A Cue for Happiness

Christopher knew Natalie’s response was going to burn. Hence, he wasn’t the least bit offended by it. On the contrary, his gaze never left her as he observed all the subtle expressions on her face. “Let’s move our conversation somewhere else, shall we? Let’s go to my office instead.” Natalie gave the receptionist a meaningful glance. “Do I have the right to go up there without an appointment with Christopher?” The receptionist, who was dressed to the nines, trembled in fear as Natalie fixed her with an icy stare. “Y-Yes! Yes, of course!” Christopher’s eyes glinted coldly. How dare she try to make life difficult for my Natalie? Does she have a death wish? Before leaving for the CEO’s office with Natalie, Christopher shot Nicholas a look. The latter immediately nodded his head in acknowledgment. After Christopher and Natalie left, the receptionist’s legs gave way. She fell to the ground and begged, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Collins… I didn’t know she was a good friend of the CEO… I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, can you please give me another chance? I won’t do it again!” Nicholas crouched down in front of her and replied coldly, “It’s no use apologizing to me. You’ve offended the most important person to Mr. Christopher.” “M-Most important person?” The receptionist couldn’t believe her ears. How did that ugly woman steal the CEO’s heart? “Since you’ve offended the most important person to Mr. Christopher. Hence, you, and everyone you’ve referred into this company, will pay the price.” Nicholas then whispered something to her in a low voice. The receptionist passed out after learning the consequences even though one could barely hear what Nicholas was saying. Meanwhile, everyone else in the CEO office stared at Natalie with varying looks of curiosity and respect as she arrived at the top floor with Christopher in tow. Natalie frowned. “You could have just passed the snakeblood fruit over to Nicholas. You don’t really have to do all this since you’re such a busy man.” Anyone else would have been thrilled to be greeted personally by me, but she’s keeping her distance instead. Christopher smiled bitterly and replied, “I owe it to you to be able to have many more years after this. What is it to me if I were to spend the rest of my time with you?” This… Natalie wasn’t the only one who heard it. In fact, every employee who had passed by the CEO’s office heard it loud and clear. They were stunned. What a lunatic! Natalie felt justified calling Christopher a lunatic. All I did was cure him of his illness. Why does he have to make it sound so wrong? People will misunderstand. “Mr. Collins, can you please talk sense?” Natalie couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I am talking sense. I mean every single word I just said.” “Whatever.” Natalie pursed her lips and followed Christopher into his office. His office included the most modern furniture, the most sophisticated art, and the most luxurious decoration. It was tasteful, refined, and simple. However, the atmosphere of the room felt a little tense mainly because of its dark interior design. Christopher’s secretary served Natalie a cup of coffee and two pieces of butter cookies. The female secretary was dressed in a super short office skirt that showed off her beautiful curves and had her delicate features enhanced with clever cosmetics. Natalie could feel the hostility emanating off of her as she met eyes with the female secretary. It was as if she wanted to eat Natalie up alive. Natalie couldn’t help but sigh. Why are women still envious of me when I’ve already put on such an ugly hyper-realistic mask? “Please enjoy.” The female secretary smiled sweetly at Christopher and left. Christopher spoke up the moment she left. “You don’t like my secretary?”Chapter 225 Offended His Lover Natalie gave him a look and replied matter-of-factly, “Mr. Collins, these medicinal herbs have everything to do with me, but you don’t.”
