Chapter 46
Jane put her arm around Natalie’s shoulders and said, “Why is not okay? Are you underage? Or… are you worried that Adrian will be unhappy?”
“Of course not. Jane, I…” Natalie said, wanting to explain that she and Adrian had already broken up.
However, Jane interjected, “Alright then. Let’s go!”
After flashing her membership card, Jane pulled Natalie inside.
Although the Watkins family was in decline, Jane had a large savings that she had prepared before the fall of her family. As such, her financial situation now was only slightly worse than before. She also still retained memberships to private clubs and such. Perhaps the only difference was she no longer bought limited–edition clothes, shoes, and bags from luxury brands.
“By the way,” Jane said while she chalked the pool cue, “I just found out that Hailey has also been shortlisted for the interview. You have to be careful.”
“Alright,” Natalie replied with a nod. She was not surprised that Hailey would try to gain fame at the high–profile RK car show.
Both Natalie and Hailey were models. It was inevitable that they would meet and compete for jobs since they were in the same industry. Apart from the job with RK car show, there was also the gig with Top Avenue.
Jane tested the pool cue, looking somewhat satisfied. Then, she said, “Don’t underestimate her. Confront her head–on! If you lose, let me know!”
Natalie laughed. “Why should I let you know?”
Jane replied nonchalantly, “So I can beat her up! In any case, I’m all alone now. What I do won’t affect my family.”
“Jane…”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to comfort me. It’s been a long time since that incident with my family,” Jane said. She had grown numb to her sadness.
After the employee helped them set up the balls, Jane gestured to Natalie to go first.
Natalie’s skills were taught by Jane. In the past, they played together with Flora Lee, but unfortunately, it had been a long time since they saw Flora.
When Isaac left the private room with Oliver and the others, Isaac saw two beautiful women playing pool in the corner. He quickly grabbed Oliver and said, “Hey, let’s not leave yet!”
Oliver glanced at Isaac’s hand that was on his arm with a displeased expression, and Isaac quickly withdrew his hand and said, “Sorry, sorry!”
‘I almost forgot he hates being touched by others…‘
Isaac said to Oliver and Wyatt with a hint of excitement, “Those two beautiful ladies seem quite skilled. Why don’t you come with me to have a look?”
Wyatt did not understand Isaac’s behavior, but seeing how excited the latter was, he nodded reluctantly.
Oliver had no interest in watching Isaac flirt with women, but he caught sight of a figure from the corners of his eyes, He watched the woman chalk the pool cue, lean forward, frame her que, aim, and hit the balls. The series of movements were executed very smoothly.
Her dusty blue too outlined her body, catching the eyes of several men nearby.
The woman was none other than Natalie who had texted Oliver about two hours ago.
Oliver’s reaction did not escape Isaac’s notice. He could see the interest in Oliver’s gaze. He smiled and asked, “Are you coming?”
“Let’s go, Oliver said curtly.
Wyatt nudged Isaac with his elbow and whispered, “What’s going on?”
Isaac said, trying to tamp his excitement, “He’s interested in that woman.”
Wyatt took half a second before he reacted. His eyes lit up, and he asked, “The one in the burgundy dress?”
“No, the one in a blouse!” Isaac said, clicking his tongue in disapproval, “Don’t you know? He likes the charming and innocent type!”

On the other side.
Natalie’s skills could be considered good among women, but compared to Jane, she was still a novice. When Jane hit the balls, three balls fell into the pockets.
At this time, someone called out from behind, “Hey!”
Natalie turned around and immediately ran into someone. Her nose brushed against the other party’s clothing. She instinctively stepped back, and her lower back knocked into the pool table, causing her to fall back.
