Initially, Jessie expected Natalie to be kicked out of the competition for being late. Out of her expectation, the
woman had managed to be back on time. Huh! Now that she has no clue about Sally's whereabouts, it's definitely a
twist! As long as Sally can't be back in time, she won't be able to do anything. She will surely miss a boat this round!
She hung up blissfully and made her way back to the make-up room to apply make-up for Hannah. Jessie was
seemingly over the moon because of the sure bet that Natalie would be disqualified for being late. Even Hannah
could not dim Jessie's spirits.
In the meantime, Natalie continued calling Sally as she made her way toward the dressing room where Shane and
the kids were. Again, her model did not answer her calls. Right that instant, Natalie was panic-stricken; she was sure
that something must have befallen Sally.
“Connor.” Natalie knocked on the door of the dressing room.
The door opened within seconds, and Shane emerged at once. He raised his brows and asked surprisingly, “Why
are you here during the competition?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don't have time to explain things. Where's Connor?” she asked hastily.
Shane stood aside and let her step in. “He's inside.”
Shane narrowed his eyes as Natalie stepped into the room hurriedly. Did anything happen? He closed the door
swiftly and followed her.
“Connor!” Natalie called out as she advanced toward the kids.
Connor was playing games with Sharon to kill time. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Natalie. “Mommy!”
Sharon climbed down from the sofa instantly and dashed toward Natalie. “Mommy, you're back! Can we go home
now?” Wrapping her arms around Natalie's legs, she asked excitedly.
Natalie stroked Sharon's hair affectionately. “Darling, we can't go home yet as the competition hasn't ended. Just
wait for a while more, okay?'
“Alright,” Sharon mumbled and lowered her head in disappointment.
Natalie patted her shoulder gently to console her daughter. “Darling, can you have your own fun for a while? I have
something to discuss with Connor.”
“Alright.” Sharon moved aside obediently.
Connor glanced at Natalie and asked inquisitively, “Mommy, what's it?”
“I need you to do me a favor,” Natalie replied.
Shane approached them and asked curiously, “What's the matter?”
“Sally is missing. I need Connor's help to trace her current location with her phone number. This is her number.”
She handed her cell phone to him. Connor took a look at the number and learned it by heart. Next, he accessed a
mysterious website directly with the cell phone and connected the satellite system to trace her current location
based on her phone number.
As long as Sally was having her phone with her, Connor would be able to track her no matter where she was. Even
so, Natalie was worried that Sally's cell phone was not by her side at the moment. She gazed at Connor
apprehensively with her hands clasped.
Shane wrapped his arms around Natalie and asked softly, “What happened? Sally is missing? How is that possible?”
As Natalie's model, I'm sure Sally knows the importance to comply with the dos and don'ts of the competition. It
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoesn't make sense for her to go elsewhere impulsively without informing Natalie. It seems that something terrible
has befallen her.
Natalie rubbed her face wearily. “It's my fault. I went to the washroom right before the competition started and
ended up getting locked in the toilet. Someone was seemingly setting me up so I would be disqualified for being
late.”
“What?” Shane stiffened. I can't believe that actually happened!
Natalie let out a deep sigh and continued to explain, “I gave Sally a call and requested her to come to my rescue.
Someone had actually locked me from outside with a broom. After she got me out, I asked for her help to get the
fingerprints from the broom identified. Apart from that, I thought of finding out the person who locked me up in the
toilet. Thus, I reminded her to drop by the security room and have a look at the security footage near the restroom.
She has not come back since then.”
“I bet something must have happened to her,” Shane commented abruptly.
Natalie agreed and nodded. “I share the same sentiments as you.”
Initially, she assumed that Sally was not back yet from the fingerprint identification, but she thought otherwise after
giving the situation some thought.
