Chapter 21
“That’s enough!” Shane was sick of her being unreasonable. He impatiently admonished her, “Since you are of little help here, you should leave now.”
“Shane, I…”
“Get out!”
Jasmine’s face fell. She had no choice but to leave the warehouse.
After that, he dismissed the rest, leaving only two designers as Natalie’s helper.
Without loss of time, Natalie instructed them to categorize those fabrics that they were familiar with while she would take care of the rest. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Forty minutes had passed when the two helpers had finally finished their task.
At that time, there were more than a hundred bolts of fabrics left scattering on the floor. Pondering for a while, Natalie put the project document aside and started pointing at the rest of the fabrics, directing her helpers in sorting them out. “This is silk mousseline, this one is rayon satin, that one over there is artificial cotton, that one is poplin…”
Standing silently in one corner, Shane noticed that she had sorted out a few dozens of the fabrics within fifteen minutes. From the reaction of the two helpers, who were intermittently exclaiming in awe while cross-referencing with the warehouse catalog, he could tell that she had not made a single mistake in identifying the fabrics. Looking at her in admiration, he started to set hopes on her. Maybe she is the chief designer of Project Rebirth that I am looking for.
“Huh…” Natalie seemed to have faced a problem at that moment.
Hearing that, Shane instantly directed his attention to her. “What’s wrong?”
She cast a glance at him. “I’m not sure of the origin of this fabric. Mr. Shane, do you have a lighter with you?”
Although he had no idea of what she was going to, he unhesitatingly took his lighter out of his pocket and handed it over to her.
“Thanks.”
After that, she asked one of the helpers to fetch her a glass of water. Then, she instructed them to lift the fabric while she lit its corner. When a scorch mark appeared, she immersed it in the water and then started sniffing it.
A few seconds later, a smile appeared on her face. She explained, “Since the fabrics are manufactured with different types of materials, the smell emitted after they are being burned will differ as well. If we are unsure of the types of fabrics, we can always distinguish them using this method.”
Shane was enlightened. Ah… So that’s why she asked for my lighter.
Spreading the fabric, Natalie continued with her explanation. “This is a new type of fabric. It is made up of interwoven fiber and leather material using 3D technology. Its pattern creates a real visual effect. If I’m not mistaken, the name is Aqua Ruri.”
The helpers flipped the catalog and soon found the fabric labeled as “Aqua Ruri.” From the picture in the catalog, it looked exactly like the ones Natalie was holding.
“Have you seen this fabric before?” asked Shane.
Natalie shook her head. “No. But I’ve heard of it from my mentor. I didn’t expect that you have it in your warehouse. Isn’t it beautiful?” She wrapped the velvety fabric on her body, spinning around in it.
At that moment, the glossy fabric and her stunning facial features made a perfect and harmonious combination. The fabric had accentuated her beauty so much so that she seemed to be glowing in the dimly lit warehouse.
The helpers were utterly dumbfounded.
Compared to the helpers, Shane had a better grip of his composure while amazement gleamed in his eyes.
Soon, he recollected himself and looked away before saying, “Yes, it’s indeed beautiful.”
“This type of fabric is the best material for making gowns,” Natalie commented while keeping the fabric, taking no notice of Shane’s abnormality.
Half an hour later, they had all of the fabrics sorted out. Soon after that, the contracting party arrived on time and collected the fabrics.
Natalie returned to the main office after accomplishing her mission. The designers crowded her the moment she appeared. “Nat, we’ve heard from George and Gary that you can distinguish the fabrics just by touching them. How did you do that?”
George and Gary were the very two helpers who helped her just now.
“Yeah! You’re awesome! Tell us how you did that.”
