Chapter 512
"Miss Watson, here’s my business card," the middle-aged man slurred, struggling to pull a card from his pocket after having consumed one too many drinks. He was the director of a well-known local export company.
"Mr. Green, hello," Natalie said, taking a step back, discreetly concealing her reluctance to engage in conversation.
"Miss Watson, I’ll be frank. I’ve admired you for a long time.” Mr. Green, unsteady on his feet, attempted to grasp Natalie's hand.
With a frosty demeanor, Natalie retracted her hand, placing it behind her back as she said, "Mr. Green, you’re drunk."
"Mr. Green! Mr. Green, please calm down!" Mr. Green's assistant hurried over to support his boss and offered an apologetic smile to Natalie, saying, "I’m terribly sorry, miss. Our boss here is somewhat drunk, he..."
"I’m not drunk!" Mr. Green insisted, his robust frame easily pushing his slender assistant, "Natalie, my feelings are sincere. I have liked you for so long! Join me, and I promise to provide you with all the resources you need to become a supermodel! I can’t promise you a life as glamorous as Oliver's, but I swear I’ll cherish you!"
Whispers spread through the crowd at the mention of Oliver, eliciting a complex mix of emotions from Natalie.
"Mr. Green! Miss Watson is a married woman, stop this nonsense immediately!" someone protested, covering Mr. Green's mouth.
"Heh, don’t you know?" Mr. Green chuckled, pushing his friend aside and loudly declaring to everyone, "Natalie and Oliver are divorced! Oliver and Natalie are no longer married!"
Mr. Green was deeply smitten with Natalie. With his hands outstretched, he said in a soft and coaxing voice, "Natalie, be with me. I’ll provide you with everything you need. I will not let anyone mistreat you. I will spoil you even more than he did; you’ll be my treasure!"
At the mention of the divorce, Natalie's mind reeled, feeling as though she had fallen into the abyss.
‘Oliver… made it public so quickly?’
She had anticipated that the news would spread quickly and believed she was prepared. However, she did not foresee the intensity of the heartache at this moment. She struggled with the pain for a moment as the man continued to openly express his feelings for her.
Meanwhile, the guests around her buzzed with speculation.
"Natalie and Oliver are divorced? Is that true?"
"Absolutely true! Many in our circle are already aware of it. I was surprised how everyone remained silent today. Not a single gossip until now. I was eager for someone to break the news!"
"What’s so surprising about a divorce? Was Natalie ever in Oliver's league? He was probably playing with her."
"With Natalie's appearance and figure, I wouldn’t mind playing with her either! It’s a pity I lack Mr. Green's courage and boldness."
"I noticed a magazine editor earlier completely ignoring Natalie. It’s evident she has been abandoned by Oliver."
While some were engrossed in discussions about Natalie, others found themselves more intrigued by the possibilities surrounding Oliver's future partner.
"I’m actually curious about which fortunate woman will become the next Mrs. Windsor."
"If only I had a daughter instead of a son. I would have been delighted to match her with Oliver."
"Previously, didn’t everyone think Natalie was extremely lucky to have married Oliver?”
