Chapitre 207: Married to his career

"Nat, do you have a minute?" Zaria asked Natalie as soon as the banquet ended. The latter was trying to take flight when she had the chance.

She turned doubtfully. "Sure. But why don't we go somewhere else? Let's not disrupt the cleaning staff."

They went to the end of a hallway where there was no one else before Natalie looked at her with probing eyes.

Zaria suddenly felt too nervous to speak. She had called Natalie on a whim but now that it was time to ask what she wanted to ask, she wondered whether the other would see it as an intrusion of privacy. She battled between bringing it up and brushing it off with a general question or some random topic. Someone exited the restrooms nearby and that snapped Zaria out of her thoughts.

"Are you having trouble with anything?" She asked and almost bit her tongue when Natalie looked shocked.

"Why would you think that?" She laughed exaggeratedly.
