Chapter 1769 Sean Is Here
With the refreshing scent of mint invigorating her senses, Lina finally felt the fog in her
mind completely dissipate. She was thoroughly awake.
Afterward, she handed the perfume to Natalie. “Nat, would you like some?”
“Why not?” Natalie took the perfume and sprayed it on herself twice before closing the lid.
Only then did she respond, “He's not here yet. Let me ask him.”
After returning the perfume to Lina, Natalie took out her cell phone and sent a message to
Shane.
About two minutes later, his message came in.
Upon reading the message, Natalie smiled and said, “He's already on his way here. He
should arrive in about ten minutes.”
Lina curled her lips. “He's not even afraid of missing out by showing up at this hour.”
“Absolutely not.” Natalie shook her head with a smile, “Our awards ceremony is broadcast
live in its entirety. Shane has been keeping an eye on it all along. He won't miss it.”
“That's more like it.” Lina nodded.
Natalie stood up. “I'm going to the restroom. Are you coming?”
“I'm not going.” Lina waved her hand dismissively. “I've been sitting here for half the day
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwithout drinking water. I don't need to use the bathroom.”
Her words were so blunt and crude that they annoyed and amused Natalie at the same
time. “Alright then, you wait here for me. I'll be back in a bit.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.” Lina nodded.
With a smile, Natalie stepped out of the awards hall and headed to the restroom.
She had thought that with so many people coming today, the restroom would probably be
crowded. However, when Natalie arrived at the restroom, she found it completely empty
and spotlessly clean, as if someone had deliberately cleared everyone out. It was
incredibly eerie.
However, Natalie did not overthink it. She simply attributed it to a coincidence and walked
into the partitioned area.
The moment she stepped into the stall, a few individuals suddenly emerged from outside
the women's restroom. They positioned themselves on either side of the restroom
entrance and stood guard like sentinels, effectively blocking the door to the women's
restroom.
Originally, there were people coming over to use the restroom. But seeing the situation,
they immediately ran away.
In fact, even if the ladies tried to enter, they would still be driven away by those people.
After those people secured the restroom door, another set of footsteps could be heard.
Immediately after, a man dressed in a black suit appeared outside the women's restroom.
The people guarding the restroom, upon seeing this man, immediately greeted him with
respectful nods.
Nothing happened to the man. He simply gave them a slight wave of his hand before
walking into the women's restroom.
In the restroom, Natalie had finished using the toilet and was now in front of the
washbasin and touching up her makeup.
Hearing footsteps behind her, she did not bother to look back. She assumed it was just
someone heading to the restroom.
It was only when she was applying her lipstick that a man suddenly appeared in the
mirror. She abruptly stopped what she was doing. Her eyes were wide in disbelief as she
stared at the man in the mirror.
Sean?
What is he doing here?
Natalie was utterly shocked, then abruptly turned around to look behind her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs expected, Sean was standing there with his hands tucked into his pockets and a slight
smirk playing on his thin lips. He was smiling at her. “Nat, it's been a while. You're
becoming more and more beautiful.”
Sean praised in a deep voice.
Natalie's brows were tightly furrowed. Her lipstick gripped firmly in her hand. Her heart
was pounding rapidly, filled with fear and unease.
“What are you trying to do?” Natalie asked, her hands gripping the edge of the washbasin
tightly behind her. She watched the man in front of her warily, and her mind was in
complete disarray.
Why?
Why is he here?
It was as if Sean did not notice the wariness and fear in her eyes. With a wicked smile, he
strode toward her.
Seeing the situation, Natalie immediately put her hands up in defense and instinctively
shouted, “Stop, you're not allowed to come any closer. Do you hear me? You're not
allowed to approach me!”
Yet, Sean continued walking without stopping. After he walked up to her, he placed his
hands on the mirror behind her, trapping her between his arms and the mirror.
Such an intimate yet unsettling gesture made Natalie's heart flutter uncontrollably. Her
face turned pale, and her body began to tremble slightly.
