“Oh, no, no. I’m just surprised. Thanks for telling me, Ms. Fisher. I’ll go back to my work.” When Natalie came to her senses, she smiled sheepishly and excused herself.
Truth be told, she wasn’t happy per se. She just felt confused. In her eyes, the cooperation wasn’t that crucial, so why did Garrett need to interfere?
Seeing that she was about to leave, Tiffany raised her eyebrows and seemed to have read her mind. “I didn’t think that Mr. Harding would get involved in this matter. You two seem to be… on good terms. Did you know him before you joined the company?”
So, it turned out that it wasn’t just Natalie who felt that something was off.
“Oh, no. Actually, I’ve only met Mr. Harding twice.” Natalie shook her head and waved her hands dismissively.
When she got back to her desk, she couldn’t seem to concentrate on her work.
It was really unorthodox—unreasonable even—for a deputy CEO like Garrett to keep standing up for her.
Things didn’t happen for no reason in this world.
Could it be that Garrett was interested in her just like Ike?
“Quinn, why the long face? Did Fisher give you an earful?” A colleague sitting next to Natalie poked her arm with a pen.
“Huh? Oh, no. I just have a stomachache… Gerda, would you know if Mr. Harding has a girlfriend?” Natalie whispered in her colleague’s ear.
Gerda knew everything that went on in the company, since she was the most gossipy one and was always kept in the loop.
“Well, I guess you could say that. Mr. Harding might be very good to us employees, but I can’t say I respect his private life. You know how rich men are with open relationships. He probably has a girlfriend, but most likely has more than one. At least, that’s what those gossip magazines say,” Gerda whispered back, her eyes twinkling with interest. “Why? Do you have a crush on him? Oh, my dear, this kind of man doesn’t suit you.”
“No! I mean, I was just curious. You’re overthinking.” Natalie adamantly shook her head. She was a married woman after all.
She was just worried that she’d be sexually harassed again, like what had happened with Ike back then.

The door to the largest room was covered by a white curtain. A sign that said “Brandon Larson” in grand, gold lettering hung outside the door. As she walked past it, Natalie heard a faint, low voice
