Chapter 257
Natalie turned around and realized that it was her best friend, Cecilia.

It was the first time that Natalie met Cecilia since they parted ways in the Todd residence.
“Natalie, is your right arm okay?”
“It‘s only a minor injury.” Natalie smiled and said, “I can handle it on my own.”

“Sure. I always know Dr. Nichols is the top female doctor in the universe.” Cecilia said, “When I wanted to visit you, I was told Samuel had picked you up. I didn‘t contact you right away, for I wasn‘t sure who he was to you.”
At that moment, Cecilia paused for a while and asked, “Well, what kind of relationship are you and Samuel in?”
“We‘re more than friends but not yet lovers.” Natalie took a sip of her glass of wine and continued in a deep voice, “It‘s not his problem but mine. Since I‘m still carrying a lot of burdens in my heart, I can hardly accept him without sorting them out.”
Cecilia understood the pain that was buried in Natalie‘s heart.
If Cecilia and Natalie were to exchange their lives, Cecelia thought she probably couldn‘t stay alive like Natalie.
“What about you? Why are you at Susan‘s birthday party?”
“I designed the clothes for Ms. Leister. Since the Leister family invited me, I have to attend the party.”
“Is that so?” Natalie scanned Cecilia from head to toe and said, “You design more than twenty sets of clothes every year. Besides, I rarely saw you attend parties before. I wonder if Andrew attends the part tonight.”
Initially, Cecilia was stubborn and refused to admit to it. After a while, she couldn‘t hold it and smiled bitterly.
“Natalie, I really can‘t hide any secrets from you.”
“Andrew is here with Rosalie tonight.” Cecilia said bitterly, “I know I‘m spineless, for I was only a tool used by Andrew to provoke Rosalie.”.
