Christopher smiled, hiding the joy in his eyes.It had been several years since he last saw Natalie.

She was more beautiful and graceful than she was at school.Her eyes were bright like the stars, and

her delicate features made him like her at a glance.

Christopher couldn’t deny that he had never forgotten her over the years.

But he didn’t take the initiative to ask her out right away.He had been very immature in college.

That was perhaps why Natalie had rejected him.He couldn’t stand another rejection.

Now that they worked in the same company, he felt he had the chance to win her heart.

“All right, let’s have dinner sometime so that you can return my favor, okay?”

“Okay.But I’m busy lately.How about next month?”

Natalie wanted to wait until she got her salary.She had to cover Hannah’s medical expenses, so she

couldn’t afford to spend money on casual dinners.

Chester smiled.

“No hurry.I’m free any time.How about I show you around the company?”

“Okay.Thank you, buddy.”

The smile on her face vanished as she followed him into the elevator.

In the elevator stood another man who had a charming smile.

“We meet again, Miss Quinn.”

With a faint smile on his lips, Garrett glanced at Natalie and Christopher.

“Good morning, Mr.Harding,” Natalie lowered her head and greeted him respectfully.She didn’t expect

to meet Garrett again so soon.

“Did you encounter any problems after that?” Garrett pressed the button to the tenth floor and smiled at

Natalie.

Natalie didn’t expect him to ask about it.

After all, they had met only once.

The deputy CEO of the Larson Group seemed to care a lot about their employees.

“No.Everything’s fine.Thank you for asking, Mr.Harding.” Natalie smiled politely.

Garrett glanced at Christopher, who was standing beside Natalie.

“Who is this gentleman?”

“Mr.Harding, my name is Christopher Garrison.If she encounters any problem, I will help her.Please

rest assured.”

Christopher’s eyes gleamed with concern as he looked at Natalie.

Garrett was a smart man.He could see everything clearly.

The smile on his face dropped in an instant.

Just then, the elevator door opened.

Garrett walked out with a meaningful look on his face.

Natalie and Christopher seemed to be close.

Garrett felt someone was going to be unhappy after knowing this.

When it was time to get off work, dark clouds blocked the sunlight, and the sky became gloomy. Natalie

and Christopher walked out of the building, laughing together.

The handsome man and the beautiful woman seemed to attract the attention of the people around.

Everyone wondered if they were fashion models of the company.

Sebastian was sitting in a car at the corner of the street.His gaze was fixed on the two people afar.He

didn’t look away until Natalie and Christopher disappeared out of sight.

“See? I didn’t lie to you.”

A smile emerged on Garrett’s face as he stirred up trouble with a sense of schadenfreude.

Sebastian couldn’t know why, but he was extremely upset.He opened the door and got out of the car.

“It’s none of your business.Stay out of it,” he snapped, his eyes blazing with rage.

After parting with Christopher, Natalie took a shortcut to the next street to catch the bus.

As soon as she entered an alley, someone patted her shoulder.

“Where are you going, babe?” called a cold voice.

The man’s voice sounded familiar.

Natalie turned around and saw Sebastian standing behind her.

“Gosh, how could you call me that way in a public place?” Natalie frantically looked around as a blush

flamed her cheeks.

Fortunately, no one else heard him.

“I’m just talking to my wife.I didn’t break the law.”

Sebastian smiled and playfully pinched her cheek.Then, he took Natalie’s bag and walked beside her.

“What are you doing here?” Natalie changed the topic.

“I was just taking the same route and saw you walking with a man.I thought you were going to a hotel

to have fun with him.”

Sebastian’s blatant words made her blush again.She was so angry that she slapped Sebastian’s

shoulder.

“Don’t talk nonsense.Chris and I were schoolmates.Didn’t I tell you about Elaine a few days ago? I

guess it was Chris who helped me get the job.”

Sebastian stopped in his tracks.Natalie’s words infuriated him.He had specially asked Garrett to deal

with the issue, and the man had laughed at him for that.But in the end, she thought her schoolmate had

helped her.Sebastian sneered at her.

“Christopher’s family isn’t powerful enough to influence the company’s decision.What makes you think

the Larson Group hired you because of him or whatever he had said?”

“Whoa! Calm down.How could you be so sure? Do you know the Larson Group well?” Sebastian’s

remarks amused her.She looked up at him and saw the unhappiness on his face.Her questions had

rendered Sebastian speechless.

A frown lined his forehead — he couldn’t reveal more information.

“I often hang out with people who work there so I know a thing or two about it,” he said, trying to hide

his disappointment.

“You’re a married woman.Even though we’re only a nominal couple, you still have to maintain a

distance from other men.”

Sebastian’s possessiveness surprised her.

“Chris and I were schoolmates; now, we are colleagues.Our relationship won’t go beyond that.”

Biting her rosy lower lip, Natalie looked into Sebastian’s eyes.

Thinking that he might misunderstand her dynamic with Christopher, she explained, “I just met him

when I walked out to get some coffee.We just hung together for a while — that’s it.”

Looking down at her head, Sebastian smiled and touched her silky hair.

“All right.I see.Don’t keep your head down.Look at the road.”

Natalie’s flushed cheeks somehow made her look prettier.

The two walked to the bus stop.

Natalie fumbled inside her bag, looking for coins.

Sebastian glanced at the rows of buses in front of him and asked, “Are we going home by bus?”

“Of course.Our home is a long drive from here.It’s too expensive to take a taxi home.”

Finally, she took out two coins from her wallet and placed them on Enoch’s palm.

“Here you are.”

Sebastian’s brows furrowed as he looked at the coins.

“You are the precious daughter of the Quinn family.Why are you hesitant to even take a taxi home?”

Sensing the suspicion in his tone, Natalie clutched the wallet tightly.She had almost forgotten that she

was playing the role of spoiled Cassie now.

“I used to spend whatever money I have, so I don’t have any savings.I’ve been at odds with my parents

lately, so I don’t want to ask them for money.I’m broke now,” she lied, hiding her nervousness.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she averted her gaze.
