Janice looked at Heidi without a word and turned to leave.
Heidi stood there alone, thinking, "There are indeed a lot of shameless people in this world!"
Before the competition began, Heidi went to the backstage lounge. Her parents had accompanied her to the competition today.
Emma asked, "What exactly did Mrs. Moore ask you to help with?"
Heidi frowned. "It's nothing."
She refused to admit that Janice could do something she was incapable of.
Just then, they heard a knock on the door.
Heidi's tone was unpleasant as she called out, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
She recognized the voice and went to answer the door. "What are you doing here?"
It was Simon.
If anyone saw her getting too close to Simon at an event like this, it wouldn't be a good look.
"Hurry up! Come in!"
Simon tolerated Heidi's unfriendly attitude, simply assuming that masters of crafts always had their own quirks. He hadn't originally planned to come look for Heidi, but when he found out she was a judge for the tournament, he became incredibly excited.
"Mom, Dad, I need to discuss some crochet matters with him. Please step outside." Heidi was eager to send her parents away.
Emma glanced at Simon, then smiled and greeted him together with Gregory, "Hello, Mr. Fitzgerald."
"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan."
Once they left, Heidi questioned, "Why are you looking for me? Janice somehow found out that I've been in contact with you."
