CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1767 Special Gift

“Weren't you just asking if he would attend or not? Now you're saying how can he possibly miss it? Lina, I've noticed you're quite good at beating around the bush,” Natalie said with a smile as she looked at her.

Lina chuckled, “Well, that's how people should be. As long as you master this trick, you can get by and even thrive in any circle.”
