Chapter 843

Chapter 843Jessie had opted for bright-colored fabrics — the type of fabric that was the least chosen by designers.
No doubt the fabrics were appealing with striking colors, yet the design really mattered. With an
outdated design, the outfits made of bright-colored fabrics would turn out to be failures. As a result, the
stylish and classy images of models in those outfits would be tarnished as well. Thus, most designers
avoided choosing bright-colored fabrics during competitions. To Natalie's surprise, Jessie did not opt for
any other type of fabric other than the bright-colored ones. Huh! She's highly confident in her design!
“Ms. Smith, thanks for your compliment. I'd better don't interrupt you anymore. Besides, I have to start
sewing my outfit as well.” Jessie nodded slightly at her and walked away.
Natalie shifted her gaze away from her after a while and continued to focus on her tasks.
The woman managed to get her outfit sewn two hours later. She brought along the outfit backstage to
get Sally prepared for the runway session. However, there was no sign of the model there.
“Where is she?” Natalie mumbled in bewilderment and grabbed one of the models' arms. “Excuse me,
have you seen my model?” she asked anxiously.
The model happened to know Natalie, so she was aware that Sally was her model. After all, Sally had
basked in the limelight lately. Many from the fashion industry thought highly of her and predicted that
she would emerge as one of the most successful models in the near future. Thus, the other models
also tended to establish a good relationship with her.
The model shook her head and replied to Natalie at once. “She stepped out after answering a call three
hours ago. Since then, she hasn't come back yet.”

and gave her a call! So, she didn't come back after that? Could it be she's still looking for people to
identify the fingerprints on the broom?Natalie put down her clothes and whipped out her cell phone to give Sally a call. The call went through,
yet nobody answered it.
Natalie's heart sank. What's the matter? Is her cell phone on silent mode, or has she left it somewhere?
Gosh, I hope nothing bad happened to her!
No matter what it was, Natalie was under extreme circumstances.
She glanced at her watch and muttered to herself, “It's ten minutes to four now. The fashion show will
start exactly one hour later! I wonder if she will be back in time.”
Natalie rubbed her head in frustration and slumped on the chair in weariness. She tried to calm herself
down by thinking positively. I should wait a little longer. What if she is on the way back at the moment?
After waiting patiently for about half an hour, the other designers brought their outfits backstage one by
one. Models started to get changed and have their makeup done. Even so, Sally was still nowhere to
be seen.
Natalie was growing restless. She stood up and could barely wait any longer.
When she was about to step out to look for Sally, Jessie's voice sounded from behind. “Ms. Smith,
where is your model?” There was even a sense of bafflement in her tone.
Natalie froze in her steps and turned to look at Jessie.
The latter blinked her eyes and continued to ask as she looked around. “If I'm not wrong, you finished
sewing your outfit long ago. Why is it still there? Where is Sally?”
Natalie pursed her lips and answered impatiently, “Yeah, that's why I'm thinking of stepping out to look
for her.”“Look for her?” Jessie was stupefied and gasped, “Ms. Smith, does it mean to say that you are also
clueless of where your model is now?”
“Sort of,” Natalie replied indifferently and took the outfit before she left the dressing room.
She did not dare to take the risk of leaving it in the dressing room. If anyone takes the opportunity to
destroy it, everything will turn upside down!
Jessie continued to gaze at Natalie till her figure was finally out of sight. She stroked her chin as her
mind drifted into contemplation.
Two seconds later, she whipped out her cell phone and made a call. “Sally Oswald is not back till now.
Did you do anything?”
A woman's voice could be heard from the other side of the line, “Yes. I bumped into her outside the
security room when I was trying to destroy the security footage near the restroom. She was there for
the security footage as well. Therefore, I struck her on the head and knocked her unconscious. I'm not
sure if she has awoken.”
Jessie's lips lifted into a sly smile. “She's still not back till now. I guess she hasn't come to herself yet.
Well done! As long as Natalie is unable to look for Sally, she will be disqualified.”
