Meanwhile, Larry tried calling Hera but got no response. Not one to waste time, he quickly dialed Cindy instead, knowing she was likely with their young miss. Cindy answered on the very first ring.
"What's wrong?" she asked immediately, her brows knitting together with concern. Seeing Larry's name on the screen had made her assume something had gone wrong with the competition.
"There's no problem," Larry replied, his voice steady and composed. "I'm calling to inform Young Miss that she's officially been declared the champion of the IGI Expressions Competition. I just received the invitation to the finale in France—plane tickets, hotel reservations, and everything else included."
