The land north of the city has officially entered the development and construction phase.
Natalie looked at the planning book in her hand: "The bookstore at this location, I want to renovate it into a design that combines a bookstore and a hotel, leaving a space the size of a bed between the two bookshelves, and build the room in the form of a wardrobe. With an overall classical style."
"Yes." Assistant Mackenzie wrote down Natalie's request on the board.
"Little sister, look at the dress I picked for you." When Charlie arrived, he saw Natalie working. "You have to work at home; it seems you're busier than me."
Signaling the assistant to leave, Natalie smiled. Mackenzie was her personal assistant and had nothing to do with the Brooks family. It was inconvenient to go to the Brooks family to find her.
"I'll go to Times Square later, just the two of us?" Natalie looked up at the clock. Today's high-end dinner party in Times Square started at 8 pm, but it was almost 5 pm.
Charlie nodded. As the organizer, the eldest brother had already left. Zoe, the representative of the Murphy family, also had to go there first to handle some official matters.
Unfolding the dress Charlie chose for her, Natalie's eyes lit up. The second brother was indeed worthy of the entertainment industry, with top-notch taste. The outer layer of this lotus pink dress was like a piece of tulle, gentle and delicate, with a hint of dreaminess, giving people a sense of mystery.
She changed into a dress, the lotus pink color made her look even more gentle and beautiful.
Charlie's eyes flashed with surprise: "Little sister, this dress suits you very well."
Natalie's smile spread in her eyes, and she also felt it.
It took less than an hour from Natalie's villa to the banquet venue.
Since this was a semi-private banquet, to protect the privacy of the guests, all media were blocked outside.
When the two got out of the car, they saw Caleb.
"Hello, sister-in-law... Natalie." Seeing Charlie beside him, Caleb was a little flustered. He raised his hand shyly, not knowing whether to say hello or not.
"Hello." Natalie nodded and smiled, as if greeting a normal friend.
Charlie patted her hand to reassure her, and then the two entered the banquet hall intimately.
Caleb looked at the backs of the two, silently praying for Morgan Samuel in his heart, wondering what his expression would be like when he witnessed this scene.
"Charlie, you're finally here." Harold, Charlie's good friend in the group, came over to greet them first. The two had collaborated on a play before, and Harold was also someone who had won many awards. Of course, today's banquet couldn't be without him.
Harold looked at Natalie beside him, a little surprised, then curiously sized her up a few times.
Harold said, "The first time you brought your girlfriend out, I just wanted to see what kind of fairy could knock you down. Why don't you introduce her to me?"
Charlie was not polite to him: "Why?"
"Little girl, are you Charlie's girlfriend?" Harold smiled, as if whispering to a child: "I tell you, he is old, knows how to deceive others, don't be fooled by him."
Charlie squinted at him, wanting to be his brother-in-law, to see if he would agree.
Natalie giggled, looking at the sad Harold. She stepped forward to greet: "Hello, your name has long been admired by everyone."
"She is Natalie." Charlie reluctantly introduced his sister to Harold.
Harold keenly recognized Charlie's words. He didn't think it was a polite remark and looked at Charlie angrily, "Do you often badmouth me in front of others, right?"
Natalie laughed, the second brother only said that once in front of her, and this Harold was as interesting as he said.
"Charlie, you're here."
The voice was a little familiar. Natalie turned around and saw Coral.
Coral had seen Natalie for a long time, and her eyes were still searching for Charlie. When she saw that the person standing next to him was actually Natalie, she bit the cake in her hand bitterly.
Charlie recalled her story in his heart, and he didn't want to talk to her at all and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.
"Hey, isn't this Coral?" Harold greeted, but it sounded sarcastic.
The story of Coral playing music with older men was once a hot topic; the brokerage company spent a lot of money to promote her. This story was widely spread, and she didn't know how many people laughed at her behind her back.
She was very angry in her heart, but Harold was a senior, and his wrists were bigger than hers, so she didn't dare to offend him, and could only vent her anger on Natalie, a person of little fame.
"Today's banquet only invited all the upper class in the entertainment and business world. I don't understand why Miss Natalie came here?"
Natalie couldn't help but laugh, pretending to be confused: "I heard that today is full of big names in the entertainment industry. I really didn't expect Miss Coral to come here."
Her tone was sincere, her eyes were innocent, as if she wanted to tell everyone that I was only telling the truth.
Coral was speechless, almost choking to death.
It was true that she wasn't on the guest list today, and she only had the chance to come after being invited by a male artist in the company.
Talking at a party is normal, but being exposed in public is quite embarrassing. She has seen everyone's mocking eyes, especially when there are a few female stars among them who are still her rivals. Thinking of the purpose of coming here today, the urge in her eyes disappeared, her eyes turned to a cunning look: "You are so good at talking.
After Coral left, Harold gave Natalie a thumbs up: "I admire you."
Seeing Charlie's proud expression, Harold took a sip of champagne, but the taste was really sour. Then he hugged his chest and walked away.
The people who could come to the party today were all famous people or people with high status in the entertainment industry. Charlie already had a status in the entertainment industry, and he was also the second young master of the Brooks family, so he also had a lot of connections in the business world so Today, there were a lot of people who wanted to entertain him.
Natalie greeted Charlie and his friends one by one. Many people thought she was Charlie's girlfriend, but Charlie just smiled and denied it, not saying anything more.
Because Charlie had never had a female co-star by his side, he always kept a distance from the actresses he collaborated with outside of the film. Even when promoting a new work, he never uses gossip to exaggerate hot spots.
On a rather private occasion, it was quite surprising that he could bring his girlfriend.
And because Coral had just made such a fuss, everyone's eyes turned to Natalie for a moment, wondering who Natalie was, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Charlie.
