Chapter 114

Natalia’s smile stiffened for a moment. She hadn’t mentioned tonight’s affair to Hamilton. Had she done so, she likely wouldn’t have made it this evening.

Hamilton didn’t care about her, but his need to control her was exceptionally strong.

To this day. Natalia couldn’t figure out what that man was thinking. Just like she couldn’t understand why he cared so much about Eveleen yet insisted on keeping her close.

The thought of Hamilton and Eveleen still cast a shadow over Natalia’s heart. Even though she tried not to let it bother her, it still hurt.

Caspian noticed the fleeting cloud over Natalia’s expression, and his brows knitted slightly.

“Argued?”

Natalia snapped back to reality, shaking her head. “No.”

Caspian didn’t press her, merely nodding. “Listen, if you need a hand with anything, just holler. I’m the kind of guy who helps a friend out, family or not.”

Natalia smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

It wasn’t long before Ryan returned.

Caspian looked at Natalia. “We’ll catch up after the gathering.”

*Sure,” Natalia agreed.

She followed Ryan toward the interpreter’s booth.

“Nervous?” Ryan’s eyes still twinkled with delight.

Natalia chuckled. “It’d be a lie to say I’m not.‘

It had been three years since she last did simultaneous interpretation, and to jump back in at such a large–scale conference, she feared making a mistake.

But Ryan just smiled. “I believe in you.”

Natalia glanced at him and said no more. Having agreed to the task, she wasn’t one to bail at

the last minute.

Inside the booth, several interpreters were already engaged in hushed discussions about the conference content. Upon Ryan and Natalia’s arrival, all eyes turned toward them.

Most high–end interpreters were familiar faces at various conferences, but Natalia was a new face to them.

The head of the translation department, Collin, couldn’t help but frown.

“Ryan, is this the Italian interpreter you spoke of? Has she done this sort of work before?”
