Chapter 1064“That's fantastic,” replied Lina, feeling at ease upon hearing her partner's assertion. “I've got to run,
Nat. I'm still packing my bags. Pick me up at the airport tomorrow, will you?”
“I'll be there,” Natalie promised.
After hanging up, Sally pulled her friend by the arm. “Who was it, Nat? It sounded like you guys were
talking about me.”
Natalie took a sip of milk. “Lina Cohen, one of the most promising jewelry designers in the world. The
next stage of the competition requires us to work with jewelry designers, and Lina happens to be my
partner. I've mentioned it to you before during the opening ceremony, remember?”
Sally smacked her forehead. “It's a good thing you reminded me. Am I her model too for the next
stage?”
“That's right.” Natalie nodded.
Sally smiled like she had a toothache. “I'm feeling the pressure now.”
“I understand, but it's a good thing for you too. After this competition, you would have a place in the
jewelry design industry and not just limited to modeling for dresses or photoshoots for fashion
magazines anymore.” Natalie patted Sally's hand.
Sally blinked. “Do you mean to say that I would be a high-profile model after this?”
“That's right. You're almost there.”
Sally took a deep breath. “Understood. I'll give it my all for our sake. Even if I'm not as good as the
veterans, at least I've tried.”Natalie was pleased with her friend's determination.
The following day, the two of them left for the airport to receive Lina after leaving the children in the
villa.
Fortunately for them, they caught sight of Lina arriving through the passageway without too long of a
wait.
“Nat!” Lina squealed as she tossed her luggage aside to hug Natalie.
At the sensation of something soft cushioning against her midriff, Lina pulled away from her embrace
and looked down.
“You're pregnant?” she exclaimed at the sight of Natalie's belly.
“I am.” Natalie stroked her baby bump as she nodded.

months along, right?” Lina touched Natalie's belly gently.
“Exactly six months,” Natalie replied with a smile. “It was conceived after you left J City.”
“That's fantastic news! I've seen Connor and Sharon, and they're adorable. I'm sure this one will be just
as cute.”
Natalie felt delighted upon hearing praise about her children. “Thank you for the kind words. By the
way, let me introduce you to my model, Ms. Sally Oswald.” She pointed at Sally.
Sally, who caught Lina's luggage earlier, loosened her grip on it.
As she was not included in the conversation earlier, she had bent over to pick it up.Lina's eyes glinted with excitement at the sight of Sally. “So you are Nat's model? I saw you from a
distance when I was coming out. Your neck and limps are very slender. Has anyone told you that?
She's an excellent choice indeed, Nat. I believe that she will do my designs justice.”
Natalie winked at Sally before responding, “You're right. Sally is born to be a model. I told you that
you'd like her.”
“Oh, you have no idea.” Lina nodded vigorously.
At that, she pulled Sally by the hand. “After the international competition, I will be having an exhibition
of my own designs. I would love for you to model for me.”
“Model for you?” Sally repeated in disbelief.
What fantastic luck! I'd just come to pick up a designer from the airport, and right away, I'm offered a
gig!
“What's wrong? Wouldn't you like to?” Lina frowned.
Sally shook her head at once. “Of course I would love to! I just haven't found my tongue in my
excitement.”
Lina smiled. “Excellent. You'll be coming with me right after the international competition, then.”
