Chapter 363
“When we were in college, you mentioned that you aspired to be a celebrity agent or a reporter. Does your new job have something to do with those?” Skylar guessed.
Natalie didn’t expect Skylar to guess so accurately and quickly. “I stayed at home after graduation and never worked, so all my resumés were rejected. I had no chance of an interview. But God blesses me! My idol offered me a job!”
“Your idol?*
“Austin Powell. He heard that I was looking for a job and said he happened to need an assistant. His previous assistant had other career plans, so there was a vacancy,” Natalie explained.
When she received Austin’s invitation, she was hesitant. After all, her family didn’t agree with her going to work. They claimed working was exhausting, and Jeremy could afford to support her, so she didn’t have to work.
She also cared about what Jeremy thought of her.
During this period, she was always uneasy. Only after visiting the doctor did she realize the seriousness of the matter. She wanted to get out of the predicament.
So, she accepted Austin’s job offer. It would be wonderful to see her idol perform up close while working!
Natalie was looking forward to it.
Skylar supported Natalie’s decision to change her current situation. She became even more supportive after seeing Natalie’s enthusiasm.
“I’m glad you got a job! Congratulations!”
Natalie appeared pleased. “I’m so excited to think about seeing Austin every day from now on! He’s such a gentleman.”
Skylar joked, “If you weren’t married, I would’ve congratulated you on getting the best chance to pursue Austin.”
Natalie’s smile froze. Acting as if nothing had happened, she explained calmly. “My feelings for Austin are those of an idol and a fan. It will always stay that way! It differs from liking Jeremy. I’ve loved Jeremy since I was a child. It’s just that I don’t know if he still likes me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had let slip something she didn’t want
to disclose.
Skylar glanced at Natalie. “Is there something going on between you and Mr. Hughes?”
The doubts she had suppressed resurfaced. The “Mr. Hughes” she had heard at the hot spring resort reappeared.
Was that person Jeremy?
Natalie had never been emotionally sensitive. But she had been uneasy and wasn’t in a good state of mind. There must be a reason for this situation.
“I can’t tell what was going on. He has been busy and hasn’t spent much time at home in the last month. Even when he went home, he only came back to see me, went to sleep, and returned to work the next day. He was so busy that we didn’t have time to talk properly.
“Especially in the last ten days, he has barely spoken to me or made video calls. I don’t know if I’m too sensitive. I always feel that he doesn’t like or care about me that much. This feeling has been particularly strong recently.”
Natalie spilled the beans and expressed all of her thoughts.
“Perhaps it’s because I’m always at home. I’m bored and overthinking it. He’s just too busy to spend time with me.”
Sure enough, a woman would easily become worried and even begin to doubt herself once her whole world revolved around a man.
Skylar thought it over before asking. “Have you ever gone to the company to find him?”
“Yes, I have, but he’s not at the company. He’s too busy traveling for business and entertaining clients. Even if I go to find him, I’ll only add to his burden and trouble,” Natalie said, sighing.
Suddenly, she pointed at a restaurant not far away. “Well, let’s stop talking about this. I spotted a
Wiscadian restaurant. Jeremy used to take me there. How about we dine at that restaurant rather than the buffet?”
Women were naturally fickle, so Skylar immediately agreed, “Okay, let’s go!
