The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

She knew that Draco studied under Nelson’s guidance and that Draco was very grateful for him.

How could he refuse his teacher’s last art exhibition? So, she took the opportunity to invite Draco.

This way, their relationship would definitely ease up.

Just when Mandy thought she succeeded, Draco spoke.

“I will think about it. If there is nothing else, you can leave now, Miss Hamilton.”

Mandy’s usually demure smile was on the verge of shattering like delicate porcelain.

She never imagined that even the allure of Nelson’s art exhibition wouldn’t sway Draco’s resolve.

Could he truly be so adamant in refusing to date her? Noticing Mandy’s immobility, Draco repeated his request in a soft voice, “Miss Hamilton, please take your leave. I am quite preoccupied at the moment.”

Desperate to avoid leaving a sour taste in his mouth, Mandy reluctantly retreated from the office.

As she emerged, her gaze couldn’t help but drift toward Natalie’s seat, brimming with resentment. It was solely Natalie’s meddling that had driven a wedge between her and Draco, causing their relationship to deteriorate.

Had it not been for Natalie, she might have already claimed the title of Draco’s girlfriend.

Elizabeth caught Mandy’s lingering stare and couldn’t resist a chuckle.

“Miss Hamilton, do you miss Natalie so dearly that you can’t tear your eyes away from her seat?” Mandy shot Elizabeth a venomous glare and retorted, “Miss her? Spare me the revulsion.” Elizabeth’s voice dripped with insinuation.

“Ah, well, it’s for the best. Natalie wouldn’t want you constantly pining after her, anyway.” With no desire to engage in further conversation with Elizabeth, Mandy stormed out of the W Marks Studio, her high heels clicking angrily against the floor.

The moment Mandy stepped outside, a sinister thought began to take root in her heart.

Was Natalie planning to become an independent designer? Mandy vowed she would never let Natalie’s aspirations come to fruition. Natalie had made thorough preparations this time.
