Chapter 334
In order to keep his company's star designer, Natalia, from leaving, William was willing to agree to any
absurd conditions, especially if it only meant keeping her identity a secret. So, without any hesitation,
he agreed to Natalia's conditions and allowed her to work remotely, having the office interns deliver her
design drafts daily.
William's company was on the rise, and as any good CEO would do, he was looking to expand his
operations. His gaze fell on the distant land of Melfort. The most influential corporation in Melfort was
the Andersen Corporation.
In order to successfully penetrate the Melfort market, William sent all of Natalia’s bestselling designs to
the Andersen Corporation, hoping that these perfect creations would catch the eye of Andersen's top
brass.
Soon, William knew he was on the right track. The President of the Andersen Corporation was coming
for a personal visit. This was a golden opportunity. With half an hour to spare before Magnus, the
President of Andersen Corporation, arrived at his company, William rushed to call Natalia. Respecting
Natalia and keeping his promise, he dialed Natalia's number to seek her approval.
At that moment, Natalia was enjoying the morning sun, stretching comfortably. Hector had set the
breakfast on the table - two glasses of orange juice, a few slices of whole wheat bread, and a tossed
garden salad. He heard Natalia's phone ring and called out, "Natalia, breakfast is ready. Also, your
phone is ringing. Better answer it."
Upon hearing this, Natalia wiped off her sweat, walked towards the open-plan dining room, and took
the phone that Hector handed her. "Hello, who is this?" She asked cheerfully.
William's voice came from the other end of the line. He sounded ecstatic. "Natalia, get ready quickly.
We need to head to the airport."
Confused, Natalia asked, "William, didn't we agree? I only handle design drafts, and I'm not involved in
anything else. Can I pass on this airport pick-up?"
Upon hearing this, William got anxious. "Yes, I did agree to your conditions, but this is our best chance
to break into the oversea market. They're specifically asking to meet you. For the sake of the company,
can you make an exception, Natalia?"
Natalia was silent for a moment. She really disliked formalities, which was why she had initially been
asked to do only design drafts. But considering how respectful William had always been to her, she
couldn't decline his request. She sighed and agreed.
"Alright, but can I ask which company it is?" Natalia asked, a hint of worry in her voice. She had never
heard of a company wanting to meet the designer just based on the design drafts.
As soon as William heard that Natalia had agreed, he was overjoyed. "As long as you're coming, that's
all that matters. I'll pick you up. You should know which company it is, right? It's the globally renowned NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Andersen Corporation. If we can secure their investment, breaking into the oversea market will be a
breeze."
While William was confidently explaining this, Natalia was dumbfounded. "Wait, the Andersen
Corporation? The one based in Melfort?"
"Exactly!" William said, brimming with confidence. "It's incredibly rare for a small company like ours to
be noticed by a world-class conglomerate like them. We need to seize this opportunity and can't afford
any mistakes."
As William rambled on, Natalia felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood still, her mind
blank, and dropped her phone.
"Get ready quickly, Natalia. I'll pick you up soon..." William's voice trailed off as he heard the clattering
sound from the other end of the line. Afraid that something had happened to Natalia, he anxiously
called out, "Natalia, Natalia?"
But there was no response. Frustrated, William checked the time and realized that there were less than
20 minutes left until the Andersen Corporation's arrival. "I have no choice but to go pick her up myself."
He then stepped on the gas and headed towards Natalia's apartment.
Meanwhile, Natalia was still shocked. She had moved to Rome to avoid Magnus' pursuit. Even when
designing, she deliberately avoided using her real name, fearing that it would give Magnus a clue to
find her. But never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that the investor for Stitches Fashion would
be the Andersen Corporation. Was this a coincidence or a twist of fate?
William had mentioned that a representative from Andersen Corporation was specifically asking to
meet the designer of these drafts. It seemed her cover had been blown.
But where could she have slipped up? On all her drafts, she had only left a single initial, "N,"
completely omitting her full name.
Where could she have gone wrong?
Sitting on the floor, utterly baffled, Natalia was brought back to reality by the sound of a phone crashing
onto the floor from the open-plan kitchen where Hector was busily working.
Thinking something had happened to Natalia, Hector quickly rushed over. "What's wrong, Nat? Did
something happen?"
When he arrived, he found Natalia squatting on the floor, her face pale, and her eyes vacant, lost in
thought.
Hector instantly grew anxious. Squatting beside her, he asked urgently, "Natalia, what's wrong? Are
you feeling alright?"
Hearing Hector's question, Natalia finally snapped back to reality. She turned her pale face towards
him, her expression helpless. "Hector, Magnus is coming."
"What?" Hector was equally shocked. He never would have suspected that Magnus would suddenly
show up.
Natalia repeated, "You heard it right. Magnus is coming."
