Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 85

Natalia didn't say anything, just holding the hot milk and smiling.

Archie said a few words. Looking at her smile, he didn't complain but also smiled.

"Tell me! Have you already planned it for a long time?"

Natalia nodded.

Archie's appearance today was an accident, but his proposal was similar to her original plan.

She also wanted to compete with Jessica again.

But with his help this time, the competition would be easier and fairer.

Archie seemed to have thought of this as well. He smiled and said, "It seems that I shouldn’t have come here."

Natalia hurriedly shook her head.

"No, it's good that you are here."

She didn't speak more. Although she had already made a plan, she was not confident enough.

The Wright family... She wouldn't trust them anymore.

Five years ago, it was just Shew Wright who convicted her in person.

No one knew whether the competition would be really fair five years later without a fair judge.

So it was good that he was here.

It felt like suddenly having someone behind her and she felt more confident!

Victoria walked out of the hotel and said with a smile, "Oh, I see something I shouldn't have seen, right? Natalia, why don't you introduce him to me?"

Pursing her lips into a smile, Natalia pulled Victoria over and introduced her to Archie.

"This is my best friend, Victoria Kaur."

"Victoria, he is Archie McCarthy, my..."

She paused, and her ears turned rosy red with blush as if they were dyed with rouge.

Finally, she said in a low voice, "My husband."

Victoria's eyes widened in shock.

"What? You, you get married... "

Natalia quickly covered her mouth.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

She explained in a low voice, "A secret marriage."

Victoria nodded.

After Natalia let go of her hand, she looked at Archie and then at Natalia, giving a thumbs up.

"A naughty young couple. It's such a short time, but you... Well, you have my admiration."

Natalia smiled awkwardly.

Archie was very dissatisfied with Natalia's attitude. She even felt embarrassed to introduce him to others, as if he was unpresentable.

So he didn't say anything and expressed his dissatisfaction with his silence.

Victoria asked, "Natalia, to be honest, it has been five years. How much do you remember about that drawing? It will be a mess if you can’t redraw it tomorrow."

Natalia smiled.

She took out a colorful hand-painted drawing from her handbag and said, "I've prepared it already. I drew it with my hands according to my memory, and it's the same as the one of five years ago. I was afraid I would forget it, so I drew it myself. I just need to draw it again tomorrow."

Victoria nodded with relief.

"That's good. Then I have no need to worry about that. It's late. I have to go back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Natalia nodded, "Okay."

Just as Victoria left, a shadow flashed in the dark and disappeared into the boundless night.

Looking at the hot milk in her hand, Natalia took a sip and suddenly said, "Archie, I suddenly wanna go to the restroom. Can you wait for me here for a moment?"

Archie said in a low voice, "I'll go with you."

"No need. The restroom is just on the first floor. I can go there myself. Just take the milk for me."

Archie frowned.

But under her gaze, he didn't say anything but nodded.

Natalia went to the restroom on the first floor.

The handbag was a handheld one, so it was inconvenient to take it into the restroom.

She handed her handbag to the waitress standing at the door of the restroom and said, "Can you keep it for me for two minutes? I'll be out soon."

The waitress often encountered such things. They stood here just to provide such a service to the guests.

So she nodded and respectfully took over Natalia's handbag, returning her a number plate. When Natalia came out later, she could take her bag back with her number plate.

Natalia went out of the restroom soon.

After coming out, she took out her bag with the number plate and left the hotel.

At the corner of the stairs, a tall figure looked at the direction the woman went, and then looked at the colorful hand-painted drawing in his hand. He sneered.

The next day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Natalia and Jessica arrived on time.

Compared with her pale face yesterday, Jessica looked much better today. There was even a hint of confidence in her eyes.

On the contrary, Natalia had been frowning after she came here.

When she saw Jessica, her face was full of anger, as if she wanted to tear her apart. But she couldn't lose her temper in front of everyone, so she had to suppress it.

Seeing Natalia’s anger, Jessica became more confident.

Archie and Shew, who were also the judges of the competition, also came.

There were also three teachers from the Royal College of Arts.

They were all the examiners of that year and they were all invited by Archie.

The rules of the competition were very simple.

The two of them should stay in different rooms and had one hour for the complete reappearance of the work five years ago.

At that time, whoever made the most similar work to the original work of five years ago would be the winner and naturally the owner of the original work.

Natalia knew that Jessica had seen her work only the day before the exam five years ago. Although maybe it had left a deep impression on Jessica, she could never remember it even better than herself.

Moreover, five years had passed, so Jessica could not possibly imitate all of those details since she didn’t draw it herself in the first place.

Besides, Natalia had given her a gift last night…

She must be very happy now, Natalia thought.

Thinking of this, Natalia sneered coldly.

In the meanwhile, her hand was already on the laptop's hand-drawing board without hesitation. Her fingers were as agile as snakes.

Time passed fast.

About forty minutes later, the door of one of the rooms suddenly opened and Jessica walked out.

"I've finished."

Shew nodded.

Of course, Shawn was also there. Seeing her come out, he walked to her and asked with concern, "How was it? Did you redraw it well?"

Jessica smiled confidently.

"Of course, I have sent the file to the mailbox of the headmaster. Shawn, I've told you that I drew it myself. Are you still suspecting me?"

Seeing that she was so confident, the suspicion in Shawn's heart completely dissipated.

"Nonsense! I have been trusting you."

Next to him, Archie curved his lips coldly.

Ten more minutes later, Natalia came out of the room.

Compared with Jessica's confidence, she didn’t look easy.

She said to Shew, "The file has been sent to your e-mail. But after five years, there may be some tiny details that I couldn’t remember clearly. But... It should be probably the same."

Hearing this, Shew frowned and looked at her worriedly.

Finally, he didn't say anything. He called the three examiners over to check the two files together.

When they looked at the two pictures, their expressions became strange.
