The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 480

“Mrs. Harding, do you mind if I have a few words with Laney?”

“Go ahead.”

Natalie pulled Laney aside and told her. “Look, it’s not really a big deal. Think of them as potatoes, and you’ll do just fine. That’s what I used to do. You are lovely and flawless right now. Those ladies are simply amazed at you. It’s Garrett’s loss that he didn’t see you today.”

Laney managed a smile, but only a faint one.

“Thank you. I’m so glad you’re here. If not, I wouldn’t know what to do,”

Laney said appreciatively.

“Laney, it’s time for us to go.”

Vera reminded her in a quiet voice.

Natalie looked at Laney positively before watching Vera take Laney away.

“What happened just now?”

“You scared me! Why didn’t you make any noise when you walked?”

Natalie gave her ch*st a pat. She didn’t know when Brandon had approached her.

Several minutes had passed while Brandon stood there before Natalie finally noticed him. He gently touched her face and murmured, “Scary cat.”

Natalie’s gorgeous eyes blinked as she considered what Vera had just said.

“Is it your impression, too, Brandon, that I am overly possessive? Mrs. Harding just taught Laney a lesson. She warned that a woman’s clinginess to her husband could be detrimental to his professional success.”

Natalie responded somberly, propping her chin with one hand, “What Mrs. Harding said makes perfect sense. l was thinking that maybe I should extend my business trip so that you can have the extended time to yourself.”

Brandon was at a loss for words.

This really put him on pins and needles! Looking at his face, Brandon was bent out of shape over this topic.
