Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 1062

"That's fantastic," replied Lina, feeling at ease upon hearing her partner's assertion. "I've got to run, Nat. I'm still packing my bags. Pick me up at the airport tomorrow, will you?" "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?"

"That's right. You're almost there."

Sally took a deep breath. "Understood. I'll give it my all for our sake. Even if I'm not as good as the veterans, at least I've tried."

Natalie was pleased with her friend's determination.

The following day, the two of them left for the airport to receive Lina after leaving the children in the villa. Fortunately for them, they caught sight of Lina arriving through the passageway without too long of a wait.

"Nat!" Lina squealed as she tossed her luggage aside to hug Natalie.

At the sensation of something soft cushioning against her midriff, Lina pulled away from her embrace and looked down.

"You're pregnant?" she exclaimed at the sight of Natalie's belly.

"I am." Natalie stroked her baby bump as she nodded.

"My God, it's only been six months since we last met. That would mean the baby is six or seven months along, right?" Lina touched Natalie's belly gently.

"Exactly six months," Natalie replied with a smile. "It was conceived after you left J City."

"That's fantastic news! I've seen Connor and Sharon, and they're adorable. I'm sure this one will be just as cute."

Natalie felt delighted upon hearing praise about her children. "Thank you for the kind words. By the way, let me introduce you to my model, Ms. Sally Oswald." She pointed at Sally.

Sally, who caught Lina's luggage earlier, loosened her grip on it.

As she was not included in the conversation earlier, she had bent over to pick it up.

Lina's eyes glinted with excitement at the sight of Sally. "So you are Nat's model? I saw you from a distance when I was coming out. Your neck and limps are very slender. Has anyone told you that? She's an excellent choice indeed, Nat. I believe that she will do my designs justice."

Natalie winked at Sally before responding, "You're right. Sally is born to be a model. I told you that you'd like her."

"Oh, you have no idea." Lina nodded vigorously.

At that, she pulled Sally by the hand. "After the international competition, I will be having an exhibition of my own designs. I would love for you to model for me."

"Model for you?" Sally repeated in disbelief.

What fantastic luck! I'd just come to pick up a designer from the airport, and right away, I'm offered a gig!

"What's wrong? Wouldn't you like to?" Lina frowned.

Sally shook her head at once. "Of course I would love to! I just haven't found my tongue in my excitement." Lina smiled. "Excellent. You'll be coming with me right after the international competition, then."
