Chapter 1068

Leaving that threat behind, Lina followed Natalie.

The male designer sat down nervously, his hand holding a pencil trembling slightly.

Thinking of the possibility of his design career coming to an end, he was terrified.

He was starting to regret what he had done to Natalie.

Good thing the cameras can’t capture my feet. There’s no way they’ll be able to prove that I did it on
purpose.

This thought made him much more relieved as he calmed himself down.

The competition officially began. The organizer went on stage and announced that the theme for this
round was galaxies.

Since the clothing had to be paired with jewelry, all the designs would have to be quite formal. That was
the only way to make the two aspects pair better together.

Therefore, Natalie’s job was to design an outfit that was galaxy-themed. Meanwhile, Lina had to design
and manufacture galaxy-themed jewelry.

Every jewelry designer had a different way of doing things. For example, they all used different jewels.
Hence, the organizer did not limit the designers to what materials to use. The designers were free to
request whatever jewels they needed and the organizer would gather the funds to purchase them.

The catch was that after the jewelry was manufactured and the competition was over, it would all
belong to the organizer. The designer was only allowed to keep the title of having made it.

This was a good thing, of course, for designers. After all, they did not need to fork out any money.



At their table, Natalie switched on her laptop and started searching for images relating to galaxies.

The photos were all gorgeous. They had an aura of mystery as well. There was no doubt that the
patterns would look very beautiful on clothing.

Just as Natalie was absorbed in flipping through the images, she heard a sigh from beside her.

“What’s wrong?” Natalie stopped scrolling and cocked her head over.

Lina lay on the table in defeat. “This theme is really very challenging for us jewelry designers.”

“How so?” Natalie raised an eyebrow.

Lina raised her head and rested her chin on her hand. “Think about it. What jewels on Earth look like
stars in the galaxy? Galaxy patterns are erratic and flawed. What rich person would buy a flawed-
looking jewel?”

“You got a point.” Natalie nodded.

It was indeed a problem.

Most jewelry was made of jade, diamonds, crystals, or gems.

Jade was mostly green with a few rarer colors. Diamonds were mostly white. There was definitely more
variety when it came to crystals. However, they were typically more pure-looking, so they were not
suitable either.

As for gems, they were not at a high enough range to be considered in haute couture fashion. Hence,
they were totally not in the running at all.



“Nat, what should I do?” Lina was at a loss. “The quarter-finals are a different league after all. It’s a
tough challenge for me to face.”

“I mean, you aren’t the only one facing this issue. All the other jewelry designers are probably having a
hard time too.” Natalie looked around at all the faces of the other jewelry designers. Clearly, they were
suffering from the same concern.

“You’re right.” When Lina saw that everyone else was struggling like herself, her eyes lit up. “I feel
much better now.”

Natalie shook her head helplessly before continuing to scroll through her images.

An image popped up onto her screen, and she suddenly had an idea. “Lina, take a look at this.”

She lightly elbowed Lina to get her attention.

“What is it?” Lina leaned over.

Natalie pointed at the image and said, “This is a picture taken by an astronaut on the moon. When we
look up to the sky from Earth, it’s filled with stars. However, looking down from the moon, it’s nothing
but darkness. I think this gives you a vague idea of what jewel to pick. You can go with obsidian or
black diamond. Basically anything that is pitch black.”

Hearing this suggestion, Lina instantly cheered up. “You make a good point. Anyway, black is the color
of the background of any galaxy. I’m sure the outfits you design will contain a multitude of colors to
recreate the mysterious atmosphere in space. In that case, black jewelry will be perfect to complement
it without overshadowing the look. I know exactly what to do!”
