Upon hearing Natalie's responses, Lina had gotten what she went there for. Hence, she uttered in a serious tone,

“Okay. I won't go in. Get ready and come downstairs, Nat. If you don't come down for lunch soon, you're going to

reach the competition hall late.”

“Competition hall!” Natalie yelled loudly, and she immediately pulled the blanket aside and jumped out of bed.

Nevertheless, she was weak, and she hadn't eaten anything yet.

Hence, when her feet touched the floor, she couldn't even support herself, and she slumped to the floor.

Luckily for her, the rug was thick, so she didn't feel much pain when she fell. She then held the side of the bed and

stood up. “Oh, no. I forgot about my work today! I—”

Lina was curious about what was going on inside the room. When she heard what Natalie said, she rolled her eyes

in amusement. “There's no need to rush, Nat. Mr. Thompson has already postponed your work to the afternoon.

Otherwise, why would I only come and find you now? Didn't Mr. Thompson tell you beforehand?”

Upon hearing that, Natalie froze as she was just about to put on her bathrobe. What? Everything has been

postponed to the afternoon? Does that mean I still have time?

Natalie sighed a huge breath of relief when she regained her composure. She sat on the edge of the bed and

uttered in amusement, “No. He didn't tell me anything about it. I didn't know!”

Lina pouted. “Well, it seems like Mr. Thompson had only made those arrangements after you fell asleep last night.

He should've left you a note or something to spare you the anxiousness.”

Natalie nodded. “You're right.”

That was exactly what she had just gone through—anxiety. If word got out saying that I was late as a judge, my

credibility in the designers' community would be ruined. By then, everyone would think I was a tardy person.

Lina knocked on the door and said, “All right, Nat. Come down soon, okay? It's time for lunch.”

“I know. Go down first, okay? I'll be there in a while,” Natalie answered.

“Okay.” With that, Lina left.

Natalie proceeded to put on her bathrobe and tidied up her bed. She then walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window

and opened it.

After stretching and breathing the fresh air while standing in front of the window, she went to the bathroom.

By the time she was done showering and getting ready, it was almost noon.

Natalie opened the door and saw the housekeeper wiping the staircase railing.

She walked up and said, “Clean up the room later.”

“Yes, Mrs. Thompson,” the housekeeper replied respectfully.

When Natalie was walking down the stairs, she saw Lina talking on the phone in the living room. Who is she talking

to? She seems joyful.

Natalie raised her eyebrows. Something's definitely up.

“You're here, Nat!” Lina waved at Natalie when she saw her coming down.

Natalie smiled in response.

Lina hung up the phone soon after that.

Natalie went to pour herself a glass of water and asked curiously, “Why did you hang up?”

For some reason, Lina felt embarrassed when she heard Natalie's question.

She couldn't help but lower her head awkwardly and clear her throat. “Well, I was done with the conversation.”

“Is that so?” Natalie crossed her arms in disbelief. “When I was coming down just now, I saw how excited you were

on the phone! It didn't seem like the conversation would end so quickly. Besides, I didn't hear you saying goodbye to

the person on the other end of the call. In fact, I think you're just too shy to continue the conversation after you saw

me. What? Are you afraid that I might overhear your conversation?”

“No!” Lina acted as if someone had just spooked her. “Why would I hide my conversation from you?”
