    Chapter 1769 Sean Is Here


    With the refreshing scent of mint invigorating her senses, Lina finally felt the fog in her mindpletely


    dissipate. She was thoroughly awake.


    Afterward, she handed the perfume to Natalie. “Nat, would you like some?”

    “Why not?” Natalie took the perfume and sprayed it on herself twice before closing the lid. Only then


    did she respond, “He''s not here yet. Let me ask him.”


    After returning the perfume to Lina, Natalie took out her cell phone and sent a message to Shane.


    About two minutester, his message came in.


    Upon reading the message, Natalie smiled and said, “He''s already on his way here. He should arrive in


    about ten minutes.”


    Lina curled her lips. “He''s not even afraid of missing out by showing up at this hour.”


    “Absolutely not.” Natalie shook her head with a smile, “Our awards ceremony is broadcast live in its


    entirety. Shane has been keeping an eye on it all along. He won''t miss it.”


    “That''s more like it.” Lina nodded.


    Natalie stood up. “I''m going to the restroom. Are youing?”


    “I''m not going.” Lina waved her hand dismissively. “I''ve been sitting here for half the day without


    drinking water. I don''t need to use the bathroom.”


    Her words were so blunt and crude that they annoyed and amused Natalie at the same time. “Alright


    then, you wait here for me. I''ll be back in a bit.”


    “Go ahead, go ahead.” Lina nodded.


    With a smile, Natalie stepped out of the awards hall and headed to the restroom.


    She had thought that with so many peopleing today, the restroom would probably be crowded.


    However, when Natalie arrived at the restroom, she found itpletely empty and spotlessly clean, as


    if someone had deliberately cleared everyone out. It was incredibly eerie.


    However, Natalie did not overthink it. She simply attributed it to a coincidence and walked into the


    partitioned area.


    The moment she stepped into the stall, a few individuals suddenly emerged from outside the women''s


    restroom. They positioned themselves on either side of the restroom entrance and stood guard like


    sentinels, effectively blocking the door to the women''s restroom.


    Originally, there were peopleing over to use the restroom. But seeing the situation, they


    immediately ran away.


    In fact, even if thedies tried to enter, they would still be driven away by those people.


    After those people secured the restroom door, another set of footsteps could be heard.


    Immediately after, a man dressed in a ck suit appeared outside the women''s restroom.


    The people guarding the restroom, upon seeing this man, immediately greeted him with respectful


    nods.


    Nothing happened to the man. He simply gave them a slight wave of his hand before walking into the


    women''s restroom.


    In the restroom, Natalie had finished using the toilet and was now in front of the washbasin and


    touching up her makeup.


    Hearing footsteps behind her, she did not bother to look back. She assumed it was just someone


    heading to the restroom.


    It was only when she was applying her lipstick that a man suddenly appeared in the mirror. She


    abruptly stopped what she was doing. Her eyes were wide in disbelief as she stared at the man in the


    mirror.


    Sean?


    What is he doing here?


    Natalie was utterly shocked, then abruptly turned around to look behind her.


    As expected, Sean was standing there with his hands tucked into his pockets and a slight smirk ying


    on his thin lips. He was smiling at her. “Nat, it''s been a while. You''re bing more and more


    beautiful.”


    Sean praised in a deep voice.


    Natalie''s brows were tightly furrowed. Her lipstick gripped firmly in her hand. Her heart was pounding


    rapidly, filled with fear and unease.


    “What are you trying to do?” Natalie asked, her hands gripping the edge of the washbasin tightly behind


    her. She watched the man in front of her warily, and her mind was inplete disarray.


    Why?


    Why is he here?


    It was as if Sean did not notice the wariness and fear in her eyes. With a wicked smile, he strode


    toward her.


    Seeing the situation, Natalie immediately put her hands up in defense and instinctively shouted, “Stop,


    you''re not allowed toe any closer. Do you hear me? You''re not allowed to approach me!”


    Yet, Sean continued walking without stopping. After he walked up to her, he ced his hands on the


    mirror behind her, trapping her between his arms and the mirror.


    Such an intimate yet unsettling gesture made Natalie''s heart flutter uncontrobly. Her face turned pale,


    and her body began to tremble slightly.
