“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.
