Chapter 59 Not Surprising
Her action was totally out of Shawn’s expectations.
He truly believed that Natalie had a face full of freckles.
Thus, he was amazed when she revealed her real face after removing the hyper-realistic mask.
Her face beneath the mask was flawless. It was so fair and smooth that no pores could be seen.
Contrary to the flat nose and shapeless lips on her mask, she had a tall nose and cherry-colored lips that were exquisite-looking.
Even without comparison to the hyper-realistic mask, her face could be described as perfect on its own.
“You…”
Natalie turned and glanced at him lazily after hearing him gasp.
“You must be surprised.” Natalie played with the hyper-realistic mask in her hand. “My expression was similar to yours when I first obtained this mask. However, this mask still has its drawbacks. Although it’s waterproof, it will wrinkle when met with slightly warm water, making it uncomfortable to wear.”
Shawn’s eyes were firmly drawn to her face. In fact, he found it hard to look away.
“Why do you wear such an ugly mask when you’re this good-looking?”
“There are countless people who want me dead.” Natalie wiped her face with the tissue and stated nonchalantly, “I would be a living target if I walked around with my real face.”
This woman is only in her twenties, yet she speaks and behaves in an old-fashioned manner. A girl of her age should be living a carefree life, but she is being so cautious about everything.
Shawn did not know what he should say to her. However, his heart skipped a beat and began pounding involuntarily when he glanced at her beautiful face.
Soon after, he drove Natalie to one of the research laboratories under Dream Pharmaceutical.
Natalie scanned her fingerprint to open the door and took out two bottles of medicine from her special compartment.
“Here. Let him take one red pill and three white pills at a time. Make sure he avoids spicy food, seafood, and alcohol.”
Shawn took the bottles and looked at Natalie, who had worn her hyper-realistic mask again.
After seeing her real appearance, he no longer found her freckled-face ugly. On the contrary, he found it inexplicably adorable.
Unexpectedly, Shawn liked the fact that no one else had seen Natalie’s real face. It felt as if her beautiful face belonged to him solely.
Natalie waved her hand in front of his face. “Shawn, do you understand what I’ve said?”
“Yes.”
As she rarely stayed in the research laboratory, she left along with Shawn.
“I know that Dream Pharmaceutical is growing rapidly nowadays. What’s your relationship with this group?” Shawn inquired hesitantly.
“The CEO is my friend. He knows that I like to tinker with medicine, so he gave me special permission to use the research laboratories under Dream Pharmaceutical.”
Natalie only considered Shawn as a client, so she chose to hold back on some information.
“I’ll walk you downstairs.”
“Okay.”
They soon arrived downstairs.
Natalie smiled at him. “I’ll visit the Watsons manor in three days. If there’s nothing else, I think it’s time for us to say goodbye.”
Shawn felt a little reluctant to leave, so he continued to find a topic. “It’s already evening. Why don’t I treat you to a meal?”
“No need.”
“Why?”
“There’s someone making dinner at home. He’ll be angry if I don’t come home for dinner.”
“Next time, then.”
Shawn had no reason to make her stay any longer, so he could only watch as Natalie faded from his sight.
Meanwhile, a Hummer was parked by the research laboratory.
Samuel was sitting in the back, looking at the lone Shawn. His eyes flickered, and his lips curled up into a smirk.
Billy recognized him and remarked, “Sir, isn’t that Shawn Watsons, the precious grandson of Old Mr. Watsons?”
“That’s right.” Samuel’s tone was emotionless.
“Do they know each other? He’s staring at Ms. Nichols’ back. Did Ms. Nichols perhaps leave him behind?” As Billy pondered, he could not help but say it out loud.
Although Billy knew that Natalie was not ordinary, he felt more impressed after witnessing her behavior with his own eyes again.
“That’s not surprising,” Samuel said slowly as he rested a finger under his lips.
“That woman dares to reject even me, let alone Shawn, who hasn’t fully matured.”
Seeing how she rejected other men bluntly, Samuel felt that the woman he had his eye on was indeed exceptional.
Billy, on the other hand, was confused as to why the woman with freckles all over her face was courted by many. Although rich men have various preferences for women, they should at least be pretty, right?
“Sir, where do we go next?”
“To keep watch.”
