Chapter 1157
Natalie was left waiting for her takeout after her call with Skylar, feeling a bit bored. These past few days had been too indulgent for her liking. She decided she would look for a job
tomorrow.
She had originally considered starting her own business, but her current state of mind wasn’t conducive to entrepreneurship.
She would find a new job first and then consider opening a café later. While she was lost in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang. She hurried over to open the door. “Just a second.”
Her stomach almost growled from hunger. The delivery was taking a bit longer today, likely
due to the dinner rush.
Finally, she opened the door, only to freeze in disbelief at the person standing before her. “Mr. Powell?”
She wondered what Austin was doing here all of a sudden. She glanced to the side but didn’t see Hank. So, Austin had come by himself.
He stared at Natalie with deep, dark eyes, saying nothing. It was rare for him to appear so serious. He seemed angry.
“Um… Mr. Powell, I know I left abruptly, but there were reasons. I wasn’t feeling well, and I told Hank I didn’t need my paycheck for this month. So… please don’t be upset.” She forced a sincere smile, trying to convey her apologies.
Ever since she met Jessica, she felt something was off when she saw Austin. Austin regarded the carefree Natalie with a mix of emotions. He had been waiting for her to reach out.
But instead, she had disappeared without a trace. She had even blocked him and Hank on WhatsApp. It seemed she didn’t want any connection with him at all.
Austin wondered if she had really not noticed his feelings after all this time.
“Mr. Powell? You… Can you say something? I’m starting to feel anxious.” Seeing Austin staring at her without saying a word, Natalie suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She realized that quitting her job so abruptly might have been too sudden, but Austin looked extremely angry.
Suddenly, Austin stepped forward with purpose.
He pressed Natalie against the wall and kicked the door shut behind him.
Natalie’s mind went blank. “Mr. Powell, you—”
Without warning, he kissed her. Natalie completely froze, her body stiffening in shock.

At that moment, a knock echoed from outside the door. After a few seconds, the knocking continued.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
