Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 324

"Have you seen him yet?" Nathan asked with a knowing grin.

"Oh, thanks to you, I've crossed paths with him a few times," Nathalie replied, keeping her tone deliberately vague. She didn't want to stir the pot between Mason and Nathan, so she kept her emotions tightly under wraps.

"Hmph." Nathan's grunt of discontent left it unclear whether it was aimed at Nathalie or Mason.

Nathalie awkwardly fiddled with her nose. She felt Nathan had put her on the spot.

Right then, Greta showed up, aiming to catch the elevator down. She ended up waiting by the elevator doors with Nathalie and Nathan.

The chill Nathan exuded was hard to miss, and Greta picked up on the tension between him and Nathalie. It oddly delighted her. She watched them with sharp attention.

Trying to ease the tension, Nathalie said, "Mr. Nathan, I'm sorry for leaving without a word. Please forgive me."

Nathan's anger flared at the formal address. "Mr. Nathan? Really? You're going with Mr. Nathan now?" He chuckled sarcastically.

Greta jumped in to add fuel to the fire. "Nathalie, even if Mr. Nathan is younger, he's way out of your league in status and wealth. You should stick to his last name."

Nathan and Nathalie shot her a look that needed no words.

Nathan retorted, "Greta, my business is none of yours." His disdain for Greta was palpable.

Nathan's head jerked up, his earlier pout vanishing. "Nathalie, if they give you trouble, you've got to tell me. I'll have your back."

Nathalie smiled warmly. "Don't worry. I've got it covered."

She turned her concern to him. "Your granddad's trying to match you with Ashley. I think you two could be a great fit. She's smart, gorgeous, and straightforward. Plus, she comes from a family just like yours. You'd have loads in common. And it seems she really cares about you. Nathan, good matches aren't easy to find. Why not give her a shot? She might be your perfect match."

Nathan's eyes dimmed a bit. "Nathalie, I'm only 19. Isn't it too soon to dive into all that romance stuff?"

Nathalie chuckled. "I get it. You're all about the hustle right now. Just mull over what I've said. And be kind to Ashley, okay?"
