Chapter 133

core?” Winnie massaged her aching shoulder. Her brows scrunched up. “I would have to work tirelessly for a few months to get it back on the right path.”Nathaniel, who was sitting beside her, couldn’t help but chuckle after hearing her complaints. He walked up behind her and said, “My dear Vinnie, your massaging technique is awful. Let me show you how it is done professionally.”“You know how to do it?” Winnie was amused.“What’s there to be surprised about?” Nathaniel was confident. “I know a lot of things. Now, shall I?”“No, thank you.” Winnie turned him down with a smile. “I was just asking.”Just as her voice faded out, Nathaniel’s hands were already on her shoulders, and he started professionally massaging her shoulders for her.Winnie was taken by surprise, for she never expected Nathaniel to ignore her rejection.“There’s really no need for that,” Winnie emphasized once more.Right at that instant, a voice sounded outside of the door.“Who are you? Why are you sneaking around the VIP lounge?”“I’m sorry. I suppose you must be an employee of the Garland Group. You’ve got it all wrong. I’m not sneaking around; I’m just trying to look for my contact lens. I accidentally dropped it when I rubbed my eyes.”“Is that so? Do you need my help?”“That would be great! Thank you for being so helpful. I really can’t see with this horrible short-sightedness of mine!”Winnie could not help but furrow her brows when she noticed the movements outside.She turned around and glanced at Nathaniel. “That should be Jasmine, right?”“I think it is. Yes.” Nathaniel nodded.“Let me go have a look. She’s still inexperienced, so she’s easily fooled.” With that said, Winnie stood up, only to be stopped by Nathaniel.“You have a rest. I’ll go.” With that said, Nathaniel swirled around and left.In just a short moment, Nathaniel returned with Jasmine.He took the initiative and explained, “It was nothing much. The person was just looking for her contact lens.”As she was a more attentive and careful person, Winnie asked, “So did the person find her contact lens?”Nathaniel nodded. “Yes. She had it trampled beneath her shoe.”“Good.” Winnie nodded and dismissed it quickly.Little did she know that apart from looking for her contact lens, the person also took a video secretly.The video was about Nathaniel giving Winnie a massage on her shoulders.Meanwhile, there was no seat left vacant in the brightly lit hall.As they were the first and second in command of the Garland Group, both Winnie and Nathaniel were busy attending to their guests.Young and beautiful were the words used to describe Winnie. At the same time, she was a lady who was bold and daring in making decisions, for she turned the entire Garland Group upside down and bent it to her will.Countless people were intrigued by her for what she pulled off recently. With the addition of her dazzling appearance, she was surrounded by people from the start.The crowd was so condensed that it took Jasmine a massive effort just to get to Winnie.“Ms. Garland, Old Mr. Fairchild’s car is just around the corner. He will be arriving in two minutes.” Jasmine reported Rufus’ arrival to Winnie as this was a task Winnie assigned her. Winnie had told her that she wanted to welcome Rufus personally.Now that Rufus was just around the corner, Winnie had to leave the scene.“Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy yourselves while I excuse myself for a minute,” Winnie said to the guests before tilting her head at Nathaniel.At the side, Nathaniel considerately lowered his head after hearing what Winnie said. “What’s wrong?”Winnie gazed up at him a little and replied, “Please take care of everything for me temporarily. I’ll go welcome Old Mr. Fairchild.”Nathaniel bobbed his head. He took the half glass of wine from Winnie and responded, “Leave it to me. You go do what you need.”Meanwhile, the interactions between them did not escape the guests’ eyes.One of the guests, who was considerably much chattier, teased them to liven up the
