Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 408

Benjamin woke up to find the sun already high in the sky. Anyone with half a brain could tell that something was off with the drinks last night. Yet, Benjamin couldn't wrap his head around it. If Nathalie had planned to trick him, why did she bail halfway through? Nathalie's bold and unpredictable nature just made Benjamin fall for her even more. He grabbed his phone and called her up.

When Nathalie answered, her voice was as cool and distant as ever. "What's up?"

Feeling a bit like he'd been played, Benjamin asked, "Nathalie, what was the deal with leaving me alone at the hotel?"

Nathalie felt a pang of guilt as she replied, "Mr. Rowland, I'm sorry. I got an urgent call and had to leave. But I did arrange for a waiter to look after you."

Benjamin's annoyance eased a little. "Alright then. How about we meet up another day?"

Nathalie was just about to agree when Nathan's earnest warnings popped into her head. She sighed, opting to play for time. "I've got a few orders to handle in the next couple of days. Once I'm free, I'll definitely reach out."

Benjamin, a seasoned player in the game of life, could sense Nathalie's hesitation. He pressed on, both gently and firmly. "Nathalie, I'll wait for you. But don't keep me waiting too long, or your company might find itself in a tight spot." It's a none-too-subtle threat.
