Natalie shook her head, her gaze fixed on the familiar figure in the distance. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Joe hadn’t finished the wedding photos in the afternoon due to work commitments, so she wondered how he could be here now.

Suddenly, her expression changed. The woman walking toward Joe was Verá. Natalie now realized that Vera had come to Fachington as well.

Joe must have canceled the wedding photo shoot this afternoon because of Vera. And now they were both at the hospital. It seemed that Vera was unwell.

Natalie felt a pang of disbelief. Such scenarios were common in novels and TV dramas, but she never expected to witness one firsthand.

She wondered what Joe truly thought of Skylar.

Austin noticed Natalie’s face filled with frustration as she stared ahead, her teeth clenched. He followed her gaze and saw a man and a woman he didn’t recognize.

“Do you know them?” he asked.

“Yes, I do,” Natalie admitted.

“Do you want to go say hello?”

“Oh, no, that’s not necessary. We’re not really close, just acquainted.” Natalie quickly shook her head. Her concern was still with Skylar.

This was truly unfair to Skylar. First, there was Christopher, and now Joe, who had betrayed her. She had thought Joe was trustworthy, but it turned out he was involved in something like this behind the scenes.

Overcome with frustration, Natalie couldn’t help but mutter, “Men are all bad.”

This comment was not loud enough for others to hear, but Austin was sure to catch it.

Natalie’s face flushed red as she glanced at Austin, who looked astonished.” Mr. Powell, I didn’t mean it like that. Not all men are bad, but you’re a good person! You’re absolutely a good person. Really!

“The two people who just left the hospital–they’re not a typical couple. I couldn’t help but comment. I definitely wasn’t referring to you, Mr. Powell.*

She was feeling extremely embarrassed and frustrated. She often spoke without thinking and was now reretting it deeply.

Natalie’s frequent slip–ups always seemed to cause trouble.

Austin watched her with a mix of amusement and curiosity as her expression changed rapidly. Her face was a whirlwind of regret and self–reproach.

He smiled, finding her reactions entertaining “How good do you think I am?*

Natalie was caught off guard by the question. “How good?”

“Mr. Powell, you gave me work when I needed it and have never been harsh with me. I know I haven’t performed perfectly in many areas, but you’ve never criticized me. Also, when my friends visited, not only did you give me time off, but you also invited us to your mansion.

“Of course, your acting is incredibly impressive. I’m amazed by it every day. To me, no one in the world has better acting skills than you. It’s all true!” She nearly swore an oath to prove her sincerity.

Austin’s gaze grew thoughtful, a deep, unreadable darkness in his eyes.

Feeling a mix of nervousness and embarrassment, Natalie swallowed hard.” Do you not believe me?”

“I believe you.”

Austin believed it so much that he seemed to have a sudden realization.

Austin’s eyes were dark, like an endless night, deep and intense.

Natalie’s heartbeat quickened as Austin’s gaze grew darker and more intense.

Natalie found Austin impressive. When he focused intently on someone, it could make that person feel completely overwhelmed.,

For a brief moment, she wondered if he had feelings for her.

However, she was rational enough to dismiss the hought. There was no way Austin could be interested in her. He was likely just touched by her recent

comments.

After all, it was rare for employees to remember and appreciate their boss’s

kindness, and it was understandable if that made Austin happy.

Her thoughts often ran wild.

On the way back to the hotel, Natalie quickly sent a message to Skylar. “Skye… are you asleep?”
