Chapter 496
Despite her sadness, Natalie found some humor in Brandon.
Was Brandon’s opinion of her that high?
“It is really late. Can you still find people to fly the helicopter and send me to Northcliffe?”
Her smile broadened as she took a big breath.
There was no changing her mind now.
Brandon also flashed a grin.
“The Larson Group is there for you at all times.”
Natalie kissed him on the lips while touching his jaw.
When everything was complete, Natalie phoned Zuri and informed her that W Marks Studio would be on time for the Iridescent Show.
Natalie returned to the entrance of Draco’s ward after seeing to all of this. She was about to enter the room and inform Draco of her final decision.
The nurse intervened and stated, “The visitation period has ended. Just now, Draco received a tranquilizer to put him to sleep. In other words, you can’t go in at the moment.”
Natalie felt compelled to write a message to Draco, which she showed him through the window.
Draco was waiting for Natalie’s reply before going to sleep.
When he saw the desired response, he nodded in relief and fell asleep.
After packing their things, Natalie and Brandon got onto the helicopter.
The propeller rotated in the dark of the night.
The sky was dotted with bright stars.
The moon hung amidst them, high and round, and, to Natalie, seemed to practically be within reach from their vantage point.
But Natalie wasn’t in the right frame of mind to appreciate this breathtaking scenery tonight.
She had been nervous ever since she had made the decision to attend the Iridescent Show.
She looked down at the documents in her hands, reading them over and over again, hoping that this might calm down her nerves.
Just as Natalie concentrated on trying to remember every detail of the designs in front her, she felt a warm feeling around her ears.
Brandon placed a headset over her head.
Natalie instantly took it off and set it aside.
“Brandon, I’m not in the mood right now. I haven’t memorized enough documents yet.”
Natalie had actually read all the documents before and she had thought the whole thing was quite easy.
That was simply because Draco had been taking care of everything and she didn’t have much to worry as his assistant.
But now that Draco couldn’t go with her, it wasn’t easy to deal with all of this on her own.
Natalie could now see Draco had made so many preparations for the Iridescent Show.
Years of hard work on the part of a designer were all condensed into a one-hour fashion show.
For Draco”s sake, she just had to make sure that everything would be perfect.
“How can you remember any information when you’re this tense?”
Brandon said to Natalie, “Why don’t you take a look at the beautiful scenery around us and relax yourself? There’s only half an hour left before we’ll be above Northcliffe. There is a large lavender field in Northcliffe. The scenery is beautiful.”
“But I can’t take the time to appreciate it right now!”
In time it would take to gaze at the view, Natalie felt she could have gone over at least two more documents.
Brandon grabbed the papers from Natalie’s hand and blocked them from her.
“You can enjoy the view now.”
Angrily glaring at him, Natalie asked, “What are you doing, Brandon?”
Why did Brandon want to piss her off, now of all times? Why was Brandon being so thoughtless?! Brandon approached her and grasped her chin, saying, “I’ll help you relax.”
A moment later, Brandon leaned in and kissed Natalie.
The sound of the propeller continued thrumming in their ears.
Brandon darted his tongue into Natalie’s mouth, teasing the tip of her tongue. He slid his hand from her chin around to the back of her head and drew them even closer.
Moaning, the two of them kissed passionately.
Brandon slowly let Natalie go and guided her gaze to the window.
“Look.”
The helicopter had arrived at Northcliffe.
Natalie saw a sea of clouds.
The sun was slowly rising in the East. Its light broke through the clouds, warm and magnificent.
Natalie saw the shape of the light as it grew.
Sunbeams pierced the clouds, one after another.
The breathtaking sight captured her attention completely. She couldn’t take her eyes off of it.
The helicopter landed slowly on a lawn outside the venue of the Iridescent Show, causing a sensation.
Many people came over to watch it descend.
“Wow! This is the first time I’ve ever seen a guest come here by a helicopter!”
“It’s so cool!”
