Joyce nodded. “That's right. It's produced by Starlight Entertainment. The company produced two very successful
idol groups recently and has launched a variety show just for them. They want us to design the most fashionable
outfits for their members.”
“Why us and not some other apparel company?” Natalie asked in confusion.
It's not uncommon for the entertainment industry to collaborate with the fashion industry. Well-known superstars
would be able to get free haute couture outfits, while rising ones would instead endorse less popular luxury brands.
However, I'm surprised that they'd choose to collaborate with a small-time studio like ours...
“I too, found it strange too when they first approached me about this. After some clarification, I realized it was you
that they were after,” Joyce said as she sat down in front of her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Me?” Natalie pointed at herself.
“Yeah, you've made quite a name for yourself with Project Rebirth and your performance in the previous design
competition, and everyone thinks you're quite capable of creating your own luxury brand someday. That's why
Starlight Entertainment decided to gain our favor by collaborating with us.” Joyce took a sip of her water before she
continued, “That way, it would be easier for them to borrow haute couture outfits from us in the future.”
“Oh, so that's why!” Natalie shook her head and burst into laughter.
Joyce set her glass down on the table. “What do you think, Natalie? Shall we accept their invitation?”
“Why not? It'd be a great opportunity for us to boost Studio Nouveau's popularity and speed up the process of
transforming it into a proper company! Once that's done, we can start producing luxury items.”
Joyce nodded in agreement. “You're right... I'll inform them of our decision, then.”
She then whipped out her phone and made a call at the balcony while Natalie went back to reading the documents.
Someone else dropped by when she was almost done with it, but this person came straight in without even ringing
the doorbell.
Natalie stood up and stared at him in disbelief. “Mr. Shane? How did you get in?”
Shane was holding a tiny plastic bag in one hand while waving a white card in the other. “Connor gave me the key
card.”
Is it just me or did he sound kind of gleeful when he said that? Natalie frowned at the thought of that and asked,
“Why would he give you the key card? Also, when did he give it to you?”
“He gave it to me this morning.” Shane put the card into his pocket and made his way towards her as he continued,
“I told you, the kids want me to be their dad, so they gave me this after finding out that we spent the night
together.”
He looked a little surprised when he noticed Joyce standing at the balcony, but was quick to regain his composure

“What is this?” Natalie asked.
“Medicine,” Shane replied.
Natalie froze and tightened her grip on the plastic bag.
Medicine? As in, emergency contraceptive pills? I know it's not wrong for him to give me this, but... Is he seriously
that afraid of me getting pregnant with his child?
Natalie took a deep breath and opened the plastic bag with a wry smile on her face, only to be surprised by the
contents inside. “These aren't emergency contraceptive pills?”
Shane frowned. “Why would I give you that?”
“Aren't you afraid of me getting pregnant with your child?”
Shane pursed his lips in displeasure. “I'm not some irresponsible jerk, okay? We'll keep the baby if you do get
pregnant. Besides, did you really think I'd be worried about that after proposing to you?”
