At the banquet full of gorgeous gowns and tuxedos, Natalie was the only one in sportswear.

"That was special." Tobias corrected her.

Natalie's grip on her phone tightened, "Mr. Whitlock, you're really not joking with me?"

"No," came his swift reply, without any hesitation.

Tobias's dark eyes looked as if it was immersed in the deep blue of the sea.

After a while, he repeated his question, making Natalie blush and her heart beat faster, "Natalie, do you like me?"

The light was warm, casting a soft glow on Natalie's long lashes.

She did not know how to answer.

Did she like the big boss?

Whenever she saw him, her face would turn red and her heart would quicken, and she was not repulsed by his intimate acts.

But could a nobody like her even think about being with a guy like him?

Natalie was in a dilemma.

For a moment, they could only hear the sound of each other's breathing over the phone.

In the end, Tobias broke the silence, "Natalie, don't worry about it. We'll talk when I get home."

Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Goodnight, then. I'm going off to bed," she said, anxious to hang up the phone.

Her nerves were all over the place.

But when they ended the call, Natalie suddenly felt disappointed.

He hung up just like that, huh?

What else did she think Tobias was going to say to her?

That night, Natalie could not sleep. She was completely restless, unable to fall asleep for even a second.

She had always thought that nothing could be more important than getting her beauty sleep.

Alas, she was wrong.
