The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 681

Natalie felt a mixture of emotions, and her eyes welled up as she observed his firm expression. “Wherever 1 go, you will always be my mentor. Mr. Wesley, I’m grateful for this opportunity.”

Draco grinned as he remembered something. He interrupted her and asked, “How have things been lately? I mean you and Brandon.” He sounded like a boss who was concerned about his subordinate.

Natalie returned her gaze with a frown and asked. “Did Brandon come to you? He can be unreasonable sometimes. Please don’t mind him.”

“Well, I noted that you lately commuted from another place. I assumed you had relocated. It turned out that you and Brandon are at odds.” Draco was calm, but his eyes had a humorous glint.

Natalie’s smile froze. “It’s a minor issue. Don’t worry, Mr. Wesley. It will have no impact on my work.”

Elizabeth approached Natalie after she had left Draco’s office and asked, “Did he suggest you consider becoming an independent designer?”

“Were you just eavesdropping outside? 1 was only there for three minutes.” Natalie gaped at her in disbelief.

“How could I? It seems that you are not well informed. Everyone knows Mr. Wesley wants you to be an independent designer,” Elizabeth explained.

“1 don’t want to work as an independent designer for now. But Mr. Wesley just revoked all my ongoing projects and requested that I carry out additional ones in my own name.” Natalie appeared distressed.
