The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 335

Hector was struck with disbelief, his words stumbling over each other in shock. "Natalia, Magnus is coming? What on earth for? Is he planning on dragging you back with him?"

"No." Natalia shook her head gently. "It's probably just a coincidence. The company I work for is looking to get Andersen Corporation to invest, and now they're coming over. They say their CEO wants to meet with the template designer. It's not like they're specifically seeking me out, right?"

Despite her words, Natalia was not completely convinced. She could only seek solace in the thought that all of this was nothing more than a string of coincidences.

"What's there to be afraid of? Let him come." Hector puffed out his chest. "Natalia, I'm not the naive kid I used to be. I can protect you now and won't let anyone bully you again. Not even Magnus!"

Natalia gave a soft smile. "Hector, you've misunderstood. I didn't explain well. Magnus was never cruel to me, I left him for other reasons."

"Whatever the reasons, Natalia, you left him. If he wants to grovel and beg for you back, it won't be easy," Hector said, his gaze intense as he looked at Natalia. "Natalia, why can't you give me a chance? I can make you happy too!"

Natalia sighed, a little helpless. "Hector, didn't we agree to be the closest of friends?"

Fearful of upsetting Natalia, Hector quickly changed the subject. "Alright, Natalia. What do you plan on doing now? Are you going to see Magnus?"

"I... I don't know." As Natalia was speaking, the honking of a car horn resounded outside.

She turned her head and saw William pulling up in his car. "William, what brings you here?"

William hopped out of the car and gave Natalia an enthusiastic hug. "Oh, my beautiful lead designer, your phone was on silent, so I decided to come get you myself. We should get going, we're running out of time."

It was then that Natalia realized her phone had fallen onto the floor. Her face flushed slightly. "I'm really sorry, I accidentally dropped my phone."

Hector bent down, picked up Natalia's phone, and handed it to her. He then turned to William. "Hello, I'm Natalia's friend. She's feeling a bit under the weather today, so she won't be able to accompany you to the airport."

Natalia's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Hector to make decisions for her like this.

Assuming that Hector was Natalia's boyfriend, William gave a good-natured laugh. "Oh, so our lead designer is feeling unwell. My apologies. But the CEO of Andersen Corporation specifically requested to meet the designer of these drafts, so..."

Sensing William's discomfort, Natalia hesitated. "What if... I go with you?"

"Natalia, no!" Hector immediately intervened. "You can't go. I remember you telling me that you only draft designs for the company and don't handle social engagements. Since they've agreed to that, they can't force you to go now!"
