The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Looking at the white, high-end building and the gorgeous furnishings outside, Hannah said, “It s so beautiful here!”

“There are only two floors inside, and it’s just a modest studio, but Mr. Wesley wanted it to look great for prospective customers and hired craftsmen to decorate it a few months ago.”

Compared with the high-profile and luxurious decoration at the Larson Group’s building, the studio was rather simple in design.

“If it’s just been decorated, perhaps I shouldn’t go in.” The most high-end places Hannah had frequented were the villas of her employers when she worked as maid before. The stylish building intimidated her. She feared she might spoil it if she stepped inside.

Although, she knew Natalie was a designer, she hadn’t known she was working at such an exclusive studio.

Even her own son had never taken her to any upscale places before.

Natalie’s eyes softened. “I work here. You can go in whenever you want.”

Hannah’s palms were sweating. “No, I can’t. I am a simple woman. I will make a fool of myself if I go in.”

Hannah avoided eye contact with everyone around. She was sure that people were looking at her strangely, and she became more flustered “Let’s go back. We can do this in your villa.”

Natalie felt distressed. She was about to say something when they were interrupted by a familiar voice.

“Good morning, Natalie.’ Elizabeth walked toward them with a cup of coffee in her hand.

“Is this your family? Why not make your way inside? The gusty winds and chilly weather make this spot far from pleasant,” Elizabeth enquired with an air of curiosity.

Natalie smiled as she introduced Hannah to Elizabeth. “This is Hannah, my first customer.” She then leaned close to Hannah and whispered, “My colleagues would be delighted if you’d join us inside. Please just go inside with me, alright?”

“Allow me to assist you inside, Hannah.” Elizabeths expression was devoid of any judgment or hesitation. With only kindness in her heart, Elizabeth helped Hannah make her way inside.

“I have the pleasure of working alongside Natalie, and she has taught me and imparted a wealth of knowledge to me. Our entire team is ecstatic about Natalie’s venture into independent designing, and you, Hannah, have arrived at an opportune moment. Everyone is anticipating getting to know you as Natalie’s first client,” Elizabeth explained as she handed Hannah a warm cup of tea, noticing her slight unease.

“Thank you, young lady,” Hannah murmured gratefully as she took a few hesitant sips of the tea. Despite her nerves, she sensed the genuine warmth from the young lady standing before her.

“Elizabeth, just so you know, she’s not fond of excessive talking,” Natalie interjected, retrieving her measuring tape once more. Recalling that her previously prepared documents had been inadvertently taken by that man she mistook for Mr. L, she resolved to sketch a new design. “Let me take your measurements first.”

Hannah rose from her seat tentatively and admitted, “It’s been many years since I last had new clothes. The last time was when I got married.”

Natalie measured Hannah’s sizes with a smile and quipped, “It’s been quite some time. But I know your sizes. Let’s see if you’ve been keeping up with your healthy eating in the countryside.”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Natalie’s face faltered. She calculated Hannah’s size and realized that she had become noticeably thinner.

“Stop!” Natalie rushed to where Hannah was and pushed the security guards away. With furrowed eyebrows, she asked, “Who ordered you to escort my client out?”

A woman turned to look at Natalie. She was laughing a second ago but stopped and was now sizing Natalie up “It was me. Do you have a problem with that?”

From the side, the woman looked like Natalie. Especially since she also had long curly hair. However, when facing forward, her arrogant and domineering aura came into full view. Her face was extremely pretty. She had beautiful eyes and a delicate nose. The small mole on her tall nose made her even more attractive. Her gaze swept across the room with her chin tilted up. She looked really arrogant.

Not knowing who the woman in front of her was, Natalie frowned and asked, “Who are you? Why did you drive my client away?”

“I’m the designer here.” Crossing her arms over her chest, the woman confidently said, “W Marks doesn’t welcome poor people. Moreover, this old woman here tried to steal the desserts I brought here.”

“This is Mandy Hamilton. She has just come back from abroad after working with many brands in Paris.” Elizabeth walked over and reminded Natalie. “She’s collaborating with Mr. Wesley on a project so she’s been coming to W Marks often these days. Since you just requested an annual leave a few days ago, you haven’t gotten the chance to meet her.”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Hamilton. I’m also a designer here. This is my client, not your so-called poor people.” Natalie gave Mandy a nod despite her blank expression.

With an impassive look on her face, Natalie looked aloof and unapproachable. Mandy was a charming woman with attractive foxy eyes. They looked completely different.

“I’ve heard about you from Draco. You are a talented designer.” Mandy’s arrogance was no match for Natalie’s indifference. Her contempt was visible in her eyes now. “But your distinguished guest stole the desserts I bought What should we do about it?” She repeated, voice slightly rising.
