Sally danced in excitement as she spoke.
Walking the runway for the competition would be the biggest achievement of her career thus far.
Even famous models might not be invited for something that grand, so she was delighted that an unknown model
like her had the opportunity to do so. She could already imagine the jobs and resources she would get if she
accomplished that assignment well.
It is just a matter of time before I become an international model!
Thinking that got Sally to stare at Natalie like the latter was holding the key that would open the door to her
success.
Goosebumps rose all over Natalie when she saw Sally staring like that. The former couldn't help inching away and
asking, “Sal, are you okay?”
Sally cleared her throat. She was embarrassed because she knew that she was acting inappropriately, so she
quickly readjusted herself and said, “I'm fine.”
Natalie's smile returned. She handed Sally a document and explained, “This document contains all the information
about the competition's rules and the sequence that the models would present the clothes. Study them carefully.
We'll leave the country tomorrow afternoon to attend the opening ceremony.”
At first, the competition's opening ceremony was supposed to be held after Jacqueline's recovery banquet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnfortunately, an earthquake attacked the original site of the competition, so the organizers preponed the
competition by six months.
That forced every designer to rush a little, but that was good news for Natalie because it allowed her to bow out of
attending Jacqueline's recovery banquet.
“Okay, I will read up about it later,” replied Sally as she put the folder away carefully.
However, she frowned soon after, as if she had just recalled something.
Natalie asked curiously, “What's wrong?”
“It's Hannah. I think she got invited to be a model for the competition as well. She even called me yesterday just to
brag about it.”
Natalie seemed curious when she blurted, “Hannah? What credentials does she have? Who would invite her to do
so?”
It wasn't that Natalie looked down on Hannah's beauty. Truth was, Hannah had a sexy figure, but she definitely
didn't have the graceful aura to pull off something that grand. If anyone was to force a sophisticated design on
Hannah, the outfit will surely look like a piece of cheap clothing. Which designer is stupid enough to invite Hannah to
be the model? Seriously, a designer with a sense of beauty like that... Is that even a designer? Won't they worry
that Hannah would ruin their reputation as a designer?
“I don't know who the designer is, but I think her surname is Skye,” replied Sally after thinking about it.
“You mean Jessie Skye?” blurted Natalie as the image of the said woman flashed across her mind.
“Yes, that's her! The designer is Jessie Skye,” said Sally before she nodded.
Natalie frowned.
So it really is Jessie.
Natalie had only met Jessie once during the interview with Century.
The former sensed something bad from the latter, and it was weird, but Natalie couldn't tell what was off about
Jessie.
“Nat, what's on your mind?” asked Sally while waving her hand.
Natalie came back to her senses and shook her head before saying, “It's nothing.”
“If so, then let's go out and have a meal together. It's almost lunchtime, anyway,” suggested Sally after she
checked her watch.
Natalie nodded in agreement.
After lunch, Sally went home with the document about the competition.
Natalie decided to clock off earlier as well. She wanted to go home and prepare to celebrate Shane's birthday with
him.
Mrs. Wilson was delighted to see Natalie back. The former greeted, “Madam.”
“Mrs. Wilson,” greeted Natalie while setting down the cake and presents she got for Shane.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Wilson followed Natalie around and asked, “When will you move back in, madam?”
Natalie smiled and replied, “Probably tomorrow.”
She had already decided to forgive Shane that night, so there was no point in throwing a tantrum or living
somewhere else anymore.
“I am so glad to hear that,” said Mrs. Wilson. She clapped her hands gleefully.
She knew that the two of them would eventually get back together once the misunderstanding was cleared.
Naturally, seeing the two youngsters' relationship turning for the better made Mrs. Wilson happy.
“I'll go to the kitchen and prepare the dinner for everyone now, madam,” informed Mrs. Wilson.
Natalie nodded and replied, “Okay.”
After Mrs. Wilson left, Natalie put the cake in the fridge and fished her cell phone out to call Shane.
That was the first time Natalie called him since the fight began.
Shane was so surprised that he jumped in delight when he got the call.
“Hello?” greeted Shane in a deep, mesmerizing voice.
Natalie cleared her throat a little and said, “Happy birthday.”
Shane was taken aback for a moment. He later grinned and murmured a reply.
Natalie paused for a few seconds before she asked, “When will you be home tonight? Mrs. Wilson is making dinner
and will be waiting for you to come home.”
