The gated community was pretty strict about who got in and only allowed guests with an invitation. The Dawson family had sent out invites to the big shots of the business world, capping the list at thirty.
It was morning, and Nathan was buzzing with even more excitement than the birthday boy. Nathan showed up bright and early at Nathalie's building. Sporting a well-fitted grass-green shirt and a light grey suit, he’d slicked back his boyish bangs, showing off a face that could rival an ancient Greek statue. He was flawlessly perfect. This grown-up look made Nathan, who was already a bit of a cool character, seem even more distant and hard to approach.
Nathalie came down the stairs, and she caught sight of Nathan casually leaning against his luxury car. For a moment, she was lost in thought.
This version of Nathan was a striking reminder of him from her past life—the business tycoon who commanded respect and fear from the top of the pyramid. The resemblance was uncanny.
Nathalie sighed; Nathan was growing up way too fast.
Nathan looked up and spotted Nathalie coming his way. "Nathalie, you look absolutely stunning today," he said, never shy about showering Nathalie with compliments.
Nathalie glanced at her own glamorous dress—a high V-neck silk gown with a white base embroidered with peculiar green flowers, which gave her an ethereal, otherworldly vibe.
But something else struck her. "Nathan, our outfits look like they match, don’t they? Are they matching couple’s outfits?"
Nathan replied, "Of course. You’re my date for the night. If I didn’t make sure we coordinated, some guy would try to whisk you away."
Nathalie reassured him with a smile. "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you alone."
In her past life, Cameron often left her behind, leaving her to face pity or ridicule alone. She didn’t want Nathan to go through that.
Nathan gently took her hand. "Nathalie, you said it. Don’t let go of my hand today."
Nathalie nodded playfully.
"Then, my princess, shall we?" Nathan opened the car door with a playful flair, inviting Nathalie in.
