“The organizer booked our hotel rooms for us,” replied Mercede.

Natalie was relieved. “That's nice.”

“So, tell me. What are your thoughts about the upcoming competition?”

Hearing that question, Natalie's smile fell. She poured out all the issues she had faced thus far.

Listening to her, Mercede tried to offer as many helpful suggestions as she could.

As the competition was starting, the two finally ended their catch-up session.

Admittedly, with a mentor guiding the way, Natalie felt much more at ease. She was no longer as lost as before. For the coming competition, she felt more confident.

“Nat, over here.” Just as Natalie entered the competition hall, she heard Lina's voice. Looking over, she saw that Lina was already seated in front of their table. Lina was smiling and waving at her.

Natalie returned a smile. While supporting her stomach, she waddled over.

Just as she was passing through two tables, a leg suddenly appeared in front of her.

Natalie did not notice it at all, so she tripped and was about to fall face-first to the ground.

“Nat!” Lina's face paled as she called out.
