Lina nodded again. “You're right. Can you give me a suggestion?”
“The so-called traditional is actually retro. You will be surprised to know that there is a wide variety of traditional
elements for jewelry in the ancient days of our country. For instance, pure gold jewelry, jade, pearl, and the
integration of flowers and feathers.”
Lina's smile froze at once. “My goodness! It never crossed my mind that there is such a long list! Oh, my! What
should I use then?”
After pondering for a while, Natalie responded, “It depends on the style of my gown then. For the traditional
costume of our country, one of the most common elements should be embroidery. However, we have to bear in
mind that we are designing a premium, lavish gown. It will turn out low-class if we use a piece produced by the
embroidery machine instead. Too bad, the time is insufficient for us to obtain a handmade piece of embroidery for
the gown. We have to really think it through.”
Hearing that, Lina said nothing as she fell into deep thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot only them, but the designers from the other two groups were discussing among themselves as well.
Then minutes later, the host announced that they could leave.
Natalie took her bag and walked out of the conference room with Lina.
“Natalie!” someone called out to her the moment she stepped out.
She stopped and turned, only to see that it was Jayson, the designer who had caused her to trip over previously.
Natalie stared at him and asked coldly, “How can I help you?”
Jayson was not the slightest bit displeased by her grimness. He bowed at her and apologized sincerely, “I'm sorry!”
Natalie was flabbergasted.
Lina's eyes widened in disbelief. “Nat, am I hearing things? He's apologizing to you!”
Natalie nodded at her, implying that she was aware of it. She cleared her throat and asked, “Why are you
apologizing to me?”
Jayson stood straight and replied guiltily, “It was me. I did that on purpose. I shouldn't have caused you to trip over
that day.”
Natalie raised her brows, astounded by his words. So he's admitting that he did it on purpose!
Folding both her arms across her chest, Natalie glared at him. “No doubt, I know you did that intentionally, but I
could not find any evidence. That's why I haven't taken any action against you. You can actually continue to keep
mum about it, no? After all, there's nothing I can do without any evidence. I'm curious though. Why are you willing
to admit it all of a sudden and even apologize to me now?”
Jayson lowered his head and replied sheepishly, “I guess it's because of what happened to Julian and the others. I'm
scared stiff. Even though I'm convinced that you can't do anything to me without any evidence, I can't say for sure
that you won't seek me out for payback right after the competition.”
“So you're apologizing to me now because you're afraid that I will settle the score with you after the competition
and you want me to let you off?” Natalie narrowed her eyes.
Jayson nodded in embarrassment. “Precisely.”
Lina rolled her eyes and scoffed, “What a coward! I almost thought you were really sincere and guilty of what
you've done. Guess I looked too highly of you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJayson's face flushed red at her words, but it was not visible due to his dark complexion.
“Natalie, will you forgive me?” Jayson felt a prickle of anxiousness when Natalie remained in silence.
Natalie gave him a glacial look. “Why should I forgive you? If Tina had not pulled me at the eleventh hour, do you
know what would have happened to my baby and me?”
Jayson gulped and was rendered speechless. He never intended to harm her baby. He was merely thinking of the
possibility that she might withdraw herself from the competition after sustaining a minor injury. He had totally
overlooked that she was pregnant!
In fact, after the incident, he had been living in remorse. He regretted being so impulsive.
Natalie gazed at him; her tone was icy-cold as she said, “Be frank with me. Who instructed you to do that to me?
Was it a man or a woman?”
Thunderstruck by her question, Jayson replied hastily, “A man.”
“What kind of man? Do you recall how he looked?” Natalie questioned.
Jayson nodded in an instant. “He resembles your husband, and he wears glasses.”
“I knew it!” Natalie clenched her fists. “How did he instruct you to deal with me?”
