Natalie's eyes twinkled with a bright, beautiful smile. "Maurice, why don't you do me a favor and let us drive you home?"

Maurice was momentarily stunned by her offer to drive him home. He looked at Natalie in amusement and said with a smile, "Silly girl, I'm a grown man. Why would I need you to drive me?" His smile, sincere and effortless, was pleasing to the eye, even more brilliant than the moonlight outside.

"I just want to drive you home," Natalie declared with determination.

Maurice thought for a moment and said with a feigned reluctance, "Alright, since you're so set on it, you can drive me home."

He was curious to see what Natalie was up to.

In just a few days, she had captured his interest.

But he could tell from the way she looked at him that she admired him, with no hint of romance.

He had no idea what he'd done to earn that admiring gaze

from her.

Natalie, thrilled, turned to Luna. "Luna, hurry and bring the car over!"

Luna was speechless.

She couldn't help but think, 'Has Ms. Shawn fallen back into her love-struck phase? She just managed to get over her obsession with Easton, and now she's become infatuated with Maurice?' Luna had no idea that Natalie actually wanted to work with Maurice or that she would never be infatuated with any man again.

Natalie wanted to establish Fashion Fusion's presence on Maurice's live selling platforms. Autumn had just started, and the winter line could bring in a fortune.

She wouldn't allow anyone or anything to stand in her way of making money.

Natalie said, "Maurice, can we discuss a collaboration on our way back? I know your LiveSale Hub is the hottest live selling platform right now. I'd love to share some ideas with you. Tomorrow, I can send you a detailed proposal." Maurice smiled at her, his eyes deep and unwavering, impossible to ignore. "Natalie, do we need to be so formal with each other? I believe in your abilities and your products. Trust between people can begin to form from their very first meeting." Hearing this, Natalie thought in anger, 'Exactly. Trust can be established at first sight, but that jerk Easton always lets his emotions cloud his judgment, ultimately becoming a fool."

She laughed and said, "I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Unlike someone, you don't make dumb decisions in certain circumstances."
