In all industries, racial discrimination had always been a major issue in the international arena.
Back when she used the identity of Mina to debut in the design industry, she was often picked on by designers of other nationalities. After all, they looked down on designers from her region and felt that they were ignorant about fashion. Otherwise, Alfred wouldn’t be the only top-notch designer from the region.
There were also few models from the region, and that contributed to the oppression from foreign designers.
She had initially thought that she would be confronted with some oppression during the competition and had braced herself to retaliate.
She never thought that her mentor’s name would nip all crises in the bud.
Amused, she returned to the villa and planned to make a call back home.
Hmm… It’s almost eight o’clock in the morning back home, so Shane is probably awake, yes? At that thought, she gave Shane a call.
It seemed that the man had been waiting for her call, for he answered the moment the call went through. “Hello.”
“You’re awake, Shane?” Natalie asked, sitting on the sofa.
