She couldn’t afford to make the same foolish mistake again. Sharon’s attempt to steal Sunny’s name had opened her eyes to just how vital exclusivity truly was.

But she and Baron were bound as husband and wife.

And Baron treated her with such devotion–so much that she had no way to repay him. To raise the idea of signing a contract with Grant International Holdings now would feel like a betrayal of his trust.

Her chest tightened, her heartbeat unsteady.

Still, if she refused to sign, she would remain adrift, propped up by Grant International Holdings with no foundation of her own.

No–she wouldn’t allow herself to keep drifting.

She wanted to stand on her own!

She wanted her own brand; she would no longer be the clinging vine that survived only by relying on a man.

But how was she supposed to say that?

Baron noticed the way she hesitated, words on the tip of her tongue, and smiled.

“I have a suggestion–want to hear it?”

“Hm?”

Natalie looked up slightly.

Baron pulled out an agreement and handed it to her.

“Ms. Sunny is world–famous; everyone’s after you. So can I shamelessly use my husbandly privilege to recruit you into my company? Or–you could establish your own studio, and our Grant International Holdings could partner with it. This is the contract; take a look.”

His words brought a sting of heat to Natalie’s eyes.

Everything she wanted to say but couldn’t–he had already thought of.

Not only that; he had already paved the way for her. A studio of her very own?

The thought made her heart race. Back when she first graduated, her dream had been to build her own studio.

If not for helping Jensen, she would never have wasted so many years propping him up.

And now, Baron was the one to put her old dream into words.

Truly, whether someone loved you could be seen in the smallest details.

Her chest warmed.

“Baron… how can you be so good to me?”

“No, I’m not good. I just want to be good to you–and only you.”

His cool, slender fingers brushed away her tears; his gaze brimmed with tenderness.

Natalie clutched the contract, suddenly at a loss for words.

Baron pulled her to her feet with a smile. “I’ve already chosen the studio’s location. Want to see it?”

“I can’t run a studio all by myself.”

His

way

of taking action before she even asked left her both touched and exasperated.

Baron only laughed. “Yvonne has nothing to do at home anyway; and since she might be related to you, wouldn’t it be perfect to train her as an assistant? Besides, I trust her skills. With her by your side, I’ll feel reassured.”

“You’ve already made all the arrangements; I just don’t know if Yvonne’s even interested in design.”

Natalie didn’t mind. If Yvonne wanted to learn, so much the better.

She really did like this little sister.

But ultimately, it would be up to Yvonne to decide.

Baron squeezed her hand with a grin. “Of course, she’ll like it; she wants to learn everything. And I think I still have your senior Renee’s contact information–should I bring her in? She seems to care about you.”

Natalie truly didn’t know what to say.

:

“Baron, how do you always know exactly what I’m thinking?”

“What? I do? Then show me so I can be sure!”

He bent toward her belly, making her shriek and bolt away.

Sunlight spilled over her body like a golden glow.
