Tobias didn't say anything, but his expression darkened.

Natalie changed the subject. "Since you're going to the company now, can I move around on my own?"

She stared at Tobias intently.

A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

With an arch of her eyebrow, Natalie raised her voice, putting her foot down. "Tobias, I am an independent person. You don't intend to put me under house arrest like this, do you?"

Tobias held his breath.

After a while, he agreed in a low voice, "Okay."

Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll pick you up tonight," Tobias continued.

"I don't need you to pick me up."

"I'll be there," he repeated in a firm tone, unwavering.

"It's up to you," Natalie had no choice but to reply irritably.

She understood that Tobias was determined not to let her go.

Since she had no other way out, she decided to let him be.

He might act stubborn now, but sooner or later he would still have to face reality.

After Tobias went to the company, Natalie returned to her apartment.

She sat on the sofa, staring blankly ahead. A lot of things were on her mind.

After the incident the day before, she guessed that her freedom would be restricted.

At the very least, she had to go to the Whitlock family's villa tonight.

Thinking of this, Natalie started to get a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only take things one step at a time.

Her phone suddenly rang amidst her thoughts, which made her jump a little.
