Chapter 206
Denise had never had a meal together with Kenneth and Natasha, so she was thrilled.
As thrilled as she was, she knew she had to keep her cool and be elegant.
After all, as an elegant beauty, she had got to behave herself.
The manager came out and attended to them himself that evening. Natasha didn't have much of a request for the food, but Denise was incredibly picky, and she ordered plenty of dishes. Some of the dishes were Natasha's favorites.
When night fell, the stars were shining brightly.
They were sitting by the window, so they could see their reflections on the glass panels. Natasha's long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a long dress. Needless to say, she looked like a beauty out of a drawing.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Although he knew how pretty she was, he was still captivated.
Denise couldn't help but snicker when she saw Kenneth looking at Natasha. “Do you like what you see? Nat is incredibly beautiful, isn't she?”
Kenneth returned to his senses and lowered his gaze to look at Denise. “Yes. She really IS."
“You ought to keep working hard, then. There are plenty of people chasing after Nat!” Denise uttered.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?”
According to what Fabian told him, Natasha didn't have any lovers abroad.
Right then, Denise took a peep at Natasha before whispering into Kenneth's ear, “When we were abroad, a man from a royal family fell in love with Nat at first sight. He was after her for a long time, and in the end, Nat friend-zoned him.”
As Kenneth was listening, he was glancing at Natasha. At first, he wasn't pleased with what he was hearing. However, the frown on his face disappeared when he heard the story's ending. Yes. That's Natasha, all right! With her temper, she'll just friend-zone anyone who tries to pursue her in a serious manner.
When he thought about the recent development of his relationship with Natasha, his lips curled up into a smile.
“Mr. Handsome, good luck, okay? Don't end up getting friend-zoned by Nat,” Denise urged.
Kenneth patted her on the head and answered, “Don't worry. With you guys around, I'll never be just her friend!” Besides, he wasn't going to let that happen.
Denise nodded as if she understood what Kenneth meant.
When Natasha heard them whispering among themselves, she turned around and looked at them. Denise immediately put on a straight face and pretended as if she hadn't said a word about her.
Just by looking at Denise's posture, Natasha knew Kenneth had gotten on Denise's good side.
“What were you talking about?” Natasha looked at her and asked.
Denise shook her head. “What? I didn't say anything.”
Natasha was far from convinced, though.
Unlike everyone else, Natasha knew her like the back of her hand.
She then raised her gaze and stared at Kenneth. He answered, “She's right. No one said a single word.”
Great. Now, they're backing each other up. Natasha wasn't bothered, though. She just couldn't help but realize that blood was definitely thicker than water.
“I need to go to the restroom.”
“Do you know where is it?”
“Um...”
“I'll bring you there!” Kenneth uttered.
“Sure!” Denise smiled.
Kenneth then got up and brought Denise to the restroom.
Natasha sat there and smiled as she watched them leave.
Right then, someone asked, “Are you Mrs. Hamilton?”
Upon hearing that, Natasha turned around and saw a lady standing in front of her. The lady was in her late twenties.
Natasha merely looked at her and remained silent.
“Don't you remember me, Mrs. Hamilton?” the lady asked.
Natasha knew exactly who she was. She's one of the skanks Kenneth kept around back then. I've even poured a glass of wine on her back then.
“I remember,” she answered flatly and expressionlessly.
The lady smiled and said, “Back then, Mr. Hamilton asked me to put on a show with him. Who would've expected that you guys would still be together after all these years?
I only found out about it when I saw the news recently. However, you look different now. I almost didn't recognize you.”
Natasha wasn't interested in her praises. All she cared about were those two words from the sentence. “A show?” she asked.
“Didn't Mr. Hamilton tell you about it? Actually, there was nothing going on between the both of us. Back then, he told me that if I could put on a show with him, he would invest in the movie I was acting in. Basically, we were just acting on our mutual interest back then. Nothing fishy was going on between us,” the lady answered.
Natasha was confused.
The lady then added, “To be honest, the girls around Mr. Hamilton back then were all doing the same thing as I was. Although I don't know what the problem was between you, it seems like everything worked out in the end.”
Natasha narrowed her eyes when she heard that. I've hated Kenneth for so long, but who would've known that it was all just a show that he had orchestrated? Still, no matter what, nothing could change the fact that he had divorced me back then. The only silver lining is that Kenneth isn't a man that slept around.
Suddenly, she recalled what he had said to her before. He told her he hadn't been with another woman after separating from her. She never bothered to question him about that, but she never expected those words to be true.
While she was still thinking about the matter, Kenneth and Denise returned. When the lady saw Kenneth, she immediately smiled and greeted, “Hi, Mr. Hamilton. It's been a long time. I never thought I would see you here!”
Kenneth furrowed his brows and looked at her. “Do I know you?”
The lady went into an awkward silence. We've worked together to put on a show before this. How could he just forget about me entirely?
Kenneth's expression was serious, and he really had forgotten about her.
Right then, Denise asked, “Are you the celebrity named Sharon Saunders?”
Upon hearing that, Sharon bent down and smiled at Denise. “You have sharp eyes, little one! I'm Sharon.”
“I've been watching your shows recently. You look even prettier in real life!” Denise uttered sincerely.
Needless to say, Denise always knew what to say.
Hearing the compliment, Sharon smiled. “Have you? Thank you! You're very pretty as well!”
Denise smiled in response.
Right after that, Sharon got up and glanced at Kenneth before shifting her gaze toward Natasha. Seeing that he didn't remember her, she didn't want to embarrass herself any further. “Please carry on, Mr.
Hamilton. I'll go now.” With that, she nodded and was about to leave.
At that precise moment, Sharon's manager looked at her and asked, “Don't you think that little girl looks suitable to star in your show?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Upon hearing that, Sharon turned around and glanced at Denise. She then narrowed her eyes and answered, “You're right.”
In response, her manager shook her head and said, “I doubt the Hamilton family would want their daughter to be a celebrity, though!”
After giving it some thought, Sharon made her way back toward Denise.
Seeing that, the manager tried to stop her in her tracks. “What are you doing? Have you gone mad?”
Sharon ignored the manager and said to Kenneth, “Mr. Hamilton, I'm currently filming for a movie. There's a character in there that fits your daughter's description. The director still hasn't found the right person for the role, so would you be interested in letting her have a go at it?”
