The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 269 A Shy Blush

Rita dashed through the corridor toward the elevator, only to be stopped by security guards stationed at the entrance.

Annoyed, she turned back, muttering, "These VIPs think they're above everyone else!"

She then made her way to the restroom.

By some twist of fate, as she wandered back along the corridor, she stumbled upon a man she admired.

He was on a call with his back to her, but his perfectly tailored suit accentuated his tall, dignified presence, exuding effortless elegance with every move.

His reflection shimmered on the glass wall of the corridor.

The lighting highlighted his sharp features-a distant gaze, a refined nose, and a faint smile that hinted at something deeper.

Rita caught sight of his face and felt an odd sense of recognition, though she couldn't place where she might have seen him.

Was it possibly in a dream?

Exiting the restroom, Corrine spotted Rita, clad in a black lace gown, gazing dreamily at

Nate.

At the sound of Corrine's approach, Nate turned leisurely, his eyes naturally finding

Corrine.

Rita, mistakenly thinking she had caught Nate's attention, felt a flutter in her chest and a blush tint her cheeks as she timidly said, “Sir...”

Corrine watched with a slight, sarcastic smile, standing calmly with her arms crossed.

She chose not to approach immediately but instead watched the unfolding scene with

folded arms.

Meeting Nate's gaze, Corrine arched her eyebrows slightly, signaling a challenge with her eyes-a chance for him to show himself.

Despite the situation, Nate's expression softened noticeably when he looked at Corrine, showing a gentle fondness and warmth.

"Sir?" It dawned on Rita that the man's attention was directed not at her but someone

behind her.

As she followed his gaze, her eyes landed on Corrine and her demeanor immediately shifted to one of hostility. "Corrine, what brings you here?"

To be fair, Corrine's simple white suit, with its high-waisted design, highlighted her elegant proportions and accentuated her innate coolness, outshining Rita's more provocative attire.

The overhead lights cast a glow on Corrine's unblemished face, where her red lips and dark hair only amplified her striking appearance.

Meanwhile, Rita's meticulously styled facade came across as overly contrived and

somewhat tasteless.

Rita's eyes flickered toward Nate, catching him watching Corrine with unwavering

attention.

Jealousy flared up inside her, feeling as though someone was laying claim to something precious to her.noveldrama

Her first impulse was to position herself protectively in front of Nate.

However, Nate, standing right behind her, said, “I have a clear view, thanks."

Ignoring Rita, he stepped forward to close the distance to Corrine.

Rita, confused, tried to grasp the meaning behind his words.

It was then that she overheard Corrine's retort. "He's saying he's not blind and you're

not the one he sees."

Stunned into silence, Rita's face turned a shade of deep red as she glared at Corrine.

At that moment, an employee came over, carrying a transparent glass box that displayed the tiara recently auctioned for a hundred billion.
