CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Harrison suddenly called her. He must be calling me because of the press conference earlier today.

Knowing that there was a chance that the call would turn ugly, she asked her kids to leave.

Connor saw the incoming call on Natalie's phone. Mommy won't let us listen to this. Sighing, he pulled Sharon back to their room.

Natalie only picked up the call after the room door was closed. “Mr. Smith, can I help you with something?”

“You ungrateful child!” Harrison bellowed through the phone. Undertones of weakness in his voice made him sound a lot less imposing than he intended.

Natalie picked up the remote and switched off the TV. She answered nonchalantly, “Mr. Smith, if I were an ungrateful child, what does that make you? A horrible father?”

“Y-You,” Harrison stuttered with anger at her words. He took in several deep breaths before he was able to suppress his rage. He asked fiercely, “Why did you reveal Jasmine's real identity at the press conference?”

“Because you forced me to,” Natalie replied lightly, flicking her nails.
