Natalie tried to keep her anger under wraps, and said, ‘I wouldn’t dare to try and shut you up.Since you want to talk, why don’t we discuss work? I have encountered some problems in the design of this dress, and you obviously have a lot of experience in making dresses.Laney’s dress needs to be adjusted.Can I discuss it with you in private?’
Dalores was afraid of Natalie and her bodyguard, but when she heard that Natalie wanted to consult her in private for advice, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Since the bodyguard and the other colleagues wouldn’t be there, it would be fine.
If it were just to be Natalie and Dalores discussing this in private, Dalores felt she had nothing to fear.
Raising her eyebrows, Dalores smiled, ‘No problem.You really should consult me.You don’t know many things about design, really’
Laney pulled Natalie aside.She was afraid a conflict would ensue between Natalie and a Dalores and she would be the cause of it, so she whispered in Natalie’s ear, ‘I’m fine.You don’t have to argue with her.lt’s not worth it to make a big scene’
Patting the back of Laney’s hand, Natalie gave Laney a propitiatory smile and said, ‘Don’t worry.l know exactly what I’m doing.Leave it to me.I’ll handle it with due diligence’ Natalie had been bullied when she was a child.Laney was the first one who helped her, so naturally she didn’t want to see Laney being bullied, especially since Laney now couldn’t defend herself and fight back.Then they walked into the workroom for dress modification.
‘Tell me, what do you want to consult me about?’
Sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, Dalores grabbed some snacks from the workroom table top and ate them happily.
I’ve seen the design drawing.There are many places on the garment that need to be modified.The design shows inexperience!’ She began to preach in a patronizing manner.With an expressionless face, Natalie closed the door and locked it behind her. Hearing the sound of lock clicking, Dalores frowned, puzzled.However, Natalie didn’t bring anyone in.
There were only the two of them here.
Dalores wasn’t afraid at all.
‘I am particularly fond of this workroom’ she said evenly.Then Natalie turned around and walked slowly towards Dalores.
In a light voice, she said, ‘There is no closed circuit camera monitoring in this room.Besides, there are many mannequins.It’s difficult to see what’s going on in the room from the outside’
While chewing. Dalores glanced at Natalie’s slender, rather weak limbs.
‘It seems that consulting me is not your real purpose here.You want to stick up for Laney, don’t you? I didn’t say anything wrong.She married into the Harding family only because she is pregnant’ Natalie was too thin, so Dalores was sure that Natalie wouldn’t be a match for her at all.
It seemed that Natalie was asking for trouble by locking her in.
After wiping the crumbs on her lips. Dalores stood up and smiled, ‘You can’t protect yourself well when you leave that burly bodyguard outside. You’d better not get too arrogant in front of me.You know there isn’t a camera here
With nothing but indifference on her face, Natalie leaned against the table and asked, ‘What can I do to make you stop? I have shown enough respect to you!’
Dalores snorted.
She was insulted by Natalie’s condescending tone as she negotiated with her.
After casually throwing the snacks away, she rolled up her sleeves as if she was going to beat Natalie.
‘Watch your tone! I never really liked your guts’
There was no one around and no camera to catch her, so Dalores wasn’t afraid.
Therefore, she could hurt Natalie and no one would ever know about it.
Just as Dalores was about to make a move, she was suddenly slapped on her left cheek.
Taken aback, Dalores covered her numbing face and tried to look straight.
However, another slap was given on her right cheek.
Dalores was nearly knocked out by the force of the two slaps.
‘Natalie! How dare you slap me?’
To alleviate the pain, Dalores clenched her teeth.Her cheeks were now swollen and flushed.She raised her hand to fight back.
Dalores believed that Natalie was a weakling who was nothing without her bodyguards around.
If they fought one on one, Natalie was absolutely no match for her.
Surprisingly, the latter was able to stop Dalores’ hand which was about to hit her without difficulty.
‘Fuck you, bitch!’
It hurt so much that Dalores had to take a few deep breaths.She was too stunned to react when Natalie seized her leg and shoved her down hard.
By placing her knee on Dalores’ back, Natalie had full control over her.
‘Answer me, What can I do to stop you?’
As she spoke, Natalie pressed Dalores down on the ground.
The rage Dalores felt twisted her features.She couldn’t accept that Natalie was so strong to even press her face to the ground.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t stand up.So she screamed, ‘Let go of me first! And then we’ll talk’ It turned out that the self-defense skills Laney taught Natalie had finally become handy when she now used it on Dalores.
‘Talk? But I think it’s pointless to talk to people like you’
Natalie’s voice was dripping with sarcasm.
Realizing that she had read what was on her mind, Dalores was even more furious.
‘Let go of me right now! This is in the studio!’ With narrowed eyes, Natalie gave Dalores a hard poke on the forehead.
‘Don’t think too highly of yourself.l can handle you without my bodyguard’
Then she let go of Dalores and straightened up.
In excruciating pain, Dalores struggled to get up.She licked her lips and tasted metal in them.
Looking at her swollen face, Natalie said, ‘The two slaps were for Elizabeth and Laney.The next time you cause them trouble, I’ll show you what else I can do’ Frightened. Dalores subconsciously took a few steps back and held her breath.
At this moment, she felt that the Natalie in front of her was different.
Her expression and aura were terrifying.
In any case, Dalores had no intention of giving up without a fight.
She looked at the closed door and then stood up to ram into Natalie.
The next moment, she threw all the mannequins she saw towards Natalie.
There were more than ten mannequins coming her way.
What could she do? At this critical moment, a hand reached out and pulled Natalie aside.
That was so close! Luckily, she was saved.
When Natalie looked at the person who saved her, she was surprised.
‘Mr.Wesley?’ Hearing Natalie’s voice, Dalores looked back and saw the man standing behind a pile of mannequins.
It was Draco Wesley, the CEO of W Marks Studio.
