Chapter 1028 Coward
Samuel saw the seriousness in Natalie’s eyes. Of course, I knew how she felt about me. It’s just that I never thought the poison in me would relapse one day after staying dormant all these years.
Despite the profound affection in his heart, he resigned himself to his fate with the passage of time.
Not knowing what to say, Samuel pressed his lips to hers as he found himself drowning in desolation.
The kiss was so gentle that it was engraved in her bones.
They did not express their feelings out loud, but their kiss had revealed too much grief and longing.
When their lips finally separated, Natalie blinked away the sadness in her eyes and put on a smile. “It’s my fault today. I promise this will be my last time saying anything depressing. After today, we’ll spend every day in our lives happily together.”
Samuel ruffled her hair lovingly and cooed, “Okay, I’ll listen to everything you say.”
“Ms. Leitz asked to meet with me tonight…” She paused to glance at the clock hanging on the wall. “It’s almost time. I have to go now, or I’ll be late.”
“Ms. Leitz?” The man narrowed his eyes. What Ms. Leitz? Which Ms. Leitz?
“Ms. Helma from the Leitz family.” Natalie continued, “I think she wants to meet me to discuss the custom-made jewelry for the banquet. Maybe she changed her mind about our previous agreement and wants to tell it to me face to face.”
Samuel had always been respectful about her work, so he would not interfere with all her business affairs. Yet, that time, he voiced, “Did Ms. Leitz give you a call personally?”
“No.” Natalie shook her head. “It was her subordinate, I think.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
“I don’t think there’s a need for that,” she said, thinking it would be troublesome for him. “Even though you have Steven managing the Bowers Corporation in your stead, you can’t be my driver the entire day. It’s a waste of talent!”
Samuel’s eyes darkened. “I’ll not only accompany you today…”
The subordinate who stood beside her was terrified and asked hesitantly, “Ms. Heidi, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to make a move on her secretly. After all, she’s Ms. Helma’s friend.”
Heidi picked up her fork and stabbed it toward her subordinate’s eye.
“Ah!” her subordinate shrieked instinctively.
However, the fork halted less than a centimeter from the subordinate’s eyeball.
“What a coward!”
Seeing the frightened look on her subordinate’s face, Heidi felt thrilled and laughed gleefully.
“What are you scared of? No one will know I’m the mastermind as long as everything wraps up smoothly.” Heidi looked toward the screen with a sharp gaze while a bloodthirsty grin played about her lips. “Stop behaving so timidly! You’re so useless!”
