Joyce tilted her head in puzzlement as she leafed through the notebook. “This is weird.”

“What is it?” Natalie asked curiously.

Joyce handed the notebook over to her. “These are all design blueprints, and it's rather mediocre. They don't look

like Jessie's design works at all.”

Like Natalie, Jessie had been lauded as one of the most talented designers in the country.

I've seen her designs before. They were at least in the same league as Nat's. But the ones in this notebook are

nothing more than the quality of an amateur.

“You're right.” Sally nodded in assent. “These drawings are no different from those of mass-market fast fashion.

They're not up to par at all.”

Natalie kept silent and continued to flip through the pages.

These really are just some substandard designs, which don't look like Jessie's usual work at all. What is going on?

Before she could dwell on it any longer, the airport broadcast called all passengers for boarding.

“Let's not overthink this. Maybe this belongs to Jessie's apprentice,” Natalie stated.

“Who in the world would carry their apprentice's stuff around? I know I wouldn't,” Joyce disagreed.

Sally nodded. “Me too.”

Natalie plastered on a small smile. “We shouldn't overgeneralize our own assumptions. Anyway, Joyce, I'm going to

rely on you to hold the fort at the company for the next few months while I'm away.”

“You can count on me,” Joyce reassured.

Natalie then turned to Sally. “Let's go.”

The two bade goodbye to Joyce before heading toward the boarding gate.

The plane landed after ten hours' flight.

Shane had already arranged for a driver to pick them up upon their arrival at the airport.

Instead of staying in a hotel, Natalie and Sally were taken to a villa owned by Shane. They were pleased to know

that the villa was situated not far away from the competition venue.

Sally walked into the villa and was immediately overwhelmed by the sheer grandeur of it. “Nat, this villa is

awesome!”

“It is indeed breathtaking,” Natalie muttered.

“Mr. Shane is so wealthy.” Sally let out a sigh of awe.

Natalie returned her with a smile. “Well then, make yourself comfortable. I'm going to make a phone call.”

“Checking in with Mr. Shane, right? Off you go.” Sally waved her hand.

Natalie dialed Shane's number while walking toward the balcony.

It's almost 8 o'clock in the evening over there.

Sharon's voice was heard when the call was answered. “Mommy...”

Natalie's heart dropped a little. “What's the matter, Darling?”

Did something happen over there?

“I miss you, Mommy, and I wish you're here.” Sharon sniffled softly.

Natalie smiled wistfully and tried to comfort her daughter, “I miss you too, my darling. But aren't I talking to you

right now?”

“But you're so far away.” The young girl's eyes welled up again.

Oh, how I wish to hold her in my arms right now.

Natalie softened her voice, saying, “Come on now. You know I'm away because of work, and you've promised that

you won't cry. Can you be strong for me?”

“I'm sorry, Mommy. I thought about how long you'll be away from me... I miss you so much.”

Natalie felt a pang of guilt in her chest. She had never been apart from the kids for such a long time since their

birth. I can't blame her for feeling insecure.

“Stop crying. I promise you can call me anytime you miss me. And when Daddy is free, he can bring both you and

Connor to come to visit me, okay?” Natalie continued to comfort her child.

“Okay.” Sharon finally stopped sobbing.

“That's my girl. Where's Connor and Daddy?”

“They're here.”

“Can you pass the phone to Connor so I can have a chat with him?”
