Renee even considered that since Natalie wasn't skilled in these social interactions, Natalie should handle the design work in the future, while she would be responsible for dealing with these kinds of people. After all, someone as pure as Natalie was best kept from being tainted by them. Natalie didn't know why she was so reluctant to take the job; perhaps it was because the woman's surname was Gunn. She didn't know much about Baron's family, but she knew he had been kicked out of the Gunn family, and that his mother had fallen ill from anger because of them, dying young. Even though she didn't know if this Yulia was part of Baron's former family, she just felt an inexplicable aversion to serving anyone from the Gunn family. At this thought, Natalie's smile vanished. Her voice wasn't loud, but she spoke every word clearly, "I'm sorry, but I won't be taking your order." "Why?" Yulia was perplexed. Natalie said coldly, "Because your surname is Gunn. Is that reason enough?" Yulia and everyone else froze. "What's wrong with my surname being Gunn? As far as I know, the live-in son-in-law in your family also seems to be named Gunn, doesn't he?" Yulia had never imagined Natalie would refuse her for such a reason. Hearing Yulia say this, Natalie's expression turned ugly. "That surname... my husband may not even like it. If he could, he'd change it anytime. And because your surname is Gunn, I won't do business with you. Not for any price!" "Are you nuts?"Growing up, Yulia had rarely been disrespected like this. Natalie just smiled and said, "Yes, I am. Too bad you don't necessarily have the medicine I need. So, Ms. Gunn, please show yourself out." Renee had rarely seen Natalie this sharp-edged. Most of the time, Natalie was gentle and mild. While she wasn't keen on interacting with people, she wouldn't normally attack someone like this. But now, she could clearly see that Natalie was attacking this Yulia. Did they have a history? But they didn't seem to know each other when they first met. Renee couldn't make heads or tails of it. Beth returned just then with the tea. Hearing what Natalie said, she immediately stepped in front of her. "Is there something wrong with your ears, woman? Didn't you hear our designer say she won't do business with you? Why are you still here?" Yulia never expected even a cleaner to speak to her this way. She was so angry she pointed at Beth, speechless for a long moment, before finally letting out an indignant huff. "Crude! Utterly unfit for refined company." With that, she turned and stormed out. Natalie didn't try to stop her, simply having Beth close the door. She saw the curious looks from the other two and rubbed her nose, a bit embarrassed. "Why are you two looking at me like that? I just... simply don't like that woman." "Oh." Hearing Natalie say this, Renee knew she didn't want to elaborate and didn't press further."Our launch event is in three days, and our designs are complete. But we need some finishing embellishments. I checked with the factory, and they don't have this item. They said it's sold in shopping malls and that we need to source it ourselves." Renee handed the information sheet the factory had just sent over to Natalie. Natalie was the boss of the studio. While Natalie could authorize her to handle many things, she still had to respect the boss, right? Looking at the information Renee handed her, Natalie paused. "This item is indeed sold in malls. And we don't need a lot of it. I'll go check the nearby mall." Natalie was about to head out when Renee stopped her. "I should go instead. You just stay here and check if there's anything else for the launch that needs attention." Natalie knew Renee was worried something might happen to her. She couldn't help but smile. "You can't expect me to stay indoors for the rest of my life, can you? Don't worry. If bad people really want to do something to me, I'd be in danger even if I stayed in the studio..." Hearing her say this, Renee still felt uneasy. "How about you let Beth go with you?" "It's really not necessary. The mall is just next door. I'll be fine, don't worry." Natalie left the studio after speaking. Although Renee was worried, what Natalie said was true. They hadn't done anything wrong, so why should they keep hiding? At this thought, she shook her head and immersed herself in her work. After leaving the studio, Natalie saw the shopping mall nearby and decided to go browse. She felt like it had been a very long time since she had last gone shopping. Thinking of clothes for Baron, and clothes and toys for the children, Natalie decided to go on a spending spree today. She first headed to the men's clothing store.
