Chapter 43
Natalie wanted to go back to the apartment by hailing a taxi because she was carrying a heavy luggage bag. However, she recalled that she needed to pay Brayden after meeting him. Therefore, she decided not to spend money unnecessarily and boarded a bus on the way back.
She held the shabby bag with one hand while holding onto the handrail with her other. She looked sad and pitiful.
Occasionally, the other passengers would glance at Natalie and laugh at her.
Who would even carry such a shabby and old-fashioned luggage bag with only two wheels these days?
Natalie ignored the smirks from the others.
She had been bullied all her life and she mastered the art of shutting her eyes and ears to people who made fun of her.
Natalie arrived at the gate of Themyscira Apartment when she was stopped.
The security guard of Themyscira Apartment blocked her path.
"We don't have anything to recycle here." The security guard glanced at Natalie up and down. He thought that the waste collectors were getting younger.
However, Natalie, who always got her own way, now blushed. She replied, "I'm not collecting any rubbish. I live here."
The security guard eyed Natalie suspiciously.
Natalie took out an access card from her pocket and added, "Look."
The residents of Themyscira Apartment used access cards to enter their houses. The security guard put on a smile swiftly and answered, "Sorry, excuse me for my rudeness."
Natalie strode in with her head held high and dragged the old-fashioned bag behind her.
The security guard scolded himself for being shallow. Did he not hear that a popular brand had come up with a new old-fashioned luggage bag? It seemed like wealthy people were really following the trend.
After settling down in the apartment, Natalie's mind raced as she tried to think of a way to collect Brayden's money.
She had over ten thousand dollars in her savings currently. It was her emergency fund for a rainy day. Madison would never spare her a penny.
She had no choice but to give her emergency fund to Brayden.
Natalie, who did not have any savings, was flustered. She wanted to save more money but she had not gotten any replies after sending her resumes to several companies.
After staying at home for a few days, someone finally called her. It turned out to be her previous boss from the bar where she used to sell alcohol. "Natalie, I haven't seen you in a while. The business is booming lately. Are you sure you don't want to come?" the boss tempted Natalie.
After pondering about it, Natalie agreed to his offer.
However, she decided to dress up so terribly that no man would try to drug her.
She fished out her mobile phone to search for 'clothes that made women unattractive to men'.
One of the answers to her search was 'fishnet stockings'.
The answer described fishnet stockings as something repulsive that would annoy men. Men would lose their interest the moment they set their eyes on women with fishnet stockings.
Natalie thought for a moment and felt that the explanation made sense. After all, she was disgusted every time she spotted a woman with fishnet stockings.
However, she believed that it would be embarrassing for her to purchase it in the store personally. Therefore, Natalie decided to order it online.
She picked express delivery to ensure that it would arrive at her place on the same day.
Like what the seller promised, the parcel was delivered to her in the evening.
Natalie took out the fishnet stockings and tried them on. She pulled on her red wig and dressed up before heading out.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Aunt Lee downstairs. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Bye, Aunt Lee." She darted away frantically.
Aunt Lee was astonished when she noticed Natalie's attire. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
She recalled that Mr. Whitlock was about to arrive at the airport and would arrive at Themyscira Apartment shortly.
Did Natalie dress up like that to pick up Mr. Whitlock?
Aunt Lee shook her head. She did not expect Mr. Whitlock to have such unique tastes.
A huge private plane landed at Agaphen City's airport slowly with a whistling sound.
A towering and slender figure appeared at the door of the aircraft. He was tall and his face was flawless.
