Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 776

He didn't even care if he'd had enough to eat.

In the past, she would always worry that he hadn't eaten enough. She’d coax him to have a little more, saying he needed to eat well to stay healthy.

He had taken that meticulous care for granted back then, but now, it was gone for good.

Sebastian’s hands, resting on his knees, clenched slightly. He watched her bow her head to reply to a text, his handsome features gradually knitting into a frown. “Natalie, can’t you just eat first? You’re staring at your phone, and the food’s getting cold.”

Hearing the slight reprimand in his voice, Natalie looked up at him, her eyes wide. “What’s wrong?”

Sebastian’s lips thinned. His voice was low. “Eat first.”

“Oh.” Natalie saw she only had a few bites of rice left. She quickly finished them, then stood up to take her plate to the sink.

There wasn't much to talk about with Sebastian.

Sebastian watched the distant and indifferent Natalie, a frustrating annoyance churning inside him.

Seeing her back as she worked in the kitchen, he sighed softly and went upstairs for a conference call.

He had been incredibly busy lately. Work was piling up, leaving him exhausted. Coming back here was the only thing that brought a bit of warmth to his heart.

After washing the dishes, Natalie came out of the kitchen. Not seeing Sebastian, she went back to her room to rest.

She had been looking over the rules for the designer competition.

It was a standard competition, but winning it would be a good way to get noticed.

After careful consideration, Natalie decided it was best to let Joanna take the spotlight. She would operate from the shadows while her enemy was out in the open.

After all, this wasn’t the right time for her to be making a name for herself.

Back in her room, she didn't work on any sketches tonight. Instead, she went back to watching the stock market.

The moment she opened her laptop, she got a call from Marshall.

“Hey!”

“Natalie, it’s rising! The stock is going up and up! It’s incredible! It had nearly hit its lower limit when we bought in, and now it just keeps climbing. You’re a genius.”

Natalie smiled. It was a good thing she had a sharp memory, or she would have missed this opportunity.
