Chapter 130

The meeting had run for a full three hours.

Emerging from the translators‘ booth, Natalia was immediately greeted by Ryan.

“Told you you’d ace it. Mr. Collin sang your praises all morning.”

Natalia offered a modest smile. “Honestly, I was sweating bullets the whole time, worried something might go wrong.”

“You’ve just been out of the game too long, burying your talent.”

She looked down, smiling lightly. “It’s been too long, but at least I’m back in the saddle. It’s never too late to start.”

Ryan raised an eyebrow. “That’s true. With your skills, anytime is a good time to jump back in.”

They strolled side by side towards the exit.

Just as they reached the main hall’s entrance, the meeting attendees began to spill out.

Natalia politely edged to the side to make room but was suddenly stopped by a figure in front of her.

She looked up into a pair of piercing eyes.

Dawson! The minister of Foreign Affairs Department, someone Natalia had always admired from afar.

The man’s sharp, deep gaze unsettled her slightly.

Ryan, unfazed, made the introduction. “Mr. Dawson, this is Natalia, the one I’ve mentioned to you.”

Dawson regarded Natalia with a look that seemed to pierce through her as if seeing someone else. His eyes were filled with nostalgia. “Hello, Ms. Jenkins. If you’ll excuse my forwardness, do you, by any chance, know Liliana Spiegel?”

Natalia was taken aback. She shook her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t.“”

A flicker of disappointment crossed Dawson’s eyes, but he quickly recomposed himself. “I’ve heard about you from the morning briefs; they say you have a remarkable talent for languages?”

Natalia offered a humble smile. “I just enjoy it, that’s all.”

Dawson nodded, still gazing at her with a wistful look. “Perhaps you should come by the Foreign Affairs Department more often. We could use someone with your skills.”

After expressing her willingness, Dawson walked away, but not before turning back for one more glance at the young woman chatting animatedly with Ryan.
