Chapter 437

Natalie looked up at Shane and asked in confusion, “What’s going on here, Mr. Dylan?”

Mr. Dylan chuckled. “Mr. Shane contacted me a while back asking for another invitation. He said it was
for you, Ms. Smith.”

Natalie’s jaw dropped in surprise when she heard that.

So it wasn’t Mr. Dylan who sent me the invitation, but Shane instead! And here I thought it was because I
made a name for myself here in J City and was noticed by Mr. Dylan…

Noticing the somewhat disappointed look on her face, Shane gave her hand a light squeeze and said,
“Hey, don’t look so disheartened now. Mr. Dylan wouldn’t have sent you an invitation unless your work
impressed him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to give me the invitation even if I asked.”

“That’s right. I didn’t agree to send him the invitation until he showed me your blueprints. Ms. Smith, the
style of your design is very similar to mine and I must say you are very creative. While it may be a little
green at the moment, I’m sure you’ll reach my level over time with your amazing talent!” Mr. Dylan said
with a look of admiration in his eyes.

Having been praised by her idol, the disappointment in Natalie was immediately replaced with joy and
excitement.

“You give me too much credit, Mr. Dylan! I still have a long way ahead of me!” she said shyly and waved
her hands in embarrassment.

Shane raised an eyebrow in amusement upon seeing her looking shy and flustered.

She has never been one to shy away from compliments, and yet she’s getting all flustered when it comes
from Mr. Dylan… Haha, she looks kind of cute!





“It’s true that you still have a lot to learn. Your style isn’t fully mature just yet, and I noticed a hint of
disorder in your design. However, it isn’t as bad compared to the ones from other designers of your level.
Do you have a mentor, Ms. Smith? If not, how would you feel about having me as your mentor?” Mr.
Dylan asked with a smile.

All the other designers and appraisers nearby were shocked when they heard that.

It’s been more than ten years since Mr. Dylan has taken in an intern! There have even been rumors
claiming he’s done with mentoring! Is he seriously offering to mentor someone right now?

Natalie was surprised and even slightly tempted by his offer, but she politely rejected it in the end. “I’m
sorry, Mr. Dylan, but I already have a mentor.”

That surprised everyone else around them once again, except for Shane.

Is she serious? She has actually rejected Mr. Dylan’s offer to be her mentor?

“Oh? Who is it?” Mr. Dylan was somewhat surprised as well, but he maintained the smile on his face
anyway.

“You know her too. It’s Mercede Mackenzie,” Shane spoke up before Natalie could say anything.

Everyone around them gasped in shock and disbelief.

It’s no wonder she has rejected Mr. Dylan’s offer so readily! She’s got herself a mentor who’s on par with
him! So this is the world of geniuses, huh…

“That old hack?” The smile on Mr. Dylan’s face was instantly replaced with a look of disgust when he
found out Mercede was Natalie’s mentor, and he walked away right after that.



Confused by his sudden change in attitude, Natalie asked, “What happened? Why did Mr. Dylan get so
mad all of a sudden?”

“Mr. Dylan and your mentor competed for many awards in their younger days and had a mutual hatred
for each other since young,” Shane whispered into her ear.

“Really?” Natalie’s eyes widened with shock.
