Meanwhile, Natalie and the others had returned to the villa. Soon after, Shane called.
Natalie was sitting by the window and looking outside when she received his call.
“Is your partner there?” Shane asked.
Natalie nodded. “Yeah.”
She was not surprised that he already knew. After all, she had bodyguards with her at all times. She knew that they
would report everything back to him.
“Are you confident about the upcoming competition?” Shane asked as he organized some documents.
Natalie sighed. “To be honest, not really. The designers who have got this far are all really talented. It won't be easy
to rise above all of them, but I will try my best.”
“I believe in you.” Shane nodded slightly. “Oh, by the way, I'll come over tomorrow.”
“What are you coming over for? It's not the weekend tomorrow.” Natalie blinked curiously.
“After the quarter-finals, it will be the final showdown. I want to be there for you for the last two rounds.”
Natalie felt touched to hear this, but she still rejected him. “You don't have to. I know there are only two rounds left,
but each round takes super long. One round can last up to two weeks.”
This was due to the fact that the outfits had to be paired with jewelry.
If it was just plain clothing, each round would probably take a week.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, with the addition of jewelry, one week was nowhere near enough time. The manufacturing of jewelry
took much longer than clothing.
Hence, if Shane wanted to accompany her, he would have to stay for at least a month.
How could he abandon his company for an entire month?
Shane already knew what she was thinking. With a slight chuckle, he replied, “Don't worry. I've assigned someone
to take charge for the time being. Once the competition is over, I'll go back.”
“Are you sure?”
Shane nodded. “Of course. Every large-scale company has trained employees who can take over. In case there is
an accident or some emergency, things will remain stable. Trust me.”
“Since you've said so, I guess there is no reason for me to say no.” Natalie grinned.
To be honest, she was quite looking forward to him staying with her throughout the competition.
All this while, it was usually her two children who kept her company. He was never around. She would be lying if she
said that it never bothered her.
Now, he was going to be there too.
“I'll give you a call tomorrow when I'm there. I still have some documents to deal with now before I hand them over
to my temporary replacement,” Shane stated.
“Okay. You go ahead and do what you need to. Don't stay up too late.”
After thot, she hung up the coll. As she set down her cell phone, someone knocked on her door.
“Come in.” Notolie looked ot the door.
The door swung open, ond her two children come borging in.
“Mommy, were you on the phone?” Connor osked.

“Come in.” Natalie looked at the door.
The door swung open, and her two children came barging in.
“Mommy, were you on the phone?” Connor asked.
Natalie nodded. “Yes, with your daddy.”
The two children's eyes lit up.
Sharon pursed her small lips. “How come you never let me talk to him? I miss Daddy. I want to talk to him too.”
“Sorry, Darling.” Natalie picked Sharon up and set her on the windowsill. “How about this? I'll let you meet Daddy
tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Connor raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying that Daddy will be coming tomorrow?”
“Yes, that's right. He'll be here to watch Mommy compete.” Natalie patted him lightly on the head.
Sharon was overjoyed as she clapped her hands in excitement. “Woohoo! We'll get to see Daddy again. Finally, our
family can be reunited.”
“That's right.” Natalie looked at the two of them with a gentle smile on her face.
“Right, why did you guys suddenly come in? Is there something you need?” Natalie asked.
“We have a secret to tell you. I saw Uncle Sean today,” Connor replied.
Natalie's expression instantly turned solemn. “What? You saw him?”
