Zeke's jaw dropped to the floor. Not only was Dustin not an alumnus
of a prestigious institution. but he also did not attend university Was
he even a good match for Natasha?
"Natasha, what's going on? You didn't drag a random man here just to
shut us up, did you?" Zoey was displeased, for she believed that a doctor
from an ordinary medical center wasn't worthy of
sharing a dinner table with their group
"Stop acting funny Dustin is an expert in medicine and martial arts
You'll know soon." Natasha puffed her chest with a smile.
"Natasha, I'm sorry, but you'd be better off dating me if you were
giving this doctor a chance," Gordon finally spoke up half-jokingly He
had once pursued Natasha but was turned down. Now that Natasha got her
eyes on an ordinary doctor, he started to think he had a chance because
he felt that he was way better than Dustin. After all, the Flynn family
was one of the elites in Balerno.
"Right, Natasha, I think Gordon's pretty decent He stayed single just
to wait for you. Why don't you. consider him?" Zoey winked at Natasha and
started matchmaking
"Gordon? Nah, he's not my type," Natasha shot down the suggestion.
"Natasha, now, you're being harsh Gordon graduated from a prestigious
university He runs a company worth billions Isn't he a stronger candidate
than a doctor? Zoey analyzed
"Gordon's life is none of my business My boyfriend is Dustin Please
do not joke about this topic" Natasha frowned a little, clearly crossed.
"Plus, if you are talking about an excellent candidate, Dustin is the
best for me Even a hundred Gordons Ean't beat a single Dustin Rhys "
The expression on the faces of Natasha's friends froze, none expected
that remark from Natasha Haimon, and they wondered if Natasha, the Steel
Lady, was just like the average woman blinded, by love
"Hmph' I'm not a big shot, but I rake in billions annually. If this
gentleman here is a hundred times better than I am, does that mean he is
making hundreds of billions per year?" Gordon started acting funny. He
was obviously unsatisfied with Natasha's comparison.
"The money you earn doesn't mean a thing Even if Dustin is dirt poor,
I will still love him. Do you get it now?" Natasha schooled her friends
coldly
"Hah! So, he's a sugar baby Gordon snorted with disdain, and the
other friends joined him to look down on Dustin.
"Gordon Flynn, watch your mouth! If you're not hungry, perhaps you
should see yourself out!" Natasha's expression hardened.
"Alright, alright Natasha, we're all old schoolmates here. They're
only pulling your leg. Just relax. Come here. Take a seat, everyone,"
Zoey hurriedly played the mediator when she realized the situation was
rapidly deteriorating.
Gordon didn't say a word after that, but he shot a venomous look at
Dustin.
After they took their seats, they started chatting and eating
harmoniously. However, they gave Dustin the cold shoulder due to his low
social status. Still, he was unconcerned by the treatmentand enjoyed his drinks and food as though he wasn't part of the
group.
In the middle of the conversations, the door to the private lounge
flung open. A middle-aged man. with a beer belly marched in with two
bodyguards in tow. Adriana, who had been rather quiet, suddenly seemed
frantic when she noticed the intruders.
"Ms. Lovett, why didn't you pick up our calls? Do you think we
couldn't hunt you down if you hid in a small town?" The middle-aged man
flashed a menacing grin.
"My contract with the company is annulled! Stop harassing me!"
Adriana warned them.
The man scoffed. "Hah! Is that for you to decide? What do you take
our boss for? The company invested money and effort to launch you to
fame. Now that you're established, you plan to go solo! You're taking
advantage of us, don't you think?"
"I've paid you back the money I made over these years! What more do
you want?" Her face fell.
"Hmph! That tiny amount of money isn't worth a thing! Our boss is
interested in you as a product. As long as you're with the agency, you'll
bring in dough constantly. You must know that, don't you?" The man
chuckled.
"I will not go with you! Just give up!" Adriana appeared adamant, but
the man snickered and said, " That's not for you to decide too. Guys,
take her!"
