    Chapter 1767 Special Gift


    “I see,” Lina nodded. “That makes sense. After all, how can Mr. Thompson possibly miss his beloved


    wife''s awards ceremony?”


    “Weren''t you just asking if he would attend or not? Now you''re saying how can he possibly miss it?


    Lina, I''ve noticed you''re quite good at beating around the bush,” Natalie said with a smile as she looked


    at her.


    Lina chuckled, “Well, that''s how people should be. As long as you master this trick, you can get by and


    even thrive in any circle.”


    “Indeed,” Natalie neither agreed nor disagreed.


    Lina''s eyes flickered as if she had thought of something. She leaned in closer to her and said, “Right,


    Nat, you only got up at noon today. It seems you used the gift I sent youst night. How was it? Was


    the effect good? Did your rtionship with Mr. Thompson take off all of a sudden?”


    Upon hearing that, Natalie''s face turned beet red in an instant. Then, with a mix of embarrassment and


    indignation, she pped Lina lightly. “How dare you bring this up! I was nning to forget about it. But


    since you insist on mentioning it, fine, just wait for your punishment.”


    As she spoke, Natalie fiercely gripped Lina''s neck with both hands and shook her violently.


    Lina was shaken until she was dizzy and disoriented. She quickly pleaded for mercy, “Nat, Nat, please


    calm down. Stop shaking me. I''m feeling dizzy. I may throw up soon.”


    “Well, you had iting!” Natalie huffed.


    Even though she said that, she still let Lina go out of soft-heartedness. “I was really looking forward to


    the gift you were going to give me, but I didn''t expect that you would give me something like that.”

    Looking at Natalie''s blushing face, Lina chuckled, “Didn''t I tell you? You and Mr. Thompson just ended


    your cold war and reconciled. You need to enhance your rtionship, so I thought about it for a long


    time before deciding to give you this. This is the most direct way to express genuine feelings. I''m doing


    this for your own good. You don''t have to thank me, but you shouldn''t pinch me either.”


    “You''re still talking,” Natalie red at her. “Do you have any idea how embarrassed I wasst night


    when I saw it? In any case, you''re not allowed to bring this up again. If you do, you''ll have me to deal


    with. Do you understand?”


    She pointed at Lina and issued a fierce warning.


    Lina stuck out her tongue and reluctantly agreed, “Alright, alright, I get it. I won''t bring it up anymore.”


    “That''s good to know. Otherwise, I''ll give you the same thing when you get married,” Natalie


    threatened.


    Initially, she thought that Lina would feel embarrassed and hastily decline, but to her surprise, her eyes


    lit up with excitement as she nodded enthusiastically. “Sure, sure.”


    Seeing her like this, Natalie suddenly found herself at a loss for words.


    After all, there was no way she could speak to someone who has no shame.


    With a helpless shake of her head, Natalie decided to ignore her.


    The more attention I give her, the more she misbehaves. Who knows what embarrassing things she


    might say next?


    With that thought, Natalie lowered her head and continued to look at her cell phone.


    Lina knew she was being ignored, but she did not get angry. She understood well that her friend was


    more sensitive than she was.


    She was well aware of her own carefree and nonchnt personality, and so was her friend.


    She understood that her good friend was simply avoiding her because she feared what inappropriate


    things she might say next.


    Soon, they arrived at thepetition hall. It was absolutely packed with people. Journalists from major


    media outlets had practically taken over the entire ce.


    Not only were there foreign media outlets present but also arge number of domestic media had


    made the trip specifically for Natalie. They were there solely for her.


    After all, Natalie was a fellow countryman. It was the first time since the founding of their nation that a


    compatriot had be a champion and earned the opportunity to design the ceremonial attire worn by


    key figures from various countries at the opening ceremony of the World Games.


    Therefore, the current fame and status of Natalie and Lina in the country had skyrocketed. They gave


    the people a sense of pride and something to brag about.


    After all, there have been so many World Games, and the ceremonial outfits worn by important figures


    from various countries had always been designed by foreign designers. Domestic designers had never


    had the opportunity.
