My Heart only Beats for You

As expected, Benjamin spoke about what was on her mind. "Miss Godfrey, I think it's too, too inappropriate for Mr. Whitlock to be holding you on his lap while speaking with the company's executives." Benjamin's face reddened, and he said, "They might not dare to say anything in front of Mr. Whitlock, but I just heard them gossiping about Mr. Whitlock being lost in lust."

After all, there was probably no other president in the world that could be found with a woman on his lap right in his office when discussing work with his executives. If word were to get out, it would turn him into a laughingstock.

No one would have expected that Tobias, someone always known to be cool-headed and mature, would do such a thing.

Natalie's face turned pale.

After a while, she nodded. "I understand."

"Miss Godfrey, please don't tell Mr. Whitlock..." Benjamin stopped mid-sentence.

"I understand, Mr. Simpson. You don't have to worry." Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Natalie knew very well that Benjamin was a loyal employee.

In fact, there was no need for him to tell her this. After all, even if Tobias' employees were talking about it, they dared not to say anything in front of him.

The reason why Benjamin decided to tell her in private was to protect Tobias' image.

A little later, Tobias returned to his office.

He immediately held Natalie in his arms, his lips caressing her ear. "Natalie, I think I'm going to have to bring you with me for the next meeting. It feels like it's been ages since I last saw you." Despite his warm words of love, Natalie felt more spooked than touched.

Back when she was on good terms with Tobias, even if his emotions got the better of him sometimes, he'd still be able to keep a cool head.

But now, it was obvious that he had lost all his sanity.

Before, Tobias also asked her to wait for him in his office and stole glances at her from time to time.

But at least he didn't do things like insisting she sit on his lap without a care for his employees' thoughts.

After a while, Tobias placed Natalie on his lap once again.

"Tobias," Natalie suddenly called his name.
