My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 513

Natalie retrieved her thoughts and forced herself not to think about Remington anymore.

The janitor at Natalie's office had recently been replaced.

The previous cleaning lady had resigned, and the new one was a woman in her forties.

Her name was Merry Lee.

The auntie was cheerful and talkative, often exchanging small talk with employees in the corridor.

Once, when handling the garbage in the office, she got some on Natalie by accident. Natalie did not get mad, instead she just smiled and brushed it off. That incident left Merry with a good impression of her.

It did not take long for the two to become friends.

"By the way, Natalie, do you have a boyfriend?" Merry suddenly asked one afternoon.

Although she was just a cleaning lady, she was a good judge of character. She could see that Natalie was thoughtful, and she liked her very much.

It just so happened that one of her nephews was single.

As soon as she finished speaking, strange looks appeared in Natalie's colleagues' eyes.

Natalie's relationship with Tobias was rather puzzling.

Natalie was a little embarrassed.

She scratched her head, "No."

Merry's eyes lit up as she grinned delightfully, "I have a nephew, he's handsome and is 1.8 meters tall. He even graduated from Chaleston University. He should be one or two years older than you. How about you think about it?"

Natalie was even more embarrassed to hear that.

Was Merry actually trying to set her up on a blind date?

She waved her hand and refused politely.

Merry did not give up and pressed, "Natalie, you should consider him. My nephew is a really good person. You've reached the age of marriage, you must really think it through."

Merry's last sentence stirred up something in Natalie's mind.

Indeed, she had reached the age where most people got married.

But she did not even have a boyfriend.

Natalie considered herself a traditionalist who upheld traditional values, and she did not wish to end up a spinster.

However, a blind date...

The idea seemed rather odd to her.

Thus, Natalie still decided to decline Merry's offer.

After work, Tobias took Natalie back home.

After spending a whole day busy at the office, Natalie's initial embarrassment had eased.

During the car ride home, Natalie said, "Mr. Whitlock, please send me back to my apartment."

Tobias raised his eyebrows, "What are you going there for?"

Natalie smiled dryly, "Mr. Whitlock, the issue with the contract has been settled anyway. Since there's nothing for me to compensate for, I won't have to go to your house to be a nanny anymore, do I? I think it's best for me to return to my own place."

It was true that she liked Hayden, and that she was willing to take care of him.

But she was afraid that what had happened that morning would repeat itself again.

If she touched something that she should not again, she might have to jump off a building.

Tobias's eyes narrowed slightly, the shadow of a glint appearing.

The night before, he slipped and told Natalie that he had solved the problem with the contract.

But he did not expect that she would want to leave.

"That won't do." Tobias's reply was direct.

Natalie's eyes widened, "Why, Mr. Whitlock? I don't have any debts to pay, do I?"

"What did you call me?" Tobias arched a brow.

"Mr. Whitlock."

"I'm your boss, then?"

"That's right."

"So you should do what your boss tells you to, right?"

And it was all thanks to Merry.

The day before, her colleagues overheard Merry's attempts at matchmaking, and word spread immediately.

After all, Natalie sat in Tobias's car every day, and the news about him firing an employee for her had already reached the ears of many.

Someone close to Merry also mentioned it to her.

However, as it was related to the private affairs of the YS Group's president, they did not feel comfortable explaining in detail, and so they ended up speaking in very vague terms.

Ultimately, Merry did not understand what they were trying to say.

She repeatedly mulled it over, then came to the conclusion that people were gossiping about Natalie because she was still single at that age.

She was rarely wrong about a person. She knew that Natalie was a good girl, and that she would not get herself tangled up with an executive.

As soon as Natalie arrived at the office, Merry pulled her into the breakroom.

"Natalie, do you know that everyone is gossiping about you?" Merry asked, looking distressed.

Natalie's face was blank, "What kind of gossip?"

"They're saying that you're having an affair with some senior executive, and that the man fired a fellow colleague for you." Naturally, Merry's acquaintance dared not explain too clearly as the matter was related to Tobias, but Merry was not aware that the man in question was actually the big boss himself. She figured that he was just a senior executive of YS.

Upon hearing what she said, Natalie quickly understood what Merry meant.

Tobias!

Everyone was saying that she was having an affair with Tobias.

Natalie felt light-headed, "That's nonsense."

Tobias had a son, and he was gay. How could she get into an entanglement with him?

If anything, Tobias and Benjamin would be the ones having an affair.

Seeing Natalie's reaction, Merry knew that her guess was spot-on.

She patted Natalie's hand and said, "Natalie, I know you're a good girl, and you won't get yourself into such messy situations."

She paused, then continued sternly, "You're still young, so you're still unaware of how cruel society can be. Gossips can be a scary thing. Seeing as how you don't have a boyfriend at this age, once they see you getting close to someone, they'll start spreading rumors. You have to take this seriously."

Natalie's breathing stopped.
