Natale was equally thrilled. She tapped on Sally’s shoulders excitedly and said, “Of course! You have blown their minds away with your performance! I think you’ll soon venture into the fashion industry once the competition is over! Maybe you’ll be the upcoming top model from a foreign country! At least you won’t have to waste your time competing against those in the country anymore!”
“Thank you so much for the great opportunity, Nat! If it weren’t because of you, I—” Sally expressed her gratitude with her eyes brimming.
“You need to keep those to your supervisor, my husband, Shane. If he hadn’t recommended you to me, I might have missed out on you.”
Sally nodded and said, “You’re right! Can you please express my gratitude on my behalf the next time you’re on the call with him?”
“I’ll go ahead and give him a call immediately!” Natalie reached for her phone and started dialing Shane’s number.
Shane, who was on the other end of the globe, had just wrapped up a conference and was on his way out of the conference room when he received the call.
Upon a simple glimpse at the phone, he beamed and picked up the phone. “Honey?”
Natalie flushed when she heard him. She asked in return, “Are you in the middle of something serious?”
Silas was about to hand Shane an agreement, but the latter stopped him and beckoned his assistant to leave him alone. “Nope.”
Natalie, who was on the other end, exclaimed, “Great!”
While making his way back to his office, Shane asked, “Have you gone through the first round?”
Silas shrugged his shoulders and went after Shane.
Natalie nodded and shared the great news with her husband. “It’s over! I’m a member of Team A!”
Shane was well aware of the rules. Thus, he was conscious of what it would take to qualify herself as a member of Team A. His eyes gleamed in excitement as he asserted, “Congratulations! I’m sure you have done well!”
“Thanks! Speaking of which, Sally wants me to express her gratitude on her behalf! She’s about to have the best time of her life soon!”
“Well, she deserves all the credits for her efforts. I have just provided her with an opportunity,” Shane denoted in a calm and collected tone,
When Natalie heard Shane, she took a peek at the sniffling Sally. Seconds after she returned to her senses, she said, “I guess you’re right.”
Shane was about to say something else to keep the conversation going, but he took a peek at Silas when the man’s ringtone interrupted his call with Natalie.
Silas responded with a sheepish grin and reached for his phone to stop the call. However, the moment he caught a glimpse of the contact number, his expression turned grim.
He showed Shane the phone and announced, “Mr. Shane, it’s a call from Ms. Graham’s security personnel. I’ll head out and answer the call.”
