The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 194

Ophelia took one glance at the gown and could already imagine how stunning and elegant it would look on someone.

But this gown—was it meant for Emma? It looked like it was designed with a "Flux Couture" theme in mind.

"Boss, is this for Emma?"

"Yeah, the 'Flux Couture' collection is missing three designs. I've handed them all over to you."

Natalie slung her small handbag over her shoulder and stood up. "There's only a week left until the Walkers' welcome party. This week, don't bother me with anything here. You handle it."

"Got it," Ophelia agreed quickly. She carefully put away the design sketches. Ophelia had to prepare soon since Charlotte was about to arrive, and she needed to make sure everything was ready to welcome her.

Natalie took the CEO's private elevator down to the lobby just as Charlotte arrived on the top floor using the regular one.

After missing Charlotte by moments, Natalie sent a message to Connie to check in on Charles' condition. He was doing much better under her care.

The last time she'd asked Marcus to take Charles to the hospital for a scan, the results had been shocking. The tumor had shrunk significantly, and the doctors were in disbelief. The tumor wasn't only smaller but showed signs of being absorbed into the body.

The attending doctors had bombarded Marcus with questions, desperate to know who was responsible for the miraculous treatment. But Marcus, of course, didn't say a word.

At this rate, Natalie estimated that her treatment plan would completely rid Charles of the tumor within three months. Once it was gone, she could leave the rest of his recovery to Connie and wouldn't need to stay at the Holden Residence anymore.

Leaving the Nouvelle Zara headquarters, Natalie got into her car and drove off. She had arranged to meet Walter Watson and discuss their plans for the business expansion in Dithoria State.

Back in Dithoria, Walter was lounging under a sunshade, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, sipping on an ice-cold soda at Silver Coast Beach.

When he saw Natalie arrive, he stood up and waved at her.

Natalie smiled as she walked over. Their lives had been so much brighter since leaving Langley Group. Without the endless work drama or Selena's constant antics, everything felt easier and more peaceful.

Natalie soon joined Walter under the shade. He handed her an ice-cold soda, already prepared with a straw.

"Guess who called me?" Walter said, grinning. "It was Grace. She said the place is a complete mess without you."

Walter leaned back, clearly enjoying himself. "Mrs. Langley Senior held a board meeting the morning after she returned, but guess what happened?"

Natalie thought for a moment, then smirked. "Let me guess—Selena threw a tantrum, brought up how Mr. Zeller spat in her face and then blackmailed him into handing over his shares."

Walter laughed out loud. "You've got cameras in their boardroom, don't you? How are you this spot-on?"

"I don't need cameras," Natalie said, sipping her soda with a smile. "I know Selena too well."

For years, Natalie had worked behind the scenes at Langley Group, handling mess after mess caused by Victor. She'd often let him think he was the one solving problems to protect his ego, even when she had to clean up every disaster he left in his wake.

Those years were exhausting, and she'd never been truly happy at Langley Group. But now, she could enjoy moments like this—sitting on the beach, chatting with Walter, and sipping a soda without a care in the world.

"Apparently, Mr. Zeller was so mad he smashed a glass in the middle of the meeting. And then Selena stormed off to the rooftop, threatening to jump," Walter continued. "Mrs. Langley Senior was so enraged her face twisted in anger, and her heart acted up so badly she ended up in the hospital."
