The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 59

“Mr. Harding, here is the evening dress.”

Cassie’s eyes lit up. The dress and the jewelry looked expensive.

“Thank you.” She pretended to remain calm and walked toward the man carrying the dress. Just as she reached out to take the dress, the staff unexpectedly walked past her.

“Miss, could you please get out of our way?” Cassie’s eyes widened as she involuntarily stepped back.

The staff smiled and handed the evening dress to Natalie.

Cassie’s face flushed with embarrassment.

‘What the hell is going on? I thought it was for me. Why are they giving it to Natalie? Natalie has ruined my dress, but they get a new one for her? This is just ridiculous!’

“Thank you, but please take it back. This dress is too expensive. I’ll just go home and get changed,” Natalie said, nervously looking at the dress. It looked beautiful, but she couldn’t accept it because it was too expensive.

“Mr. Larson has asked us to take care of you and make sure nothing bad happens to you at the dinner party. You can’t wear your dress now. We had prepared some extra dresses in case of emergencies, and this is one of them. You can borrow it tonight. After all, it’s a matter of our company’s reputation.” Garrett smiled calmly even though his heart was racing in his chest.

He knew that Sebastian would punish him if Natalie didn’t take the dress.

After a moment’s hesitation, Natalie finally took the dress.

“Miss, this way, please.”

Natalie nodded and went to the dressing room with the staff.

“Miss, let me help you with your makeup. You are a natural beauty, and makeup will accentuate your features.” The make-up artist picked up the eye shadow palette and carefully examined Natalie’s face.

“I have already worn mild makeup.” Natalie frowned and covered her face.

Despite being a designer, she didn’t like dressing up. She seldom wore makeup and had never tried any heavy, dramatic look.

“What do you mean by you’re wearing makeup? You have just worn a little foundation. I promise you will look gorgeous. You won’t know unless you try. I have worked with many celebrities in the past. I’m sure you will dazzle tonight.” The make-up artist smiled and waved the brush in her hand, as if it were a magical wand.

Soon, the makeup artist finished her work, and the assistants helped Natalie with the dress.

After checking that everything was in place, they finally led her out.

The noisy banquet hall dropped silent.

All eyes were on Natalie.

The sudden attention made her uncomfortable. She squirmed on the spot and didn’t know where to put her hands.

‘Gosh, why are they staring at me? Do I look ugly?’

Her stomach flipped with anxiety. Just then, Natalie let out a startled gasp as her gaze fell on the glass door.

She was amazed to see her reflection.

The woman on the glass looked nothing like her but seemed like a regal princess.

Her face looked flawless, and the makeup seemed to accentuate her features. Her bright red lips lit up her entire face.

The black velvet strapless dress revealed her milky skin. The dazzling neckpiece made her look like royalty.

Natalie was the most beautiful woman at the party tonight. It looked like the makeup artist had brought out Natalie’s inner beauty that she had been hiding all this while.

The way a person carried themselves was an important factor in earning people’s respect.

Natalie walked past the people watching her with rapt attention, gently lifting her dress. From the corner of her eyes, she could feel the people’s burning gazes.
