Although reluctant, she walked up to Estella and admitted, “Well… something happened to your dre—”
But before she could finish her words, a louder voice came from behind, interrupting her. “Miss Lopez, I think there’s something wrong with your dress for the award ceremony. I’d like to make you a new one.”
Natalie closed the door behind her, took out her new sketch, and handed it to Estella.
It took a lot of time and effort to customize the previous dress. Estella, too, contributed a lot to the overall design. So, when she heard the said dress would have to be scrapped, she was infuriated.
“Are you kidding me?! It took me a long time to design the dress with Dalores. And now, the award ceremony is around the corner. Why would you say that now?” Estella’s words were straight to the point.
While Natalie was trying to formulate her words, Estella suddenly shouted, “Wait a minute. You look familiar!”
She brought her hand to her chin and wondered where she had seen the girl in front of her. A few moments later, she took out her phone, clicked on a picture, and compared the image with Natalie.
“Oh my gosh! It’s you! You’re Natalie!” she exclaimed with eyes wide in shock.
Estella had been reading a lot of gossips involving Natalie and Draco. She had planned on writing an article about the fashion circle, and Draco happened to be one of her favorite designers. A few days ago, rumors about him broke out, which piqued Estella’s curiosity and amused her.
“Yes. That’s my name,” Natalie replied with a frown. “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it!” Estella exclaimed. Her attitude toward Natalie suddenly changed. She held Natalie’s hands and repeatedly blinked her eyes in excitement. “Is it true that you have an affair with Draco? What about Brandon?”
She had been following the hottest gossip in the past few days. Unfortunately for her, many related articles had been removed from the Internet. But since she happened to meet the person involved in
the gossip, she might as well ask her in person.
Meanwhile, Natalie’s face darkened. She did not like that Estella was sticking her nose in a stranger’s business.
But since she had information that Estella was dying to know, she could tell her about it for the sake of the dress. “Do you want to talk about it in detail?” Natalie asked with a mysterious smile. “Let’s go to the VIP room. There are too many people here. It’s not the best place to talk.”
Estella did not waste any second and immediately took her bag. “Where’s the VIP room?”
Tasha had no idea what Natalie was going to do. Before leading Estella into the VIP room, Natalie looked back at Tasha and winked meaningfully.
The latter was perplexed. Fortunately, Natalie was the kind of person who always knew what she was doing. Believe it or not, she always managed to turn things into a favorable outcome.
An hour later, the door of the VIP room finally opened. “Okay. I’ll give you some time, but you have to hurry up. Natalie, don’t let me down with the two new dresses you’re going to design for me. You know, I have a lot of followers on social media,” Estella reminded Natalie while walking out of the room.
Natalie smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. “Don’t worry. I’ll even send the dresses to you myself when they’re done.”
When Estella was gone, Tasha pulled Natalie aside and curiously asked, “Tell me everything. How did you do it? Natalie, you’re amazing!”
Natalie massaged her throbbing temples, leaned back on the sofa and sighed. “I’m not awesome. I’m only giving her what she wants.”
An hour ago, in the VIP room.
Estella sat on the sofa and asked directly, “I’m so curious. What’s really going on between you, Draco and Brandon? There are a lot of rumors claiming your marriage with Brandon is askew, and you fell for Draco because you were lonely and unfulfilled.”
What nonsense! Natalie couldn’t even think of what to say. Considering she had to please Estella, however, she calmly replied with a smile, “Those are all fake rumors. My relationship with my husband is great. That photo of Mr. Wesley and I was taken out of context, causing the misunderstanding.”
Estella pouted. “Okay, I understand. That’s disappointing. I guess we have nothing to discuss as there is nothing to gossip about. Let’s head out and talk about the dress.” She got up and began walking away.
Natalie hurriedly stopped Estella. “What about stories of me and Brandon? I can share those with you.” Natalie quietly whispered an apology to Brandon in her heart, “I’m sorry, honey.”
Estella pondered on it for a while. Brandon was the Larson Group’s CEO. She had always wanted to write a novel based on a real boss’s life. Brandon was truly a big boss. Estella was of course, eager to hear about
Brandon’s affairs now that Natalie was willing to share with her.
“Alright, go ahead.” Pulling out a small notebook, Estella began taking notes.
Natalie then started sharing her love story with Brandon. “It’s all so engaging. Tell me more.” Estella was completely focused on the story and even went ahead to take out a recorder pen.
Natalie yanked the pen from her hand and said, “You can’t, no.”
“I’m worried I might forget some things when I head back. Allow me to record such a wonderful story. It’ll be material for my new novel. It would turn out so popular.” Estella reached for her recorder pen
“I will allow you to use some of my experiences as references in your novel, however, there’s one condition.”
Eliana was displeased. “Are you negotiating with me?”
“You can forget about it if you don’t agree.” Natalie got up immediately.
