Chapter 40

Oscar

quickly asked, "Tm totally sincere. What should I do?"

With a smile, Tessa said. "The person in charge said you should bring M

at nine to discuss the details

to have dinner at the Caesar Hotel tonight

Oscar was about to agree but then paused. He thought of how arrogant Natalie was. He felt that bringing her with him might make things worse. He said awkwardly. "I think I can do it alone. If Ms. Xavier joins us, I'm afraid..." Oscar thought, What if she pi**es off the person in charge again? Then we'll be completely screwed! Tessa rolled her

olled her eyes in her mind. She thought, The dinner tonight is all about Natalie. You're not important at all"

She patiently persuaded, "Director Pierce, Ms. Xavier must attend it. If she hadn't spoken ill of Smooth Skin during the livestream, they wouldn't have sued us. She's the cause of this matter, so she needs to apologize and show some sincerity. Only when the person in charge stops being angry can this matter end up peacefully."

Oscar knew Tessa was right, but he knew it was impossible to let Natalie apologize. However, in order to let them drop the suit and save his show, he gritted his teeth and agreed. "Alright, see you tonight at nine. He thought, TIl persuade Natalie. As long as she agrees to attend it, I'll do all the apologies myself!

A trace of maliciousness flashed in Tessa's eyes when she heard that.

Half an hour later, Oscar stood in front of the villa where Natalie lived. Although he already knew she was wealthy, seeing that she owned such a large villa in such an expensive area, he was still shocked. This was the kind of place he dreamed of living in. Thinking of this, Oscar felt even more unsure..

Before coming here, he had thought about persuading Natalie to apologize, but now he just hoped that she could agree to attend the dinner.

With a nervous feeling, Oscar pressed the doorbell.

Since he had talked to Natalie on the phone before coming, the maid took him inside directly after seeing him.

seen quite a bit of the world, but Natalie's villa was the most luxurious one he had ever seen.

The floor was so shiny that it could reflect their images, and the huge crystal chandelier glittered with golden light. Even the sofa Oscar sat on looked luxurious. Oscar sat there carefully and even held his

breath a little.

The maid asked him to wait a moment and then went upstairs to inform Natalie.

About two minutes later, a familiar lazy voice sounded, "Mr. Pierce."

Oscar jumped up from the sofa instantly and respectfully said, "Ms. Xavier!"

Natalie was wearing loungewear, but her noble and elegant demeanor remained unchanged.

She nodded casually and said, "Have a seat. You said on the phone you had something to discuss. What is it, Mr. Pierce?"

"Well..." Oscar cleared his throat and tentatively said, "Ahem, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight."

Natalie chuckled. She glanced at Oscar up and down with her beautiful eyes.

Chapter 40

Oscar immediately tensed up. He felt as if she could see through him.

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Natalie said, "Just get straight to the point. What's this about?"

Oscar instantly

gave in and told her everything, "If you have a dinner with people from Smooth Skin at nine tonight at Caesar Hotel, they'll drop the lawsuit."

That's it?" Natalie raised her eyebrow

Oscar didn't mention the apology part since he thought she wouldn't agree. He continued, "Yes, Would you like to attend it, Ms. Xavier?

Unexpectedly, Natalie just tutted and then agreed readily. "Sure, but not at nine. It's too late."

Oscar instinctively nodded. "Then what time works for you?"

Natalie e said. "Seven. Then I can come home and go to bed before nine.

Oscar said, "Well Sure

I don't like the place, either, Natalie continued. The food at Caesar Hotel is terrible. Let's switch to Glory Hotel

dar said. "Okay." Oscar

Natalie said. "TII have the maid give you a menu of my favorite dishes. Just order from that."

Oscar

said,

"Okay. Anything else?"

Natalie said, "The last and the most important thing: don't be late. I hate waiting for people."

After saying that, Natalie finally let Oscar go. "That's it. Send me the private room number later."

Oscar subconsciously said, "Okay! I'll arrange it right away, Ms. Xavier, Don't worry. I won't disappoint you!"

Oscar was still a little confused when the maid walked out of the villa.

He thought, Wait a minute. I was here to inform Natalie. How did she get to decide the time and place and the people from Smooth Skin have to cooperate with her? 'Fine. She's willing to attend it, at least. That's good enough It's already 5:30. I have to speed up!

Oscar gathered his thoughts and quickly called Tessa to deliver Ms. Xavier's "order".

Glory Hotel was much better than Caesar Hotel. The people from Smooth Skin took it as a sign of sincerity and agreed right

away

At 7:58 pm, a stretch Lincoln slowly stopped in front of the Glory Hotel in the twilight The door opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman got out of the car.

She was wearing a pink plaid suit, a white silk dress, and a pair of white knee-high boots, looking lively and elegant.

Her wavy hair casually sc**ed over her shoulders, making her delicate and small face look even more gorgeous. Everyone was looking at her and got attracted.

But she ignored everyone. After getting out of the car, she followed the lobby manager to a private elevator.

Darren

Ethan sneered and exposed him at once, "Yeah right. If you hadn't stared at her in a trance, I might've believed you."

"I didn't." Darren denied it at once. "You saw it wrong. The car lights dazzled me."

"Fine." Ethan stopped arguing with him. "What's she doing here? Did Howard invite her, too?"

Howard was hosting a dinner here tonight and had invited some popular dating bloggers and influencers from Twitter. He was going on a

Then he strode toward the private room. He kept thinking about Natalie's look just now,

Darren thought. 'She dressed up so flamboyantly to attend Howard's dinner. She must have known that I'd be here, too. the right way to seduce me.

She really knows

Her outfit today is fantastic. I really like that.

'But I'm still mad at her.

If she has feelings for me, she should be faithful and not contact with other men.

'Using Howard as an excuse to see me more often will hurt Howard a lot.

If she wants to see me, she can just say it. I might kindly agree to meet her when I have time.

Then Darren arrived at the private room. Before he could push the door open, Howard came out to greet him first.

Howard smiled brightly and flattered, "Darren! Guess who I've invited today?"
