Chapter 498
“I understand that you want to go to the show” said the man as he put one of his hands in the pocket of his suit pants.
Natalie looked at the man, still confused.
So, she asked him, “Are you one of the models here?”
Glancing at the male agent standing next to him, the man cracked a small smile.
Raising an eyebrow, he said, “I am a model, yes. But I will not be walking down the runway this time. Nonetheless, I was also invited as a guest to attend the show. My name is Derek. Derek Ramsey. I’m a world-class model.”
Natalie’s mouth twitched slightly.
What an arrogant man!
A world-class model? Too bad, she didn’t know him.
Startled by his arrogance, Natalie turned around to leave.
Again, Derek stopped her.
“Hey, don’t go. You haven’t answered my question yet.”
“So, what is it?” Natalie asked anxiously.
“I have something urgent to deal with. Please get to the point immediately!”
“Are you really here to represent Draco Wesley?” asked Derek.
Meanwhile, his agent was staring at Natalie with suspicion.
Natalie nodded.
Still, she had no idea what the two were up to.
Derek’s jaw twitched a little.
He looked intently at Natalie.
This woman had a beautiful face Although her features weren’t particularly attractive, her icy demeanor set her out from the others. He liked the woman.
She was his type.
“Do you want to come with us?” Derek asked her promptly.
“We are going inside to see the show.”
His skepticism regarding the real identity of this stunning woman was allayed by her beauty.
Natalie gaped in awe as she observed him. She then nodded in agreement and said, “That’s great. Thank you.”
Her top priority now was to find Zuri.
She had to know from Zuri herself why their show was cancelled.
The three of them went to the door.
Seeing Natalie, the security guards refused their entry.
His smile fading, Derek said icily.
“She’s with me. I’ll take the responsibility if anything goes wrong. My face is the pass to this show.”
Natalie was a bit nervous and afraid that wouldn’t work”
The security guard seemed to have recognized Derek.
He complained to him helplessly, “If anything goes wrong, you’re the one who’s taking the blame!”
Then he let the three of them in.
Natalie followed them into the venue.
The interior was luxuriously decorated in a spring theme.
The theme of this year’s Iridescent Show was spring and summer, and the scene before them conjured up the image of a beautiful lakeside spot in the late spring.
The organizers had woven in artificial grass and reeds to bolster the theme.
The Iridescent Show’s themed perfume hung in the air, enhancing the illusion for people that they were outdoors in nature.
Derek’s eyes were fixed upon Natalie. He was intrigued by this beautiful designer who had suddenly appeared before him. He privately began to guess her age.
Was she 20? That should be close.
“What are you looking for? The place is huge. It’s easy to get lost in here. Let me help you.”
Derek offered his assistance when he noticed Natalie looking around, as if she was searching for something. But Natalie ignored Derek and instead ran towards the backstage. She had gone over the layout of the venue with Draco many times before and was very familiar with the whole venue.
Derek clicked his tongue and felt a bit lame.
What was going on? She seemed more familiar with this place than he did! As soon as Natalie reached the backstage, she began to look for Zuri, even though she hadn’t met her before.
Fortunately, everyone wore a name tag pinned to the front of their clothes.
But after searching for a long time, she still couldn’t find Zuri.
“Excuse me… Do you know where Zuri is?”
Natalie had no choice but to check their name tags one by one carefully and ask them about Zuri’s whereabouts. But people started to take offense at her behavior.
“What is she doing? Who is this woman?”
“Everyone is very busy. Can you please stop making trouble?”
“Call security! Get this crazy woman out of here!”
This entire time, Derek had been following Natalie. He kept apologizing to everyone on her behalf.
“Sorry, sorry.”
