Chapter 16

Chapter 16 She shot a death glare at Natalie before leaving the banquet without a word.

In the meantime, Alfred led Natalie and Shane to his private lounge.

“Alfred, this is a present from Mercede. She wished you a happy birthday.” Natalie handed the gift over to Alfred. Actually, today was not only an ordinary banquet but Alfred’s birthday banquet. She was one of the few who knew it was his birthday.

“Please pass on my thanks to her and send her my regards.” Alfred unwrapped the gift in front of Natalie. It was a Brown Betty teapot handmade by Mercede. Although it was not of great value, he couldn’t help but let out a heartfelt smile when his eyes met Mercede’s signature engraved at the bottom of the teapot.

He put the gift aside and turned to face Shane, picking up their conversation interrupted by the commotion just now. “Shane, as you can see, I am past my prime. With regards to what you’ve said just now, I think I can’t be of much help.”

Shane was tonight’s biggest donor. Instead of becoming a partner of the Moore family’s project, he was here to invite Alfred to become the chief designer of Thompson Group’s latest project – Project Rebirth.

He was a stickler for perfection when it came to his work. The only two fashion designer he had in mind was Alfred and Mercede.

Since the latter was currently residing overseas, Alfred was the only one he could turn to. Hence, he fell into silence when Alfred turned his request down.

“Actually, I have a person in mind.” Alfred suddenly shifted his eyes to Natalie. “What do you think about Nat? She is a creative young lady.” In a befuddled state, Natalie stood rooted to the spot.
