Page 198 of My Tempting Woman

Richard was the first one to stand up the moment Natalia reached near the Smith brothers. Richard nudged Steve, who chuckled at his excitement. Stephen introduced Eva to Natalia

. “Miss boston, she is my wife, Eva Smith.“

Eva fixed her gaze on the girl standing in front of her, who was the epitome of beauty and grace. Although the girl wore designer clothes for the shoot, Eva somehow felt underdressed in her presence.

Natalia forwarded her hand towards her

“Hi.. Nice to meet you, Mrs Smith.“

“Same here, Miss boston,”

"Ooh, please, you don’t have to talk like Stephen. Call me Natalia

"Ok. It’s Eva for you too

“Sure Eva. So, you’re the fortunate girl. Well, you are more beautiful than you appear in "Ok.res. I saw your wedding pics

Even though Eva’s appearance was not perfect, Natalia generously complimented her, causing Eva to blush and take notice.

“Thank you, but you are prettier than me. “

Natalia smiled at her. Thank you, dear, Glad at least you thought like this about me or else your husband, Mr Stephen Smith, always used to make me doubtful about my beauty, of course with his cold behavior in college.”

Natalia, he is Richard, our friend; he is a well-known chef. “Steve introduced Richard, who was getting restless beside him. Natalia’s gaze shifted on them

Richard flashed a charming smile at her and forwarded the bouquet.

“Hi.. “

“Hello “

Natalia just held the bouquet for a minute and soon passed it to her secretary.

Richard’s face fell at the way she answered him just in one word, "hello.".

“Well then, see you at the club tonight," Natalia told Eva

“Club??” Eva and Richard asked in unison.

"Yes, Stephen, didn’t you tell them? Actually, I am only here for a day, so Stephen was generous enough to arrange a small party in the club. It also settled many of my college friends in this city , so they will also join the party. So that I could meet them all in one place. I hope to see you all there. Bye for now

Natalia completed her sentence and left for her van to change her dress for the next round of the photo session.

Eva was observing Stephen, who took no interest Natalia

But now she got confused about the club visit

Why didn’t Stephen tell me about this? Is he not willing to take me there? Or is he not attending the party? Eva overlooked her thoughts and started with her words.

“She seems to be a nice girl

“Hmm,”

“Stephen, the party... I mean, it’s ok if you didn’t want to take me along. I understand it’s like a get-together for old friends. I am ok if you wish to attend it without me.

Stephen gazed at her upset face. He wanted to calm her anxiety and clear her doubt. But for now he has to act as Steve told him

“It doesn’t matter now, as now she invited you too, so be ready on time."
