Chapter 45
What? These are such important people?
Natalie was quite taken aback. However, she recollected herself quickly, put on a gentle smile, and
introduced herself confidently. “Good day, everyone. I’m Natalie. I’m one of the shortlisted designers for
Project Rebirth, and I look forward to working with all of you.”
Even though she remained seated, she spoke with a nice disposition and amicable tone. No one would
think that she was being impolite.
It was apparent that Natalie was a well-mannered person. The business partners nodded in
satisfaction.
“Apart from letting you meet Mr. Jacques and the rest, I wanted to ask about your first draft. How is that
going?” Shane asked.
“It’s almost done,” Natalie informed.
Jasmine was quite shocked to hear this. Almost done?
It’s only been a few days! How can she be so quick?
It takes two to three days for me to complete just a basic drawing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd yet, Natalie is able to finish drawing up the designs for an entire project within a week? Is this what
it means to have an innate talent?
Jasmine gritted her teeth as envy surged within her.
Shane raised his brows in surprise too. “Well, that’s good. There’s a management level meeting
tomorrow, and Mr. Jacques will be attending together with the other business partners. Bring along your
draft and present it to everyone so that we can give some feedback and comments. We’ll also decide
whether you can be the chief designer for Project Rebirth. How does that sound?”
He fixed his eyes on Natalie and waited for her response.
Under his sharp gaze, Natalie subconsciously lifted her chest and replied without hesitation, “Sounds
good to me!”
She was very confident of her draft.
Furthermore, her mentor sang high praises of the designs when she sent them over last night.
“Alright then. Go ahead with your day.” Shane nodded, contented with the response. Then, he brought
the partners to the next station.
The group toured the design department briefly before leaving. Right before they stepped out, Jasmine
suddenly turned around and coughed a few times in Natalie’s direction.
Having no idea what she was trying to do, Natalie simply ignored her.
Shortly after, Ashley leaned over, looking rather ill. “Nat, do you have some tissue?”
“Of course.” Natalie tossed her a box.
“Thank you!” Ashley tugged a few pieces out of the box and dashed toward the door.
Seeing Ashley rushing out in a frantic manner, she shook her head in amusement. Then, she tidied her
drawings and took them to the printer to scan them.
Just as she was done, Ashley returned from the washroom with her face looking very pale.
Natalie jumped in shock when she noticed this. She quickly placed down her drafts and helped Ashley
to her seat. “Are you alright?” she asked with concern.
Ashley’s eyes darted to the drafts for a brief moment before looking away. She chuckled and told
Natalie, “Just something wrong with my stomach. Must be the food from lunch. The bathroom trip was
useless.”
“Should I bring you to the pharmacy to get some medicine?” Natalie suggested.
“No. I can’t even walk now with the pain. Nat, why don’t you help me with it?” Ashley waved her hand

“Alright. Wait for me here then.” Seeing how her colleague was in a lot of pain, Natalie decided to help.
After pouring a glass of warm water for Ashley, she left the office, hobbling away with her crutches.
Ashley watched Natalie limp down the corridor with an apologetic look on her face. However, that
expression was quickly replaced with fierce determination.
Ten minutes later, Natalie returned with the medicine. Ashley was resting with her head on the table.
She looked rather uncomfortable.
Upon seeing this, Natalie quickly took out the pills and passed them to her.
After swallowing them, she still lamented, “Urgh, I don’t think this medicine’s working for me. Seems
like I have to take the rest of the day off. I’m going to look for Ms. Jasmine.”
With that, she strode to Jasmine’s office with her hand pressed on her stomach.
Ashley ended up taking two days’ leave.
Natalie looked at the empty seat next to her. Seems like a rather serious case of food poisoning.
At that very moment, someone knocked on the entrance of the office. “Is Ms. Natalie Smith here?”
Upon hearing her name, she quickly recollected herself and stood up. “That would be me.”
“The management meeting is about to begin. Mr. Shane asked me to bring you over,” Silas adjusted his
glasses and said.
“Alright.” Natalie’s face turned serious. She picked up her briefcase and her laptop b
