Chapter 1464

Chapter 1464Upon hearing Natalie's responses, Lina had gotten what she went there for. Hence, she uttered in a
serious tone, “Okay. I won't go in. Get ready and come downstairs, Nat. If you don't come down for
lunch soon, you're going to reach the competition hall late.”
“Competition hall!” Natalie yelled loudly, and she immediately pulled the blanket aside and jumped out
of bed.
Nevertheless, she was weak, and she hadn't eaten anything yet.
Hence, when her feet touched the floor, she couldn't even support herself, and she slumped to the
floor.
Luckily for her, the rug was thick, so she didn't feel much pain when she fell. She then held the side of
the bed and stood up. “Oh, no. I forgot about my work today! I—”
Lina was curious about what was going on inside the room. When she heard what Natalie said, she
rolled her eyes in amusement. “There's no need to rush, Nat. Mr. Thompson has already postponed
your work to the afternoon. Otherwise, why would I only come and find you now? Didn't Mr. Thompson
tell you beforehand?”
Upon hearing that, Natalie froze as she was just about to put on her bathrobe. What? Everything has
been postponed to the afternoon? Does that mean I still have time?
Natalie sighed a huge breath of relief when she regained her composure. She sat on the edge of the
bed and uttered in amusement, “No. He didn't tell me anything about it. I didn't know!” Lina pouted. “Well, it seems like Mr. Thompson had only made those arrangements after you fell
asleep last night. He should've left you a note or something to spare you the anxiousness.”
Natalie nodded. “You're right.”
That was exactly what she had just gone through—anxiety. If word got out saying that I was late as a
judge, my credibility in the designers' community would be ruined. By then, everyone would think I was
a tardy person.
Lina knocked on the door and said, “All right, Nat. Come down soon, okay? It's time for lunch.”
“I know. Go down first, okay? I'll be there in a while,” Natalie answered.
“Okay.” With that, Lina left.
Natalie proceeded to put on her bathrobe and tidied up her bed. She then walked toward the floor-to-
ceiling window and opened it.
After stretching and breathing the fresh air while standing in front of the window, she went to the
bathroom.

Natalie opened the door and saw the housekeeper wiping the staircase railing.
She walked up and said, “Clean up the room later.” “Yes, Mrs. Thompson,” the housekeeper replied respectfully.
When Natalie was walking down the stairs, she saw Lina talking on the phone in the living room. Who
is she talking to? She seems joyful.
Natalie raised her eyebrows. Something's definitely up.
“You're here, Nat!” Lina waved at Natalie when she saw her coming down.
Natalie smiled in response.
Lina hung up the phone soon after that.
Natalie went to pour herself a glass of water and asked curiously, “Why did you hang up?”
For some reason, Lina felt embarrassed when she heard Natalie's question.
She couldn't help but lower her head awkwardly and clear her throat. “Well, I was done with the
conversation.”
“Is that so?” Natalie crossed her arms in disbelief. “When I was coming down just now, I saw how
excited you were on the phone! It didn't seem like the conversation would end so quickly. Besides, I
didn't hear you saying goodbye to the person on the other end of the call. In fact, I think you're just too
shy to continue the conversation after you saw me. What? Are you afraid that I might overhear your
conversation?” “No!” Lina acted as if someone had just spooked her. “Why would I hide my conversation from you?”
