashing cameras, some found the tight schedule too demanding, and others worried about being subjected to online abuse once their photos were uploaded to social media...

All in all, various reasons.

Ultimately, the competitive ratio among remaining contestants was reduced from one out of fifty to forty-five.

Jasper Sinclair, worried Nora might be troubled, swiftly positioned himself between the two ladies, disregarding his status.

"Dear."

Jasper’s protective stance was evidently clear.

Some gossiping onlookers and reporters stealthily perked up their ears, trying to catch the situation over here.

Nora’s pure white face unexpectedly carried a captivating aura, her pink lips parted and closed, "If I could outcompete you in the preliminaries, I can do the same in the semi-finals. Since you managed to make it to the third day, why can’t I?"

Yuna noticed more and more people were focusing on them.

She didn’t want any unpleasant words to spread from her, helplessly squeezing out a smile, "We’ll meet again when the results are out."
