Meanwhile, Natalie and the others had returned to the villa. Soon after, Shane called.

Natalie was sitting by the window and looking outside when she received his call.

“Is your partner there?” Shane asked.

Natalie nodded. “Yeah.”

She was not surprised that he already knew. After all, she had bodyguards with her at all times. She knew that they would report everything back to him.

“Are you confident about the upcoming competition?” Shane asked as he organized some documents.

Natalie sighed. “To be honest, not really. The designers who have got this far are all really talented. It won't be easy to rise above all of them, but I will try my best.”

“I believe in you.” Shane nodded slightly. “Oh, by the way, I'll come over tomorrow.”

“What are you coming over for? It's not the weekend tomorrow.” Natalie blinked curiously.

“After the quarter-finals, it will be the final showdown. I want to be there for you for the last two rounds.”

Natalie felt touched to hear this, but she still rejected him. “You don't have to. I know there are only two rounds left, but each round takes super long. One round can last up to two weeks.”

This was due to the fact that the outfits had to be paired with jewelry.

If it was just plain clothing, each round would probably take a week.

However, with the addition of jewelry, one week was nowhere near enough time. The manufacturing of jewelry took much longer than clothing.

Hence, if Shane wanted to accompany her, he would have to stay for at least a month.
