Chapter 523
Seeing Natalie’s face reddening into a blush, Tasha assumed that something bad must have happened.
She asked her nervously, “Did Brandon not believe you? Didn’t he listen to your explanation?”
It was just a little in-joke shared between a husband and wife, and Natalie wasn’t quite sure how to explain it to her friend. Instead, she just shook her head and replied, “No, he trusts me. Don’t worry about it. He’s already begun handling the rumors.”
Tasha patted herself on the chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She also didn’t want Natalie to let her guard completely down yet, however. “But when I went to get some coffee just now, I saw some reporters waiting outside. So don’t go out there yet while they’re still there.” Natalie nodded. But then it suddenly occurred to her that Draco might be in at any moment to come to work.
“Oh! What if the paparazzi confront Mr. Wesley out there? He’s not very eloquent at the best of times, and in his current state, if they annoy him, he might really have to go back to hospital again!” Natalie was so worried about this that she immediately called Draco.
“Natalie, are you okay?” Draco asked before she could get a word out.
Natalie was stunned by how anxious Draco sounded. She took a moment before replying, “I’m fine, Mr. Wesley. But you probably shouldn’t come into the studio for now. There are paparazzi swarming outside the studio now.” “Don’t worry. I’ll stay home today and avoid that mess.
Natalie, I’m pretty sure someone is behind this news suddenly going viral,” Draco said, his voice tinged with absolute certainly. He heaved a long, heavy sigh.
Even though she couldn’t see him through the phone, Natalie could picture the frown on his face. She knew it well.
Draco said apologetically, “I was too careless. If you didn’t give me a ride home, this kerfuffle never would have happened. I’ll speak to the reporters and tell them the truth. If this rumor keeps spreading, it could have a negative impact on your marriage.”
Natalie replied, “I’ve explained it all to Brandon. You should go have a rest. These baseless rumors will be squashed in no time.”
“Is Brandon taking care of the problem already?” Draco was a bit surprised. But, thinking on it, it made sense. Brandon was known for his decisiveness as well as for taking action when necessary. So of course he’d made sure to take care of this as swiftly as possible.
Draco said soberly, “Natalie, I have a feeling that the studio will be very chaotic for at least the next few days.” Natalie lowered her head, sorry how this attack on her had affected the W Marks Studio. “Mr. Wesley…”
Draco gently laughed. “I mean myself. I still haven’t fully recovered, so I won’t be able to be at peak performance. Can you help me take care of W Marks for the time being?”
Surprised, Natalie instinctively shook her head. “Mr. Wesley, that’s too much for me! W Marks Studio is so important…”
She’d only been a designer for a few years. How could she of all people take on Draco’s role of running W Marks?
It was the top design studio in the entire industry!
