With a frown, Natalie clenched her fists and said unhappily, “I wasn’t trying to…”

As soon as she spoke, Draco looked over and their eyes met. Suddenly, the light of the crystal chandelier seemed to become brighter. Draco’’s eyes lit up and a smile stretched across his handsome face.

“Sorry, everyone. Excuse me.” With an apologetic smile, he walked through the crowd and made a beeline towards Natalie.

Draco stood in front of Natalie. He was much taller than she had expected, and had a rather affable expression, though it didn’t make him any less manly.

“Excuse me, Miss. Are you Natalie Quinn, the designer who participated in the first show of Seacisco Fashion Week?”

He had to duck his head slightly as he spoke to her, if only to avoid looking arrogant and self-important. He was so tall that Natalie seemed petite beside him, despite her average height. She flushed at his question, both surprised and embarrassed.

“You’re right, Mr. Wesley. But Quinn is no longer my last name by now.”

Draco’s face broke into a smile, his eyes curving into tiny rainbows.

‘I see. I finally get to meet you, Miss White. You’re a lot cuter than I imagined.”

“What do you mean, Mr. Wesley?” Natalie asked, visibly confused.

“You see, I paid close attention to your designs at the Seacisco Fashion Week. I really liked them, but for some reason, they were suddenly removed from the selection. I was abroad at the time, so I naturally had no idea what went down. A friend told me later that you were involved in a plagiarism scandal. How did it go, by the way? Has the matter been solved?” Natalie tilted her head curiously.

“I wonder, Mr. Wesley, why aren’t you asking me whether I did plagiarize another designer’s work or not?”
