The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Startled by Samuel‘s abrupt compliment, Billy left the CEO‘s office and swiftly got back to work. 

Samuel gradually rose to his feet and walked toward the window. 

Under the golden light of the setting sun, Samuel looked especially elegant and handsome in his pressed white shirt. 

He made a phone call to Natalie. 

Beep... 

The call was connected instantly, and a crisp voice traveled through the phone. 

“Hello.” 

“It‘s me, Samuel.” 

A moment of silence ensued on the other end of the line as if she was waiting for Samuel to speak first. 

“Are you free tonight? I want to meet up with you to discuss Sophia and Franklin‘s birthday.” 

“I’m busy tonight,” Natalie rejected instantly. 

“What about tomorrow?” 

“I‘m fully occupied tomorrow.” 

“The day after tomorrow?” 

“Busy as well.” 

Samuel was starting to lose his patience with Natalie. Frowning, he queried, “Okay. How about you let me know when you are free, and I‘ll rearrange my schedule to fit yours.” 

“I don‘t want to meet you.” As she said so, Natalie was at home, fanning herself with

the check with her hand. “In other words, let‘s never meet again. We can discuss Sophia and Franklin via phone call or email.” 

Samuel‘s expression darkened upon hearing that. 

He gripped the phone so hard that the veins on his arms were popping out. 

“Are you aware of what you‘re saying?” he growled out, his tone clearly irritated.

A reason? 

Natalie had indeed received the money from Yara. However, she wasn‘t required to help keep Yara‘s secret from Samuel. 

Besides, how Samuel would think of Yara after this was none of her business. 

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone. 

After a long while, Samuel‘s deep and husky male voice rang out. 

“Am I really only worth a ten million to you, Natalie?” 

The question startled Natalie, but she replied firmly, “Yes.” 

“I‘m the head of the Bowers family and the CEO of the Centurion Corporation. Since when have you become so shallow–minded?” Samuel queried. 

Upon hearing that, Natalie‘s heart skipped a beat. 

At this moment, Natalie was utterly relieved that they were not having this, conversation face–to–face. 

Otherwise, he would have noticed the clear flustered panic in her eyes. 

“Samuel, it‘s too late now.” Natalie bit her lower lip before continuing, “I have signed the agreement and received the money. I can’t breach the contract.”
