Chapter 749
The man on the other end of the line did not expect her response to be so cordial but distant. A wave of disappointment washed over him. “Yes, it is,” he answered.
It had only been a few months, but Natalie no longer recognized his voice.
As things turned out, the man on the phone was none other than Clyde Lambert himself, one of Natalie’s former pursuers.
“It’s nice to meet you. My name is Natalie.”
The change in Clyde’s tone escaped her, and she continued to speak in a polite and professional manner. “If you take a look at the photos you posted today, the old lady is wearing one of my designs.”
Clyde let out a small sigh. “Yes, I know. What can I do for you?”
On the other side, Natalie straightened her back, turning stiff with nervousness. “Here’s the thing. I’m going to start my studio’s official account on the major social media platforms soon. I’ve seen your work, and I think your photos are amazing. I’d like to enlist your help in publicizing our studio.”
A wide smile broke out on Clyde’s lips.
After a long wait, finally, an opportunity had presented itself.
“It would be my privilege,” he readily agreed. “But I think it would be better for us to discuss this in person.”
With his positive response to Natalie’s proposition, she gladly agreed to meet him.
The call ended with Natalie all smiles. She thought she had secured a promising chance.
She had been anxious about the call, thinking that someone of Clyde’s talent wouldn’t be so easily convinced. Truth be told, his quick approval surprised her. Natalie had psyched herself to negotiate with his terms, but it had turned out to be an unnecessary worry.
However, her rejoicing was cut short by Elizabeth coming over and patting her on the shoulder.
“A lady is here for you. I had seen her here before, so I let her in.”
Natalie turned to the direction Elizabeth was pointing to, her eyebrows arching up.
She already anticipated that Vera would come to her one of these days, but she didn’t think it would be so soon.
Natalie was well aware she couldn’t keep the fact that she helped Laney escape hidden forever. If the Harding family investigated, they would find out that she had been involved.
At this time, Vera’s eyes met hers.
Raising her chin, the woman walked calmly towards Natalie, her gait every bit as graceful and refined as her status.
Natalie didn’t feel the least bit intimidated. She was ready to face the Hardings.
Vera came to a halt a step from her.
Her face was unchanging and impassive, betraying none of her intentions.
