Chapter 129

Natalia shrieked, her voice cut short as a hand clamped over her mouth.

A heartbeat later, a chillingly familiar voice reached her ears.

“Why are you yelling?”

Her limbs turned to jelly almost instantly.

With a racing heart, she touched her chest before wheeling around to glare at Hamilton.

“Hamilton, are you out of your mind? What are you lurking out here for instead of being in the room?”

Hamilton gave a derisive snort and pinched her waist hard.

“Think I don’t want to be inside? How could I get in? Bust the door down?”

Natalia paused, realizing she’d forgotten to give him a key.

“Sorry, slipped my mind.”

With a glance, Hamilton pulled her into the room.

As the lights flicked on, his eyes landed on the iced latte in her hand, his expression darkening.

Natalia, preoccupied, bent down to slip off her shoes, not bothering to set aside the drink.

Hamilton stooped, snatched the latte from her grasp, and tossed it straight into the trash.

“What the hell?” Natalia blinked in surprise.

His gaze turned icy. “Got over your cold? Out on a late–night rendezvous with someone?”

Natalia bit her lip, aware he must have seen Ryan.

Hamilton yanked her wrist, pulling her close.

“Ryan, Ryan, you say it like it’s so sweet, huh?”

She looked up at him.

“Hamilton, he’s just a friend, nothing more.”

Hamilton’s eyes narrowed, and he sneered, “You’d better be right, Natalia. It’s your job to set boundaries with other men. Don’t make me remind you over and over.”

Natalia was already in a foul mood. Since meeting with Patrick, her spirits had plummeted. The recent scare had her distracted. Now, she couldn’t muster the energy to argue over such trifles. “Hamilton, only my relationship with you could be considered less than pure.”

That seemed to please him somewhat, his expression finally softening,
