Chapter 46 Cutting Off Her Cooperations
When Natalie entered Irwin’s office again, she was nervous.
Irwin’s expression was far from welcoming, and she didn’t have much confidence. Though she wasn’t under his direct authority, they had a business relationship.
If her designs left a bad impression, it would be embarrassing for her!
Irwin fl*pped through the designs, and his brow furrowed.
Natalie found it hard to breathe.
Had she made a terrible impression on him yesterday? Did he find her designs utterly unsatisfactory?
However, Irwin nodded in the next moment and said, “It seems I was too quick to judge yesterday. It’s
better than I expected.”
“R–really?”
Hearing these words, Natalie felt a sense of relief wash over her.
But she remained cautious.
Irwin continued, “It appears you put in considerable effort last night, but there are some areas that still
need improvement.”
“I would greatly appreciate your feedback, Natalie replied.
This project was the greatest opportunity for her. She couldn’t miss a single chance to get ahead!
Irwin raised an eyebrow and gave her a scrutinizing look. While his expression was serious, his gaze was deep.
Natalie didn’t dare to linger on his captivating presence. She lowered her head and pulled out another identical copy, ready to outline the areas that needed changes.
Her earnestness made it difficult to reject her.
Irwin took a deep breath and glanced at the design in his hand. He quickly marked several areas that needed adjustment and handed it to her, saying. “These areas seem suboptimal and completely overshadow the strengths of this design.”
Natalie accepted the paper and examined it. She didn’t realize the problems with the design until Irwin pointed them out!
Irwin certainly had a unique eye for design.
“Do you need me to explain how to make the changes?” Irwin asked.
“No, I know what to do,” Natalie replied, shaking her head.
Standing up, Natalie respectfully said to Irwin, “Thank you very much. I’ll be heading back now.”
Irwin nodded, and his expression seemed less serious than before. However, Natalie maintained a professional attitude.
After all, he was a major client!
Exiting Irwin’s office, Natalie found Dylan waiting outside. He wore glasses and had a cultured and warm
demeanor. Yet, his politeness contained an undeniable air of competence.
When he saw Natalie, he greeted her with a polite smile. “How did it go?”
“It went quite well. Thank you,” Natalie replied.
“You’re welcome, Ms. Walker.”
“Well, I’ll be heading back now. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye!”
Natalie entered the elevator with her designs. She felt more confident today compared to the uncertainty
she had when entering Apex Global this morning.
When Natalie returned, Karina asked, “How did it go?”
While the Apex Global project was a substantial one, Karina felt it was still dispensable. So, compared to how nervous Natalie had been, Karina was much more relaxed about it.
Natalie nodded and replied, “Mr. Frazier suggested some changes, so we need to work on those.”
Karina agreed.
agreed with a nod. Taking the designs handed to her, she examined them and nodded again.
“I felt that something was off before, but I couldn’t tell what it was until now.”
It was as Natalie had suspected. Though they hadn’t said anything at the time, they both felt that something was amiss.
hat was the reason Korina ka
“I’ll hold a meeting with the team. You should get some rest,” Karina suggested.
Natalie was the most stressed at the moment out of all of them. She had been working diligently and was
genuinely tired.
Natalie agreed. “Sounds good!”
On the other hand, Cedric was getting increasingly frustrated. Their design department consisted of top-
notch designers, but not a single set of designs met his expectations this time.
He was initially already in a bad mood, and the repeated failures made him want to explode.
That was when Yuvan reported an infuriating piece of news. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mrs. Johnson isn’t working at a company, she has opened her own studio.”
Cedric’s eyes darkened at Yuvan’s words. It appeared that he had severely underestimated his wife’s
capabilities.
“Then inform all the companies not to collaborate with her. Let’s see how stubborn she can be.”
Cedric thought back to everything that had happened. Starting from her recent transformation, how she had severed ties with the family, even moving out of Scarlet Villa… All the signs pointed to her wanting to break all connections with him.
After a decade of marriage, Cedric had never imagined it would come to this.
Look at how estranged they were!
“It’ll be easy for other companies to follow the order, but Irwin Frazier is in charge of Apex Global. I’m afraid it would be…” Yuvan trailed off, not finishing his sentence..
Irwin Frazier!
Cedric was no stranger to this man. Back in their school days, they were neck–and–neck competitors and remained on opposing sides throughout the years. Their rivalry only intensified as they both had stakes in the eastern suburbs project. It was still unclear who was the better man between them!
And now, Natalie was collaborating with Irwin?!
Cedric closed his eyes as rage surged through him. When he opened his eyes again, they flashed with Intensity.
“We don’t need to worry about Irwin. She won’t be able to work with him!”
Natalie didn’t have the skills to match Cedric. That said, she definitely wouldn’t catch Irwin’s eyes with her
measly capabilities.
Cedric firmly believed that what he considered impossible would also be deemed unsuitable by Irwin.
Irwin was a man who strongly adhered to his principles and values, especially in matters of corporate dealings. He held every business partner to the highest standards.
“Understood, sir.” Yuvan nodded in agreement, relieved to a certain extent.
The constant turmoil between Cedric and Natalie had given him many headaches, and he couldn’t predict when it would end. The staff working under Cedric had also suffered as a result of their constant
bickering.
They all prayed hard for Natalie to calm down soon so that the drama would end!
“I need you to look into someone,” Cedric suddenly said.
“Who?”
“The chairman of Regal Horizons International!”
Mentioning Regal Horizons International caused a chilling glint to flash in Cedric’s eyes. Even his handsome features, once enchanting, now appeared devoid of their former warmth.
Regal Horizons International had been a prominent player in the international real estate scene for many
years.
The thought that Natalie had connections with this company made Cedric uneasy. He found it hard to believe that she could be attracted to someone who was old enough to be her father.
Yet, conflicting with his doubt was the image of Natalie elegantly accompanying Stephen to a social
event.
In those moments, she truly appeared to be a woman of high status and grace!
