Natalie started preparing lunch. The kitchen had already been cleaned up by the servants, and what happened here last night felt like a dream. Natalie couldn't help feeling a mix of laughter and tears, along with embarrassment.The laughter and tears came from the fact that the distinguished man who couldn't tell the difference between plain flour and cornstarch was learning to cook in the middle of the night, wanting to make a meal for her. And the reason behind this "whim" was probably due to Lucas' provocation.The embarrassment came from the fact that this solemn place experienced something extremely improper just a little over ten hours ago.Natalie pursed her lips and quickly made two Bocadillo de Tortilla sandwiches to serve as this slightly delayed lunch.Oliver didn't mind at all and enjoyed the sandwiches, occasionally stealing glances at Natalie."Let's eat! Stop looking at me," Natalie always felt like he was teasing her for her boldness last night.Oliver wasn't thinking
"Miss Watson, Mr. Windsor, please have a seat. Let's discuss the details," Emily Reed, the short-haired woman, gestured with a welcoming hand. Emily Reed, a top agent in the fashion industry a year ago, had represented many rich second generation of stars who wanted to enter the entertainment industry failed to become models under Emily's guidance. Why mention a year ago? Because in the past year, Emily inexplicably left the industry and vanished. At that time, there were rumors that she offended someone, while others said she married into a wealthy family. Speculations were abound. After Natalie thanked her, she sat down on the sofa. Oliver quickly looked around, crossing his legs and sitting beside Natalie with his back against the sofa and hands casually clasped in front of him. Whether it was his posture or gaze, it exuded a relaxed and noble air, like the boss inspecting his own company. The three employees from HHY Company couldn't help but glance at Oliver. Natalie discre
Emily walked over, extended her right hand, and smiled lightly, "Miss Watson, would you like to work with me?""Of course!" Natalie was overjoyed.Finding someone in the fashion industry who could understand and agree with her decision to put aside the competition for her younger brother was rare. Finding such an agent with aligned values was incredibly hard.The next hour was spent discussing the specifics of the contract.HHY's lawyer handed over two copies of the contract.Oliver quickly skimmed through it, going through the dozens of pages in less than a minute."Five points," he said, placing his fingertip on the contract cover, his tone as defiant as ever. "First, no involvement in scandalous stories; second, no shady dealings; third, apart from modeling-related work, she has absolute freedom; fourth, Natalie has the absolute right to choose her jobs; fifth, to be determined."Demanding this much was one thing, but still keeping the fifth point undecided? That was too much!HHY'
Some people sighed at Natalie's unexpected rise to fame, about to soar to the top; others joked that Emily must have bad taste, choosing a young model who had only walked on the runway twice instead of the many top-tier talents available.No matter what people said or thought, there was no denying that leaving the finals of "Top Avenue" had no adverse effects on Natalie.Once she entered HHY Fashion Company, the springboard that "Top Avenue" provided became useless!Lucas's physical condition stabilized.Natalie asked him, "Lucas, do you want to go back to school?"Lucas didn't want to. He felt a guilty conscience about studying and taking exams with ordinary high school students, a guilt he couldn't express.Lucas was about to shake his head and come up with an excuse when Oliver said, "Of course high school students should go to school."Oliver miraculously spoke more than usual, looking at the bald-headed Lucas and said, "If not school, then work."Lucas thought to himself, he coul
Natalie looks at Oliver. The man's thin lips move beneath the mask, "Hmm, my wife, Natalie.""Mrs. Windsor is even more beautiful in person than in the photos!"Other people see Oliver and come to interact with him one after another. It was practically an open secret in the circle how arrogant Oliver was and how fearful Windsor family and Harrington family people were at Adrian and Hailey's engagement banquet.With everyone trying to please Oliver, naturally there were many who wanted to gain his favor. After all, even if Oliver was a paper tiger, who wouldn't last long, Windsor family wouldn't find any faults with individual families.When Adrian and Hailey get off the car, they happen to see a group of people surrounded Oliver and Natalie was surrounded by a crowd of people, speaking in hushed voices. Even with a mask on, Oliver couldn't conceal his indifference and impatience. Natalie, on the other hand, maintained a constant smile, blending Oliver's intimidating presence with jus
"Adrian, even if Oliver is disfigured and has no real power in the family, how can he compare to you? Besides, we've known each other for so long, and our feelings for each other, can any other man match that? Don't overthink it!"Adrian's complexion slightly improved. He wasn't really in love with Hailey, but knowing Hailey genuinely liked him pleased him.In fact, Adrian had been growing more and more displeased with Hailey. But with Hailey as a free bed partner, good figure, pleasing skills, and attractive looks, he could reluctantly get by for the time being."And you should stop bothering Natalie. She's your sister, kind-hearted, and it wouldn't look good if others found out.""I...I haven't been causing her any trouble. Nothing happened.", Hailey's face looked unnatural."You know whether you did or not. Don't think others are fools and can't see through everything!" Adrian hinted that he had noticed things before but didn't mention them because of his lingering affections for H
Above is the blue sky and white clouds, below are the green waters and mountains. On the lawn, beautiful women singing and dancing, even attracting the attention of men who are gradually gathering to watch. However, Hailey's expression became increasingly unpleasant. She originally wanted to embarrass Natalie, but she didn't expect that the wretched woman would have such good luck, not drawing a single low card. During halftime, Hailey pulled the card dealer aside, took off her wristwatch, and handed it to him. "Later, give the lady in the third seat over there a few low cards. She wants to perform." The card dealer looked at Hailey suspiciously, then looked at the watch worth five figures in his hand. He nodded and agreed. Natalie thought she could just pass by as a background today, but unexpectedly, she drew an ace, just one point! Coincidentally, the other person being punished was Hailey! "Natalie, what a coincidence," Hailey said triumphantly. The men couldn't help but ch
Natalie was dressed in a white equestrian uniform with matching protective gear. Behind her stood a magnificent chestnut horse, exuding an extraordinary presence.Noah laughed, "Natalie, you can actually ride horses? I've never seen you enter a horse arena or take equestrian lessons before. Don't tell me you think you can ride horses just because you rode a donkey before returning to the Watson family?"Noah's mockery and insults were not concealed, and some people couldn't help but laugh."Noah!" Adrian scolded his sister publicly for the second time."Brother, did I say something wrong? Natalie, a bastard daughter, wasn't even qualified to enter the horse arena when Hailey was learning to ride. What else could she be doing besides fooling people with a horse?" Noah snorted.Oliver narrowed his eyes, twirling his wristwatch with his right hand, his expression darkening.The people around them...The gentleman immediately felt the pressure around him decrease, as if a dark cloud had l
