The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 121 Let's See How Long He Can Pretend

"Eyes on the road, Mr. Holden."

Natalie broke off another piece of chocolate, letting it melt on her tongue. She loved the velvety smoothness of it.

Marcus was going to say something. But as he noticed how satisfied Natalie was with the chocolate, he remained silent.

The black Bentley drove back to Holden Residence. When they were about to arrive, Marcus suddenly stopped driving. "Do you want to dress up as a man again, Ms. Walker?"

"Huh?" Natalie was slightly taken aback by his words. "You know I'm Nathaniel, so it doesn't really matter if I dress up as a man or not, right?"

Instead of replying, Marcus fixed his gaze on her intently. The woman before him was a vision of beauty. Her skin was soft and pale, perfectly complemented by her long legs. However, she always wore a windbreaker, hiding her flawlessly sculpted figure beneath its loose fabric.

Marcus thought of the time when he helped Natalie with the needle withdrawal. He quickly shut his eyes, trying to block out the memory.

"It's at 2:00 pm. He has to take his medicine at noon." Natalie got out of the car.

Hesitating for a moment, she asked Marcus in a low voice, "Is Grandpa Charles aware of the fact that you know I dressed up as a man?"

Marcus smirked. "Is this some sort of secret you need to keep under wraps?"

Well, it made sense to Natalie. After all, Ethan was the one who went to her when she first dressed up as a man, and he was Marcus' assistant. It was only natural for them to know.

"Why did you keep this from me, Ms. Walker?"
