Chapter 217
Ms. Carter’s words touched Natalie’s heart. Natalie smiled and thanked her, as she was extremely
satisfied with her attitude.
After one week of observation, Natalie found the caretaker very attentive and responsible with her job.
The most important detail was that the caretaker’s background was squeaky clean with no previous
conviction. So, Natalie was confident to leave Connor to her.
“I’ll get going.” Slinging her bag over her shoulders, Natalie waved at Connor before nodding at the
caretaker. She left the hospital and hailed a cab.
A ck Mercedes was parked by a roadside not far away from the hospital. Ss turned around and
reminded, “Mr. Shane, Ms. Smith has left the hospital.”
Shane lifted his chin slightly and said, “I know. Take the vitamins to Ms. Carter and ask her to put some
into Connor’s food every day. And remind her to…”
“Not let Ms. Smith notice?” Ss smiled as he interrupted Shane before he could finish his sentence.
Shane swept a nce at Ss coldly and kept quiet.
Ss tucked his head in and got off the car quickly, following Shane’s orders.
About ten minutester, Ss came back to Shane with his phone in his hand. “Mr. Shane, the bidding
department called me just now and asked if you would take part in the winter fashion bidding exercise.”
“When?” Shane lifted his gaze from the tablet.
“Two in the afternoon.” Ss took a nce at his watch.
Shane pondered for a while and asked, “Whichpanies are taking part in this?”
Ss replied, “Basically everypany in J City. But there were also some studios.”
When Shane heard the word ‘studio’, a light shed across his eyes. “Is Studio Nouveau one of them?”
“I’m not sure. Should I ask them?” Ss shook his head and tried to test Shane.
“No need. We’ll go there.” Shane pursed his lips.
“Yes, Sir.” Ss buckled his seatbelt and started the engine.
When they reached their destination, the person in charge weed Shane passionately and took them
to the private room on the second floor.
Standing in front of the window of the private room, Shane looked below him and precisely found Natalie
in the hall on the first floor.
Wearing a serious expression, she was sitting in the middle seat of the secondst row with a bid
proposal in her hands.
At that moment, Natalie felt as if someone was looking at her, so she closed the proposal and looked up,
scanning the area.
“Nat, what are you looking for?” Sitting beside Natalie, Joyce felt odd seeing Natalie looking around the
area. It seemed like Natalie was looking for something, someone perhaps.
“I think someone was looking at me just now.” Natalie knitted her brows and answered uncertainly.
Upon hearing that, Joyce looked around, but she didn’t see anyone looking at Natalie. “I don’t think so.
You must be imagining things.”
“Maybe.” Natalie opened the proposal once again, reluctant to waste her time mulling over this matter.

Joyce looked at her watch. “The bidding will start after ten minutes. I’ve checked just now. Other than
those established fashionpanies, there are three other studios here. Our winning chances are so
slim.”
Natalie chuckled softly. “It’s not slim. We don’t have a winning chance at all. We can’t win against those
established fashionpanies, let alone other studios like us.”
Joyce sighed. “I didn’t think this through. I heard that the prize this time is a project as high level as
Project Rebirth. So, I thought that if we managed to take it, our studio can be apany. But who
knows there are so many rivals here. I shouldn’t have registered.”
Natalie ruffled her hair and said, “Nevermind. We’re already here, so we might as well give it a try.
Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom.”
With that, she got up and left the hall after cing the bid proposal on her seat.
When Natalie went to the restroom, she froze when she saw Jasmine touching up her makeup in front of
the sink. What a small world. I can see her no matter where I go.
Jasmine looked at Natalie in shock. Never would she have foreseen their reunion here.
