My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie froze at the spot.

Before she could fully grasp the meaning of Tobias's words, his long legs strode forward. Natalie could only follow behind him hastily.

After arriving at the president's office, the atmosphere of the large space suddenly seemed more pressuring than usual. Natalie lowered her head and stood in front of Tobias like a student waiting to be punished.

"Something went wrong with the contract?" Tobias broke the silence, asking in a gentle tone.

Natalie nodded, shame visible in her eyes, "Mr. Whitlock, I know that I've caused a huge loss for the company. I, I..."

She did not know what else to say. What's done is done, and it was indeed her fault.

A moment later she lifted her head, eyes brimming with shiny tears, "Why not just fire me?"

"Will firing you make up for the loss the company has to suffer?" Tobias's deep eyes were locked on Natalie. "Natalie, tell me, how do you plan to compensate for this loss?"

She bit down hard on her lower lip.

Truth be told, she had no idea at all. It was the first time she encountered such a sum in her life.

A whopping hundred million dollars - even if she was sold off, she would not be worth that much.

Feeling Tobias's fixed gaze on her, Natalie felt even antsier, her anxiety rising with each ticking minute.

She could not think of any way that she could compensate for her mistake.

The long pause was killing her. Close to tears, she started, "Mr. Whitlock, I really don't know what to do. Even if you sold me off, I won't be worth that much money. Why don't you just send me to jail?" Tobias's fingers lightly tapped on the desk as he leaned against it, replying coolly, "Who said you're not worth that much?"

Natalie was taken aback.

Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Natalie, you're worth a lot. You're not worth a hundred million, you're a priceless treasure."

She wiped her red eyes, not understanding what he meant.

"Come here." Tobias said to Natalie.

Natalie walked over and stood in front of him.

"Natalie, would you like to repay the company?" A dark light glinted in Tobias's eyes.

Natalie nodded furiously, her head nodding up and down like a bobblehead doll.
