Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Why The NextEra CEO Is Interested In You?

When Natalie entered her office, she was greeted by the sight of her dear friend sitting comfortably on the couch, browsing through a tablet.

"Nice responses to those reporters, Nats," Mia said with a smile.

With a warm smile of her own, Natalie walked over to her friend. "Still can’t compare to you, Ms. Mia Wilson."

Mia stood up and pulled Natalie into a hug. "Feels like it’s been an eternity since I saw you."

Natalie hugged her back. "Did everything go well?"

Mia hummed in affirmation and reached into her bag, pulling out some files to hand over to Natalie. "Everything’s in place. The investment’s secured, the plan is set, and we’re ready to start production."

Natalie nodded appreciatively as the two settled on the couch. Moments later, Nora arrived with coffee for them both.

"Don’t just skim through it—sign it too," Mia teased. "Once you do, you’ll officially be my business partner."

Natalie didn’t hesitate, signing the papers with a smile. "Thank you."

"Don’t thank me. It’s your beauty, my friend, that’s brought us the biggest investor," Mia said with a mischievous grin.

"What do you mean?" Natalie asked, raising an eyebrow.

Mia leaned in with a playful look. "Do you know who the biggest investor in our perfume project is?"

Natalie caught the teasing glint in Mia’s eye and made a quick guess. "Justin?"

Mia chuckled, clearly amused. "So you do admit that Justin is enchanted by your beauty."

Natalie frowned, realizing she’d guessed wrong. "Just tell me—who’s the investor?"

"NextEra," Mia answered. "They approached me on their own with the investment offer. I gave it some thought. I didn’t want any help from my brother, so I figured using the charm of my beautiful friend—who just so happens to have captivated a very wealthy man—wasn’t a bad move."
