Chapter 988 The Earnest Yvette

Natalie was caught off guard by Yvette’s hug.

Yvette was aloof in public, but standing before Natalie right then, she was rather coquettish and candid.

“Ms. Snyder.” Natalie smiled faintly, but she didn’t quite know where to place her hands at that moment.

Without letting go of her, Yvette asserted, “Don’t call me Ms. Snyder. Just address me as Yvette, my savior.”

“Um… Okay, Yvette.”

Still hugging Natalie, she sniffed at her like a puppy.

At that, Natalie couldn’t help inquiring, “Is there… some smell on me?”

“Yup! There’s a faint herbal aroma.” While saying that, Yvette inhaled deeply once more. “It’s entirely different from the average perfume, exceedingly unique and fragrant! It should be your body scent, not those perfumes available in the market.”

Her hold on Natalie was unyielding.

At the side, Yandel and Lia’s jaws dropped at the sight of Yvette, whose behavior was the polar opposite of their impression of her.

Although they’re both women, isn’t she hugging her too tightly? Tsk-tsk, love is seemingly in the air!

In the end, Yvette’s manager, Selene Jacoway, cleared her throat. “Ahem, ahem. Have care for your image, Yvie!”

Only then did Yvette reluctantly drop her hold on Natalie with disappointment written all over her face.

Looking at Natalie, Selene clarified, “I hope she didn’t scare you, Ms. Nichols! Actually, such is Yvie’s character in private. She’s just like a kid. I was afraid that she’d act in such a way when attending events, so I deliberately devised an aloof image for her.”

Understanding dawned upon Natalie, and she giggled.

“Not at all. She’s incredibly adorable!” Subsequently, she turned her gaze to Yvette and flashed her a smile. “Don’t keep calling me your savior. I’ve got to thank you for that matter as well. If it weren’t for your magnanimity in allowing me time to investigate the case, Dream might not have the opportunity to relaunch the Rebirth collection.”

Beaming, Yvette queried, “In that case, can I call you Natalie?”

“Sure!”

Yvette was mainly there that day to discuss the upcoming arrangements for her endorsement of the Rebirth collection.

For the most part, it was Selene who negotiated as her manager. Apart from Yvette, everyone else noticed her propping her hands under her chin and gazing at Natalie with stars in her eyes from the beginning to the end.

Embarrassed by the stare, Natalie cleared her throat.

“Ahem, ahem!”

Yvette hurriedly got up and poured a glass of water, handing it to her. “Your throat must be dry. Here, have some water.”

At a loss for words, Natalie swallowed.

Under Yvette’s earnest gaze, she downed the water in the glass.

An hour later, the meeting concluded.

With that, Yvette and Selene took their leaves.

Selene went to retrieve the car while Yvette was waiting at the entrance. She caught sight of a man in a black T-shirt and black casual pants walking over with a cup of coffee in hand.

“It’s you!” She recognized Jerome at a single glance.

Startled, Jerome frowned slightly. “Who are you?”

“Do you not remember me anymore?” Staring at Jerome, Yvette explained excitedly, “There was a bomb at the art museum back then, and you were the one who came in to rescue us!”

Following that remark, Jerome had a vague impression of the incident. Alas, his memory was limited to the bombing case itself. He hadn’t much recollection of Yvette’s face.

Disappointment swamped Yvette when she noticed the lack of recognition in his eyes.

“Do you really not remember me anymore?”

In response, Jerome shook his head. “I’m sorry. Perhaps, I’ve saved too many people that I can’t remember every single one of them. Anyway, I’m glad to meet you again.”

Perturbed by Yvette’s dejected expression, he handed her a cup of coffee.

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

The corners of Yvette’s mouth turned up when she received a cup of coffee from the man.

She wanted to speak further, but Selene had already stopped the car in front of her and urged, “Get in the car, Yvie. I’ve already given you an hour to rest, so we’ve got to rush through the shooting!”

Despite still having much to say, she had no choice but to climb into the car and leave in a hurry.

When Natalie reached the building entrance, she was greeted by the sight of Jerome handing Yvette a cup of coffee.

After Yvette had left, Natalie went over to Jerome and nudged him with an elbow. “I didn’t know that you were acquainted with Yvette. Well? Don’t you replace her absolutely stunning? Would you like my help to win her over?”
