"Beautiful Miss Monroe, I look forward to our next meeting, may I leave your contact information?" Mr. Smith looked at his watch, he had important things to do later, so he could only go ahead.
"Sure, here's my cell phone number..." Vanessa said a pleasant goodbye to Mr. Smith, it just so happened that she wanted to go to the bathroom, only with a strange man here, it was inevitably a little embarrassing to say it.
....
Vanessa had just come out of the restroom and rounded the corner of the hallway, ready to go back inside the ballroom, when she heard the voices of Ethan Blackwood and a woman.
Vanessa stood behind a pillar and glanced in the direction of the two of them, a girl with the innocence of a mature woman with a sense of purity that looked somewhat familiar.
Wait a minute! Look familiar? Could it be the novel heroine?
Natalie Rivers!!!
While starting to like Ethan Blackwood a little bit, this relationship isn't deep enough, and as a fictional cannon fodder character, she should be a little self-conscious.
The long-awaited Natalie Rivers has returned to America? Is her contract going to be canceled soon? That's great! Finally, she can escape from Ethan Blackwood, the big lecher!
Vanessa nearly screamed in surprise, covering her mouth and rushing to hide behind a pillar as she tried to hear what the two had been talking about.
"Why did you come back?!" Ethan Blackwood sneered
"Whether I come back or not is none of Mr. Blackwood's business." Natalie Rivers said in a faint voice.
"Didn't you have anything you wanted to say to me when you walked away?" Ethan Blackwood stared hard at Natalie Rivers in front of him.
"There's not much to say, and I wish Mr. Blackwood a speedy marriage to Miss Chambers, with children and grandchildren." Natalie Rivers looks up with what appears to be a sincere wish.
What happened in her last life had cast an indelible shadow on Natalie Rivers, so she definitely wouldn't let Lily Chambers off the hook.
With the advantage of being reborn, she had not only accomplished something in clothing design but also accumulated some money in investment.
She has been paying attention to the domestic trends and found that the Chambers family's negative news keeps popping up, so she also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to return to the United States to bring down the Chambers family!!!!
Ethan Blackwood was not at fault in his previous life, but the overly childish relationship between them really couldn't stand the blows and interference from the outside world.
In this life, she recognizes her position clearly and will not repeat the same mistakes!
"Miss Chambers? Lily Chambers? "Ethan Blackwood was puzzled, then his eyes filled with disgust "How could I possibly be married to that vile woman?!"
"It is a fact that you are engaged!" Natalie Rivers didn't want to bullshit Ethan Blackwood, she'd heard that same rhetoric from Ethan Blackwood in her last life, but it was soon followed by the news of the two families' union and engagement, and then the fact that she'd been murdered by Lily Chambers, tied up in a secret warehouse.
"What do you mean, fact?" Ethan Blackwood questioned.
...
Vanessa, who was listening to the wall, heard something familiar at once, why are these conversations so familiar?
Oh yeah, it's one of those conversations from the original novel, but instead of taking place in this current scenario, it takes place in Ethan Blackwood's office after the two principals hand over a Blackwood Group project that the heroine, Natalie Rivers, is involved in, and comes with an 'office crumpet'' to readers of the novel.
Is this a butterfly effect from her crossing over? The heroine had appeared earlier not to mention that a lot of things weren't quite the same as the novels she'd seen either.
But she did her own step well, and things shouldn't be too far off.
"We're not engaged, it's just that Grandpa mentioned it before, and there's no way I'm marrying her, so that's why you walked away as soon as you did?" Ethan Blackwood's eyes were dead set on Natalie Rivers, wanting to hear the answer from the ruthless woman.
"Yes or no it's none of Mr. Blackwood's business is it, I've got some business to attend to." Natalie Rivers, her expression still cold, turned to leave.
"Good...Haha very good!" Ethan Blackwood laughed out in anger, after not seeing her for 10 years, he turned out to be so ridiculous!
Vanessa saw this scene now and hated it a little, ''You chase after it, male lead! Why did you let the female lead go?!''
How much the heroine suffered in her last life! This life is still not allowed to grow up alone?!
"Go chase! Grab her hand! Tell her! I've always loved you!" Vanessa couldn't help but say what was in her heart at the thought! Nay the voice was not small.
"Who?" Ethan Blackwood's voice was extremely cold and his blue pupils looked mercilessly in the direction of Vanessa's voice.
Vanessa ostrich-like hid herself behind a pillar, not daring to make a sound.
"Tart.Tart.Tart," the clear, strong sound of leather shoe treads came closer and closer to Vanessa before finally stopping.
"Vanessa? you were eavesdropping?" Ethan Blackwood was shocked, and then his voice became very dangerous.
"I...I didn't..."Vanessa opened her eyes and looked at the shocked man in front of her, unable to defend herself, "I just came out of the bathroom and saw you talking to that girl, but I didn't hear a word, I swear!"
Vanessa held up her hand with four fingers extended, her gorgeous little face sincere to the core.
"Do you think I'm going to take your word for it?" Ethan Blackwood's voice became extremely cold and unfeeling.
Vanessa finally felt the oppressive feeling of being in a high position in Ethan Blackwood.
"Okay...I heard you." Vanessa gave up lying, some uneasiness in her eyes, but very sincerely suggested to Ethan Blackwood, "Don't worry, I won't do anything even if I heard you... this is the end of our contract, I...I'll go first? I'll go back and move my stuff out today! I wish you the best of luck in your quest to re-capture Miss Rivers!!!"
Vanessa spoke more and more quietly, looking at Ethan Blackwood's increasingly grim face, her body turning in a position ready to run a 100-meter sprint, and mentally counting: 1.....2....3!
