Chapter 246 If Natalie were here

Natalie stood in the outfield, looking at everything around her indifferently.

She stood right next to the entrance, surrounded by entering guests.

Although she was dressed in a low-key manner and stood away from the crowd, she couldn’t concealher overall temperament and outstanding appearance.

Although the guests who just came in looked hurried, they couldn’t help but be attracted

to her.

It was impolite to look at her standing next to them openly, and they glanced at her.

“Where is this young lady from? Why haven’t we ever seen her before?” A man in a suit

whispered.

The woman on the side glanced at Natalie, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. “I haven’t seen herbefore, probably from a remote place to attend the exchange meeting.”

At this exchange meeting, she knew all the influential figures, but she had never seen this

woman before.

Reasonably, if she had seen someone with such a stunning appearance, she would definitelyremember her vividly and never forget. But she never had this woman in her

memory.

With such a seductive appearance, she must have gotten the invitation from somewhere. Maybe sheeven managed to sneak in.

Thinking this way, the woman felt a little relieved.

Taking a sigh of relief, she turned her head and saw her boyfriend staring at Natalie without moving.

If it weren’t for her standing next to him, the man would have already approached Natalie to strike up aconversation.

She suddenly lost her temper and pulled over the man who was out of his mind, whispering, “Let’s go!”

The man was dragged away.

And Natalie didn’t even notice the people around her, and her attention was all focused

on the wine in front of her.

There were various colors of wine in front of her, all filled with tall glasses, reflecting colorful light underthe dazzling light.

The mellow aroma of wine permeated Natalie’s nose, and she lowered her eyes, enjoying every sip.

Not knowing how long she had been drinking, she lifted her head and glanced casually

at the door.

And she saw familiar figures.

Julian was dressed in a black handmade suit, with exquisite gold rimmed glasses on his nose, and hisbody was slender and straight.

He politely handed the invitation to the waiter and then took a step into the outfield.

He didn’t rush in, but glanced across the room, seeming quite nervous.

Natalie held a wine glass in her hand and raised her eyebrows.

In the past, whenever Julian appeared in such an occasion, he would definitely be the

focus, surrounded by flattering people, making it difficult to meet him once.

Perhaps due to being accustomed to the flattery of those around him, Julian was very

dignified and arrogant.

But today, he clearly restrained his temper, and was even timid, completely lacking the

previous arrogance.

Even the pace of walking was quite rapid.

It was the first time Natalie had seen such a Julian, and she found it very interesting.

Not long after she looked at him, a woman’s petite voice came from behind the man,

“Julian, don’t leave so fast.”

Niki was wearing a high set gown with a crimson flower pinned to her chest front. Her face wasadorned with exquisite makeup and her hairstyle was meticulously curled.

At first glance, it was evident that she had dressed up meticulously to attend this

meeting.

Natalie looked at her coldly, while Niki tightly grabbed the dress with one hand, her face.

quite anxious.

Such a scene seemed familiar.

Last time, at a bustling banquet held by the Graham family, Niki also attended like this.

However, unlike today’s awkward appearance, Niki gracefully entered the room holding Julian in hand,under the envious gaze of everyone.

How long had it been since then? Why was Niki so embarrassed?

How could Julian watch Niki struggling to pursue him from behind?

Natalie curled her lips and watched all of this. It really became more and more

interesting.

Niki spent a lot of money on this dress for today’s exchange meeting.

She knew she didn’t have much status and didn’t deserve to participate in this exchange

meeting, and this invitation was Lara’s.

At this meeting, there must be various celebrities. If there were no more precious things

around her, no one would look up to her.

She could only rely on expensive dresses to give herself some confidence.

But although this dress was gorgeous, the hem was very long, dragging on the ground,

making it inconvenient for walking.

Julian, on the other hand, walked very fast without waiting for her. In order to catch up with the man,she could only tightly hold her dress with one hand and extend her other

hand forward, trying to pull Julian and make him walk slower.

Julian, however, seemed unable to hear and walked straight ahead.

Niki was helpless and could only shout louder, “Julian, wait for me please.”

Although the people around her didn’t react and were communicating about their own

affairs. But in this elegant atmosphere, Hearing the shouts of others was always unpleasant.

Julian also noticed that.

He tilted his head and a hint of discomfort flashed on his face.

This kind of thing never happened before when Natalie was here.

She understood etiquette, and what could be done or not.

She had a better understanding of how to be appropriate and more elegant in such a grand occasion.

At least Natalie would understand that attending such an academic exchange meeting should not be insuch a gorgeous dress.

Moreover, it was such a long skirt.

Looking at the entire audience, no one else dressed as gorgeous and luxurious as Niki, but she reallystood out.

Julian looked embarrassed.

But Niki didn’t seem to notice and continued to shout, “Julian!”

The unhappiness of the people around them was more pronounced, and someone even made a “hiss”sound, clearly about to get angry.

Julian couldn’t keep calm.

He couldn’t help but frown, with a hint of disgust and annoyance on his face.

He was forced to stop.

Niki then showed a smile as she walked over with a small step and said, “Julian, let me hold you.”

She was about to hold Julian’s arm, but when looking up, she saw Julian’s cold face with a hint ofdisgust in his eyes.

Her raised hand froze, and she was unable to understand why she had offended Julian.

Get Boynt

She could only reluctantly put away her hand and stood obediently beside him.

Julian calmed down and slowly walked into the infield.

The infield was more luxurious, and there were more people inside. Surrounded by the

giants of the pharmaceutical industry, there were also many nobles from New York.

As soon as they came in, countless people looked at them.

Niki had never seen such a scene before. A hint of nervousness flashed on her face,

almost tripping over her left foot and falling to the ground.

Julian’s expression became even worse.

Fortunately, he quickly pulled her, so that Niki didn’t make a fool of herself in front of so

many people.

If Natalie were here, how would such a thing happen?
