My Heart only Beats for You

Lanny pretended to cough. "Actually, I should be the one who won the honor last year. However, I was sick at that time, thus I didn't look well. Otherwise, the honor must have belonged to me." "You're right, Lanny. Don't worry, it must be you this time," said the woman beside Lanny.

"If Mr. Whitlock danced with you, he would certainly be obsessed with your beauty and graceful dance." They began to flatter more.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Whitlock is not married. He seems to be over 30 years old. Lanny, you've got to go for it. Perhaps you will stand a chance to be his girlfriend." "Yes, Lanny is beautiful and young. Not to mention she has a good family background. Maybe Mr. Whitlock would really like her." Another colleague chimed in with others. Lanny smiled very happily as she listened to those flattering words in the office.

What a hypocritical scene.

Natalie could not help but let out a cough.

With that, everyone stopped talking and turned to look at Natalie.

Natalie was silent.

She did not do it on purpose. She just coughed unintentionally. She didn't expect that everyone would fix their gaze at her.

Natalie could only explain with a wry smile, "Well, I just want to mention that Mr. Whitlock is not back yet until now. He probably won't attend the annual dinner tonight." Everyone's face changed all of a sudden. Lanny's reaction was the most obvious.

She felt that Natalie was slapping her in the face in public.

Lanny glared at Natalie angrily. "Even if Mr. Whitlock were here, he wouldn't have a crush on you!" Natalie was speechless.

She knew herself well. Thus, she never had such a delusional thought.

Natalie continued to grin. "I know, that's why I never daydream. Lanny, don't you think so?" Lanny's face darkened in an instant.

She thought Natalie must have said that on purpose.

Natalie said that to her deliberately.

However, Natalie was grinning cheekily, thus she could not get mad anyway.

The evening rolled around.

Natalie changed into the dress Yvonne had given her and put on a pair of low-heels.

Of course, a pair of high heels was more appropriate for such an occasion. However, she was not good at wearing high-heels. Thus, she opted for low-heels instead. Natalie took a taxi to go to the destination.

This time, the annual dinner of the YS Group was held at the best hotel in Agaphen City.

When Natalie arrived in front of the hotel, she saw a lot of cars parked outside.

Although not all of them were luxurious cars, they were at least high-end cars.

Although it was just the company's annual dinner, the scene was grand, and there was even a long red carpet on the floor.

When Natalie was at the hotel entrance, she saw Lanny and Doris.

They were walking hand in hand and were both dressed gorgeously.

Natalie nodded to them politely and went straight in.

She didn't like these two women very much and didn't want to spend much twith them.

Doris peered at Natalie with a gleam in her eyes. "Lanny, why does that scrubby Natalie wear such a beautiful dress? It seems to be from Dior." Lanny grunted. "Hmph, does she deserve that?!" Thinking about Natalie's sarcasm in the afternoon, Lanny was furious.

She hated Natalie so much.

"Even the poor Natalie wants to show off!" There was a hint of hatred in Lanny's eyes.

She whispered at Doris.

After a while, she took Doris's arm and caught up with Natalie hurriedly. "Natalie, Natalie." Natalie heard someone calling her, hence she stopped.

"Natalie." Lanny trod to Natalie and spoke in a warm voice that Natalie had never heard before. "You look so beautiful today." A hint of suspicion flashed through Natalie's eyes.

"Well, what a Greek gift," she thought to herself.

She didn't believe Lanny's words.

However, she still had not figured out what Lanny's intention was.

"Thank you, you too," Natalie replied distantly.

"Your dress is from Dior, right? Lethave a look," Lanny said as she lifted the hem of Natalie's dress.

Natalie's dress was very long.

Natalie's suspicion deepened.

Suddenly, an idea flashed on her.

She had wanted to get the hem back from Lanny. Out of expectation, it was too late.

Lanny fell backward.

"Rip..." A piece of cloth was torn from Natalie's long dress.

Doris held up Lanny at just the right time.

She pretended to be shocked. "Lanny, are you okay? You scared the hell out of me." Lanny patted her chest. "I don't know what happened either." She glanced at the piece of cloth in her hands and looked at Natalie apologetically. "Natalie, I'm so sorry. I don't know what's going on. What should we do now?" Natalie stared at Lanny. "If you were an actress, you're definitely not a good one." Lanny was stunned.

Natalie's expression beccolder. "If you like my dress, you can just tell me. I'll give it to you directly so that you have to snatch it in such a dirty way." Lanny remained silent.

She knew the truth. Therefore, she didn't dare to retort when Natalie said so.

Natalie glimpsed at Lanny and Doris coldly and left.

She wondered if she had been too lenient because she thought she om shouldn't get into trouble as a dn't get into t newcomer. As a result, Lanny and Doris were going further. Natalie glanced at her dress and sighed. What should she do? There was no way she was going to wear a torn dress to the annual dinner.

In desperation, Natalie found a waitress who was about her size and borrowed clothes from her.

The waitress only brought white sportswear with her.

Natalie knew that it would be very odd and incongruous to wear sportswear on such an occasion. However, she had no choice. It was better than wearing a torn dress.

Natalie changed into sportswear.

Sure enough, she was ridiculed when she cout.

Many colleagues looked at Natalie and whispered.

"Isn't that the newbie, Natalie? Why is she dressed like that? Can't she even afford a nice dress?"

"I heard that this girl's family condition is bad, and she doesn't even have a house. Perhaps she lives in a rented apartment.

reasoned Thus, h reasonable for her to wear such clothes." The guest of the annual dinner kept pointing at her. S{a}**h the Find Nøvel. et website on Gøøgl to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"She shouldn't attend the annual dinner if she's poor. Doesn't shem know that everyone has to dress up nicely here?" A woman mocked at the side. When Natalie cin earlier, no one noticed her. Moreover, Lanny tore her dress at a hidden place.

Therefore, they assumed Natalie cin her sportswear directly.

Natalie listened to the gossip of these people and did not want to explain much.

They were right. She was poor and couldn't afford a dress.

Yet she didn't think that it was anything to be ashamed of either.

The chatter of these people wouldn't hurt her anyway.

Natalie simply put her attention on the sumptuous food in the hotel.

The only thing that would please her in this annual dinner was the wide choice of food.

Seeing that Natalie did not care about the comments of others and even enjoyed eating, the people felt more speechless.
