My Heart only Beats for You

Benjamin glanced at her ruefully, his cheeks reddening. "Miss... Miss Godfrey."

"What's wrong?" Natalie asked, a little confused.

She was the one who was supposed to be blushing, not him!

"Miss... Miss Godfrey, since you're not living with Miss Simpson anymore," he stammered and paused. "Is she living alone in your old apartment?" "Not anymore. She's been very busy lately. I bet she spends most of her time at the movie set."

"Oh."

He paused for a moment, his gaze flashing, but stopped himself again before looking back at Natalie, his lips parting yet he made no noise.

Natalie became more intrigued. "What's the matter, Mr. Simpson?"

Benjamin still looked a little reluctant to speak.

"Mr. Simpson, if you won't talk, I'll be taking my leave now."

If she was seen lingering out here with Benjamin like this, people might think they were having an affair.

Only then did he utter, "Miss Godfrey, I bought a box of chocolates on my business trip. Could you please help pass them to Miss Simpson for me?"

With that, he fumbled out a beautifully decorated box and stuffed it into Natalie's hands.

Even in all her denseness, Natalie knew what this box of chocolates meant.

She shot Benjamin a knowing glance.

When she was about to ask him about his feelings for Yvonne, he suddenly added, "Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock specifically told me to remind you about what you two discussed at noon. He expects you to make preparations for tonight."

The question for Benjamin suddenly got stuck in her throat, her eyes popping wide.

What they had discussed at noon.

Tobias didn't really take it seriously, did he?

She felt the heat of a blush on her cheeks.

All of a sudden, she lost all interest to ask Benjamin about his feelings for Yvonne.

Hurriedly bidding him goodbye, Natalie fled in embarrassment.

Since Selina was home, dinner at the Whitlock family was as lively as usual.

Selina and Hayden bickered with each other, their interesting arguments lightening the mood.

While Natalie watched them bicker, she stared at Selina with a conflicted look in her eyes.

Was the sweet and bubbly girl sitting across her really the same girl who had sobbed her heart out last night?

When the two of them stopped their squabbling, Natalie placed her hand on Selina's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Selina, do you feel better now?"
