All of a sudden, Draco stopped and looked back at Natalie.
“Clean up the workroom.When you’re done with your work today, see me at my office.”
After Draco left, everyone turned around to look at Dalores.
Feeling all the eyes on her, Dalores thought she would melt in embarrassment.She hurriedly stood up and rushed out, covering her face, crying hysterically.
Seeing that things were over, Natalie let out a sigh.
Dalores had gone, but she had to go to Draco’s office to receive a lecture.
Natalie started quivering, feeling uncertainty.
“Come on, everybody,”
Natalie tried to sound calm.
“Let’s go back to our stations.Everything is fine here.”
She didn’t know what kind of punishment awaited her.
“Let me help you.”
It was Tasha.She came over so she could help Natalie pick up the mannequins on the floor.
Natalie looked at Tasha and smiled.
“Thank you.”
Natalie then saw Laney at the door.
“Kindly go back and have a seat.it’s not good to be standing long when one is pregnant.”
As any pregnant woman, Laney would have mood swings.
Believing that Natalie was bullied, she got angry and her eyes turned red.
“Didn’t I tell you not to stand up for me? Why didn’t you listen to me?”
Laney pulled Natalie aside, “Let’s go to Draco.I’ll tell him that it was Dalores who insulted me first.You just stood up for me.”
Natalie held Laney’s hand and said comfortingly, “Don’t worry.Everything will be fine.Mr.Wesley won’t make things difficult for me.”
Natalie felt she had to act this way to reassure Laney and Tasha.But in her heart, she didn’t know what would happen.lt was the first time that she had seen Draco being furious.She didn’t know what kind of punishment would be waiting for her.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, it was time to knock off work.
Natalie noticed that all her colleagues had already clocked out and left, so she stood up and headed straight for Draco’s office.
Draco was absorbed in his work and didn’t even notice when she had come into his office.
The sound of the charcoal pencils scratching against the paper rang relatively loudly in the dead quite room.
In all honesty, very few designers resorted to hand drawing designs in this technological era.
In fact, these days, designs drawn using computer programs were much more convenient to do and the resulting design was high resolution.
Draco, however, stuck to his old, traditional ways of design.
“Mr. Wesley…”
Natalie said nervously, indicating to Draco that she was actually present in his office already.
“Sorry, just ten more minutes.”
Draco’s voice was very low and even, giving people the impression that he had an air of indifference.
This was obviously different from his sullen mood in the workroom previously.
Natalie nodded.She was also curious about the design he had before him.She hadn’t seen the draft drawn by Draco yet, so she quietly walked up to him.
Just when she was about to sneak a peek at it, she was met by a frigid look cast by him.
“My apologies, Mr.Wesley.”
She quickly apologized, feeling as if she were at a complete loss.She actually momentarily forgot that she was in his office to be reprimanded.She quickly took a step back and stood up in a professional, proper way.
Draco stopped drawing and smiled slightly; “Come closer if you want to see the work.Can you even see it from where you’re standing so far away?”
She really did want to see it, and now he had actually given her consent to have a look.She smiled appreciatively and walked forward bravely.
“Are you going to take part in a design competition or something?”
Natalie looked at the design draft carefully.lt was such a fantastic design.
It would definitely nab first prize if it were entered in the competition.
What was confusing, however, was why Draco would have to work so hard to enter such a competition when he was already so famous.
In Natalie’s mind, there was no competition worthy of Draco’s participation.
Draco explained, “I prepared this for Iridescent Show, which is held every five years.”
Iridescent Show was the biggest fashion show in the country which was highly renowned and anticipated.
Every time it was held, it would attracted tens of thousands of people.
Natalie said excitedly.
“Your design will undoubtedly be a show stopper.”
Shaking his head, Draco turned to look at Natalie and said, “Not only me, but also you.You can go to show with me.”
“No, no, I am not eligible.”
Natalie was surprised and ventured a careful question, “But Mr.Wesley, I was under the impression that I had come here to be reprimanded…Is that not the case?”
With a gentle smile on his face, Draco said, “The matter between you and Dalores is over.She will leave the studio soon.Don’t mention it again.Now go back and prepare for the show.”
Natalie nodded in confusion.
What she had expected and what had actually transpired were like chalk and cheese.
When he saw the confused look on her face, Draco reminded her, “Keep an eye on Dalores.Nothing can go wrong especially at the end of the projects.That’s all I have to say.You can leave now.”
Natalie nodded and left, still thoroughly confused by the turn of events.
After leaving the office, she felt much lighter.
