Chapter 514
Kathie was shocked too. It had never occurred to her that Natalie might be the daughter of the White family, let alone the wife of Brandon!
Brandon Larson was a legend!
Kathie’s instinct had been to dismiss Natalie as just another poor designer; neither from a noble family, nor worthy of a noble man. As such, she hadn’t thought to have Natalie investigated.
“Never mind,” said Kathie. “It’s all over now. Natalie won’t ever know it was us. I guess she entered the fashion world just for fun. She’s the daughter of a rich family and the wife of a rich man, so I doubt she’ll be looking into it too much or even suspecting a setup.” Kathie reasoned away her fear.
Thanks to Kathie’s explanation, the female model was no longer panicking. They continued to watch the art exhibition. All of a sudden, a man walked purposefully towards them, followed by a dozen b*odyguards.
“Excuse me, ma’am,” the man said. “You are no longer welcome at this exhibition. Please leave.” The man then instructed the nearest b*odyguard to escort Kathie and the female model out of the building.
Kathie immediately took offense. Her face flushed a violent crimson and she began arguing with the man. “What are you doing?!” she screeched. “We have tickets!” “Miss Jimenez,” the man replied calmly, “you and your friend have been blacklisted. The two of you are not allowed to attend any more shows or exhibitions.”
Kathie’s eyes widened in shock.
She glanced at the female model standing next to her, and they both asked the same question at the same time. “Why? We didn’t do anything!”
The man in charge smiled patiently. “You know what you did,” he said. “We’ve just received an order to have you escorted out. Oh, and a final piece of advice: do not think that bad deeds go unpunished. The mills of God grind slowly, but surely.”
At that, the b*odyguards ruthlessly ushered Kathie and the female model out of the venue.
Being chased out of the exhibition left Kathie feeling humiliated. She had almost been pushed to the ground. Looking back at the door closing behind her, Kathie caught sight of Natalie waving goodbye from inside. A flash of anger compelled Kathie to rush back in, but the door closed too quickly.
“sh*t!” she spat. “It’s Natalie.” Kathie banged on the door, releasing some of her shock and anger. “It appears as though Brandon was already aware of the situation,” she said finally.
The short-haired female model stood next to her, gnashing her teeth angrily. “What are we supposed to do now?” she cried. “We’ve both been blacklisted!”
The door closed, and Natalie looked away. She felt much better.
“These people only dare to provoke you because you’ve always kept a low-profile,” said Brandon. He looked at her calmly.
Natalie continued to appreciate the paintings. “I am here for work, and I have to keep a low profile,” she replied. “If I brag about being Mrs. Larson or Miss White all the time, the public won’t value me or my work probably.”
“I don’t know what to do with you,” said Brandon, rattled. “Fortunately, your father and mother are still travelling abroad,” he added. “They’d be furious if they knew you were in danger.” Brandon felt helpless.
After some careful consideration, however, he cheered up. Girls like Natalie were ambitious, and Brandon liked that a lot. It was something he and Natalie had in common. After the art exhibition they packed their luggage, intending to leave Northcliffe. Brandon couldn’t delay; he still had work to do in Barnes.
Before they boarded the plane, Natalie heard someone calling her name.
Zuri ran over, panting slightly. “You two left in such a hurry,” she said. “I really thought I wouldn’t be able to catch you in time.”
She handed Natalie a large bag of delicately packaged gifts, saying, “Here’s a little something for you. They’re confections and some interesting handmade trinkets from one of the handicrafts exhibition. “I
