Natasha stared at her wet clothes. The alcohol trickled down the hem of her skirt, and her chest was slightly visible.She was already smelling like alcohol, to begin with. Now that an entire glass of wine was spilled on her, the smell of alcohol intensified. One would even think she was a heavy drinker.Natasha looked at her clothes. Since they were utterly soaked, they definitely couldn't be worn anymore, which put her in a very bad mood.Standing beside her, Joshua stared at her wrist with a guilty expression. Her wrist was turning redder by the second. It was swollen, too.It suddenly hit him that he might have been too harsh."Are you alright?" Joshua was tense. Before Natasha could respond, he continued, "Let me help you treat your wounds."With that, he reached for her wrist, eager to promptly tend to the wound. However, in his haste, he unintentionally touched her wounds.Natasha hissed.Sensing something was wrong, Joshua turned around and realized he had grabbed her a

Hearing Carly say Natalie's name sent a jolt through Joshua's heart. He seemed to have truly forgotten about Natalie.Although he felt guilty, he didn't show it on his face.Coldly, he retorted, "Why does it concern you whether I remember Natalie? It's bad to meddle in others' affairs."Clearly, he despised Carly for questioning him.Carly was exasperated to hear that."What does it have to do with me? If it weren't for me, Natalie would've died at those kidnappers' hands long ago! Without me, would you have Natalie? Of course, it concerns me. I'm Natalie's savior."Since you're the one in a relationship with Natalie, it should concern you more than it concerns me. But are you taking care of her? Where were you when she was about to die?"Joshua avoided her gaze. He hadn't been taking proper care of Natalie because of the many company affairs. He didn't even know that Natalie had been kidnapped and even suffered an injury to her leg.However, if he hadn't gotten the Sullivans'

Natasha's words were concise and to the point, summarizing her request in just a few words.On the other end of the line, Shawn was equally proactive. Upon receiving the task, he immediately took action according to her instructions.Moreover, Shawn was currently near the conference's venue, so he could deliver the dress soon.After making the arrangements, Natasha finally breathed a sigh of relief and ended the call. Just as she pressed the button to hang up, someone suddenly handed her a white bundle of cloth.Without hesitation, Natasha subconsciously waved her hand in refusal. "No, thanks."However, the person offering the item didn't retract it after being rejected. Instead, they kept holding it out, insisting on giving it to Natasha. It seemed like they would keep holding their hand out if Natasha didn't take it."Uh…"Natasha furrowed her brow slightly as she observed the person persistently holding out their hand. Turning to look at him, she traced his fingers, nose, and

Natasha draped the floor-length wool blanket over herself, revealing just a tiny bit of the hem of her long, black dress.As she didn't want to draw attention to herself, she purposely walked along the stone path, taking a quieter route.The main reason she did that was to avoid being seen by both Carly and Joshua. She walked quickly and soon arrived at the location where she was supposed to meet Shawn.Stopping in her tracks, Natasha looked around but didn't see Shawn's car. There wasn't anyone else around, either.Had he not arrived yet?She glanced at the time on her phone. Shawn was already two minutes late compared to the estimated arrival time. Natasha pursed her lips, standing alone under the lamppost, quietly waiting for Shawn's car.Under the dim yellow light, her picturesque features were outlined by a halo of light.As it was winter after all, it was cold at night, and there was no one around. Natasha was wearing a thin dress, which couldn't hold up in this temperatur

"What did you say?" Carly didn't catch what Natasha said, so she squinted and asked her to repeat her words.Natasha shot her an insincere smile, which looked slightly mocking, and shook her head gently. "Nothing."As she was still hoping that Carly would take her to the changing room, she definitely couldn't afford to upset her.Natasha changed the subject. "Ms. Turner, aren't you supposed to take me to the changing room? Shall we go?"Carly looked at Natasha with a puzzled look. Given Natasha's expression, Carly felt she had just cursed her behind her back.Glancing at her phone, Natasha couldn't be bothered to analyze Carly's expression in detail.It was already getting late. The scheduled appearance of the Sullivan family's miracle worker was less than an hour away. It would be too late if she didn't change her clothes soon."Ms. Turner, are we going or not?" she urged again.Carly shot Natasha a questioning look, her smile masking her internal musings. Carly was quietly mu
