The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 534

In actuality, Derek anticipated seeing Natalie. He was curious to see her reaction when she saw him. Derek regarded him as more desirable than her spouse because of his youth and good looks.

On the other hand, he hadn’t seen Natalie since he walked in. Even the designer sitting in the front seat paid him no mind.

Derek grimaced and went specifically to the designer who ignored him. “Hello, lovely lady! I’m Derek Ramsey. Is the designer responsible for my project here?”

As soon as Derek walked into the studio, Tasha heard the noise, but she didn’t feel anything for the dashingly dressed man in front of her. She got to her feet and said, “Just a sec, please. Let me show you to the VIP area first.” “Appreciate it.” Derek’s lips pursed as he observed Tasha’s growing baby bump. That explained why she had zero interest in him. She was expecting.

Tasha noticed Derek looking at her and was at a loss for words. Even though he was a major celebrity model, this man’s antics were too immature.

Derek looked around a lot on the walk to the VIP area, but he couldn’t identify the face he kept picturing in his head.

“What is it that you seek, Mr. Ramsey? The restroom is on the left down that corridor–if that’s what you’re looking for.” Tasha frowned and offered a tip.

With shame on his face, Derek admitted, “I need to see Natalie. During my time at Northcliffe, she was there to look after me. I’d want to speak with her this time.”

Tasha recalled that Natalie had instructed her to inform Derek that she was not available should he ask about her.

“Natalie hasn’t shown up to work today. This morning, she went to attend to other obligations.” Tasha smiled politely and said, “Please don’t worry, Mr. Ramsey. The designer who will be handling your order is a seasoned pro as well. It is safe to say that she is Mr. Wesley’s most devoted student. Get her input on the plan first.”
