The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Feeling relieved, Natalie smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Miss Reed. I really appreciate it.”

Carly checked her watch and apologized, “Forgive me, Miss White. My grandma will be here soon to discuss the design project with Miss Hamilton, so I will not be able to entertain you any longer.”

Carly hoped Natalie would leave soon, so as not to disturb the meeting between Mandy and her grandma.

Since Natalie had achieved the purpose of her visit, she did not need to stay any longer.

“Alright then, I shall take my leave. I will see you some other time.”

Carly nodded with a smile and said, “Goodbye, Miss White.”

Upon seeing the mediocre, unremarkable snacks that Natalie had brought, Mandy’s lips curled into a subtle sneer, dripping with disdain.

No wonder Natalie’s deal had fallen through—she was likely too miserly and close-fisted, Mandy speculated.

Indeed, Mandy’s interception of Natalie’s design project was anything but accidental.

She had meticulously planned it.

As soon as she left W Marks, Mandy began digging into recent happenings at Natalie’s studio.

It wasn’t long before she uncovered that Natalie had inadvertently offended Carly during a _ previous encounter, leaving Natalie scrambling for a chance to make amends and win back Carly’s favor.

That was why Mandy sought out Carly, volunteering to tackle the job herself.

Otherwise, she would never have stooped to take on such a mundane task as designing clothes for an ordinary elderly person, much less actively reaching out to someone like Carly.

To Mandy, Carly was nothing more than a run-of-the-mill modeling agency owner, hardly worth the effort of cultivating a relationship.

The only endeavor truly worth Mandy’s time and cunning was to make life difficult for Natalie.

Her ultimate goal was to force Natalie out of the design industry altogether, ensuring Natalie never crossed paths with her or Draco again.
