Chapter 138 Samuel Could Not Possibly Be Here
Natalie had no idea that there was a person watching her from afar.
All she knew at that moment was that she felt great.
She took another glass of wine from the waiter.
Raising her wine glass, she turned toward Ross, who stood a distance away from her in the middle of the crowd.
Their eyes met across the crowded room.
Ross’ lips curled upwards. His eyes were full of gratitude and respect toward Natalie.
They exchanged a smile before Ross downed his red wine in one go.
Natalie followed suit and finished the wine in her glass.
This was her promise to Ross when she first joined Dream Company. At this banquet on this day, she finally lived up to the promise she made to him back then.
Max was not in the mood to join the birthday celebration anymore after Belle’s incident, so he retired early to rest in his bedroom.
Natalie, meanwhile, fell back into her habit of drinking again.
She was a little dizzy after drinking too much.
“Mr. Watsons… I’m heading to the restroom.” Natalie rubbed the temples of her head.
“Okay.”
The moment she pushed open the restroom door, Natalie saw Melissa fixing her makeup.
Her stare moved briefly over Melissa.
They hadn’t seen each other for five years, and Natalie still did not find Melissa pretty.
She and Yara looked beautiful because they had inherited their mother, Jennie’s beauty.
Yvonne was considered a rather good-looking woman. However, Melissa had inherited Thomas’ looks. As a result, her facial features were anything but exquisite.
Natalie turned on the tap as Melissa approached her with a buttered-up smile on her face.
“Ms. Nichols, what a coincidence! Both of our last names are Nichols.”
Natalie pursed her lips and replied, “Are you going to say that my name is the same as someone you know next?”
