Chapter 334


    In order to keep hispany''s star designer, Natalia, from leaving, William was willing to agree to any


    absurd conditions, especially if it only meant keeping her identity a secret. So, without any hesitation,


    he agreed to Natalia''s conditions and allowed her to work remotely, having the office interns deliver her


    design drafts daily.


    William''spany was on the rise, and as any good CEO would do, he was looking to expand his


    operations. His gaze fell on the distantnd of Melfort. The most influential corporation in Melfort was


    the Andersen Corporation.


    In order to sessfully prate the Melfort market, William sent all of Natalia’s bestselling designs to


    the Andersen Corporation, hoping that these perfect creations would catch the eye of Andersen''s top


    brass.


    Soon, William knew he was on the right track. The President of the Andersen Corporation wasing


    for a personal visit. This was a golden opportunity. With half an hour to spare before Magnus, the


    President of Andersen Corporation, arrived at hispany, William rushed to call Natalia. Respecting


    Natalia and keeping his promise, he dialed Natalia''s number to seek her approval.


    At that moment, Natalia was enjoying the morning sun, stretchingfortably. Hector had set the


    breakfast on the table - two sses of orange juice, a few slices of whole wheat bread, and a tossed


    garden sd. He heard Natalia''s phone ring and called out, "Natalia, breakfast is ready. Also, your


    phone is ringing. Better answer it."


    Upon hearing this, Natalia wiped off her sweat, walked towards the open-n dining room, and took


    the phone that Hector handed her. "Hello, who is this?" She asked cheerfully.


    William''s voice came from the other end of the line. He sounded ecstatic. "Natalia, get ready quickly.


    We need to head to the airport."


    Confused, Natalia asked, "William, didn''t we agree? I only handle design drafts, and I''m not involved in


    anything else. Can I pass on this airport pick-up?"


    Upon hearing this, William got anxious. "Yes, I did agree to your conditions, but this is our best chance


    to break into the oversea market. They''re specifically asking to meet you. For the sake of thepany,


    can you make an exception, Natalia?"


    Natalia was silent for a moment. She really disliked formalities, which was why she had initially been


    asked to do only design drafts. But considering how respectful William had always been to her, she


    couldn''t decline his request. She sighed and agreed.


    "Alright, but can I ask whichpany it is?" Natalia asked, a hint of worry in her voice. She had never


    heard of apany wanting to meet the designer just based on the design drafts.


    As soon as William heard that Natalia had agreed, he was overjoyed. "As long as you''reing, that''s


    all that matters. I''ll pick you up. You should know whichpany it is, right? It''s the globally renowned


    Andersen Corporation. If we can secure their investment, breaking into the oversea market will be a


    breeze."


    While William was confidently exining this, Natalia was dumbfounded. "Wait, the Andersen


    Corporation? The one based in Melfort?"


    "Exactly!" William said, brimming with confidence. "It''s incredibly rare for a smallpany like ours to


    be noticed by a world-ss conglomerate like them. We need to seize this opportunity and can''t afford


    any mistakes."


    As William rambled on, Natalia felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood still, her mind


    nk, and dropped her phone.


    "Get ready quickly, Natalia. I''ll pick you up soon..." William''s voice trailed off as he heard the ttering


    sound from the other end of the line. Afraid that something had happened to Natalia, he anxiously


    called out, "Natalia, Natalia?"


    But there was no response. Frustrated, William checked the time and realized that there were less than


    20 minutes left until the Andersen Corporation''s arrival. "I have no choice but to go pick her up myself."


    He then stepped on the gas and headed towards Natalia''s apartment.


    Meanwhile, Natalia was still shocked. She had moved to Rome to avoid Magnus'' pursuit. Even when


    designing, she deliberately avoided using her real name, fearing that it would give Magnus a clue to


    find her. But never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that the investor for Stitches Fashion would


    be the Andersen Corporation. Was this a coincidence or a twist of fate?


    William had mentioned that a representative from Andersen Corporation was specifically asking to


    meet the designer of these drafts. It seemed her cover had been blown.


    But where could she have slipped up? On all her drafts, she had only left a single initial, "N,"


    Where could she have gone wrong?


    Sitting on the floor, utterly baffled, Natalia was brought back to reality by the sound of a phone crashing


    onto the floor from the open-n kitchen where Hector was busily working.


    Thinking something had happened to Natalia, Hector quickly rushed over. "What''s wrong, Nat? Did


    something happen?"


    When he arrived, he found Natalia squatting on the floor, her face pale, and her eyes vacant, lost in


    thought.


    Hector instantly grew anxious. Squatting beside her, he asked urgently, "Natalia, what''s wrong? Are


    you feeling alright?"


    Hearing Hector''s question, Natalia finally snapped back to reality. She turned her pale face towards


    him, her expression helpless. "Hector, Magnus ising."


    "What?" Hector was equally shocked. He never would have suspected that Magnus would suddenly


    show up.


    Natalia repeated, "You heard it right. Magnus ising."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
