Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Once the onlookers dispersed, Naomi felt her legs weak. She leaned against the nearby wall.

“Miss Clark,” she carefully chose her words, concerned about hurting Natasha's pride. “Andrea is very strong.

Perhaps you should look at her past work first? You know, it's always good to know your competition.”

If it didn’t work out, they could think of countermeasures carly.

Although those solo dances didn’t meet Sophia’s expectations, it didn’t mean Andrea wasn’t good. It was more

about stylistic differences.

The performance Natasha scheduled required her and the second female lead Andrea coached to compete on

the sstage.

Not only did one have to dance well, but also outperform the opponent on stage. That was a different concept

from solo dancing.

Natasha looked at her, smiled, and asked, “Don’t you have confidence in us?”

She added, “You weren't like this back hbefore. When facing Olivia, you were incredibly assertive, daring to

confront her even without a strong background.”

Naomi paused.

Lately, she had been outwardly cheerful, but she was actually under a lot of pressure.

This opportunity was too important for her. She was cautious in every aspect, didn’t dare speak up even when

wronged, didn’t dare voice her opinions, and was indeed living a stifled life.

Yet, previously in her professional field, she was known for her assertiveness and pride.

Her mental state was not ideal for a stage performance. No wonder Andrea always found fault with her.

Natasha smiled and gave Naomi a dose of reassurance, “Don’t worry. Have you forgotten? While it's a

competition, this round also requires cooperation.”

Naomi suddenly had a moment of clarity and sharply turned to look at Natasha.

Natasha smiled and nodded.

Naomi was convinced. She realized why Natasha had insisted on choosing such a complicated round.

On stage, while the female lead and second female lead were rivals, they didn’t truly perform in isolation once

the show began.

They competed through collaboration. Neither one could completely dominate the other, nor could they be so

harmonious that their individual strengths were indistinguishable.

In this back-and-forth dynamic, it was destined that she and Natasha would work with Andrea and her second

female lead for the next three days.

Prejudice often cfrom unfamiliarity.

No matter the final outcome, if Natasha choreography and skills were not recognized within these three days,

they would have no complaints even if they withdrew from the dance

troupe.

Conversely, if both parties could successfully adapt to this forced arrangement within these three days, the win-

loss outcwould becless crucial.

Naomi stood up straight, her eyes gleaming brightly. “We can definitely do it.”

Natasha made a gesture. “So, good luck?”

Naomi smiled brightly. “Go for it!”

Knowing Natasha was given a hard ton her first day at the dance troupe, Sadie was furious.

She had previously grumbled about Alexei’s crude habit of throwing money around, but now she wished she

could just shower the dance troupe with cash.

Natasha finally managed to soothe her, saying, “Don’t worry, I'm confident. We might not win, but there's a good

chance we won't lose.”

If this hurdle passed smoothly, her work efficiency would greatly improve.

Completing the dance troupe’s work earlier might even allow her to return hsooner.

Alexei naturally learned about her bet with others.

He touched her face through the screen, asking, “Are you tired?”

Neither Natasha nor Andrea were procrastinators. All four of them met that afternoon.

For the choreography of this scene, Natasha and Andrea had several more disputes, and

Natasha's voice was almost hoarse when she returned.

While they argued at work, Andrea's attitude towards her and Naomi softened considerably when they went

home.

Her body was tired, but the feeling of working with top peers in her favorite field was exhilarating,

Of course, when with her boyfriend, Natasha still acted sweet. “I'm tired, | miss you.”

Alexei smiled. “Should | cand join you?”

Natasha had only been gone for a few days, but he just felt that nothing was right.

There was no sound in the room, the bed wasn’t soft enough, the food wasn’t tasty, and even Daron didn't like

going out for walks anymore, eating one less bowl! of dog food every day.

Listening to his complaints, Natasha chuckled.

“Alexei,” she said from her bed, poking the face on the screen with her finger. “Why are you so clingy?”

Alexei felt no shat all, “What's wrong with being clingy to my girlfriend? If possible, | want to stick by your

side every moment.”

“How should we stay connected?” Natasha suddenly asked.

The two met eyes across the screen. Natasha had a mischievous smile, and Alexei immediately understood her

meaning.

He said, “Natasha, you did that on purpose.”

It was nighttfor her, but he was working in his office in broad daylight.

She was teasing him like this just to see him embarrassed.

She only dared to be so cheeky because she wasn’t by his side.

Natasha saw that he finally understood and let out a muffled laugh.

She was deliberately teasing Alexei. It served him right for how he had bullied her before.

Since she couldn’t compete with him physically, she could at least have her fill verbally, Anyway, Alexei couldn't

drag her back to bed and teach her a lesson now.

Distance was the best protection.

Nestled in her blanket, with her face resting on the pillow, Natasha smiled and playfully retorted, “Only those

with dirty minds hear everything as dirty.”

Alexei was dumbfounded, wanting to pinch her face but unable to reach. “Who's the dirty- minded one, then?”

Natasha's voice was sweet as honey, “Of course, it’s you. Alexei.”

Alexei genuinely felt the office chair beneath him was burning hot.

He ground his teeth. ‘Natasha, just you wait!"

Alexei stared at Natasha with her bright face and charming smile. His eyes were dark and full of intense emotion.

But he knew well that if he were to really rush to Nornytaar tonight, his pampered darling would complain again

about being too tired, too sore, and unable to eat.

She was simply sent by fate to wear him down.

But in such matters, how could Alexei, who always had the upper hand, possibly lose?

He gave a meaningful smile and said, “Baby, you keep teasinglike this. Do you realize what I'll do when | get

htonight?”

Natasha paused. “Do what?”

Alexei smiled. “What did | take withwhen | went abroad?”

Natasha instantly recalled the small, mangled piece of clothing she had found when packing his suitcase on

Natasha kicked her legs under the covers.

Alexei smiled. He loosened his tie, watching her face, crimson beneath the covers, with amusement in his eyes.

Sure enough, Natasha was all talk, acting so capable when teasing others.

But once the “enemy” counterattacked, she couldn’t handle it.

Alexei was not quite finished. He

A “thud” sounded.

It wasn’t Natasha's reply. It was Shawn's documents dropping to the floor.

Shawn, who had just pushed open the door, looked utterly shocked.

He never expected that a professional office like this could be used for such intimate behavior by the couple.

Shawn felt that Alexei’s lofty image in his mind had gradually collapsed.

He also subtly felt a sense of crisis, fearing he might be silenced.

As soon as Natasha heard an outsider, she shyly and hastily hung up the video call.

On the other hand, Alexei, as if nothing had happened, gave a chilling look to Shawn, who had finally managed

to compose his expression.

Alexei asked, “What is it?”

Shawn cleared his throat, quickly resuming his professionalism as a senior assistant. “Mr. Turner, the Westwood

family is here.”

The Westwood family, Alexei’s stepmother Teri's family.
