Natalie’s words immediately yanked Dalores back to reality.

Surely, Draco must have seen how Natalie had slapped her twice and pushed her on the ground.lt was the perfect opportunity to ruin Natalie’s image in Draco’s eyes, once and for all! Dalores immediately rushed over to him.

“Did you see that, Mr.Wesley? Natalie dragged me to the workroom just to slap me.This is bullying!”

“Why did you do that?” Draco asked Natalie directly, his brows furrowed, his eyes clouded.

Even so, his tone was neither harsh nor accusatory.

Natalie opened her mouth to say something, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat.

If Draco had only seen what had transpired just now without knowing about the events that led up to it, then she really wasn’t in a position to defend her actions.

“I have a personal matter to settle with Dalores.As such. I wanted to deal with it in private. nov3l0ʑ I don’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble to the studio, and that’s why I took her to this room to resolve our issue.”

Natalie didn’t bother to deny what she had done. She looked Draco in the eye and said, “I apologize, Mr. Wesley.l got carried away by my emotions and acted rashly.”

Dalores flashed her a smug smirk before plastering a pitiful expression on her face.

“Mr.Wesley, as long as Natalie stays at W Marks Studio, this incident is bound to repeat itself.She has no qualms about beating me up simply because she doesn’t like me.I can’t even begin to imagine how she will bully other colleagues in the future.I think it’s time for her to move on and find a different workplace.”

Dalores spoke in an empathetic tone, as though her suggestions were meant for the general good and not her own interests.She was presently dealing the victim card, after all.She must not come off as too aggressive.

Draco said nothing, but his expression grew serious.

His grip on his sketches tightened, crumpling the parchment.lt wasn’t exactly strange for Dalores to be stirring up trouble, but Natalie kept her head low, if only out of respect for Draco.

He had mentored her diligently and told her she had promise, yet she went and beat one of his employees in his very own studio.

Draco must be very disappointed in her.
