Chapter 507
Wilder, Derek’s manager, drew a sigh.
He couldn’t recall where he had heard Natalie’s name before, but he knew it sounded familiar.
Wilder had been abroad with Derek to attend fashion shows all over the world. Between the two of them, they knew little about the domestic affairs.
“I don’t think Natalie is just any other woman,” Wilder whispered to Derek. “Even Mr. Jenkins has changed his perception of her. It looks like this woman isn’t as simple as she appears.”
Wilder initially thought that Natalie was just another assistant designer. . Apart from her striking appearance, he didn’t think there was anything special about her. At best, she was Draco’s favorite.
But now that Axel had such high regard for Natalie, he felt there was something strange about her.
What made matters worse was that Derek also appeared to have been smitten with this woman.
“Why are you being nosy today, Wilder?” Derek said, looking irritated at his agent,
Wilder was taken aback by Derek’s reaction. He took a deep breath and told him gently, “I’ll look into this woman’s background. Before we know more about her, don’t mess with her.”
Wilder knew that Derek was a playboy. But he could sense that Natalie wasn’t the kind of woman who would want to trade her beauty for a successful career. It was highly likely that she was not even a woman Derek should be involved with, for it would just lead to something disastrous.
Derek scowled at his manager. “Don’t spoil my good mood right now. I’ve finally met a gorgeous woman I like, and she’s a rising star in the design industry. Look, I’m drawn to her and I want to pursue her. I don’t want to know her based on information from your inquiries. Could you please leave me with some mystery?”
Wilder didn’t know what to say. “But…”
“Stop it, Wilder!” Derek said in a stern tone. “Why don’t you just bring me another glassof wine?” Wilder felt compelled to do as he was told since he had no other choices.
The party was upbeat and congenial.
After changing into a new dress, Kathie left the restroom. She was ready to start mingling again when she noticed Natalie talking to Zuri and Axel. Though Kathie couldn’t tell what they were saying, she could see they were smiling broadly.
Around them were other influential people, seemingly enjoying their chat with Natalie. The woman appeared to be the star of the show tonight as she stood in the middle of them. She was dazzling, and yet, quite irritating.
Out of pure envy, Kathie gripped the wine glasstightly. So tightly that the glassshattered and she cut her hand. Kathie didn’t care at all. Jealousy was gnawing her. She gently picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the blood between her fingers.
Natalie beat the Gem Studio and attended the Iridescent Show. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the center of attraction in today’s celebration.
Kathie turned around with a sneer. She must teach Natalie a lesson tonight.
The party was already halfway over, but the lively atmosphere did not dim.
Axel raised his glassand sipped the last of his vodka. “It’s late, and I usually fall asleep around this time. I can’t keep going any longer. You’re all younger and more energetic than me, so you can continue having fun for the rest of the night.”
“Good night, Mr. Jenkins.” Everyone nodded.
