“There is one more place that needs to be modified.Please tell her that this may take some time.”

Natalie had been staring at Kelly all this time, sensing something was wrong.

Natalie turned to face Laney, who was smiling at Kelly as if she didn’t notice anything was wrong.She was truly

blessed with a good heart.

Kelly, on the other hand, was a different story.She looked at Laney with scorn in her eyes.

Natalie had never before seen Kelly.

Was she Garrett’s secretary? When did he get a new secretary? Kelly was beautiful and sexy.She also looked like

she was intimate with Garrett.lt was completely inappropriate.

Natalie asked directly, “Mr.Harding, we haven’t seen each other in only a few months.When did you find such a

beautiful secretary?”

And in a rather emphatic tone, she added, “I remember you said you would be faithful to Laney when you married

her, right?”

“Don’t make fun of me, Natalie.You know I won’t break my word.”

Garrett instinctively glanced at Laney and studied her expression.

Without missing a beat, he put his arm around her shoulder and smiled.

Then he turned to Natalie and explained, “This is Kelly Astley.She is just someone my mother arranged to be my

secretary.She got sick and asked for a long leave of absence to recuperate abroad.She returned to work just

recently.”

In a sharp about-face from his womanizing days, Garrett was now the epitome of a devoted husband.He barely

even looked at other women these days.

The corners of Kelly’s mouth twitched when she heard that, but she could only nod along and say, “Yes, it’s exactly

as Mr.Harding said.”

Indeed, it was by Vera’s orders that she was by Garrett’s side.

Aside from being his assistant, Kelly was also tasked to deal with the women who came pandering to Garrett and

dissuade them from trying to be his wife.She had done her job pretty well over the years.

However, she eventually went through a burnout phase from all the pressure, so she filed for a leave of absence.

When Kelly returned, Garrett not only had a wife, but a child on the way as well.

And this wife of his was just some unknown bodyguard.

Kelly was understandably livid.She couldn’t accept the fact that she had lost to a woman of a much inferior status

to hers.

In her mind, she already had Vera’s approval when the latter had asked her to be Garrett’s secretary.

If Laney hadn’t gotten pregnant, Kelly was certain that she would have eventually been Garrett’s wife.

Natalie could tell from the way Garrett spoke that he had no feelings for Kelly.

But she couldn’t really say the same thing about Kelly.

Besides, Laney was pregnant now and it was inconvenient for her to do many things.

“So, Miss Astley is merely a secretary” Natalie remarked coldly.

“Since you are aware of your position, you would do well to act accordingly.”

Kelly’s face froze, and her cheeks turned pink with embarrassment.She knew then that Natalie had seen through

her intentions.She shot Natalie a hostile gaze.

Kelly had no idea who Natalie was since she was still away when the news circulated all over the country that

Natalie and Brandon got married.

She noted Natalie’s plain dress however and guessed that she was nothing more than a pretty-faced designer from

a middle-class family.

Kelly had seen all types of women in the years she had worked for Garrett.She had no doubt that Natalie was just

another one of the ambitious misses who wanted to get his attention.

Kelly scoffed to herself, thinking that Natalie’s type was the most stupid of all.

She had probably deluded herself into thinking that she had a good relationship with Garrett, and was therefore

acting presumptuous toward the women who were actually close to him.

“I assure you that I know what to do.Like Mr.Harding said, I am the secretary especially chosen by Mrs.Harding.You

must be the designer from W Marks, right? You would do well to attend to your job, too.You’d better hurry and

modify the dress we need, and then send it to the Harding residence in person.Don’t waste time dilly-dallying, or

you will be in big trouble.”

Kelly made no effort to conceal her animosity as she bossed Natalie around.

Before Natalie could retort, Garrett opened his mouth and snapped, “Shut up, Kelly! You can’t afford to offend

her.The matter of the dress is no big deal, it doesn’t warrant so much fuss.I can send someone to take it once it’s

done.”

Kelly gnashed her teeth in frustration, but since Garrett had spoken, she could only lower her head.

“I understand, Mr.Harding.”

“I apologize, Natalie.Please pay her no mind.I’m taking Laney to the restaurant for a bite.Would you like to join us?”

Throughout the exchange, Garrett was only worried that his dear wife might be starving or uncomfortable

anywhere.

“I’m not going,”

Natalie shook her head.She didn’t want to disrupt the lovebirds.

“Someone is waiting for me at home.”
