Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086Just as that female designer was about to burst out laughing, a commotion came from the direction of
the door. In the next second, Natalie and Lina ran into the conference room, panting heavily.
“Hold on. We haven't submitted yet,” Lina anxiously exclaimed as she had her arms propped on her
knees.
At the sight of the two of them, the host furrowed his brows. “Why are you guys so late? Where's your
blueprint?”
“Here.” Natalie handed the folder to him.
Upon collecting it, the host placed it above the stack of other submitted folders. “I advise you guys to
come earlier in the future, instead of coming at the last minute. You'll get eliminated if you aren't as
lucky as today. Understand?”
“Got it.” Natalie and Lina both nodded their head in acknowledgment.
Luckily, they had arrived at the last minute.
In the crowd below the stage, the female designer's smile froze in place upon seeing the appearance of
Natalie and Lina. Her widened eyes were full of disbelief.
What left her even more stupefied was when Natalie submitted the folder.
How did things turn out like this? I'm sure their folder has got drenched. Technically, that'll ruin their
blueprints too. How did they still manage to submit in time?
The female designer's body started trembling slightly, and her face turned pallid.At that point, Lina was already sizing up the crowd. What caught her eyes was a female designer
whose expression was completely off.
In that split second, Lina knew who the perpetrator was.
“Nat.” Lina tugged Natalie at her sleeve. “I found it. It's her!”
Lina tilted her head in the direction of that female designer.
Natalie cast a stern gaze in the same direction. “It's Julian?”
Julian was a designer from an impoverished country in Northern Epea. Perhaps because of her lack of
confidence in her background, she had an aloof personality. She had barely mingled with the others,
not even during her time in Team A.
Despite so, Natalie had a deep impression of her, mainly because she was a talented designer.
Moreover, she was good at combining elements of her country's costumes with modern fashion. With
time to come, it was no doubt she would be the first Smealander to become the world's top designer.
It was a pity such a talented and capable lady like her would be consumed by her evil thoughts and
ultimately even resort to such despicable means.
Natalie shook her head and let out a sigh at the thought of that.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookLina asked, “What's wrong?”
“I'm just feeling regretful that there'll be one less new designer in the fashion design industry.” Natalie's
gaze was still fixated on Julian as she lamented.
Regardless of Julian's talents and capabilities, she had chosen to employ sneaky acts, proving her
character as a person. Since that was so, all she could do was accept the consequences that the fateof her career and achievements would only come thus far.
Lina pouted. “What's there to be disappointed about? She chose that path, and since that's her choice,
she'll have to bear the consequences.”
“You're right.” Natalie let out a weak smile.
Lina continued, “So, Nat, how are you going to deal with her?”
Just as Natalie was about to say something, the host's voice sounded through the microphone. “All
right, since everyone has submitted their works, that'll be all for today. I look forward to seeing your
finished products in a week.”
Upon finishing his statement, the host trotted out of the conference room.
Likewise, the designers all stood up and prepared to leave as well.
That was especially the case for Julian. Among the crowd, she was the first to leap up from her seat
and rush toward the exit even before she stood steadily. All she wanted was to escape from this place
as soon as possible.
In truth, she figured Natalie and Lina had found out the culprit of the water splashing incident when she
noticed how they glared at her multiple times earlier.
Hence, she did not want to stay there any longer. She ran as fast as she could toward the conference
room door as she was afraid that they might do something to her later.
Lina stomped her foot in rage after seeing the fleeing Julian. “Nat, look! She's trying to escape!”
Natalie narrowed her eyes. “Don't worry. There's nowhere she can escape.”Unlike Sean and Jacqueline, Julian was not as capable and influential. Natalie believed there was no
way she could escape and hide from the eyes of the others.
It was no wonder why Natalie could appear nonchalant about Julian escaping for now since capturing
her was an easy feat.
