“Okay.” Natalie then returned to the dressing room and asked Joyce to go home.
It was a weekend, and Natalie was worried about leaving the two children alone for the entire day.
She would feel better if Joyce went home to them.
Around half an hour later, the models were finally done with the makeup, so Natalie instructed the
dressers. “Now, you can open the boxes.”
The dressers were already curious about the boxes, so they had no problem following the instruction at
all.
People were amazed the moment the contents were revealed.
“How did you get another set of the outfits, Ms. Natalie?”
“That’s not what you should concern yourself with right now. Hurry up and get the models dressed!”
Natalie hustled the crew by clapping her hands, and everyone quickly got down to work.
The show then started officially before long.
Seated among the audience, Jasmine’s heart pounded inside of her as she stared expectantly at the T-
shaped stage.
She imagined that the models would either not show up or appear on stage with those slashed outfits.
Either way, Natalie will be banned from the fashion industry forever!
Dang!The lights in the hall dimmed, and the music started to play.
After the host left the stage, the opening model appeared out of the backstage with arms akimbo. She
struck a pose before strutting to the front end of the stage.
Jasmine grimaced as the model got closer to the audience and whispered in disbelief, “How’s that
possible?”
Weren’t the outfits ruined?
Why does the outfit on the model look perfectly fine?
Jasmine bit her lips, and bafflement was written all over her face.
She only got more irritable as the models came out one by one.
The show was nothing like what Jasmine had expected, so after stomping her feet in anger, she
decided to leave.

anyway.
Not many noticed what happened, so there was no commotion.
It was only the middle of the show, but Shane already knew it was a success when he noticed how
impressed the critics and the audience were. Starting tomorrow, the apparel company under the
Thompson Group will have a place in the industry.
At that moment, Silas approached Shane and bent over to whisper something in the man’s ear.
“Good. Make sure she stays put.” Shane nodded.“Yes, sir,” responded the assistant before leaving.
Shane then shifted his focus back onto the stage. The show was coming to an end, so the models all
returned to the stage for the curtain call. At that point, Natalie also walked onto the stage with a
microphone.
As the chief designer of the show, she was to give a speech.
After that, Shane took the bouquet handed by the staff and went on stage to give it to Natalie.
Natalie was pleasantly surprised but also confused.
I know Shane’s supposed to give a speech as the organizer, but he didn’t mention anything about the
flowers.
Although Natalie was confused, she just kept smiling as she exchanged her microphone for the
bouquet.
Standing beside Natalie, Shane gave a very straightforward speech but suddenly turned to her near the
end. “The person I’m most grateful for is Ms. Natalie because this show wouldn’t have been possible
without her.”
Natalie never expected Shane to publicly call her the person he was most grateful for, so she was quite
shocked.
“Thank you, Ms. Natalie!” Shane opened his arms to Natalie. “You saved the apparel company of
Thompson Group.”
Those words brought tears to Natalie’s eyes.She took the microphone from Shane. “First of all, I’m very touched by Mr. Shane’s show of
appreciation. Secondly, I want Mr. Shane to know that the show wouldn’t have been possible either
without his trust, recognition, and full support. So thank you, Mr. Shane.”
