Chapter 68 Commanding Her

With the successful collaboration with Apex Global, Natalie’s studio gained some recognition overnight.

Even with Cedric’s influence, the workload for the studio was bound to increase. As long as her uncle Intervened, she wouldn’t have any problems on her end.

Karina fl*pped through her notes and said, “We have a meeting with a client from South City this afternoon.

South City? They had clients from another city overnight?

“Is it because of my uncle’s connections?!”

But then she recalled Cedric’s reaction to her recent actions, Rebecca’s rush to find him a new partner, and Jocelyn’s desperation.

As she pondered the situation, she casually pulled out a nail file.

Then, she mockingly said, “Let’s postpone whatever we have for the evening. After all, I’m still his wife. It Wouldn’t look good if I didn’t go, right?

Her demeanor certainly didn’t match that of a dutiful young relative attending a birthday celebration. She seemed more interested in provoking than showing respect!

Thinking about the recent interactions between Natalie and Cedric, it was clear that they had not been kind to each other. Thought Cedric was acting like scum, Natalie wasn’t any better. Their clashes had been nothing short of entertaining.
