Escape the Billionaire's Grasp

Chapter 15--A Sudden Cold Shoulder

Sebastian suddenly stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow over her. She instinctively took two steps back.

"I have something to attend to, so I'm leaving," he said coldly before directly leaving.

Natalie was stunned for a while. It wasn't until he had reached the door that she reacted and hurriedly asked him, "But these things haven't been packed yet..."

"Bang." The front door had already closed.

Natalie: "..."

So what was she busy doing for half a day?!

—

Natalie didn't sleep well that night. The makeup artist frowned repeatedly while doing her makeup. "Your dark circles... Didn't I tell you to rest well yesterday?"

"I was browsing my phone and didn't pay attention to the time. Sorry about that." Natalie smiled apologetically.

Yesterday, Sebastian suddenly gave her the cold shoulder and left. She didn't know what to do with his items. If she asked again, it would seem like she was driving him away.

After thinking for a bit, she said to Amy, "Help me find a place to live."

"Huh? You want to move?"

She mumbled in response, "I'm not very comfortable living there. I want to change to a different place. Take a look at what's good first."

"Okay, I'll look into it right away."

Soon, the evening gown and jewelry were delivered, personally escorted by James Smith.

"This set of Élysée Diamant jewelry is quite valuable. Be careful with it. You can't afford to lose it."

The gown was a water-green spaghetti strap long dress. It was her first time wearing haute couture. Her long hair was styled into fluffy, big curls cascading over her shoulders, giving off a lazy and charming vibe.

With the jewelry on, what caught people's attention at first glance was still her exquisite face, like a noble, rebellious, and arrogant young lady.

Even the makeup artist couldn't help but exclaim, "You and Élysée Diamant are such a perfect match. The brand will definitely be satisfied."

"I've always said that it's a waste for our Natalie to go down the innocent girl style. When I first selected her, it was because of that spirit she had, which is rare among other actresses. Our Natalie is one of a kind!" James Smith sighed with emotion.

Amy curiously asked, "What spirit?"

"How do I put it? It makes people feel a kind of super strong vitality."

The red carpet before the gala was the main event. This was Natalie's first time walking such a high-profile red carpet. She had been in the limelight recently, and many haters were also keeping an eye out for her mistakes.

But fortunately, she completely pulled off her look today, stunning everyone.

James Smith got the first-hand photos and immediately pushed them onto Twitter's trending topics, letting fans take the lead in complimenting Natalie's beauty and her compatibility with the brand.

Some haters had already paid for trolls from rival companies to nitpick, but unfortunately, Natalie was truly outstanding today. Even passersby were amazed, so the negative comments couldn't stir up much of a wave.

"Oh my god, is this Natalie? Her aura is too good! That swan neck, let me nibble on it!"

"She really went down the wrong path with the sweet and innocent girl style before. She's clearly a dazzling beauty!"

"Not only dazzling but also has a sense of rebellious stubbornness. Who understands?! Jacob is so lucky."

"Can we not mention irrelevant people in Natalie's topic?"

"Mention him, mention him! Jacob's wife is so beautiful, so beautiful!"

"Natalie is Emma herself. Like Emma, she's destined to fall in love with the warm Mark!"

After stepping off the red carpet, Amy draped a small blanket over Natalie and assisted her to attend the gala.

Amy whispered excitedly, "The online reviews are very good. James said the brand is also very satisfied. It seems the spokesperson deal will be secured for you soon!"

Natalie let out a sigh of relief. She had been a bit worried since it was her first time changing her style.

"That's good."

"Don't let your guard down at the gala either. In addition to inviting celebrities, the brand has also invited many upper-class celebrities to this charity gala. Pay attention."

Natalie nodded, estimating that they were from the same circle as Sebastian. But Sebastian never participated in these events.

"Natalie!" Laura Taylor enthusiastically came over and grabbed her hand. "You're here."

Natalie frowned slightly, but there were cameras inside the venue, so she couldn't shake off her hand. She could only smile and respond, "Yeah, just arrived."

"You came at the right time. Let me introduce you to a few friends."

Laura Taylor directly pulled her to one of the tables and sat her down. "This is Miss Johnson. You should know her, right?"
