The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 690 Just as Natalie was about to lose her temper, a warm but rough hand covered her tightened fist Behind Natalie, Hannah shook her head and said, smiling bitterly. “Don’t argue with your colleague over| can go right now.” Hannah then turned around, and she began to stoop and stagger away Natalie went after Hannah immediately. “No, it shouldn't be you who leaves, Hannah. Sof you may not know who she is. but Hannah is my first client as an independent designer. | brought her here to discuss the details of the design,” she said in a loud voice for everyone around to hear.

The entire stuburst into a fit of whispers as they heard this, and everyone looked shocked.

A colleague stepped forward and said awkwardly. “You should probably reconsider, Natalie. You just made your debut. How could your first design be for an old person?” “That's correct. Our main market focus is usually young people You're moving in the wrong direction,” another seconded. To everyone around, Natalie's unusual idea would clearly week their market reputation.

“Have you heard now. It’s not justwho doesn’t support you Most of the designers here are against this. I'm reminding you as your colleague to not take work from poor clients. It's degrading to our studio. Whatever the case, W Marks was your starting point. You must consider Draco.” Mandy's tone was nonchalant as she leaned against the table and sneered at Natalie Natalie's smile dropped. She pulled a contract out of her desk drawer and said, “This is my contract with Hannah. Go ahead and check the payment estimate.” She slammed the document on the table.

A colleague moved over and took a curious peek “5 million!” “Are you seeing correctly How could that be? Letsee! No way! That's truly five million! Great heavens!” “Are you seeing things? This old woman does not look like she could afford 5 million!” Mandy's expression shook as she moved over and angrily picked up the contract.

It was indeed 5 million dollars.

Mandy curled her lips, taking a moment to think. She then silently put down the contract. The price of this order was much higher than the first order she had received when her career had begun.

“I'm sorry, Natalie. In fact, if the client is offering this much, I'm willing to design clothes even for the elderly.” “Money makes the mare go. | think Natalie is a practical person. This price is so high that I'll agree even if I'm asked to make shroud.” “Speople are just jealous because they can’t get such an order.” Her colleagues’ mockery and sarcasm were upsetting to hear. Mandy glanced at the crowd, the anger she felt was evident in her face. “It seems that you have too much ton your hands. Don’t you all have work to do.

Otherwise, | can easily tell Draco to fire all of you!” Mandy's anger scared half of her colleagues, who gave each other awkward glances before dispersing. Natalie and Elizabeth exchanged a smile.

Natalie helped Hannah sit down. Taking her hand Into her own, Natalie told her, “Don’t talk about leaving again.

You didn’t do anything wrong. You shouldn't let those villains’ schemes succeed.” Hannah nodded her head slowly, agreeing immediately Natalie turned to Mandy, whose face was still as red as a tomato, and asked calmly, “Is Hannah qualified to stay now?” “She is your client. It's none of my business whether she stays or not.” Mandy smiled awkwardly. She turned around and was about to go back to her seat, but suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Turning around, she met Natalie's stare, trying to decide her words carefully.

“Have you ever considered how an old woman in shabby clothes could give you 5 million dollars? It seems strange, so be careful about being cheated. There are so many swindlers these days. They pretend to be rich old people in their seventies and eighties so people aren't wary of them Keep your eyes open and watch out.” Natalie sighed. She didn’t want to have this argument with Mandy, so she said, her tone unchanging, “It's none of your business. You're not going to receive the money and even if it is a scam, you won't be the one to pay for ie.” Mandy's eyes lit up as her eyebrows raised in irritation. She insisted, “I really think that this woman is a fraud.

You have to contact the client who's going to pay the money or | will call the police. | don’t want the W Marks Stuto be invoked in such a fraud.” Mandy's threat left Natalie speechless. She wanted to laugh in her face but instead, she gave her a calculated smile, replying frankly, “Stop it, Mandy. That's enough. Stop playing such childish tricks.” In the middle of their arguing, Draco arrived. The stusuddenly becquiet.

“What childish tricks?” Draco had missed their conversation and was confused about what had happened Mandy immediately strutted over to Draco, her high heels clicking loudly. “I was just telling Natalie about how she could be cheated, but she believes I'm being childish.” Draco glanced between them quickly before turning to Mandy and stating, “Showthe contract.” Mandy hurriedly handed the contract to Draco. The room remained silent, the shuffling of papers being the only sound that they could hear. He looked through it carefully and then, placed it on the table. Folding his arms, he stated, “Mandy, you are exaggerating. This contract is very formal and rigorous. There are no problems in this.” Despite this confirmation, Mandy remained stubborn and pushed Draco to read it again. “I don’t believe that.

Check it again. You didn’t read it carefully enough.” With a helpless smile, Draco refused. “I could read it a thousand times, but that doesn’t change the fact that there are no issues or inconsistencies in the contract.” He turned away from Mandy to look at Natalie and said, “This is your first formal client Be more careful and work hard.” “I understand Thank you for your input, Mr. Wesley.” Natalie nodded in his direction before turning to Mandy with a smile.

Draco turned around to leave, but stopped and turned back to look at Mandy, whose eyes were fiery with anger.

“Mandy, cwith me.” Taking a deep breath, Mandy followed Draco in.

The stubecquiet again for a bit, Natalie turned her attention to Hannah again, who still insisted on leaving. “I've only been here for a while and I've already caused you so much trouble. This will affect your work.” Natalie gave Hannah a warm smile, refusing her wish to leave. “You're not causing any trouble for me. That woman just doesn’t like me. But, considering she can’t do anything to me. | guess she’s just trying to bully a kind person like you because it’s easier. Don’t worry. | have the ability to protect you now.” Hannah patted Natalie's face gently, a smile on her lips. She raised her head and sighed, her eyes full of gratitude.

“You have grown up so much. | never thought that one day | would be able to wear clothes that you were making forDidn't you say that you could showthe cloth? Let's go and pick it together.” Mandy closed the door behind her and turned to face Draco, who was sitting in his office chair.

“It doesn’t make sense, does It? How can that old woman afford five million dollars? And that contract is not rigorous at all!” Mandy pulled out a chair in frustration and sat down opposite to Draco.
