It'll Come Naturally

Belinda really wanted to pour her glass of wine on the egocentric man sitting in front of her. Honestly, she would have already left
if the man were not the son of her father's friend. But the truth was that she was trapped here and condemned to listen to him
ramble on.
"Well, in my view, women should just stay home and tend their husbands and children, instead of working outside like some
women do. Do you agree, Miss Belinda?" The arrogant man continued his monologue, spittle flying out from his mouth.
"Um.. Maybe." Belinda answered mechanically as if she had done this a thousand times before. How miserable her life was!
She was actually thinking, 'Fuck you. We are not primitive people. Fuck the idea of women doing only house chores, never any
real work. If I were home-bound, how could I be on a blind date here with you?'
But instead of voicing her thoughts, she could only echo the man's words because her father had warned that if Belinda ruined
another blind date, he would marry her off next month to any random man.
She rolled her eyes helplessly. Was she really that old now? Why was her father always worried about her marriage? In fact, she
had enough number of men pursuing her. She had to stop listening to the man's bullshit about male superiority.
"Miss Belinda, I will help you run the company after we get married. You don't need to worry about that." The man continued,
completely ignoring Belinda's cold response.
'What the hell! I will be worried if the company is in your hands. It turns out all you are interested in is my company.' Belinda
complained to herself. She should show the man her true colors. She was not a submissive woman.
"I don't think I am your type. You want a meek wife cum housekeeper. But I am not interested in house chores. You should find
someone else. There may be the right kind of wife for you out there, but it is just not me. Besides, I already have a boyfriend."
That was the most Belinda had managed to say tonight. She couldn't stand his bullshit any longer. If her father was to blame her
for this, then so be it. These worries belonged to the future. But right now, all she wanted to do was to escape from this man.
"Miss Belinda, your father told me that you were single." The man seemed not to buy Belinda's story. He didn't think a strong
woman like her would be anyone's favorite.
"See. There he is. He is here to see me." Belinda turned around and spotted Duke entering. She saw him go in with other
people, but it was too dark to figure out who they were. But she was in desperate need of a fake boyfriend, so she ignored the
rest and waved out to Duke.

"Miss Belinda, are you kidding?" 'If that steely person was Belinda's boyfriend, I have no chance of beating him and winning over
Belinda.' the egocentric man thought to himself.
"Duke, do you know that girl with the curvy figure?" Leena saw the girl waving to Duke and asked, curiously.
"Should we go there, Edward?" Rain teasingly looked at Edward. He remembered clearly that Belinda had been quite interested
in Edward before.
Edward frowned, looked at Daisy and saw that she was not looking in Belinda's direction. Instead, she was focusing on the
bustling crowd dining there.
"Let's go. See what she is up to." Edward clasped his hands around Daisy, who seemed lost in some fantasy, and shook her
back to reality.
Duke stood in front of them. After hearing what Edward had said, he left the crowd and moved forward, but without any smile on
his cold face.
"Honey, you are finally here." At the sight of Duke, Belinda rushed into his arms without even noticing the people behind him.
After all, she needed a fake boyfriend right now. She had no time to worry about the others.
Belinda's hug shocked a lot of people. Duke too was taken aback. Since when was he this woman's honey?
"What the hell! What are you doing?" Duke tried to push her away, but that only made her embrace tighter.
"Cold Duke, help me this time. I need a favor." Belinda pleaded in low voice, afraid that Duke might reveal the truth.
"LOL... Miss Belinda, shouldn't you hug Edward? What made you change your target?" After his brief of astonishment, Rain
began to make fun of Belinda.
Rain's sudden laughter scared Belinda into letting go of Duke right away. OMG. She was too busy trying to get rid of the mega-
ego man to notice Rain's presence. Why was he here?
"Belinda, why are you here?" Daisy frowned slightly. Her interest was piqued when she heard Rain mention Edward. She was
wondering what Duke's girlfriend had to do with her husband. But it had never occurred to her that it was Belinda.
"Daisy, I miss you so much." Then Belinda pushed Duke out of her arms, shoved Edward aside and hugged Daisy. She followed
it with a big kiss on Daisy's cheek.

Edward looked at his now-vacant hands and was totally confused. What was going on? Did Belinda have a penchant for hugging
people? One moment she was calling Duke honey and embracing him tightly, and the next moment she was hugging and kissing
Daisy.
By now, Leena was staring intently at Duke, her big brother. Wow, since when did Mr. Cold have such a hot girlfriend? How come
she had never heard of it? It seemed that she would soon have a sister-in-law.
Duke still wore a cold look and glared at Leena. He knew what Leena was thinking about. But even he himself did not know what
was going on. Only God knew why Belinda suddenly jumped into his arms.
Rain stroked his chin contemplatively. He believed something was going on between Duke and Belinda. But when did they hook
up together? Why did he hear nothing about it? It was so rare to hear gossip about Duke. Maybe he could earn some bonus by
selling the news to the media.
Edward looked at the two women hugging each other. Finally, he understood why Belinda always gave him a hard time... she
was Daisy's bestie. No wonder she always had harsh words for him every time they talked. It turned out she was defending
Daisy.
