Natalie put Lucy's design down and said, “She may be able to get away with it this time around, but I doubt she will
be as lucky in the later rounds. She will definitely regret it later on. Let's finish grading these designs, and we'll have
to pick the participants for our team.”
Lina nodded. “I hope we don't get Lucy.”
“It doesn't matter even if we do. She won't be a burden to other participants if we can eliminate her as soon as
possible,” said Natalie nonchalantly.
After that, the two friends went over to the host and drew lots to select the participants for their team.
Once that was completed, they returned to the judges' panel.
The host took the list of teams and went onto the stage to announce the result.
In the meantime, Lucy sat in her seat nervously. She wondered which team she would be joining.
To be honest, she did not wish to join Natalie's team. If she did, Natalie would surely make things difficult for her

As such, Lucy began praying silently that she would not be assigned to Natalie and Lina's team.
In the end, her prayers were answered. Thankfully for her, she had been assigned to other mentors.
Lucy let out a huge sigh of relief.
Just then, the host spoke again. “Next up, we'll announce the members of the next team, which will be guided by
Ms. Smith and Ms. Cohen.”
Although Lucy had no wish to be on their team, that did not mean she was not interested in finding out who their
members were.
After all, Natalie was her enemy. If she could know more about the former's team, it would help her to defeat
Natalie.
Perhaps I can sabotage Natalie's team so as to cause them to be eliminated. When that happens, Natalie will be
eliminated as a mentor too and can no longer participate in the competition against other mentors. By then, she
will merely be a judge.
Lucy was very delighted at the thought of Natalie's impending elimination.
However, her joy was short-lived as it was disrupted by the voices of excitement that exploded around her.
She turned to see the participant, who was her “friend,” jumping in ecstasy. “Oh my God! That's great! I have been
assigned to Ms. Smith's team. Heaven is smiling on me. Hahaha!”
When Lucy heard that, her expression darkened instantly.
Now that that participant had been assigned to Natalie's team, it would mean that Lucy had to be separated from
her.
What am I going to do?
This participant is a naïve woman who is easy for me to approach. She will tell me anything I don't know.
The rest of them are very arrogant and don't want to have anything to do with me after finding out that I'm a
nobody. In the future, I won't know who to go to if I want to find out about something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that thought in mind, Lucy looked grim and helpless, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Even if she objected, no one would be willing to help her.
“All right. Now that the new teams have been announced, the participants can now go to your respective areas and
welcome your mentors,” said the host.
Having said that, he smiled with a bow and left the stage.
Lina stretched lazily before standing up from her seat. “Nat, let's go and greet our new participants.”
Putting the mineral water bottle down, Natalie responded with a smile, “Let's go.”
The two ladies then walked toward their designated area.
It was evident that Lady Luck was on their side. They had close to twenty participants under them, out of which four
were quite talented. The rest of them were not the cream of the crop, but their design standards were quite good
too.
In short, they had the potential to be outstanding designers.
After getting to know their participants, Natalie and Lina dismissed them.
