"Hey, hey, what were you talking about with Nicholas? Are you guys going to see each other again?" Joy asked very curiously and kept urging Natalie to tell Joy about their relationship.
They got out of the taxi and entered the apartment after paying for it.
"Nat! Answer my question!" Joy exclaimed, getting annoyed that Natalie had been ignoring her all this time. She dragged the pink suitcase and matched Natalie's footsteps, which were faster than her.
"I don't know where to start," Natalie said with a frustrated look on her face, which did not describe happiness at all even though she had just been proposed to by a handsome and rich man.
"What? Why? There seems to be something good going on between you two, right?!"
"Does my face show anything good?" Natalie asked, pointing to her own tired face.
Joy was silent, it seemed she had said something wrong.
"Then what? You don't want to tell me?" Joy kept pushing until they were in front of Natalie's room. Even Joy came into the room.
"Joy, what do you think I should do when someone asks me to marry him?"
Joy frowned, still digesting the words that came out of her friend's mouth. Not long after, Joy's eyes rounded perfectly and covered her mouth hysterically. "You were proposed to marry by Nicholas?!"
"Well ... something like that," Natalie replied with a sigh and then lay down on the bed.
"How could that be?!" Joy walked over to Natalie, and sat down next to the woman. "Tell me more details!"
"I still don't understand why he likes me. Do you think it makes sense just because he watches my live so often?" Natalie asked, she still could not believe that a man like Nicholas who was so far above her level could like someone like her.
"Why isn't it natural? I now understand why he gave you so many gifts! That means he loves you very much. As if the gifts were only part of his living money before you two actually got married. Damn, I'm so jealous!" Joy shouted happily as she shook Natalie's shoulders. In fact, Joy is the one who is the most excited because she knows that her friend will soon be someone else's.
"Hold on for the thought of me marrying him," Natalie said, pushing Joy's face too close to hers.
"Why? Did you turn it down? You must have wasted your once-in-a-lifetime luck!" Joy shouted, this woman is very excited and very noisy.
Natalie took a deep breath, talking to Joy was exhausting at a time when she needed to calm down and think wisely about the blonde-haired man's marriage proposal and offers.
"Joy, I just met Nicholas for the first time. There's no way I'd accept the proposal right away, he would definitely think I'm a slut. Can't you just use your brain a little bit?" Natalie was getting annoyed and spoke a little harshly to her friend.
"O-okay, I'm sorry ... I'm too happy because I think you two are very suitable and Nicholas looks really like you," Joy said slowly, feeling guilty for making Natalie uncomfortable.
"Everything takes time, after all, it's not that easy I believe in men. Honestly, I also don't believe in love at first sight anymore."
"Nicholas said if he loved you the first time he saw you?" Joy asked who got Natalie's head nod in response. "Wow, I think he's a very unique man and frankly. Without further ado, he immediately proposed to you for marriage," Joy commented while stroking her chin.
"He's too perfect to make me suspicious."
"You're right, I'm sorry for pressuring you to accept the marriage proposal."
"Then what about his cousin? You seem to like him," Natalie asked, she unsure of Joy, who had been so flowery since meeting Denzel.
And it turned out to be true.
Joy's face immediately turned red with a blush on her cheeks.
"Well ... honestly, I do like him. Actually, he also said he liked me, but we haven't decided to date," Joy replied, explaining her relationship with Nicholas' cousin was.
Natalie looked at Joy in disbelief, even though she had just told Joy about her not being able to easily believe a stranger who suddenly said he liked her and even proposed to her. However, Joy felt the opposite.
"Seriously, Joy? The first time you guys met and you fell in love with him right away?" Natalie asked in disbelief. "Have you two interacted before?"
"He gave me gifts several times, but I'm not like you, who was curious and asked Nicholas for a video call. So I never talk directly with Denzel," Joy said explained.
"I see. Well, it's up to you I have no right to say no. I hope Denzel is a good man."
"He's so nice and fun!" Joy exclaimed enthusiastically, Natalie relented and let her friend drown in the sea of romance.
"If there's anything whatsoever, please tell me, okay?" Natalie asked. She is very worried about Joy because usually, people who are drunk on love find it difficult to put their minds forward. It was not that she did not completely trust Nicholas or Denzel, but because the castes between them were so far apart that it worried her.
Because Natalie has a little trauma with men like that.
Joy smiled, she approached Natalie and hugged her tightly. "Thanks, Nat. I know you're very worried. But at least we can think positively if not all rich men are jerks," she said in a soft voice.
Natalie smiled bitterly, she nodded slowly. The hug was released, and they laughed together. Finally, Joy left Natalie's room to rest because tomorrow she had to go back to work at the restaurant.
Natalie stared blankly at the ceiling. Still can not believe what happened today. She wondered what Nicholas would do to approach her. It was undeniable that her heart was beating fast when she faced him, but still, Natalie was still thinking about her pride.
She did not want to fall in love with Nicholas so easily.
The black-haired woman got up from her bed intending to put her things back in their original place. And tonight, as usual, she will do a live stream. Natalie had to earn a lot more money after spending half her money staying at the Nicholas Hotel.
After her appearance as Loretta was ready, she entered the special room for live streaming and then sat in front of the camera. She began to turn on the live until the guests entered the live stream room.
With both corners of her lips raised up, her personality will change dramatically when she becomes Loretta.
"Hi, guys! Loretta here! Let's have fun tonight as usual!"
