In the meantime, all the designers and models were waiting in the dressing room for the catwalk show to start. That being said, none of the models went up to the stage when the show was supposed to start. Because of this, everyone was starting to get riled up.
Peeved, Jessie had a scowl on her face.
Where are the models?
Shortly after, the host of the show came out of the dressing room and announced that the show would be delayed for an hour.
Upon hearing the announcement, the designers and models were rather perplexed as to why the show was being delayed.
In distress, Jessie’s face turned pale.
Could it be that Natalie’s model going missing is the reason why the competition is delayed?
A while later, the host glanced at the designers and models before uttering in a deep voice, “It has come to my attention that someone among you has deliberately injured Natalie’s model. Sally is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. We’ll continue the catwalk show once she’s done with her treatment. Regarding this incident, the organizer has already instigated an investigation. With that said, I would suggest the culprit confess now, or else…”
The host turned around and left without finishing his sentence.
Terrified, the designers and models began trembling in fear.
With a pale look on her face, Jessie clenched her fists.
I can’t believe Natalie actually found Sally!
Things are getting more complicated now that the organizer has instigated an investigation. If they find out I’m the one responsible, I’ll be…
Not daring to think about the potential consequences she may face, Jessie got up and went to the restroom.
When she came back, the distressed expression on her face was surprisingly gone. She was even humming a song happily.
Seeing as such, Hannah went up to her and queried, “You look rather exuberant today, Ms. Syke.”
Jessie gazed at her model and replied, “Really? I guess I’m just feeling happier than usual today.”
Jessie was behaving so joyfully because she had gotten news that her traces had been removed. She was assured that her DNA wouldn’t be found by the organizer.
The person who had assured her was the one who managed to escape that incident.
Moreover, Jessie was also told that another designer would be framed to take the blame instead.
Humph, I should’ve gotten Natalie out of the competition too.
A short while later, Natalie and Sally came back to the dressing room.
Sally looked pale and weak with a bandage wrapped around her head.
Curious, all the other designers and models quickly went up to them and bombarded them with questions.
Sally and Natalie gave them all a terse answer and sent them away.
“Ms. Smith.” Just as Natalie was about to assist Sally with her make-up, Jessie approached Natalie.
“Ms. Syke, how may I help you?” Natalie raised her eyebrows.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to see how Sally was holding up. You’re doing fine, right, Sally?” Jessie looked at Sally with a perturbed expression on her face.
Sally couldn’t tell if Jessie was seriously concerned about her or not.
She’s probably just putting on a show.
So, Sally responded apathetically, “Yes, I’m fine.”
“That’s great.” The woman seemed very happy for Sally.
Natalie picked up her makeup brush before uttering, “Ms. Syke, could you please leave us? I know you’re done with your model’s make-up, but I’m just getting started with mine. Perhaps you could abstain from being a nudnik to us for a while?”
“Oh, sorry. I’ll leave right away.” Jessie let out a shy-looking smile and left.
“Nat, I think she’s only feigning her concern for me. She must’ve come here to make fun of me,” Sally murmured.
Natalie opened her makeup case and replied, “Enough talking about her. She’s not worth our time anyway. Close your eyes. I’ll start applying the makeup now.”
“Okay.” Sally nodded and shut her eyes.
In a blink of an eye, Sally’s makeup was finished.
