The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

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.

“I’ll do it. We should avoid getting into conflicts with each other for this project.” between the two of them, Elizabeth felt as if she was caught in the middle of a brewing storm.

She picked up the pen and started to draw. As her hand moved across the page, a sudden burst of pain radiated from her wound. The pen dropped to the ground with a clatter.

Elizabeth crouched down to pick it up. “I’m sorry,” she said awkwardly. “It sl*pped because my grip was a little loose.”

Derek could tell with one glance that Elizabeth was downplaying her injury. It was a deep enough cut that the normal use of her hand was not possible.

“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?”

It took everything in Natalie not to let her fury boil over at the sight of Derek’s triumphant face. Focusing instead on Elizabeth, Natalie held her arm and said, “You don’t look too good. Do you want to go out and take a break?”
