Chapter 280 If You Won't Leave, I Will!
"This way to your seat please," an assistant said to the tall man behind him.
Even with sunglasses on, Natalie still recognized the man at first glance. He was Joseph, the country's top male supermodel.
With wheat-colored skin and masculine features, he exuded absolute sophistication, making him a darling of several luxury brands. He possessed an inherent sense of nobility, fitting for a male model.
"If all goes well, we should finish filming today and return home the same day. You’ll have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you’ll join the team to record the variety show. You…" Emily stopped mid-sentence when she noticed Natalie's peculiar gaze. She followed Natalie's line of sight and locked eyes with Joseph, who had taken off his sunglasses.
After a moment, Emily averted her gaze and continued discussing the schedule and today's points of attention with Natalie.
Joseph casually spun his sunglasses on his fingertips and chuckled mockingly before taking his seat.
…
After the plane took off, Emily closed her eyes.
Natalie noticed that Joseph intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Emily several times, as if he wanted to say something but was holding back.
Lilian, among all the first-class passengers, seemed very unhappy.
"What's wrong with you?" Sophia, who had been upgraded to the first-class cabin, asked Lilian nonchalantly.
"I'm the shortest one here. Standing next to all of you makes me feel even shorter. Why did I become a model's assistant?" Lilian became increasingly unhappy as she thought about it.
Sophia glanced at her and thought, ‘You’re speaking so facts, so I have no words to comfort you.’
…
Even when they disembarked and went their separate ways, Emily and Joseph did not exchange a single word.
"Emily, what’s the story between you and Joseph?"
Natalie had been curious about this but did not ask before because she was not close enough to Emily. However, after two months of getting to know her, Natalie realized that Emily might appear stern on the surface but was actually sensitive and gentle at heart.
"We used to be good friends," Emily responded, not elaborating further.
Natalie lowered her gaze, unable to hide the disappointment on her face.
Upon seeing this, Emily added, "It’s not the messy relationship that the outside world portrays it to be. I have a fiancé."
If it were not for all those rumors from the outside world, she would be able to be friends with Joseph now.
…
The shoot for BAZAAR continued to showcase Natalie's talent.
They chose classical fiery red lips and a black crown for Natalie, along with a deep V fishtail black gown. From the styling to the makeup, everything exuded the Black Swan's aesthetic; it was elegant and noble. The contrast of her delicate and soft features only made it better, making the stylist feel delighted.
Both photoshoots and runway shows were Natalie's strengths in the field.
The expected three hours of work were completed in just two hours, leaving the team very pleased, and they decided to celebrate with a meal.
But it was still afternoon, too early for dinner, so the team opted for lunch.
Everyone had initially thought that Mrs. Windsor would be aloof and snobbish. Unexpectedly, she was approachable, gentle, and likable, which greatly increased their fondness for her.
Little did Natalie know that she had unknowingly gained a wave of fans in her line of work.
…
Just two days before the recording of Fun Challenge, a big event occurred.
Jane's Aurora series of photos won the prestigious Dargel Prize this year, solidifying her fame throughout the city.
Before Natalie could even congratulate her, hate comments appeared online.
[With Jane's background, how could she possibly suffer in Alaska? Most likely, she stole someone else's work.]
[I heard there were a total of 137 people, and the majority gave up halfway. How could Jane endure what others could not? I’m skeptical.]
[Some people are always arrogant, lacking self-awareness regardless of the situation. Does she still think she has someone to bail her out?]
[Jane, it’s shameful to steal someone's work!]
[I am just waiting for these hate comments to be removed, hahaha!]
However, this time, these comments were not removed, causing a whole day of controversy and a lingering aftermath.
…
Natalie called Jane, suggesting that the organizers and her mentor step forward to provide proof.
"What’s the point of proving anything? It’s unnecessary to waste time on those who envy me. They can make noise all they want, but my honor will still remain."
Jane possessed a strong mentality and a clear conscience, beyond those of ordinary people.
After ending the call, Jane saw a man entering her home uninvited.
After returning from Alaska, Jane thought that Anthony would be angry with her, but she discovered that he had actually moved into her house! Living in her house, sleeping in her bed, and using her kitchen utensils!
Anthony sat on Jane's sofa, leisurely picked up a cup, and took a sip of water.
"Mr. Clark, you f*cking break into my house and drink my homemade fruit tea from my cup, isn’t that a bit too much?" Jane frowned.
Anthony glanced at Jane, almost stopping her from cursing.
‘When she’s outside, she’s noble and cold, but privately, if someone angers her, she can effortlessly curse like a sailor…’
"Weren’t you avoiding me? I’d like to see you keep trying,” Anthony said sarcastically.
Jane had stayed in a hotel for the past few days after discovering that Anthony had moved into her home, but staying in a hotel was not a long-term solution. What infuriated her the most was that she could not even stay in her own apartment, and she could not get rid of this troublesome person!
"Okay, if you won’t leave, I will!"
Jane did not bother to pack her things. When she reached the entrance, she paused, her voice cold as she said, "Anthony, I know you were the one who deleted the hate comments and defended me in the past. Now, you’re intentionally leaving them there. Did you think to use this to threaten me? Let me tell you, it’s useless. I can still thrive without you!”
Did he want her to continue loving him as she did before? He was simply delusional! Only if she were crazy would she continue to love him!
Some people were spoiled, accustomed to the feeling of being loved. Did he take her love for granted?
Perhaps if someone had posed these questions to Anthony, he would not have the answers as well.
Anthony also believed that Jane had completely messed up his previously pure and passionate feelings. He had endured it for two years, and after seeing her again, he could not bear to stay away. Hearing about her blind date just made him furious. He had loved her deeply. How could she love someone else? Were those men worthy of her?
…
The guests for Fun Challenge were never publicly announced, only mentioning that people from the fashion industry and entertainment industry would be selected.
Natalie arrived early at Sense University because she had a mandatory class in the morning.
In hindsight, it was really unfortunate!
