Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 87

“Yeah.” Shane nodded slightly in response.

He had his sight locked on this particular gown the moment he saw it, thinking that it suited her a lot.

It seemed like he was right.

Natalie scratched her ear and returned the compliment. “You look very handsome too, Mr. Shane.”

She did not say that out of courtesy. In fact, after dressing up, he looked even more dashing than before, emanating a dignified aura.

Connor will look like him when he grows up, right?

As she thought about it, a keen smile appeared on Natalie’s face.

Shane was pleased by her compliment. However, when he suddenly spotted her smile and the way she looked at him, the atmosphere around him instantly turned cold.

Who does she see in me?

Sean?

Noticing something amiss with him, Natalie quickly returned to her senses and asked confusedly, “What’s wrong, Mr. Shane?”

“Nothing.” He brushed past her coldly and headed toward the lift lobby.

Gazing at his back, Natalie tilted her head, feeling extremely puzzled.

What is he angry about?

I didn’t offend him, right?

Unable to figure it out, Natalie sighed exasperatedly and quickly jogged after him.

The gathering was held in the Fashion Hall. Not only were numerous famous fashion critics present, but there were also many fashion designers.

Some of them even brought their own designs along to showcase them at the gathering. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Scrutinizing the design drafts enviously, Natalie could not help but mumble, “If I had known earlier, I would’ve brought some over too.”

When Shane overheard her, he turned around and glanced at her. “The fashion show for Project Rebirth is where you will shoot to fame. This is too insignificant of an event for you to showcase your designs.”

“Are you that confident in me, Mr. Shane?” Natalie raised her eyebrows in surprise.

“I’m confident in your designs.” Shane grabbed two glasses of red wine from a waiter’s tray and passed one to her. “Let’s go and invite some critics.”

“Okay.” Natalie nodded. Holding onto his arm, they weaved between the critics.

After roaming around the hall, they managed to invite more than a dozen of internationally renowned fashion critics.

This number greatly exceeded the number of critics required for a fashion show.

Hence, both of them stopped inviting people for the rest of the gathering. Instead, they headed to the lounge with their glasses of red wine to rest.

However, at that moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

As Natalie was wearing heels, she lost her balance and was about to fall onto the ground.

Shane’s expression turned tense as he unhesitatingly tossed his glass away. Grabbing her wrist, he forcefully pulled her into his arms.

“What’s happening? Is there an earthquake?” Natalie’s face turned ashen as she saw the shaking tables around her. She could hear shrieks of fear, loud noise of objects crashing onto the ground and the shattering of glass echoing through the hall.

Although Shane was not as terrified as her, he also looked on edge. “Yeah. This country is located in an earthquake zone, so it’s a normal occurrence. However, I didn’t expect us to be caught in one so quickly after arriving.”

“What should we do now? Will the building collapse?” Natalie’s voice was trembling.

As she had never encountered such a situation before, she could not help but feel afraid.

“The building’s structure is very sturdy, so it won’t collapse. Let’s just wait for the earthquake to pass.” Wrapping an arm around her waist, he propped his other arm on a table to help her regain her balance.

He sounded very calm when he said that, as if an earthquake was just a trivial matter. For some reason, Natalie’s fear diminished greatly.

She leaned against his chest quietly. Breathing in the faint fragrance on his body, she could not help but close her eyes.

She had always wondered why his scent felt so familiar to her.

It turned out that it was because she had smelled it on that night five years ago.

The earthquake ensued, showing no signs of stopping.

Shane quickly scanned his surroundings, planning to find an unobstructed exit and leave this place with Natalie.

However, at that moment, he suddenly heard a huge creaking noise above him.
