“You mean Ashlyn Myler?” Lina arched a brow.
Natalie spun the pencil in her hand. “Yeah. While we were talking, I noticed her putting
down the pencil in her hand before picking up her design with a pleased smile on her face.
So, I reckon she completed her most satisfactory draft in a single attempt, like us.”
“But she seems to be wearing a dark expression right now,” Lina countered, rubbing her
chin.
At that, Natalie heaved a sigh. “Her partner dragged her down.”
“Her partner?” When Lina heard her comment, she immediately directed her gaze at the
costume designer beside Ashlyn.
That costume designer turned out to be one of the many designers who were frowning
earlier.
Biting her pencil, the costume designer regarded Ashlyn carefully and said something or
other to the latter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the conversation progressed, Ashlyn's expression grew increasingly grim. In fact, she
appeared to be teetering on the verge of blowing up.
At that scene, Lina could not help but gloat over their predicament. “Her partner can't
compare with us at all.”
Shrugging, Natalie commented, “I know a bit about her partner. She's a talented designer.
If she's without talent, she couldn't possibly have attained such fame today. It's just that
her style doesn't match Ashlyn's. Her costume design style is more inclined toward punk
metal. Contrarily, Ashlyn's jewelry design is noble, elegant, mature, and charming. How
can these two styles meld together?”
“It seems that Ashlyn is going to lose to me,” Lina joked, narrowing her eyes a fraction.
That had Natalie torn between mirth and exasperation. “All right. Stop that.”
“I was merely kidding.” Lina waved a hand. Subsequently, her expression went back to
normal. “But honestly speaking, it's a pity if Ashlyn really gets dragged down by her
partner and fails to make it to the second round of the competition. If that happens, I
wouldn't have a chance to compete with her.”
For that reason, she actually hoped that Ashlyn's partner would live up to her expectations
and do her best to advance to the second round of the competition with Ashlyn.
She believed that she and Natalie would definitely make the cut, so she hoped the same
for her rival, Ashlyn.
Only then would she and Ashlyn be able to have proper competition.
Natalie's eyes remained fixed on Ashlyn. “Yeah. Ashlyn must be looking all grave now
because her partner's design style differs greatly from her design. If they don't discuss
making amendments, they'll certainly lose.”
Lina was also aware of Ashlyn's precarious situation then. However, she chuckled
unworriedly. “It's okay. Despite the vast difference in their design styles now, I believe
they'll undoubtedly be able to turn the tables. Otherwise, Ashlyn wouldn't have gotten her

style before seeking her out.”
Natalie bobbed her head in agreement. “You're right.”
“Therefore, she surely knows that the costume designed by her partner won't match her
jewelry. Otherwise, why is there no surprise on her face but severity alone? Thus, she has
likely anticipated this situation. I believe that they will be able to turn the tide in the next
two days.”
“You've got great confidence in her,” Natalie remarked smilingly.
Flipping her hair, Lina answered cheekily, “Of course! No matter what, she's my rival. I've
still got that much confidence in her.”
“In that case, don't worry about not being able to compete with her later.”
“Exactly,” Lina seconded.
Natalie made to stand up. “Okay, let's submit our drafts. Aren't you still waiting to hold
Anders?”
At the mention of Anders, Lina's eyes promptly lit up. She instantly sprang to her feet.
“Come, let's go! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and submit our drafts. Quick, Nat!”
