The podium was right next to the doors to the conference room.

When Liam pushed Jasmine past the podium, Natalie noticed Jasmine's lashes flutter subtly.

Realization dawned on her. Jasmine is pretending to be unconscious!

After Jasmine was sent to the infirmary, the branch president stopped the live stream and announced the results of this competition round.

Alfred was sorting out the four selected design drawings when Natalie approached him.

Alfred smiled at her. “Nat, you came just at the right time. Are you interested in selling your design?”

“Sure.” Natalie nodded.

But even if she wasn't short of money, she would still sell her design because her studio was going on the path of promoting a more affordable range of clothing at the moment and couldn't even be considered an accessible luxury brand. Hence, her studio simply did not have the ability to carry such a top-quality and luxurious design.
