Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 406

Nathalie couldn't let him find out she was in the same room as Benjamin, so she had to end his video call abruptly. Nathan shot her a text: [Pick up the video call.]

Through the screen, Nathalie could almost see Nathan's anger blazing. Knowing how stubborn he could be, she quickly grabbed her phone and dashed out of the hotel. Only when she reached the lobby did she feel safe enough to answer his call.

As the video connected, Nathalie saw Nathan for the first time in months. Something about him seemed different; his face had lost its youthful roundness. It was now leaner and sharply handsome, with more chiseled features. "Nathan, you've gotten even hotter," Nathalie teased with a smile.

Nathan studied her intently. His eyes were dark and intense. "You're all dressed up today. Who's the lucky person?" His jealousy was obvious.

Nathalie dodged the question. "Oh, I was supposed to meet a business partner, but he got drunk, so the deal didn't happen." She put on a face of genuine disappointment.

Nathan's expression turned icy. "You took a drunk guy to a hotel? Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Nathalie frowned, "How did you know he was a guy?"

Nathan's eyes flickered as he defensively retorted, "How many female business partners do you know who drink heavily?"
