Joyce greeted her with a smile. “Nat, I've been waiting for you!”
Natalie forced a smile and asked, “What's wrong?”
“You're going to be part of an upcoming interview!” Joyce exclaimed, and handed over a document to Natalie.
“Interview?”
Nodding, Joyce added, “Yes! An interview session with those from Century—one of the most influential magazines in
Aploth! Their chief editor had gotten in touch with me in the morning, expressing their interest to interview you!”
“Why do they want to conduct an interview with me out of the blue?”
Although I'm no longer a nobody, I don't think I have made a name out of myself to the extent to be interviewed by
such a renowned magazine.
It won't be much of a surprise if they're aware I'm Mina after the competition, but not many have been made
aware of that as of now.
Joyce answered, “Century has agreed to conduct the session because of Mr. Horner's recommendation and your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdesigns! With that being said, it's actually a session that's conducted with another designer.”
“That won't be much of an issue, but who's the other designer we're talking about?”
Natalie wasn't particularly against the idea of being interviewed along with another fellow designer. After all, it was
a great honor to be interviewed by Century.
Caressing her chin, Joyce replied, “Actually, I'm not sure, but Mr. Horner told me Jessie would be there as well.”
Natalie asked with her eyes narrowed to a slit, “Jessie? Is she the one who has challenged me?”
“Yes! She has returned and purchased Jasmine's studio to set up her studio at J City!”
“She purchased Jasmine's studio?”
“I have just heard about it as well. As of now, it's still not open to the public yet.”
Natalie looked at Joyce and asked, “Alright, when will the interview session be conducted?”
“It'll be conducted at Walden Hotel at two o'clock in the afternoon.”
“Alright, inform me when it's about time. I'll return to my office first.”
Natalie took over the document and returned to her office.
Staring at Natalie's departing figure, Joyce tilted her head in confusion and thought Natalie seemed to be in a foul
mood.
However, she shrugged that off her mind and returned to her place.
When Joyce dropped by Natalie's office during lunch hour, she was certain her speculation was right—Natalie was in
a foul mood to the extent of having no appetite to have a meal.
“Nat?”
As soon as Natalie heard Joyce, she snapped out of confusion and asked, “Yes?”
“Hello? It's time for lunch! Are you telling me you're skipping lunch again?”
Natalie glanced at the time and noticed it was already half-past twelve. She tapped on her forehead and
announced, “My apologies! I'll head over immediately!”
She put everything aside and made her way to the entrance. However, she staggered and almost fell when she was
about to reach Joyce.
Joyce managed to stop her in the nick of time. Otherwise, Natalie might sustain another serious injury.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as Natalie brought herself up, she said, “Thanks, Joyce!”
“Nat, what's wrong with you over the past few days? Are you still in the middle of a conflict with Mr. Shane?”
As Natalie looked elsewhere and went dead silent when she heard Joyce's question, Joyce's eyes widened in
disbelief.
“Are you serious? It has been such a long time! Please tell me it's not going to last forever!”
Sighing, Natalie answered, “I wish to patch things up with him, but he has turned down the suggestion to have a
conversation with me. He was against the idea of meeting me in person, let alone telling me the things I had done
wrong.”
“That's very rude of him!”
Natalie closed her eyes in an attempt to keep her emotions to herself. She announced, “Joyce, I'm afraid I won't be
able to keep myself going for long.”
“What do you mean, Nat? Are you indicating you're going to file for divorce with him?”
“I hope that won't be the case, but if the situation persists as it is, it's only a matter of time until things get to the
point of no return. Connor told me I could always make my way back to the apartment if I couldn't take it anymore.
However, I decided to stay because I had no intention to give up just yet.”
