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.

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.”
As soon as he acquired Shane's permission to leave, Silas headed over to the corner of Shane's office to pick up the
call.
On the other hand, Natalie noticed something seemed to be going on. She asked, “What's wrong?”
“It's nothing. Silas happens to be in the middle of a call as well.”
“O-Oh—”
Natalie then continued sharing the things she had gone through with Shane.

interrupting her.

turning pale and haggard.
Shane asked with a frown, “Why?”
Silas took a deep breath and announced, “Ms. Graham has attempted suicide.”

Silas nodded and added, “Half an hour ago, they headed into Ms. Graham's room to retrieve the utensils as usual.
However, Ms. Graham was nowhere to be seen. They started searching high and low for Ms. Graham. In the end,
they found her in the bathroom with her wrist slit.”
Shane grasped his phone and went dead silent. He started emanating an intimidating presence.
Natalie, who was on the other end of the call, overheard their conversation. She asked with a frown, “Shane, what's
wrong? Who has committed suicide?”
“Jacqueline!”
Natalie's pupils constricted. She asked to reaffirm the things she had heard, “What? Are you serious?”
“Unfortunately so.”
Natalie's mind was all over the place. It took her a few seconds to return to her senses. “W-Where is she? I-Is
everything fine?”
