My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) -
Chapter 497
Tobias did not force Natalie. He simply smiled and said, "Okay."
Natalie walked out of the president's office....
After work, Natalie got into Tobias's car.
More and more colleagues were starting to notice Natalie getting into Tobias's car every day after work. As such, more and more gossip was being spread.
Naturally, no one dared to say anything in front of Natalie.
After all, Natalie seemed to be Tobias's favorite person at the moment. Who would dare to spout nonsense in front of her?
Watching the Lamborghini drive away from the office, Lanny muttered angrily in their direction, "What right does that peasant Natalie have? How could Mr. Whitlock fall for her?"
Doris, who was by her side, comforted Lanny, "Lanny, don't think too much about it. I bet Mr. Whitlock is just toying with her."
Lanny snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Ever since the day Natalie first entered the company, she had looked down on her.
But she did not expect that the woman she despised the most would catch Tobias's interest. It made her so furious that she was about to explode!
The restaurant they went to was chosen by Natalie.
After entering the restaurant, Natalie said to Tobias, "Mr. Whitlock, can we order later? Someone else is on the way."
"Who?" Confusion passed through his eyes.
Natalie mustered up her courage and said, "My boyfriend."
Tobias sucked in a breath.
He looked straight into Natalie's eyes, "Your boyfriend?"
An air of haughtiness enveloped him.
Natalie's heart trembled slightly.
Since the first moment she saw Tobias, he had always appeared gentle and good-tempered. This was her first time seeing him truly unhappy.
If she was being frank, it was a rather frightening look.
No wonder Natalie had always heard that Tobias was cold and decisive.
She had not believed them then.
That was because the Tobias she knew always had a gentle and kind presence about him.
But at that moment, Tobias exuded an air of frigidness.
Natalie gulped and said, "Yes, Mr. Whitlock, I keep forgetting to tell you that I have a boyfriend."
Tobias's expression sharpened.
Natalie had a boyfriend?
"Aren't you single?" Tobias asked, his tone containing a trace of fury.
Natalie felt constrained.
Tobias was now scaring her.
"It happened recently. We just got together last night!" Natalie's smile became even more forced.
A piercing coldness flashed in Tobias's eyes.
Last night?
The night before, they had been in the hotel, kissing so passionately that their clothes were almost completely off. But here she was, telling him that she got a boyfriend? "Okay," Tobias's lips curled up into a cold smile. His voice was as cold as a glacier sweeping along cold wind and heavy rain, "Let's wait for your boyfriend."
He wanted to see who Natalie's boyfriend was!
Who was so brave as to steal Tobias Whitlock's woman?
Remington finally appeared before Tobias.
A look of astonishment took over Tobias's face when he saw Remington.
He looked at Natalie and asked, "He's your boyfriend?"
His every word was glum and sour.
For some reason, Natalie shivered.
Tobias's current demeanor was truly terrifying.
Initially, she had thought that getting Remington to be her pretend boyfriend would encourage Tobias to give up.
She had not anticipated his fury.
"Yes!" Natalie puffed out her chest.
She told herself not to be timid.
Although she was an employee of the YS Group, it did not mean that she was obligated to be the big boss' "wife".
She was in charge of her own marriage. What does she have to be afraid of?
Tobias's expression turned even colder.
Remington, on the other hand, was in a state of surprise.
He did not expect that the gay man who was after Natalie would turn out to be Tobias Whitlock.
Was Tobias not in the United States? Why did he suddenly return?
Weren't he and Natalie siblings?
How could Tobias possibly do that?
Did he not care about human decency?
"May I have a word with you?" Remington turned to look at Tobias.
There were some things that could not be discussed in front of Natalie.
Natalie began to worry.
What was Remington trying to do?
She stood up and whispered in his ear, "Please don't do anything stupid. The president is actually quite a nice person." Despite him trying to lure her into becoming his "wife", Natalie truly believed that Tobias was a decent human being. "I know," Remington said in a faint voice.
Tobias observed their exchange.
The man's eyes were as dark as ink, containing a sharpness so harsh it could cut through iron as if it were mud.
Inside the private booth, their voices were well cut off from the outside world.
Tobias's features were stiff and his jaw was taut. A bitter aura surrounded him, "Remington, I've warned you not to have any ideas about Natalie!"
After returning from the United States, he was completely immersed in the joy of not having any blood relation to Natalie that he had completely forgotten about Remington. But Remington had been eyeing Natalie like a prey.
The corners of Remington's mouth twitched, "Tobias, have you forgotten about your relationship with Natalie? Despite that, you still want her? Have you no dignity whatsoever?" Tobias sneered, "Don't think too much. Natalie is not my sister."
Remington looked surprised.
Natalie was not Tobias' sister?
But he had clearly heard that they were siblings the last time he was in the United States.
What was going on?
Before he could think any further, Tobias took a step forward and said, "I'm going to warn you again. Natalie is mine."
Remington retrieved his thoughts.
He gave Tobias a lazy glance, "Tobias, if Natalie truly is yours, why are you warning me?"
Tobias held his breath.
A moment later, a dark gleam surfaced in his eyes.
Remington went on, "If Natalie was really yours, you needn't warn me. She would be yours regardless. Your warning only shows your uncertainty."
Tobias's brow twitched slightly.
Remington looked at Tobias. His gaze was provocative, "If you're confident enough, why don't we compete fairly?"
"You think I don't have the confidence?" Tobias shot him a cold look.
"Well then, do you dare compete?" The provocation in Remington's eyes grew even more intense.
Tobias laughed coolly.
He did not like playing such senseless games.
But Remington's words had gotten on his nerves.
If he was indeed confident enough, why did he have to warn Remington?
"Alright." After a while, Tobias suddenly said in a deep voice, "One month. If Natalie becomes mine after a month, you will no longer have any thoughts about her." Remington raised his playful eyes and agreed, "Okay."
Natalie was waiting outside, feeling uneasy.
She had no idea what Remington and Tobias were talking about.
On one hand, she was worried that Remington would be at a disadvantage. On the other, she was worried that Tobias would be the one at a disadvantage.
After that, she reckoned that her worry was unnecessary.
Tobias Whitlock was a powerful man. He had almost scared her to death with his harshness earlier. How could such a man be taken advantage of?
As for Remington, he was as cunning as a ten-thousand-year-old fox. How could such a person be taken advantage of?
Natalie figured that it was impossible.
