Chapter 250
Nathalie knew she couldn't afford to ruffle the feathers of their business partner's daughter, so she offered a
polite, "Well, that's really kind of you, thanks." Nathan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Hmph."
Both Nathalie and Ashley turned their attention to him.
"The camera isn't kind to a pancake face," Nathan remarked coolly.
Nathalie touched her own face, puzzled. "Is my face really that round?"
Ashley jumped in, "You've got a bit of baby fat, Nathalie, but it's all in the right places. You're super photogenic."
Nathan turned to look at Nathalie, but his view was limited to her profile. Yet, her striking features still managed
to stir something within him.
The idea of her becoming a celebrity, admired by countless fans, inexplicably rubbed him the wrong way. "Do
you really want to be an actress?" he asked.
Nathalie couldn't afford to turn down a financial backer's generosity. She nodded, "Yeah."

Nathan, taking her seriously, said, "Alright, I'll start a film production company and sign you on."
Nathalie was left startled.
Ashley was completely puzzled, "Nathan, why are you so set on being Nathalie's backer?"
It was a wake-up call. Nathalie was just as surprised. Whenever she ventured into something new, Nathan would
follow, creating tailored opportunities for her. What was his game? "I could also be her client," Nathan suggested.
Nathalie nearly choked on her own spit. She didn't have the means to employ such a high-profile figure.
As they joked around, the car finally pulled up to Pulse Technologies.
He was taking in the impressive sight of the building. Pulse
Regan was waiting at the net
Technologies, like its founder, was youthful and dynamic. Its modern architecture, materials, and design were
cutting-edge.
While admiring the magnificent skyscraper, Regan remarked, "Pulse Technologies being housed in such a trendy
building really shows its strength."
Nathan arrived just in tto hear Regan's thoughts and corrected him, "Regan, this entire skyscraper belongs
to Pulse Technologies. We even have an identical one overseas."
Regan's jaw dropped. "This building
is even bigger than those of the century-old giants. Must've cost a
bundle, huh? Nathan, does Pulset
Technologies really need such a massive space?" His tone carried a hint of disapproval for Nathan's lavish
spending habits.
Ashley chimed in sweetly, "Dad, if Nathan's ever short on cash, our family could sponsor him."
Nathan didn't react, but Nathalie was internally celebrating like she'd just hit the jackpot, her face glowing with
pride as she flattered, "Nathan's so lucky to catch Ashley's eye."

Nathan pulled Nathalie back from drifting towards Ashley, whispering a warning, "Nathalie, | don't want to rely on
women."
Nathalie rolled her eyes, "Plenty of men wish they could but can't. Don't take your blessings for granted."
Nathan was left speechless. She
noticed him glare at her as if he had
a deep grudge, so she patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him, "Oh con, Mr. Nathan, there's nothing
wrong with being a
stay-at-hhusband. You won't have to worry about buying a car or house; just move in with your wife and live
a carefree life. Plenty of people would envy you."
Nathan's face darkened, "You think | can't afford a car or house?"
Was it really worth trading his dignity just to save on a house and car?
"Hmph," Nathan huffed and stormed off.
Nathalie was left wondering, "What's gotten into him today? Why is he all fired up?"
