Chapter 1011 Taking On A Great Challenge
Natalie sipped her coffee and did not answer Yvette immediately.
Yvette leaned forward and asked tentatively, “Natalie, is my cousin’s request troubling you?”
“Yvette, it is not difficult to ask Muse to design one-of-a-kind jewelry for your cousin. However, what your cousin wants is more than that. She wants something that would garner the king and Prince Jonathan’s favor. From what I can see, it is not an easy task,” Natalie explained.
The explanation made Yvette realize that her cousin’s request contained a much deeper meaning.
“I was too naive. I didn’t realize there was so much to it! No wonder my cousin said no one could help her except me.” Yvette had a sudden realization. “Natalie, I didn’t know my cousin’s request would cause this much trouble. If you do not wish to accept this commission, I can give her an excuse.”
Yvette chewed the tip of her sunglasses worriedly.
However, Natalie shook her head and responded with a smile, “Yvette, I never said I won’t accept this commission.”
“Really?” Yvette’s eyes brightened with relief.
“Of course.” Natalie smiled and said, “However, I have a few conditions. Apart from the fees, I would like your cousin to use her resources to find two rare herbs for me.”
Yvette was surprised to hear that Natalie’s condition included herbs. However, Natalie had also specified that they were rare herbs. Therefore, she left the room to call her cousin and briefly explained the matter to her.
When Yvette returned to the room, Natalie propped her head with a hand and asked, “What did she say?”
Yvette returned to her seat and nodded. “My cousin said it is not a problem. If you can make her shine before Prince Jonathan, she will do everything within her power to help you find the herbs.”
“In that case, can you tell me who your cousin is?” Natalie asked.
“My cousin is called Helma Leitz,” Yvette answered.
“Helma Leitz? Is she from the Leitz family?” Natalie remembered Helma. Helma’s mother was a prominent member of the royal family, so Helma inherited her mother’s traditions and frequently appeared in various royal and charity events in Loang.
After sending Yvette off, Natalie tapped her fingers on the table and pondered over the matter.
Those who had the privilege of attending Prince Jonathan’s birthday banquet were either members of the royal family or prominent figures in the government. Furthermore, women from the royal family would use various ways to showcase their regalness and elegance. Therefore, it would be challenging to design jewelry that would help Helma stand out.
As the saying goes, the bigger the challenge, the greater the rewards.
If she succeeded, she would not only receive high fees but raise Dream Jewelry’s value within a short time frame.
More importantly, she could use Helma’s royal connections to search for the medicine to cure Samuel.
Although the task was challenging, it would amount to killing three birds with one stone if she succeeded.
After Natalie was done considering, she busied herself with work again. She forced herself to work at an even faster rate, hoping to squeeze out some time for her to research ways to neutralize the poison in Samuel’s body.
She kept working even at noon and was so engrossed with work that she was unwilling to stop for lunch. Instead, she took a few bites of the sandwich Lia bought for her and continued working.
Soon, Natalie smelled the delectable fragrance of mushroom soup in the air.
It would be a little troublesome to drink soup as she worked. Thus, Natalie took a few sniffs and said to the person outside her office, “Lia, I have the sandwiches you bought me, so don’t mind me. You can have the mushroom soup!”
However, the person remained near the door and would not leave. Soon, Natalie heard footsteps as the person came to stand before her.
As the person came closer, the smell of the mushroom soup grew stronger.
