Richest Mogul

Chapter 964

Natalie was now fully sober as she said, “I didn’t drink much. I was just a little tipsy.”

At the same time, she felt a bit of regret. While everyone sang earlier, she belted out off–key and became a microphone hog. It was so embarrassing she felt like she had made a fool of herself abroad.

“Your singing was better than back in college. Have you been practicing secretly?” Skylar asked with a laugh.

Natalie gave her a look of despair. “Let’s just cut off contact.”

The next day, she had no idea how to face Austin and Hank, and she felt she had socially embarrassed herself.

Once in bed, she confessed worriedly, “These past few days, while working with Mr. Powell, I keep feeling like something’s not right.”

“What’s not right?”

“Sometimes, when I see Mr. Powell, I keep recalling that moment when he kissed me. Even though I know it was just him getting into character, I still…”

“Still what?”

”

Natalie bit her lip and said, “I still think Mr. Powell is truly an Oscar–winning actor. His kissing skills are incredible.”

Skylar thought, “Is that the main point?”

Her mouth twitched with amusement. “So his kissing skills have you fixated? Do you want to try again?”

“It’s possible. Mr. Powell’s kissing skills are so impressive that my mind went blank! It turns out I’ve been fixated on his kissing skills and want to try again. I’m obsessed with Mr. Powell’s kissing skills.”

Natalie seemed to have stumbled into a new realization about herself.

Skylar struggled to maintain her composure. “You didn’t consider anything else?”

She wondered if Natalie was only fixated on his kissing skills and not on him as a person. Skylar didn’t ask directly because she was worried about giving Natalie the wrong impression.

After all, given her current state of confusion, whether Natalie liked Austin or could develop feelings for him was uncertain.

“Anything else? I remember I accidentally touched Mr. Powell’s abs that day. You wouldn’t believe how disciplined he is. His diet must be controlled by willpower alone.

“His physique is maintained through hard work. He looks thin in clothes but has well–defined muscles underneath. That’s Mr. Powell–his well–defined physique is incredibly tempting,” Natalie said, nearly drooling as she spoke.

She realized she was now craving Austin’s physique again. These thoughts were only safe to share with Skylar.

Talking about it helped ease the strange feelings she had been experiencing.

Skylar was speechless. “You’ve often mentioned how great Mr. Powell’s physique is.

“That was different before. Back then, I only have videos and photos to look at from a distance. Now, I see him in person every day. I can touch him and even kiss him.

“It’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words.” She felt that her limited vocabulary from school couldn’t quite capture the depth of her experience.

She still felt a flutter of excitement whenever she thought about it..

“Have you ever had any improper thoughts about Mr. Powell? Like, trying to make a move on him?” Skylar asked.

Natalie’s eyes widened, and she shook her head vigorously. “I’ve had some improper thoughts, like wondering what Mr. Powell looks like without clothes. But I wouldn’t dare to make a move on him.

“Besides being my boss, he’s also my idol. I know my own limits well. Even if it weren’t Mr. Powell, I’m not interested in pursuing anyone at the moment. Right now, I’m focused on my career.”

After a big setback with Jeremy, she wasn’t ready to fall for someone again without reservation. The thought of romance and marriage was frightening to her.

“Let’s talk about something else. Aren’t you and Joe supposed to be taking wedding photos in a few days?

Skylar didn’t press further and simply nodded. “We’re scheduled to go for the shoot the day after tomorrow.”

She had the feeling that the plan might still be canceled.

Natalie didn’t catch the underlying meaning in Skylar’s words, feeling a bit tired. She cheerfully nodded and said, “That’s great! With your figure, you’ll look stunning in any wedding dress. Joe won’t be able to take his eyes off you.

“I’m too tired. I need to sleep now,” Natalie said.

Without another word, Natalie closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly, even with the lights still on.
