Chapter 450

Chapter 450Joyce nodded. “That's right. It's produced by Starlight Entertainment. The company produced two very
successful idol groups recently and has launched a variety show just for them. They want us to design
the most fashionable outfits for their members.”
“Why us and not some other apparel company?” Natalie asked in confusion.
It's not uncommon for the entertainment industry to collaborate with the fashion industry. Well-known
superstars would be able to get free haute couture outfits, while rising ones would instead endorse less
popular luxury brands. However, I'm surprised that they'd choose to collaborate with a small-time studio
like ours...
“I too, found it strange too when they first approached me about this. After some clarification, I realized
it was you that they were after,” Joyce said as she sat down in front of her.
“Me?” Natalie pointed at herself.
“Yeah, you've made quite a name for yourself with Project Rebirth and your performance in the
previous design competition, and everyone thinks you're quite capable of creating your own luxury
brand someday. That's why Starlight Entertainment decided to gain our favor by collaborating with us.”
Joyce took a sip of her water before she continued, “That way, it would be easier for them to borrow
haute couture outfits from us in the future.”
“Oh, so that's why!” Natalie shook her head and burst into laughter.
Joyce set her glass down on the table. “What do you think, Natalie? Shall we accept their invitation?”
“Why not? It'd be a great opportunity for us to boost Studio Nouveau's popularity and speed up the
process of transforming it into a proper company! Once that's done, we can start producing luxury
items.”Joyce nodded in agreement. “You're right... I'll inform them of our decision, then.”
She then whipped out her phone and made a call at the balcony while Natalie went back to reading the
documents.
Someone else dropped by when she was almost done with it, but this person came straight in without
even ringing the doorbell.
Natalie stood up and stared at him in disbelief. “Mr. Shane? How did you get in?”
Shane was holding a tiny plastic bag in one hand while waving a white card in the other. “Connor gave
me the key card.”
Is it just me or did he sound kind of gleeful when he said that? Natalie frowned at the thought of that
and asked, “Why would he give you the key card? Also, when did he give it to you?”
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook“He gave it to me this morning.” Shane put the card into his pocket and made his way towards her as
he continued, “I told you, the kids want me to be their dad, so they gave me this after finding out that
we spent the night together.”
He looked a little surprised when he noticed Joyce standing at the balcony, but was quick to regain his
composure as he handed Natalie the plastic bag.
“What is this?” Natalie asked.
“Medicine,” Shane replied.
Natalie froze and tightened her grip on the plastic bag.
Medicine? As in, emergency contraceptive pills? I know it's not wrong for him to give me this, but... Is
he seriously that afraid of me getting pregnant with his child?Natalie took a deep breath and opened the plastic bag with a wry smile on her face, only to be
surprised by the contents inside. “These aren't emergency contraceptive pills?”
Shane frowned. “Why would I give you that?”
“Aren't you afraid of me getting pregnant with your child?”
Shane pursed his lips in displeasure. “I'm not some irresponsible jerk, okay? We'll keep the baby if you
do get pregnant. Besides, did you really think I'd be worried about that after proposing to you?”
