Natalie smiled, embarrassed. She thought that she was useless to him.
When Cecilia first asked Tobias to bring her along to his dinner, Natalie felt uneasy initially.
She subconsciously had a feeling that she was going to humiliate Tobias. After all, she wasn't well-versed in anything. She thought that she wouldn't be presentable enough.
She didn't expect that not only did she not make Tobias lose face, she had also inadvertently helped Tobias to get out of a predicament somehow. This was beyond her expectations.
Natalie thought, "Tobias would have been drunk if it wasn't for me. The presidents would have shoved him bottles of alcohol. If something indecent happened between him and those women, he would have no choice but to work with them."
Due to Cecilia's words, Tobias shifted his gaze to Natalie's face.
When she felt a burning gaze on her, Natalie was seemingly devoid of any fickle emotions. All she could feel was nervousness.
"What's wrong with me? Why don't I dare to look at Tobias after coming back from the dinner? Somehow I would feel nervous if I lay eyes on him." Natalie thought.
"She did help me a great deal," Tobias said in a low voice. He continued slowly, "As my wife, Natalie is indeed qualified."
Natalie felt like her head exploded in an instant.
What did Tobias mean? Was he praising her publicly?
What's more, he also said that she was indeed qualified enough, which meant that she was somehow worthy of Tobias.
Natalie suddenly had an indescribable feeling welling up within her.
Throughout this marriage agreement, Natalie always thought that she was not worthy of Tobias.
After all, Tobias was the CEO of the YS Group, and she, Natalie, was just a poor girl from a poverty-stricken family.
After what had happened lately and coupled with what Tobias had just said, Natalie felt like she suddenly had an illusion.
"It turns out that I'm not as bad as I thought. It turns out that I'm worthy of Tobias." She secretly pondered.
"Natalie," Cecilia said as she held Natalie's hand. "At that time, when I first laid my eyes on you, I felt that you and Tobias were a great match. Now it seems that I was right all along."
After finishing her sentence, Cecilia felt that something was off. She seemed to have said something wrong.
She just wanted to praise Natalie, but she suddenly recalled the scene where she saw Natalie for the first time. She had curly, red hair and was wearing a horrendously garish outfit.
An awkward smile appeared on Cecilia's face.
While Natalie was beginning to feel delighted by what she had heard, she suddenly realized that something was off.
When she met Cecilia for the first time, her appearance was too horrible to recall. How could Cecilia feel that she was a good match for Tobias?
Natalie thought, "Rich people really do see things differently!"
What was the phrase? She had discerning eyes!
Tobias, who was sitting next to them, twitched the corners of his mouth.
An image of Natalie dressed up terribly conjured in his mind.
The three of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a long time. It was afternoon by the time they were nearing the end of their conversation.
Of course, Tobias didn't say anything at all. Cecilia and Natalie were the ones chatting with each other.
Although Cecilia and Natalie's statuses in society were vastly different, they seemed to be very congenial.
When he watched Natalie and Cecilia talking happily, Tobias felt his heart move ever so slightly.
In fact, as a wife, Natalie was perfect.
Soon, it was time for dinner. After dinner, Natalie went to take a shower. When Natalie left the room, Cecilia opened her mouth and asked, "Tobias, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
