All of a sudden, she felt that the Sebastian she knew, who would gently fold laundry on the sofa, was long gone.
It made her sad to think that she might never get to see his gentle expression again Brandon was a complete stranger to her.
She took two steps back and fled the scene, The moment Natalie made her getaway, Sebastian ran after her.
Everyone present was flabbergasted and many of Natalie’s classmates were so shocked that their eyes were opened wide.
Sebastian caught up with Natalie in just a few steps.
He grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her body to him.
“You must listen to me, Natalie.”
Though his tone was aggressive, his eyes were filled with helplessness.
While clenching her teeth, Natalie lifted her head and saw his face again at closer range this time.
Needless to say, she was still shocked.
Her heart would pound faster every time when she saw Sebastian standing before her even just in his tank top.
But now, the handsome man with beautiful facial features only made Natalie feel inferior and helpless at the same time To her, he was like the stars in the sky that could only be looked at and never obtained.
“What do you want me to call you now? Mr.Larson or my husband? You kept it a secret from me for so long, Sebastian Larson!”
Natalie couldn’t help but sneer.
At this time, Garrett also quickly came over to them.
He knew that it was inappropriate at the moment, but so many partners of theirs were waiting for Sebastian, so he had to remind
Sebastian that there were people he still needed to attend to He looked at Natalie and then whispered to Sebastian, “Mr.Larson, there are so many people waiting for you.”
Sebastian’s eyes darkened noticeably.
“Why don’t you apologize to them on my behalf and change the time of the meeting?”
After having said that, he looked at the woman in front of him and pulled her into his arms again.
“Let’s go somewhere else together and solve this problem of ours,” he said in a firm tone.
“Excuse me! What… What’s going on?”
It wasn’t until Natalie was taken away that everyone realized what had happened.
“When that man strode over here and took her away just now, he looked so cool and elegant!”
Some girls had to cover their mouths in case they screamed in excitement.
Ella kept staring at the direction in which Natalie disappeared.
Like the people around her, shock was written all over her face.
When Garrett came back to the club, many partners and senior executives of the company were still shocked by Brandon’s action just now.
In their eyes, Brandon had always been a decisive and ruthless man who looked at the bigger picture.
It was inconceivable that he would leave his business partners behind and go after a woman in public like this.
“Don’t just stand here.Go inside.”
Garrett’s expression grew serious immediately.
“Mr.Larson had some personal affairs to attend to, so let’s go ahead first. We can rearrange the meeting some other time.”
Some of the senior executives of the company knew of Natalie.
Confused, they turned to Garrett for answers.
“Mr.Harding, what’s going on? What’s the relationship between Miss Quinn and Mr.Larson…?”
Garrett smiled ambiguously.
The look on Sebastian’s face just now was priceless.
For the first time, he was almost scared to death, but he had to pretend to be calm.
It was so funny.
Garrett had never seen Sebastian like this before.
He should have taken a video of his reaction : “Well, it’s exactly as you saw.”
Garrett coughed lightly and regained his composure.
“You won’t be spreading this around, yes?”
The senior executives were suddenly enlightened.
They snapped their fingers and exclaimed, “Miss Quinn is Mr.Larson’s wife?”
Garrett said nothing but.smiled meaningfully.
Everyone was shocked.
Standing in the background, Ella had also heard it clearly.
“Natalie is Brandon’s wife?”
Ella was shocked and felt like she was slapped across the face She had no idea that Natalie was married to the CEO of the Larson Group.
It was no easy feat that her husband established a cooperative relationship with the Larson Group not long ago, and he had to seriously butter Brandon up to keep the business afloat.
But she had made a fool of herself by bragging so shamelessly about her “rich husband” in front of Natalie just now.
The classmates standing next to her also had eyes as wide as saucers.
They exchanged glances, too flabbergasted to speak. Natalie had told them just now that her husband didn’t have a decent job.
But it turned out that her husband was the CEO of the Larson Group.
Wasn’t that the most decent job in the world? Some of them stole glances at Ella and clicked their tongues in secret.
Ella had been mocking Natalie just now.
Now, she must’ve felt terrible.
In a five-star hotel next to the Merry Club, the receptionist saw a handsome man coming in with a woman.
The woman was only wearing light makeup, which made her look delicate and naturally beautiful. Her most poignant feature was her eyes, but they seemed to be burning with rage at the moment.
The woman’s expression was ominously cold.
Obviously, she was holding back her anger.
It could be seen that the man had forced her to come here, Although the man looked serious, his eyes were firmly glued to the woman
After checking in, Sebastian pulled Natalie into their suite Natalie had never been to such a luxurious presidential suite before, but here she was and now she felt the whole thing was ironic She shook off Brandon’s hand and retreated a few steps away from him
“Mr.Larson, there was something you wanted to tell me?”
Natalie asked firmly, looking down at the soft carpet beneath her feet Sebastian stared at Natalie guiltily.
“Thank you for giving me the chance to explain.” Natalie raised her head and sneered coldly.
“You’re my boss, Mr.Larson.We should make things clear to each other”
Sebastian’s body stiffened.
His eyes wandered around the living room and then he walked to the nearest chair and put it in front of Natalie, motioning for her to sit down first.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Natalie stayed glued to the spot.
“I won’t bite…”
Sebastian looked at her reassuringly and found that this scene was somewhat familiar.
On the night of their wedding, he had also gotten a chair for her and said something similar.
At the time, Sebastian was lethargic and slovenly, like a hooligan.
Finally, Natalie sat down stiffly.
Sebastian loosened his tie and breathed a sigh of relief.
Placing his hands on the wine cabinet next to him, he drummed his fingers on top, as though he was thinking about what to say.
“The Klein family hates me as both Sebastian Klein and Brandon Larson.So you will definitely be in danger if they know I’m
Brandon and you’re Mrs.Larson.I originally planned to announce your identity as my wife after I defeated the Klein family.”
Natalie clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms.
Even though Sebastian’s explanation made sense, she still felt inexplicably sad.
The man standing in front of her now was graceful, gentle, yet indisputably powerful.
He was wearing an expensive suit, leather shoes, a luxury watch Natalie couldn’t help but feel like they were not from the same world.
She had grown close to Sebastian, but now she felt that there was still an insurmountable gap between them.
# A lump formed in her throat “But you lied to me, Mr.Larson.”
The words “Mi Latson” cemented the huge gap between them.
With tears in her eyes, she said, “Even if I knew your other identity, I wouldn’t have leaped at the chance to announce to the world that I am Mrs Larson I still would’ve wanted to be an employee at the Larson Group.Did you think that women have to be housewife after marrying a rich husband? Or were you afraid that I would take advantage of the situation after finding out that you are the CEO of the Larson Group? You don’t trust me, do you?”
“You misunderstand me, Natalie,” Sebastian started to say.
“I do trust you.! just feel that you will be hurt if we can’t tell the world that you’re Brandon Larson’s wife.”
