“Mr. Harding, that’s not—’” Natalie started to protest. But Garrett raised his hand to show that he didn’t need any explanation from Natalie. Knowing that Emani was just going to speak ill of Natalie, he played dumb. “Natalie is still young and inexperienced. Emani, even you used to be like that before. Now you’re matured and much experienced. Why can’t you be more tolerant of our new employee?”

Emani was infuriated by his words. She pointed at Natalie and said in a shrill voice, “Mr. Harding, you don’t know what happened.

She wore a dress similar to mine, but your designer had the audacity to ask me to change my dress!”

Emani jutted her chin out arrogantly. She was a popular star now. Natalie was below her. Now that she had explained what had happened to Garrett, she thought that he would finally take her side and put Natalie in her place.

Sipping his champagne, Garrett looked Emani’s dress up and down.

‘I think the dress you were wearing earlier didn’t suit you. You look much better in this one.” .

Emani was dumbfounded. She never expected that she would hear such a thing from Garrett. Everyone in the circle knew that Garrett was a smooth operator. He had always been gentle and privy to women. While Garrett hadn’t blatantly insulted Emani, it was still obvious that he was on Natalie’s side.

As far as Emani could think, there seemed to be only one possibility as to why Garrett was protective of Natalie. Natalie was either his girlfriend, or he was planning to ask her out.

Thinking of it, Emani couldn’t help but glance at Natalie’s dress again.

Garrett was famous for his generosity. She wondered if the dress was his gift to Natalie.

Emani then turned to look at Natalie. She was indeed a beautiful woman, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if Garrett liked her

“You’re right, Mr. Harding.” She forced a smile at Natalie, her eyes no longer domineering as before. She looked calm and composed even though she wasn’t happy about it. “This dress does look better on you than it did on me, Miss Quinn.”
