Chapter 209
However, the ladies who were judging Natalie were getting louder as they made mean remarks. It was as if they were deliberately doing so for her to hear it.
Of course, there was a strong sense of jealousy in their tone.
Everyone could tell that Tobias was the most outstanding man among the rich and powerful in the room.
The assertive aura and outstanding looks were like a bottomless abyss, attracting all the women present to fall into it.
All the ladies could only admire a man like him from afar, but this unscrupulous woman, who was eating and not caring about how she looked, appeared on the Princess Cruise holding Tobias's hand.
How could they not be jealous?
Natalie's eyes moved slightly.
She did not want to cause trouble in a place like this.
However, it did not mean that she was afraid and could be easily bullied.
"Bounce!"
Natalie threw the fork in her hand hard at the buttercream cake.
The buttercream splattered everywhere and some of the buttercream landed on the faces of the ladies
sitting on the French sofa nearby.
When these ladies were about to scream, they realized that screaming in public would ruin their image, so they could only ask the waiter for some towels to clean up the cream on them.
Natalie was internally happy at how the ladies were humiliated.
She saw that no one was at the sofa area so she called the waiter over.
"Could you please help me to put all the cakes, drinks, and fruits on that table?"
After saying that, Natalie sat on the sofa, and soon the table in front of her was filled with delicacies.
Natalie began to gobble the food down.
The ladies who were gossiping about Natalie looked at her, disgusted.
Natalie happily drank a glass of juice and then coldly glanced at the group of ladies. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't it torturous to go on a diet just to maintain that figure of yours? You can't even scorn anyone even if you get cream on yourself because you need to appear ladylike. That's unfortunate!"
Natalie suddenly raised her voice and said, "Even if you continue to pretend, Tobias will not even bat an eye at you. I am the only woman who could hold his hand!"
The faces of the ladies changed dramatically.
Natalie felt happy, extremely happy.
She continued to eat the delicacies on the table.
From time to time, she would eye Tobias.
The man stood there, tall and upright. He was the highlight of the night.
The corners of Natalie's lips curled up slightly.
She knew Tobias gave her the privilege as he was the reason that she could sit there and mock the ladies.
The long, dreadful networking finally came to an end.
Tobias walked towards Natalie.
Natalie's stomach was bloated from eating. Her dress was tight, and now, it made her belly look more bloated.
At first, she was still mindful of how she looked, but after a while, she could not be bothered. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
She sat there looking like a lazy cat that ate too much.
Because of her bloated belly, the initial elegance from wearing the white gown completely vaporized.
Tobias burst into laughter.
Natalie jumped up when she saw Tobias coming over.
She held Tobias's hand sweetly, "Hubby, you're here."
She deliberately emphasized the word "hubby".
The faces of the ladies around her turned even uglier.
How could Tobias not know what Natalie was thinking? He caressed her face and asked, "Are you
eating happily?"
"Yes, I am very happy," Natalie smiled brightly, "Even if I don't care for my image when I eat or eat until I'm bloated, my hubby will still love me so much. What can I do?"
The ladies turned pale.
Tobias took Natalie out of the banquet hall. Natalie asked, "Tobias, where are we going? Are we going back?"
Tobias's eyes fell on Natalie's face, "Why aren't you calling me hubby anymore? Hmm?"
Natalie gave a dry laugh, "Hehe, I was just trying to provoke those boastful ladies earlier."
Tobias said with a slight smile, "We will sleep here tonight. I'll take you to the suite."
"Here?" Natalie suddenly felt woozy.
She thought that they could go back after the charity auction and networking.
However, after thinking about it, sleeping there was not a terrible idea. It would be her first time sleeping on a cruise. Maybe she could have a "good time" on the cruise too.
Natalie's face turned red instantly.
Good heavens, what was she thinking?
"Good time" on the cruise? How could a girl think of such things?
Don't be too lascivious, Natalie.
Tobias took Natalie to the most luxurious suite on the Princess Cruise, the sea-view suite. Through the
clear window, the sea view could be seen.
To distract her from dirty thoughts, Natalie looked around from time to time.
Soon, she found a row of rooms that looked unique.
The door was in the shape of a big red lip; it looked like a rose in the middle of a dark night.
"Is this also a room to rest as well? The door is very chic, isn't it?"
"Do you want to sleep there?" Tobias casted a glance at Natalie.
At the same time, a waiter passed by from behind.
"Mr. Whitlock, is there anything I can do for you?" The waiter asked politely as he saw Tobias stopped and looked at the red-lip room.
Tobias looked at Natalie and asked, "Do you want to stay here tonight?"
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered.
It was the first time that she saw a room with a lip-shaped door. She wondered how it looked inside.
"Sure," Natalie said.
Tobias said to the waiter, "Change our room to this room tonight."
"Yes, Mr. Whitlock. Please wait for a moment. I'll send you your access card." The waiter said respectfully and then left.
"I wonder what it looks like inside." Natalie took a look at the big red lips.
At that moment, Benjamin walked up to them.
He glanced at Natalie and said respectfully to
Tobias, "Mr. Whitlock, everything has been arranged."
Tobias nodded.
"Natalie, I have something to do and won't come back so early. You can sleep first," Tobias said.
Natalie nodded.
She was thinking that Tobias was sought after by many since he entered the cruise ship. He probably had a lot of business matters to discuss.
After Tobias left, the waiter came back with the access card.
He handed the access card to Natalie.
Natalie opened the door and it was dark inside.
Using the light from the corridor, Natalie managed to find the switch. The room was decorated in detail; even the switch was shaped like a red lip.
After she switched on the lights, it was not the bright lights she expected.
Instead, the room had an ambiguous light. The light cast made the room seem rather dim.
With the help of the minimal light from the room, Natalie clearly made out the layout of the room.
There was a huge bed with red tassels hanging down from the bed curtains. There were huge mirrors in front of and above the bed. All kinds of equipment and rope were all over the bed.
