A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

“You’ve got the wrong person. He’s not Sam. He truly is Xander from the York family.” Steven explained to her patiently. “Moreover, how could Sam be here at this hour? He’s probably whispering sweet nothings to Luna right now…”

Steven trailed off toward the end as he too had been hurt.

Natalie smiled bitterly upon his words.

Could it be… I’ve got it all wrong in my drunken state? Am I so drunk that I’m taking every man who treats me right as Samuel? Steven’s right. How could Samuel be here at this hour?

“I’m sorry… I’ve had too much to drink. I’ve got the wrong person.” Natalie’s eyes dimmed with sorrow. “Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. York.”

Xander gave no response as he turned around and left.

Natalie stared at the man’s silhouette as she could no longer differentiate between illusion and reality.

Steven spoke up when he noticed that Natalie’s eyes were still glued on Xander. “Natalie, it’s my fault that I didn’t look out for you tonight. I’ll send my men to take care of that b*stard and send you home first.”
