Chapter 53

Jasmine, who was also at the meeting, was green with envy. However, there was nothing she could do

apart from watching Natalie win applause from the seniors.

Of course, Natalie felt her jealousy, but the former did not take it to heart and calmly carried on with her

design concept.

Shortly afterward, the meeting ended and the crowd dispersed.

Jasmine rose and walked towards Shane, intimately entwining her arms around his. “Shane, shall we

have dinner at my place tonight? My dad misses you.”

She intentionally emphasized “my dad” and glanced at Natalie, savoring the satisfaction of seeing

Natalie pause briefly from organizing her design drafts.

Natalie used to be the princess of the Smith family, while Jasmine was born out of wedlock.

Natalie could legitimately call “Daddy” but Jasmine could only do so secretively.

Now, Natalie was no longer the Smith princess and she could no longer call Harrison “Daddy”. She

could not even tell anyone about her relationship with the Smiths. Jasmine was most delighted by this!

Jasmine’s actions and thoughts were read by Shane instantly. He frowned slightly. “No, I can’t. I’m busy

tonight.”

He then pulled his arm away from her.

Jasmine felt disappointed and humiliated having been rejected on the spot. “What is it? Is it urgent? If

it’s not, do come. All the dishes are being prepared as we speak.”

“What do you think? It’s Grandpa’s death anniversary.” Shane glanced at her briefly.

Jasmine gaped but no words came out. She was scolding Susan silently.

That idiot! Of all days to invite Shane to dinner, what made her choose Grandpa Thompson’s death

anniversary? Does she deliberately want him to scold me?

I’m so flabbergasted!

Seeing Jasmine suffer from humiliation, Natalie could not stop herself from giggling. This had the

added effect of lifting Natalie’s mood, which had earlier turned sullen because of Harrison.

Shane’s eyes lit up momentarily as he saw Natalie smiling like a little fox before quickly turning grave

again. “When will the finalized designs be ready? I will then ask Silas to arrange for models.”

“Mr. Shane, we are not in a hurry to look for models; they are always available. I will finish the drafts

very soon. Having said that, the fabric is the main concern.” Natalie stood up when she was done

sorting her design drafts.

“What is wrong with the fabric?” Shane turned serious.

“It is quite problematic.” Natalie opened up her laptop and turned the screen towards him. “The first

chart shows the high-quality fabric we currently have in stock. The second chart shows the types and

quantity of fabric needed for Project Rebirth. Unfortunately, we are lacking two-thirds of these fabrics so

we need to restock them.”

Shane studied the laptop screen attentively. “Restocking is fine, but I see that the ‘color’ column next to

your chart is marked with the word ‘dye’. What does it mean? Is there a need to redye it?”

“Yes. Since there are many colors, it is impossible to buy every color of every type of fabric. What we

need is to order white fabric and dye it into various colors by ourselves,” Natalie nodded and answered.

Jasmine, who was standing aside, felt immensely threatened when she saw the two so close to each

other that nobody could fit between them.

This sense of threat also reminded her that chasing Natalie away would not solve the problem. She

needed to be proactive in order to have Shane for herself. The best way is to get intimate!

When that happened, her position as his fiancée would become solid and she would not need to worry

about him being snatched away.

Deep in her thoughts, Jasmine clenched her teeth and left the conference room.

Naturally, Natalie and Shane were aware of her leaving, but they were unbothered by it and continued

discussing the fabric issue.

“Looks like we need to redye a great deal of fabric.” Shane pointed at the laptop screen with his long

and slender finger.

Natalie agreed, “Yes, Mr. Shane. That is why I need a dye room.”
