The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 280 Marcus Confronts Sky

After making the rounds and meeting numerous guests, Natalie was feeling both exhausted and hungry. However, she maintained a composed and graceful smile, not letting her weariness show.

Shawn, standing beside her, noticed her discomfort. His eyes filled with concern as he asked, "Ms. Walker, would you like to take a break?"

His gaze dropped to her high heels. "You have been standing for a long time. Do you want to sit down and maybe change into a more comfortable pair of flats? Mr. Lincoln asked me to take good care of you. Let me take you to rest for a bit." Shawn dared not reveal his true feelings for her, so he used Lincoln as an excuse. Not far away, Celeste shot him a knowing smile, clearly amused by the situation. Shawn ignored her and spoke again with gentle persistence. "Ms. Walker, Mr. Lincoln messaged me, asking me to take you to the lounge and get you something to eat."

Fearing that she might not believe in him, he took out his phone and showed her the message. Sure enough, Lincoln had given the instructions.

Boss (Lincoln): Take Nat to the lounge later, get her some food and drinks, and help her change into more comfortable shoes. Make sure she gets some rest.

Natalie read the message and nodded after a moment of thought. She was indeed quite tired. While she could manage in high heels, she wasn't used to wearing them for such long periods.

She had met most of the people she needed to at the welcome party. Everyone was well aware that she was the true daughter of the Walker family, and they now treated her with respect. Even if she stepped away for a while, no one would say anything.

"Alright, let's go rest for a bit."

"This way."

Shawn had visited Walker Estate multiple times with Lincoln, especially during past parties. Since he had been specifically instructed to take care of Natalie that day, he had already asked Gorge about her designated lounge.

"You seem more familiar with my home than I am, Mr. Haines," Natalie teased as they entered the elevator.

The elevator stopped on the third floor, and Shawn led the way down the hallway until they reached a door labeled "Ms. Natalie's Lounge".

Natalie chuckled. "I almost feel like you're part of the Walker family."

Shawn smiled and said politely, "You flatter me, Ms. Walker. Mr. Lincoln has

always trusted me, and I have visited Walker Estate quite a few times. Since I was given instructions today, I made sure to be well-prepared."
