“Roommate?” Natalie lowered her gaze in thought before realization finally dawned on her, her eyes lighting up.
“You're Hannah!”
Hannah crossed her arms arrogantly and stuck her chin out. “Uh-huh.”
A smile crept across Natalie's face, but the smile never reached her eyes. Sizing Hannah up, she nodded and
replied in a courteous manner, “Yup. It came to my mind after you reminded me about us being roommates. You've
changed a lot.”
So you were my roommate when I was a freshman at J University. She majored in art as well, but we weren't close
to each other. Hannah's family was not well-off, so she was rather gloomy and had low self-esteem. Therefore, she
did not mix well with other coursemates, especially me. For some inexplicable reason, she hated my guts. That was
why I was rather shocked to see her greet me just now.

Knowing that she was showing off to her, Natalie's lips twitched in response. “Oh, I see. You have a great body. It
definitely suits you. Congratulations.”
“Thanks.” Hannah casually touched the designer bag on her shoulder. “What about you? What are you doing now?
Are you still working as a costume designer?”
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded.
Hannah stifled a scornful smile. “Seems like you're not doing that well.”
“Oh?” Natalie raised an eyebrow. “How so?”
“You're not popular at all. I've never heard of you in the fashion industry.” Hannah walked around her, sizing her up
condescendingly. “How does the once gifted fashion design student of J University become a lowly designer now?
Perhaps you should beg me until I'm satisfied, and maybe then I'll help you to find a renowned designer to guide
you.”
She fixed her eyes on Natalie as she waited for her to answer.
I could finally trample on the dignity of the girl whom I've been jealous of since years ago.
Knowing that Hannah was looking for trouble, Natalie's gaze turned cold.
When she was about to retort, Joyce suddenly came out of the room and stormed toward them. Shielding Natalie
from Hannah, she sneered, “You're ridiculous. How dare a small-time model utter such brazen words!”
“A small-time model?” Hannah huffed, eyes widened in disbelief. “How could you say that?”
“Am I not right?” Joyce shot her a disdainful look and said, “Did you seriously think that you're a supermodel after
shooting for a few print magazines? Get off your high horse. I bet you only know a few designers in our circle.”
Before Hannah could say anything, she rolled her eyes and continued, “Oh, I forgot. Small-time models like you are
probably acquainted with small-time designers only, so I advise you to keep them to yourself. Don't make a fool of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyourself by introducing those designers to other people.”
“Y-you...” Hannah pointed at her as she started to shake out of rage.
Joyce slapped her hand away and snapped, “Have you not learned how to speak? Talk to me once you've learned
how to converse.”
Seeing Hannah was rendered speechless, Natalie could not help but burst out laughing.
Her snicker infuriated Hannah even more. With her fists clenched tight, she yelled, “What are you laughing at?”
Joyce let out a scoff and placed her hands on her hips. “Who do you think you are? Can't others laugh at you?”
Knowing that she had nothing to say in retaliation, Hannah's face flushed immediately as a wave of anger,
embarrassment, and defeat washed over her.
In the end, she glared at Natalie and Joyce and snorted before turning to leave.
However, before she walked far, she glanced over her shoulder and said, “Both of you are going to regret this. Just
you wait and see!”
“Hmph, as if we're going to let her off!” Joyce tsked loudly before turning around to face Natalie. “Did she get
physical with you?”
Natalie shook her head. “I'm fine.”
