Natalie eyed the white T-shirt and jeans Laney was wearing and pursed her lips.

“How about we go shopping? I heard from a colleague that there’s a clothing shop in the mall that’s on sale right now.”

“Why? I have enough clothes already.” Laney was a casual girl. She thought that her outfit was fine. If she ran into some thugs,

it’d be easy for her to deal with them in comfy clothes.

After hesitating slightly, Natalie linked her arm in Laney’s arm and smiled.

“Let’s buy some dresses. My treat. Although you look great, your clothes are too neutral. You should try dressing up some more.

You have such a beautiful face. Don’t waste it.”

Natalie’s bright eyes observed Laney’s facial features. Laney was pretty. She had innocent yet sharp eyes, which made her look

beautiful.

Laney opened her mouth to say something but couldn’t find the words to protest. In the past, when she trained in the

organization, she had always been boyish. Now that she thought about it, Laney realized that she had never really experienced

what normal girls went through-things like shopping and dressing up.

“Fine. Let’s check the store out,” Laney relented with a helpless smile.

But before the two of them could step inside the shopping mall, they were stopped by a man.

“Natalie Quinn?” he asked. The man was well-dressed, and there was a bodyguard standing behind him.

When the man’s eyes landed on Natalie’s face, he smiled inexplicably. Natalie couldn’t help but frown subconsciously.

The man looked extremely arrogant in her eyes.

She didn’t even know who he was, but at a glance, she knew she didn’t like him. Natalie eyed the well-dressed man warily. “And

you are…?’ Ritchie Klein walked over and introduced himself.

“lm Sebastian’s older brother, Ritchie. Would you like to have dinner with me so we can catch up, as a family?”

Natalie hesitated. Sebastian hadn’t told her much about the Klein family. She only knew that they didn’t get along well with him.

Otherwise, she knew nothing about them. Ritchie was being polite enough, but there was something about the arrogance in his

eyes that was off-putting to Natalie.

“I’m sorry, but I have prior commitments tonight. I’m going shopping with my friend.” Natalie forced a smile and refused him

politely. Ritchie’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

Casually tinkering with the ring on his thumb, he said in a low voice, “We’re family now. Won’t you make time for me?” Natalie

lowered her head. She didn’t want to offend him, which would only bring trouble to Sebastian.

Finally, she took a deep breath and said, “Fine.”

“Im coming with you,” Laney immediately said, staring at Ritchie on high alert. But Ritchie raised his hand to stop her.
