The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Elizabeth seemed guilty when she saw Natalie and explained, “Jorge is doing much better now. He even brought me to work.” Jorge scratched the back of his head and smiled apologetically at Natalie. “I’m sorry. I was in a bad mood due to my withdrawals. And as for what happened with Elizabeth, I sincerely apologized to her. I won’t lose control again, and I will definitely appreciate her from now on.”

Draco waved dismissively and placed the glass on the table. “I’m fine, but what about you? You seemed quite distracted just now,” he remarked, looking at her intently.

Draco retreated to his office, leaving Natalie to eagerly anticipate the arrival of

not even bothering to acknowledge Dolores’ presence. Natalie found this behavior peculiar and soon realized that everyone seemed to have a good rapport with Dolores, except for

two years, and then he felt she was capable enough to work independently as a designer.
