Chapter 294: Busy With The Mistress

The banquet continued, with everyone eagerly waiting to see if the NextEra CEO would arrive, even if there was the slightest chance of his appearance. Meanwhile, they enjoyed drinks and conversations.

Natalie was seated at one of the tables, frequently glancing at her cellphone while sipping wine, her expression far from pleased.

"Stop staring at your phone already," Mia said with a frown. "It’s not like he’s going to jump out of it if you keep looking."

In response, Natalie downed the wine in her glass in one gulp and slammed it onto the table. She signaled a server and picked up two more glasses of wine.

"Slow down! You’ve already had enough," Mia warned. "Once he returns, you can take your revenge. But don’t get wasted at such a big party. You have an image to maintain as a CEO."

"My ass!" Natalie retorted before finishing another glass.

"Craving for a spanking?" Mia teased, chuckling. "I’ll let your husband know you’re asking to have your back broken."

Natalie scoffed mockingly. "He... he never broke my back."

"What? You mean you two haven’t done it at all?" Mia asked, her eyes widening in shock. "In my opinion, he always looks so horny for you."

Natalie shook her head. "He just won’t go ahead, as if something’s stopping him. Never mind—it’s his loss."

"Stops himself?" Mia repeated. "Do you think he’s got someone else? A mistress? Now that you’re his wife, the other woman would be the mistress."

Natalie glanced at her sharply. "Do you really think so?"

"Rich men are known for these things, especially when women throw themselves at them so easily. Well, he’s a man, after all, and you can never fully trust a man with his desires."

Natalie gripped her glass tightly. "No wonder he’s all talk but won’t do it with me."

Ryan and John, doing their jobs as her bodyguards and moving like silent ghosts, acted as though they had heard nothing. With Natalie drinking and clearly angry with her husband, they knew they had to stay alert.
