A Cue for Love novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 Not The Place For You

Natalie vividly remembered the promise she had made to Christopher.

“I do.”

“I would like you to fulfill your promise. Come celebrate my birthday with me today.”

Natalie was taken aback. She was under the impression that her part of the deal would involve her medical skills as opposed to the pleasure of her company.

Since she was the one to have cured the pulmonary disease he had lived with since birth, Natalie was certain that Christopher knew better than anybody the extent of her medical prowess.

A condition in exchange for a life seems reasonable. It is surprising that Christopher would cash that in just for me to spend time with him.

Sensing her hesitance, Christopher added, “You're awfully silent. Does that mean you're going back on your promise?”

“Not at all. Are you sure that that's all you want?”

“Yes, that's all I want,” Christopher said solemnly despite the satisfied smirk he wore. “I will send you the details of the party in a bit. Be there at seven-thirty tonight, will you?”

“See you then.”

“By the way,” Christopher added before hanging up, “Put on something nice, please.”

Natalie stared at her phone with a frown.

I will make it to the party just to fulfill my promise to him. I hope that there won't be any hidden surprises.

The afternoon flew by with Natalie's attention being completely taken up by her consultation duties over at Major Crimes Unit. Before she knew it, it was time for her to get off work to prepare for the party that evening.

In accordance with the directions left for her, Natalie arrived before the doors to a private room of the Moonlight exactly at the aforementioned time.

Standing before the door with her hand tentatively raised, Natalie was deciding whether or not she should knock when it was suddenly opened from within.

Other than her oddly clear and mature pair of eyes, she looks plain to me. Rather disappointing. I was wondering what kind of beauty would cause Christopher to behave that way.

Natalie wrenched her wrist out of his grip and followed the men into the private room before realizing that there were three other guests, two men, and a woman, already present.

Their expressions were similar to Joshua's when they caught sight of her.

“Everybody,” Christopher announced when they were all seated, “this is Natalie.”

Without another word to explain her origins, all of the guests gazed at Natalie with a knowing smile.

The private room that they were in was full of liquor and entertainment.

Christopher poured Natalie a glass of wine. “I asked you to dress up and you show up in a sweater and jeans?”

“This isn't good enough for you?” Natalie replied. “Deal with it.”
