    Elizabeth’s heart began pounding when Frank leaned in close to her ear. She instinctively looked


    sideways as she asked, “Are you always this concerned about all of your patients?”


    At that moment, Frank fixated his gaze on Elizabeth. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt an oddly


    warm feeling in his chest.


    That was the first time he had observed a woman at such close proximity outside of the hospital.


    He couldn’t help but notice that Elizabeth was really pretty.


    The next day.


    “Who wants some coffee? I’m ordering take-out.” One of Natalie’s coworkers offered to buy coffee. She


    wanted to get Elizabeth a drink but then noticed that she wasn’t in her seat.


    Tasha also seemed to have noticed it because she asked Natalie, “Where is Elizabeth? Is she taking


    the day off? She’s never beente before.”


    “Don’t worry. Elizabeth is fine,” Natalie assured, but that didn’t erase the worry she felt.


    After all, when Elizabeth left W Marks yesterday, she was still a bit dazed.


    Natalie went back to her seat, thinking of calling Elizabeth to check on her.


    Suddenly, her phone beeped. Elizabeth sent her a message.


    “Natalie, I’m going to see a therapist today. Thank you for your help. I was harsh to you yesterday and


    Perhaps Frank had finally persuaded Elizabeth to seek professional help.


    Then, it dawned on Natalie that perhaps he was still with Elizabeth today! She pursed her lips, holding


    back herughter. She immediately messaged Brandon to share the progress in Frank’s love life.


    “What are youughing about? You look like you won the lottery.” Tasha didn’t intend to interrupt


    Natalie’s good time but she still put the document in front of her. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep


    that smile when you see Este’s feedback.”


    Natalie’s smile disappeared. Her expression immediately changed at the mention of the dresses.


    “That’s impossible. Este was very satisfied when I sent the dresses to her yesterday.”


    Este even showered praise on the dresses. Though some of it sounded exaggerated.


    Tasha shrugged. “I don’t know. She sent the memo to me earlier this morning. Here.”


    Natalie read Este’s suggestions with a serious expression that gradually turned into a frown. “These


    are really tricky. Este is going to attend the event soon. If we make the all these adjustments she


    wants, it won’t be finished on time. Isn’t this more troublesome?”


    Tasha mirrored her distress. “Este said she will drop byter. How about you two talk in person?”


    When Este arrived at W Marks, Natalie went out to wee her, herself.


    Natalie ced the memo in front of Este. “Miss Lopez, what’s the meaning of this?” Yesterday, you


    said the dresses were all right.”


    With a smile on her face, Este pulled Natalie until she was sitting down. Este looked at her


    innocently. “The dresses are definitely all right. But I’ll let you in with some good news, they has called


    and informed me and I’m the winner of the prize. So I won’t be needing the backup dress and I’ll just


    wear the morous one!”


    “Congrattions, Miss Lopez.” Nataliemended, gaze briefly veering away from Este. “Since


    there is nothing wrong with the dresses, I’ll excuse myself. I still have my work to do.”


    “Hold on, what’s the rush?” Este pulled Natalie down again. She regarded her with a courteous look.


    “I have a favor to ask you.”


    Natalie’s eyelids twitched. She knew Este. Whatever it was she wanted, it would most probably be


    hours.” Natalie’s lips stretched to a small smile.


    Este’s expression changed. Raising her chin, she snorted. “Then I want the dress to be altered now!


    Change the color of the dress! It should be ready for me to wear tomorrow!”


    Natalie squeezed her eyes shut and breathed deeply before asking, “Fine. What do you want?”


    Este’s face brightened as she beamed with ple@sure. She took Natalie’s hand between hers and

    held onto it. She began discussing what she really wanted. “I’ve decided to write a new novel based on


    you and Brandon. But I’m having a hard time picturing the main character’s archetype. I’ve tried to ask


    Brandon for help several times but your husband refused all my requests. He’s too aloof. He even told


    the Larson Group to cklist me. I really have no other choice but toe to you for help.”


    Natalie already guessed that Este was up to no good. If Brandon refused her, it only meant he wasn’t


    interested in how she was collecting her materials for the novel.


    “I don’t think I can help you with this. Brandon is a very private person. He will not like it if I agree to


    help you on his behalf but without even asking him.” Considering how awkward the situation was,


    Natalie tried to be careful with her words. “As you know, rich and powerful families are always


    Este rolled her eyes and caught a glimpse of the lunch box on Natalie’s table. “What’s that?”


    Before Natalie could stop her, Este already reached over and took the lunch box. She examined it,


    looking at it up and down. With a cunning look in her eyes, she said, “I guess it must be for Brandon.”


    She pursed her lips, feigning a miserable expression. “We’ve got along well, and I consider you a friend


    of mine, Natalie. I never thought you can be so cold and heartless. You said wealthy families are


    loves you so much!”


    Embarrassment was written all over Natalie’s face. She shed a wry smile. “Don’t believe everything


    you hear.” In the end, Este’s persistence won over Natalie’s hesitation. She agreed to let Este


    Este was extremely excited because Natalie agreed to take her to the Larson Group to see Brandon.


    She also began to think about what kind of questions she should ask Brandonter.


    The truth was, she didn’t even know what he looked like. Even though Brandon was the Larson


    Group’s CEO, he seldom showed up in public in the past. Even when he did and there were news


    covers, there were not many pictures of him.


    He had only been seen in public more often after he got married to Natalie.


    Natalie became a little worried when she saw the mysterious smile on Este’s face. So, she


    immediately reminded, “Let me make things clear. I’ll only introduce you to him. I won’t participate in


    your persuading him; you’re going to have to do that yourself.”


    Este held Natalie’s arm as she gently said, “I actually wanted to talk to both you and your husband.


    You just foiled my ns, Natalie.”


    “Believe it or not, I can always break my promise and have no problem with it,” Natalie firmly stated.


    There was a hint of coldness in her eyes as she pretended to look threatening.


    Este quickly nodded. “I know. I’ll behave, okay?”
