The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 535

Chapter 535

“You…” A hint of coldness was beginning to turn Natalie’s gaze into an icy glare. She was about to snap at Derek when Elizabeth stopped her.

“Miss Perry, you’ve hurt your hand badly. I can’t trust a designer who can’t even hold a pen right.”

He turned to look at Natalie with a smug smile. “This is why I said I was choosing you. Any more objections?”
