Chapter 208


    The female celebrities threw Tobias seductive looks as they auctioned off their items.


    Natalie was feeling worried as she saw.


    They were obviously seducing him so publicly. Did they have no shame?


    Fortunately, Tobias was not attracted to all the female celebrities, no matter how alluring they


    looked.


    Tobias did not buy any items from the female celebrities. Instead, he bought some art from an older


    male actor.


    Natalie judged them silently in her heart.


    Honestly, Natalie thought even if she was a man, she would fall for any of the alluring female


    celebrities on stage, but Tobias did not even bat an eye at them.


    Natalie touched her face.


    She did not think she was as beautiful as the female celebrities up there. Why did Tobias only have


    his eyes for her and not them?


    Could it be that he only liked her?


    Natalie giggled.


    Then she remembered that it was not an asion for her to giggle loudly, so she quickly shut her


    mouth.


    The charity auction event finally ended.


    Then, the group of people entered the banquet hall.


    The banquet hall, which could amodate thousands of people, was magnificent and filled with


    gentlemen anddies. They were all drinking and toasting with each other.


    Natalie held Tobias'' arm and walked into the banquet hall. She could feel resing from


    numerous pairs of eyes.


    "Isn’t that the president of the YS Group, Tobias? Why is he here?"


    "Tobias never attends any events. Why is here this time round?"


    "Mr. Whitlock is really as handsome as they say, but who on earth is that woman beside him?"


    "I didn''t know that Tobias was seeing anyone. I guess that woman is not as simple."


    Natalie had a polite smile on her face that gave her a confident and generous look.


    She did not want to embarrass Tobias at such an event because of herck of confidence.


    She once read a romance novel which was about how Cindere turned into apletely different


    person as she apanied the president to such an asion.


    She still remembered how the book described her.


    "She raised her head high, a face filled with confidence. She was like a dazzling diamond.


    Absolutely stunning."


    Natalie was searching for the same feeling the girl in the novel had but she suddenly came to a sad


    realization.


    In the romance novel, the woman was like a diamond. She only felt like a proud hen thatid some


    eggs, feeling arrogant and pretentious.


    Natalie sighed deeply.


    It seemed that she was just not like the girl in the story. She should just be herself and not try to act


    like who she was not.


    She did not have to pretend to be arrogant and unapproachable nor did she have to be too humble


    and soft. She just had to be normal.


    Thinking about this, Natalie felt more at ease.


    After entering the banquet hall, Tobias was still bombarded by these high-profile people.


    Natalie''s eyes showed a trace of adoration as she was admiring how Tobias was conversing with


    these high- profile people about politics and business.


    She had never seen this side of Tobias before.


    He stood out from all the gentlemen there. It was as if he was the center of attention!


    But soon, Natalie was attracted by the delicious food in the banquet hall instead.


    In fact, when she first entered the ship, she noticed the delicious food and now the delicious food


    appeared again.


    That cake looked delicious.


    The sushi looked quite scrumptious as well.


    Oh, those fruits looked so fresh!


    Natalie gulped.


    Tobias'' ck eyes fell on her face and said, "You can go eat if you want to."


    Upon hearing that from Tobias, Natalie threw every restriction she had upon herself.


    "Alright then. You should go on with your chat while I eat." Natalie''s face maintained a calm smile


    but in her heart was prancing in joy and excitement.


    "Oh my goodness! This delicious food, I aming for you!" She thought to herself.


    Tobias nodded.


    Natalie could not wait to walk over to the buffet table filled with delicious food.


    The enticing butter cake was giving off a strong aroma.


    Natalie could not wait to put a mouthful into her mouth.


    "Wow, how can it be so delicious?" She eximed.


    On top of the fresh sushi was extra sulent and juicy salmon.


    Natalie put one into her mouth. It was so delicious that she was about to cry.


    The waiter came over with a silver tter filled with fresh fruit juice and cocktails.


    "Miss, do you want some cocktails and juice?"


    "Juice, please." Natalie nodded. There was still food in her mouth, both cheeks were stuffed.

    The waiter took a ss of juice and gave it to Natalie.


    Natalie had juice in one hand and continued to chew the food in her mouth.


    At a distance, Tobias identally nced at Natalie''s face. His mouth curled into a smile.


    Thedies present were all behaving in adylike manner. They would not eat anything just to not


    ruin how they looked. Natalie was the only one who could be so unscrupulous.


    Natalie did not notice how Tobias was affectionately gazing at her. She waspletely immersed in


    her world of delicacies.


    No wonder there were so many people here. The food was amazing. Everyone must have been


    attracted to the delicacies here.


    However, soon, she rejected the idea. She found that no one was eating except her.


    The men were talking about politics and business.


    Thedies were in small groups of twos or threes, whispering to each other. If not, they were


    hypocritically praising each other''s outfit.


    Natalie was stunned. She thought about how thedies were socializing away and she was the only


    one eating. Perhaps it was not that nice for her to do so and she should pretend to be slightly more


    ladylike?


    Natalie wanted to put the cake in her hand down, but she picked it up again in the next second.


    Natalie was not thatdylike to begin with. Why should she pretend to bedylike?


    Just like before, she wanted to be like the girl in those romance novels she read. She wanted to


    shine as bright as a diamond.


    Not only did she fail to do so, she felt like a proud hen that justid some eggs.


    Natalie simply continued to eat. However, soon after, she heard gossip in her ears.


    "Who is this? Look at how decadent she is. She has butter on the corners of her mouth."


    "She''s not behaving like ady from a rich family. Where did shee from?"


    "I know. I think she came here with the president of YS Group."


    "She can''t be Mr. Whitlock''s lover. I''m not sure which small town she came from but I''m guessing


    she is not some rich family''s daughter."


    "No way. Look at her. She doesn''t know anyone here nor does she know how to socialize. She is


    probably an ordinary person who got her hands on Mr. Whitlock. I can''t believe a nobody like her


    could be on the Princess Cruise."


    These gossip were murmurs. However, they still reached Natalie''s ears.
