"I'll never forget the encouragement you gaveall those years ago," Nellie said, pulling out the gift Jasmine

had given her back then. Jasmine gasped, "Was that really you?"

She looked at Nellie in disbelief. "It's been years, and you've really blossomed."

Nellie blushed. "It's all thanks to the inspirational quote you gaveback then; it helpedfind my way back."

Jasmine was taken aback, her eyes welling up with tears. "Nathalie, I've always admired you. If you hadn't

stepped away from this path, | believe we would have been the perfect team." Nellie's face turned pale. "What

do you mean? I've never given up on fashion design."

Jasmine stood up, shocked. "Really? But your husband said..."

Nellie quickly realized the situation. Cameron must have been spreading lies to boost Greta's position. "Jasmine,

he doesn't speak for me. I'm not giving up on my career." Jasmine was thrilled. "That's fantastic news."

She wrapped Nellie in a tight hug. They talked about everything, from fashion design to personal interests. As a

mentor, Jasmine was genuinely concerned about Nellie's life outside of work, understanding how closely personal

and professional lives are connected. Nellie casually mentioned her struggling marriage and her ambitions in

business. Jasmine, deeply moved, said, "I thought Greta was tenacious despite her challenges. | wasn't fond of

her flashy style, but her determination wonover. | had no idea it was your hard work behind her success."

Nellie felt anxious, unsure if Jasmine would judge her for her personal struggles.

To her surprise, the next day, Jasmine's assistant delivered a letter. In it, Jasmine invited Nellie to becher

sole protégée, suggesting she drop out of school and join her after the holidays.

Nellie was over the moon.

The assistant shared in her joy. "After Jasmine returned yesterday, she looked into your background. Once she

confirmed your story, she decided to take you under her wing. Ms. Nathalie, your hard work is finally paying off."

Nellie, eyes brimming with tears, bowed to the assistant. "Thank you for bringingthis amazing news."

The assistant smiled warmly. "Ms. Nathalie, just a heads-up, Jasmine is quite strict. You might want to take

advantage of the break to do all the things you've been meaning to do. Once you're with her, it'll be nonstop

work." "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind," Nellie replied.

After the assistant left, Nellie sat on her bed, stunned and elated.

Lizzy, too, was thrilled for her. "While you've got sdowntime, you gotta think about any dreams or wishes

you'd like to fulfill. Let's make them happen now, so you have no regrets."

Nellie gazed into Lizzy's bright, innocent eyes, which were so different from her own solitary moments by the

window at night.

Nellie said, "Lizzy, go pick out a piece of fabric for me. Don't worry about the price just choose one you love."

Lizzy was confused but agreed. "Alright, I'll go now."

Not long after Lizzy left, Nellie received a text from Cameron. She frowned, wondering if he was so persistant

that he'd dig up her contact info.

After a moment, she opened the message.

[Nel, Cameron's hosting a celebration dinner fortonight. | hope you can make it. I've missed you.]
