CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“I'll be there,” Natalie promised.

After hanging up, Sally pulled her friend by the arm. “Who was it, Nat? It sounded like you guys were talking about me.”

Natalie took a sip of milk. “Lina Cohen, one of the most promising jewelry designers in the world. The next stage of the competition requires us to work with jewelry designers, and Lina happens to be my partner. I've mentioned it to you before during the opening ceremony, remember?”

Sally smacked her forehead. “It's a good thing you reminded me. Am I her model too for the next stage?”

“That's right.” Natalie nodded.

Sally smiled like she had a toothache. “I'm feeling the pressure now.”

“I understand, but it's a good thing for you too. After this competition, you would have a place in the jewelry design industry and not just limited to modeling for dresses or photoshoots for fashion magazines anymore.” Natalie patted Sally's hand.

Sally blinked. “Do you mean to say that I would be a high-profile model after this?”
