Brandon’s hot breath fell on Natalie’s forehead,his gaze flirtatious and intense.
“Hmm?”Seeing her silence,he lifted her chin with his long finger,forcing her to meet his gaze,and said,”What will be my compensation for modeling for you?”
Knowing that Brandon was flirting on purpose, Natalie was ashamed and angry.She glared at him, gritting her teeth,and asked,”What compensation do you want?’
Brandon’s eyes lit up,and his lips curved into a devilish smile.”I’ve booked a suite at the famous hotel here …”
Natalie stared at him in disbelief as he leaned forward and continued,”Just serve me well tonight,for that’s the reward I want.”
Her cheeks turned redder,and the flush spread from her cheeks to her forehead.She seemed to have a fever,completely immersed in the hot and suggestive atmosphere.
“What’s wrong?Are you scared?”Noticing her shyness,Brandon laughed more joyously.
Facing his seduction,Natalie glared at him in frustration and punched him in the chest.”It depends on your performance.If you perform well, I will be more than willing to compensate you.But if you don’t …”
Her eyes revealed a hint of threat as she added, “You’ll regret it!”
She was like an angry little kitten with fluffy fur.
But instead of threatening Brandon,it amused him even more.
“Then you wait and see.”Taking a deep breath at the sulking woman before him,he led her out of the fitting room.
Backstage,as the designer before her finished showcasing the designs,Natalie blushed and jolted to reality.
Brandon’s heart leaped with joy when he saw how cute she was when shy.He wasn’t even feeling a hint of nervousness about the upcoming show.
“Honey,it seems like you’re really looking forward to what’s going to happen tonight,huh?It’s almost our turn,”Brandon whispered teasingly in her ear. Natalie rolled her eyes at him before turning her attention back to the runway.
The models walked skillfully and professionally, showing their dresses on their way back.
Their catwalk felt like a beating on Natalie’s heart. As they got closer,she felt a wave of nervousness crash over her.
She tightly held Brandon’s hand,her palm sweating.
Brandon noticed her worried expression and was about to say something to comfort her when she said,”Don’t be nervous on the stage.Just relax, okay?”
Chuckling,he lightly tapped her nose and said,”I wonder who’s the nervous one.”
Natalie retorted,”I’m not nervous at all!I’m a professional designer,and my job is already done. You’re the one who needs to be careful not to mess up the show because of your nerves!”
Brandon smiled at her stubbornness and said, “Okay,okay,you’re not nervous.But instead of worrying about me,you should worry about whether you can handle tonight.”
“Brandon,don’t talk nonsense in public!I won’t talk to you if you say such things in public again!” Natalie hissed and pinched him secretly before stamping her foot in anger.
She didn’t realize that she had inadvertently raised her voice,attracting the attention of those nearby, but once she did,she quickly covered her mouth and blinked innocently before she stared at Brandon indignantly.
The playful banter helped ease the tension in
Natalie’s heart,even though she did not realize it.
As the preceding designer’s models finished their performance,it was Brandon’s turn to take to the runway
Natalie gulped nervously before putting her thumbs up to Brandon and saying,”Go for it!”
“Don’t wory,”Brandon replied with a confident smile.
Taking a deep breath,Natalie nodded as she watched Brandon walk up the runway.
Though he was not a professional model,his physique and looks were so exceptional that he was certainly comparable to a top model. Especially in the black suit designed by Natalie,his intoxicatingly charming aura burst out,surpassing most of the models present.
The moment Brandon stepped on the runway,he was welcomed with a roar of applause and cheer. “Oh my god!Who’s this model?Ive never seen him before!He’s so attractive!”
was welcomed with a roar of applause and cheer. “Oh my god!Who’s this model?I’ve never seen him before!He’s so attractive!”
“Is he a newbie?He’s even surpassed the other supermodels here!So dapper!”
“That suit he’s wearing is exquisite!It perfectly accentuates his handsome features!”
“Quick,find out which designer made that suit,I want her to design my clothes!”
The audience showered Brandon with cheers and praises,but heremained impassive and composed, maintaining his manly gait as he walked the runway.He seemed skilled and not like someone walking the runway for the first time in their life.
Natalie was both satisfied and surprised by her husband’s excellent performance.
“I never thought he could be so amazing on his first show,”she whispered to herself,hearing the audience’s cheer.”His talent would be wasted if he did not pursue a modeling career!”
However,Natalie was relieved that his performance was so well received,because it meant that they appreciated her work as well.
At that moment,Draco and Mandy arrived backstage and were also amazed at Brandon’s professional gait,not inferior to that of the supermodels
Draco looked at Brandon with deep admiration and exclaimed,”I never imagined Mr.Larson to be such an exceptional model on top of being a successful businessman!”
Upon hearing that,Natalie’s lips curved into a proud smile.Indeed,her beloved husband was incredible! Mandy stood beside Natalie with a faint glimmer of appreciation in her eyes.
However,she was a haughty woman and would never express it out loud despite marveling at someone.She raised her chin and said arrogantly, “Not bad.At least he didn’t embarrass all the designers in our country.”
Natalie shook her head helplessly and said,”Thank you for your praise,Miss Hamilton.”
Mandy snorted coldly and retorted,”Who said l was praising you?Don’t flatter yourself.”
“Natalie,your design is excellent,”Draco blurted out, his eyes fixed on the suit Brandon was wearing.
Natalie looked at Draco in astonishment and asked, “Mr.Wesley,what did you just say?”

She couldn’t believe that great Mr.Wesley had given her such high praise.
Draco smiled at Natalie,feeling emotional.”Natalie, you have made great progress.If you keep this up, you will soon surpass me.”
When Natalie first arrived at W Marks,she was a rookie with little knowledge of design.But in less than a year,she had made great strides and was even able to compete with Draco.
Natalie blushed and said gingerly,”No!I still have a long way to go,and I still have a lot to learn from you,Mr.Wesley.”
Draco shook his head and argued,”There’s nothing more that you could learn from me.You have your style and your insights,and they’re outstanding.”
Draco’s gaze turned to Brandon.”In a critical situation like this,you handled everything effortlessly and knew how to choose the model that suited your design style.To be honest,I may not be as good as you in that regard.”
Natalie stared at Draco in amazement,not knowing what to say.
At that moment,Brandon finished his walk and headed toward Natalie.
Draco followed his gaze and looked at Natalie with a gentle smile.”Keep it up,Natalie.I have a feeling we’re soon gonna be competitors.”
