Chapter 829

In other words, the designers of the dress were the only ones capable of coming up with the most
suitable makeup to go along with their masterpiece.

Natalie managed to doll Sally up within a short period of time since the white dress of hers had a
relatively simple theme. Thus, only simple eye makeup would do—no ostentatious makeup was required
to complement the masterpiece.

As soon as Natalie finished dolling Sally up, she handed over her dress to Sally.

The model gaped at the sight of the dress. She exclaimed breathlessly, “It’s so pretty, Nat!” “You need to
get going right now. Get yourself changed immediately! We only have fifteen minutes left until the show!”
Natalie stuffed the dress in between Sally’s arms once she finished her sentence.

Sally nodded and sprinted over in the direction of the fitting room. Similarly, the rest of the models
rushed over to the fitting room once the designers got their makeup done.

The sequence had been determined through drawing lots. Sally was the fortieth amongst the rest of the
models. There was nothing special about it since she was in the middle of the rest.

However, Natalie was grateful that Sally wasn’t one of the last few for the show. Otherwise, it would be
tough to please the judges after the countless ostentatious pieces portrayed.

The judges might be biased unless there was an exceptional masterpiece that could impress them by the
end of the session.

Jessie, whose model was the eighty-fourth to show up, was irritated.

Natalie noticed Sally had her eyes glued to the runway once she returned. Thus, the former urged, “Just
take it easy and have fun.”





In an attempt to calm herself, Sally clenched her fists with all her might. She then reassured Natalie, “I’m
not nervous at all! Instead, I can’t wait for my turn! I can’t believe I have the chance to be part of this
glamorous event!”

“Well, I’m glad you’re doing just fine.” Natalie heaved a sigh of relief and urged Sally for one last time,
“Do your best! I’ll return to the hall and join the rest of the audience.”

As a fellow designer, it was a great opportunity for her to learn from her peers and get a grasp of her
potential competitors’ capabilities.

She wasn’t the only one with that thought. In fact, most of the designers had departed. Only a mere few
chose to stay behind with their models.

Sally beckoned Natalie to leave her and assured, “You need to get going already! I’ll be fine!”

When Jessie caught Natalie making her way back to the hall after wrapping up the conversation she had
with Sally with a smile, she swirled her eyes and followed suit.

A short while after Natalie returned to the hall, the show commenced. The moment the first model
showed up on the runway, everyone had their eyes glued to her.

Natalie’s eyes gleamed in excitement. She immediately reached for her notebook and started jotting
down the details she deemed worthy of taking notes.

She could easily tell that Nolan’s mentee, Caitlyn, was the designer of the dress — she had once
encountered Caitlyn when the woman was better known as Mina back in the day.

A few days ago, Natalie encountered Caitlyn in the restroom, but Caitlyn seemed to have forgotten her.



When Natalie started jotting down the things she deemed worthy of taking notes, someone interrupted
her and asked, “Ms. Smith, are you taking notes?”

Natalie responded with a frown and turned around to look at the one who had shown up behind her.

It turned out Jessie had returned to a hall and was about to take a seat next to Natalie.

In return, Natalie nodded and answered, “I think it’s quite important to get a grasp of our competitors’
capabilities for the upcoming matches.”

“Ms. Smith, you’re such a hardworking woman!” Jessie ran her fingers through her hair, exposing the
earring she had put on.

The glistering earring caught Natalie’s attention. “Ms. Syke, that’s quite a unique earring you have.
They’re glistening in the dark in spite of them being matte earrings.”

When Jessie heard Natalie’s remark, her expression changed. She stopped messing around with her
hair and forced a smile in return. “These are obsidian earrings that have been coated with matte black
paint.”

“Oh?” Natalie answered with her brows arched in confusion. She found it unnecessary to coat obsidian
earrings with matte black paint, but in the end, she decided to pay no heed to it.

After all, she wasn’t in a position to pick on Jessie and her preferences.

Jessie’s racing heart stopped pounding furiously. She secretly heaved a long sigh of relief as Natalie
stopped getting to the bottom of her earrings.

Oh, God! That’s so close! I need to be mindful of my behavior and stop playing with my hair in the future!
