“What are you going to do after you move out?”
‘It’s none of your business. Mr. Larson!”
As Natalie canned the folded clothes, she tried to grab the suitcase from him
“Where am I supposed to go? I don’t even have any idea It’s going to cost a lot of money to find a new apartment, and that’s money I don’t have at the moment I’ve given most of my saving to Tyler,’ she thought
It was almost impossible to rent an ideal apartment nearby her workplace. Because of her current financial situation, her salary wouldn’t be enough to cover both rent and living expenses. Natalie hadn’t thought about what to do next at the moment.
Should I really get divorced? Should I resign and leave the Larson Group for good?’
Things didn’t seem to be that serious, but she had blurted out some unpleasant words when she was angry She couldn’t just take back what she said now. Seeing as Natalie was still fuming with rage, Sebastian stared at her in silence for a long time before he found his voice
“You can get mad at me all you want, but you can’t leave. I’m not going to let you leave” He refused to let go of the suitcase. He straightened himself up, and lifted the suitcase, intending to take it away
“Don’t think I’m going to forgive you that easily!” Natalie pursed her lips while staring at the clothes in her hand. It seemed as though she was determined to go through with this. She glared at Sebastian for a long time, uncertain of what to say. Finally, she grabbed all of her clothes and belongings from the sofa and brought them into the room. She shut the door behind her and decided to ignore him !
Sebastian, on the other hand, took a deep breath
For now, the situation was still under his control. At the very least, Natalie wasn’t going to move out anytime soon.
The sadness in his heart diminished, but he knew full weil that the problem was yet to be solved. : Sebastian clenched the suitcase handle and put it down. He carefully took all of Natalie’s stuff out of the suitcase and put them back where they used to be
Once Natalie was inside the room, she wanted to find out what Sebastian was doing outside, so she opened the door quietly. Outside, she saw him carefully putting away her stuff before taking off his coat and doing household chores. Sebastian was the CEO of the Larson Group. There was no need for him to do such menial labor. As a matter of fact, he had changed so much for her.
Natalie closed the door again and leaned against it, feeling a lump in her throat
After that encounter, she didn’t speak to Sebastian againShe wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do. Right now, all she wanted to do was to be alone and at peace.
Whenever she was frowning, she looked really unapproachable
Sometime later, Natalie was able to stay calm and assess her situation.
‘I’ve been living a happy life with Sebastian ever since we’re married is all of this gaing to be ruined just because of a lie?”
Truthfully, she didn’t want to give up on their relationship, but the fact that he had lied to her really bothered her a lot
Sebastian was cautious around Natalie, for fear of irritating her again. He was finding it difficult to understand women more and more. Most of the time, she would ignore him. But all he could do was tolerate her behavior for now and carefully observe her.
Natalie spent the entire day inside the room, forgetting that she had to go to work today.
She had thought it over later, and decided to just go to work tomorrow. Whether she liked it or not, she’d have to decide if she still wanted to continue working for the Larson Group or not.
It was imperative that she dealt with the matter of her job properly. She was well aware that she couldn’t just skip work for the rest of her life just because of this matter.
Natalie returned to the Larson Group’s headquarters the next morning .She heard some people laughing inside the design department. But the second they saw her come in, an ominous silence ensued in the room Everybody else in the office realized that there was a tension in the room, so they all glanced at the door
“Hey! Shut up! Can’t you see that Natalie is here already?”
“Wait… Is Natalie the one who’s secretly married to Mr. Larson?”
“Who else could it be?”
Natalie could hear them whispering among each other, and they all sounded surprised.
Deciding to ignore them, she went to her seat and sat down as if nothing happened.
When Gerda saw Natalie, she poked her head out and went to the latter’s seat Visibly excited, she said, “My queen! You’re finally back! Everyone in the company is shocked to hear the news about you and Mr. Larson!” Natalie could tell from the look on Gerda’s face that the latter was excited.
“Who spread the news?” she asked.
Gerda had no idea either.
“When I arrived at the company yesterday, everybody was already discussing that you’re the CEO’s wife. Someone even took a video of Mr. Larson chasing after you!”
When Natalie looked around, the people inside the department fell into deeper silence. The air felt tense and it get worse with every passing second.
The moment she entered the company building earlier, she could sense that people were looking at her differently Some were curious, others were confused. But most of them were giving her a modicum of respect, and were cautious around her. It seemed that the entire company already knew that she was Brandon’s wife.
“Everyone’s scared of you now!” Gerda declared as she looked around
Natalie burst into laughter.
“Why would they be scared? Do they think I’m going to bite their heads off or something?” Gerda winked at her and replied, “It’s because of your conflict with Patty. It didn’t end well, did it? Didn’t you feel that everyone was keeping their distance from you at the time?”
“Of course, I did! Patty’s boyfriend is a department head of our company. I can understand why everyone chose to side with her,” Natalie responded.
It was difficult to keep healthy interpersonal relationships in the corporate world. In their world, any common fool who would go up against someone who had connections, someone like Patty, would just be asking for trouble
“Well, that’s the point! Since you’re the wife of the boss, you’re completely different in everyone’s eyes now. They’re all nervous around you, because they’re scared you’ll take revenge on them,” Gerda remarked with glee.
She wasn’t a sensitive person, and she had always been on Natalie’s side. Thus, she wasn’t nervous around her. As a matter of fact, this turn of events excited her. Natalie lowered her head and said, “I’ve already got a lot on my plate now. I don’t have time to waste seeking revenge on everyone.”
Gerda pouted. “They just feel guilty. Putting that aside… What the hell, Quinn? How could you hide the fact that you’re Mr. Larson’s wife from us?”
A bitter smile appeared on Natalie’s face. ‘How am I supposed to answer that question? I don’t even know the answer, myself.’
Although it was quiet in the design department, all eyes were on Natalie. Just as she was feeling unsettled, someone gave her a pat on the shoulder from behind.
“Quinn, can I see you in my office?”
Tiffany stood behind Natalie, crossing her arms. She looked as calm as ever, and she acted like she always did.
Natalie warily followed Tiffany into her office “Miss Fisher, is this about me asking for another leave yesterday?”
Natalie bit her lower lip. She was aware that she had been asking for leaves too frequently lately. Sitting cross-legged on the sofa,
Tiffany couldn’t help but giggle.
