Just 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.
