CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“Erm...” Natalie stuck her tongue out in guilt when Mr. Horner mentioned Mina's name.

That's right. I have yet to tell the public that I'm Mina, the young designer who rose to fame last year.

Her mentor, Mercede, had instructed her to hide her identity as Mina when she returned home. He wanted her to carve a path out for herself as an independent designer in her home country and to only announce to the public that she was Mina after making a name for herself.

However, she had almost forgotten that she herself was Mina after burying that identity for so long.

Looks like it's time to tell the world about Mina's true identity. Combining my current identity as Ms. Smith together with Mina will surely be a huge stepping stone to my career as a designer.

With that in mind, Natalie took a deep breath and replied, “Mr. Horner, I get what you mean. I'm willing to become one of the judges for this competition, but there's another competition waiting for me after this. It's Aploth's Youth Design Competition. I wouldn't have been able to attend as one of the judges for this competition if not for Mr. Moore. I'm just worried about time conflict.”
