Although the dining peak has passed, there are many people in the group, and so people do not leave imdiately after eating, choosing instead to chat for a while in the restaurant.
The bigger reason is, it’s heard that President Thorne would bring the First Lady here for a al. Catching a sight of the First Lady isn’t easy, of course they would seize the opportunity.
This resulted in Natalie Vaughn having to greet soone with each bite during the al. Because of the etiquette she learned since elentary school, Natalie couldn’t greet people while eating, so she simply put down her chopsticks.
It wasn’t until Zane Thorne coldly said sothing that people stopped coming over to greet them, allowing Natalie to continue her al.
Natalie joked with a smile.
"See, I’m more popular at your company than you are."
Hearing this, the man didn’t deny, letting Natalie enjoy her mont happily.
"What are you planning to do later?"
Since Natalie had slept for quite a while earlier, from what he knows, she must be unable to sleep now.
"How much longer is your lunch break?"
Zane glanced at his watch.
"Half an hour."
Natalie originally wanted to chat with Seraphina Sutton, but with such a tight break and so many things at the end of the year, she figured maybe not.
"How about I go shopping at the mall next door?"
Zane’s eyebrows moved slightly.
"Do you want to accompany..."
Natalie interrupted Zane.
"No need, I’ll just wander around myself. You do your thing."
Zane frowned, surely he couldn’t possibly let Natalie, who ca specifically to accompany him to work, go shopping alone.
"It won’t take long, I’ll be back before three."
With that, Zane smiled a little.
"You’ll have to co back too."
Natalie didn’t understand what Zane ant.
"Why must I be back before three?"
Zane initially didn’t want to say, but seeing Natalie’s unwilling expression without an answer, he felt it’s okay to tell her.
"There’s soone from The Blackwood Family coming over to discuss a collaboration in the afternoon."
Natalie blinked.
"Is it Yvonne Blackwood?"
Zane leisurely picked up a wet towel from the table and helped Natalie wipe her fingers.
"Will you co back before three?"
"Yes, definitely."
She rembered that Yvonne Blackwood also had her eyes on her man. Hmph, how does The Blackwood Family have the face to want to negotiate a collaboration? Isn’t Serena Blackwood’s shaful fiasco enough already? Still thinking their current strength in any way could make Zane look at them differently?
With that thought, Natalie let out a cold laugh, her eyes glowing with intention.
"So you deliberately asked to accompany you to work today?"
Hearing this, Zane glanced at Natalie, only speaking once he ensured he had wiped her hands completely.
"Weren’t you here to see Seraphina Sutton today?"
Natalie: ...
Ugh, why is he still hung up on that? Didn’t she stay in his office after seeing Seraphina?
Natalie pulled back her hands, propping her chin with both hands, blinking at him.
"I ca to be with you."
Brazenly lying without batting an eyelash was Natalie’s expertise, and Zane couldn’t be bothered to expose her.
"Leaving now, or resting for a while?"
"Are you really accompanying ?"
Zane gave her a sideways look.
"Are there fake ones?"
Smiling, Natalie linked arms with Zane, who wouldn’t be happy to have their husband willing to accompany them shopping at the mall? Ever since she t Zane, they hadn’t shopped together.
No, at their first eting, she did go to the mall to buy a set of clothes, but Zane just stood waiting outside, looking quite impatient.
The mall was very near, so the two walked over instead of driving. On the way, there were quite a few office workers too, but each hurried back to their company after lunch. A couple like Natalie and Zane were indeed rare, attracting many glances due to their appearances and deanors.
They both grew up under the watchful eyes of many, so such stares didn’t inconvenience them.
Only, Natalie forgot one thing, she just finished filming "Kings Rising," and is sowhat a new actress, a fledgling star.
No, she’s a fledgling star who hit hot searches a few tis with over ten million fans.
As soon as they reached the mall, Natalie was recognized. Initially, there were just one or two fans, but afterward, perhaps they ssaged sothing in so fan group or super-topic, bringing more fans.
Also, many of Natalie’s fans were young won from well-off families, having so pocket money.
Hence eting them at this high-end mall.
"Missy!"
Finally unable to contain their excitent, a fan shouted to Natalie, using the nickna fans gave her.
Natalie: ....
For the first ti, Natalie found the fan-given nickna slightly... embarrassing. Cough cough, being called "Missy" by so many people in public felt like a parade of a princess from ancient tis.
Natalie quickly bent down, pressing a hand against her lips.
"Shh!"
The fans scread excitedly, quieting only after seeing Natalie’s gesture.
She winked at them, flashing her charm.
"Darlings, let’s keep it low-key."
The fans were taken with so much excitent by her calling them "darlings," nodding madly, ready to comply with anything Natalie said.
"Would Missy sign for us?"
Natalie frowned, looking conflicted for a mont, causing the fans to be a bit on edge.
"Is sothing wrong?"
"It’s not that, but..."
Natalie cleared her throat.
"My handwriting might be a bit ssy."
"It’s alright, as long as it’s from you, Missy, we’ll love it! We’ll cherish it for sure."
Still, Natalie thought it’s rare for fans to bump into her, so having a chance to autograph, ssy handwriting might seem a bit disappointing.
"How about an English autograph?"
"Sure, sure!"
Fans handed over paper and pen, and Natalie quickly signed her English na, hesitating for a bit before neatly writing her na in Chinese at the end.
Her writing wasn’t exactly ssy, just neatly like a young student’s script, sowhat not matching her image.
One bold fan carefully glanced at the man beside Natalie, daring not to linger her gaze a second longer.
"Missy...is this bro-in-law?"
After asking, she realized she had asked a silly question.
Given that stature, physique, and deanor, could it not be him?
Natalie winked at the fan who asked.
"Shh, your bro-in-law is shy."
Fans: ???? Really? Could such a commanding bro-in-law be shy?
Zane:....Shy? This cheeky girl indeed has a quick tongue.
The man frowned, not out of impatience, but because it was chilly outside the mall and warm inside, causing the cold and warmth to clash, and considering Natalie’s light clothing, he worried she might catch a cold.
Seeing Natalie finished signing the last autograph, Zane directly pulled her into his arms.
"Ti to go."
With swift, decisive movents, showing a domineering but doting aura.
The fans couldn’t help but scream.
"Bro-in-law is so handso!"
Natalie:...
Eventually blushed red.
Oops, unintentionally flaunted their love in front of the fans.
Almost as soon as the couple entered the mall, Natalie’s fan groups and super-topic exploded.
"Who understands the joy of seeing Missy and bro-in-law’s public display of affection in person!"
