Samuel approached Natalie and positioned the umbrella above her head.
“Did it go well?” he asked with a smile.
“Yeah, quite well. You didn't get bored, did you?” She chuckled.
“Why would I be bored waiting for you?” Samuel stared at Natalie lovingly and continued, “The rain's getting heavy again. We should hurry back to the car, else we risk getting soaked.”
“Okay.” She nodded and stepped out of the Leitz residence.
His umbrella followed her closely and didn't let even a single drop of rain land on her.
Even though the small pools of water on the ground were constantly disturbed by the rain, she didn't seem at all bothered by the storm.
It was as though she was detached from reality and that Samuel was the only thing in her world.
Natalie felt like her heart was gently ruffled by feathers as tears filled her eyes.
There were more downs than ups in her turbulent, obstacle-ridden life. However, when she was being loved and cared for by him, she felt like none of that mattered.
It wasn't until Natalie entered the vehicle that Samuel closed the umbrella and sat in the driver's seat.
Heidi had been staring at him unblinkingly. Even as the Hummer left and disappeared from her sight, she still didn't look away. He's gone? God, I felt like my soul was almost sucked away by him! He's too... handsome! He's the most handsome man I've ever seen! It's a shame I didn't have enough time
to learn his name and background or exchange a sentence with him! Still, even through the rain, I've already fallen for him...
As she exited the car, her assistant held up an umbrella for her.
When she thought about Samuel's gentleness while holding the umbrella and then glanced at her assistant's mediocre appearance, she felt irked.
At that moment, all she felt about her assistant was that he was ugly, stupid, and didn't fit her ideal image of a perfect man.
“Give me the umbrella!” Heidi exclaimed with annoyance.
“Eh?” The assistant still hadn't reacted to the situation yet.
“Idiot!” Heidi snorted and grabbed the umbrella from her assistant's hand, leaving him in the rain. “Didn't you hear what I said? Just looking at you makes me feel annoyed!”
The assistant had no idea why she was suddenly behaving like that. He was completely drenched in the storm and couldn't even open his eyes, but he didn't have the guts to complain about the arrogant daughter of the Leitz family.
After Heidi arrived inside her house, she handed the wet umbrella to a nearby butler.
“Ms. Heidi...” the butler greeted politely.
Helma was very famous in Yaleview, yet barely anyone knew about Heidi.
They weren't born to the same mother. Helma was the daughter of Geert's official wife while Heidi was an unplanned child he had when he was young.
When Geert was a young man, he had an awful experience due to his exile. It was thanks to Heidi's mother that he managed to survive multiple times. After he returned to the Leitz family, he lost contact with her. It took nearly two years before he found the daughter he had with her and named the daughter Heidi Leitz as a sign of official recognition.
He felt he owed Heidi too much. While Heidi couldn't enjoy all the benefits Helma possessed, he did love her a lot and gave her almost anything she wanted.
Heidi asked impatiently, “Tell me, who is that man?”
“What man?” The butler was dumbfounded.
“The one who held an umbrella for the woman earlier!”
“Which man?” The butler shook his head. “Forgive me for not knowing, Ms. Heidi.”
“Then what about the woman? You should know who she is, right?” Heidi questioned in agitation. “I saw her walk out of the building earlier. There's no way my family will allow a stranger to walk in or out of this place as they please.”
While the butler knew nothing about Samuel, he did know about Natalie, so he answered, “The woman is the chairwoman of Dream Jewelry, Natalie Nichols.”
