The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 404 He Has a Love-Struck Side

The more Marcus thought about it, the more convinced he became. Frustrated, he tossed the documents onto the desk and got up to leave.

Just then, Ethan knocked and walked in, carefully placing the final document onto his desk.

"Mr. Holden, this is the last document awaiting your decision. After this, you can leave for Amberton with Mrs. Holden without any distractions."

Marcus looked up and shot Ethan a glare. "Why is Mrs. Holden not here yet?" "I've called Noah, and he said they're almost here."

A sense of panic crept up on Ethan. He had asked Noah an hour ago, and that was what Noah told him.

An hour later, the response was still the same.

Every passing second without Natalie's appearance sent shivers down his spine.

"I don't care how you're going to do it, but I want to see Mrs. Holden here in five minutes," Marcus commanded coldly.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat. Still, he responded without a moment of hesitation.

"Okay, I'll call Mrs. Holden right away."

The moment Ethan stepped out of Marcus' office, he called Noah again.

"Noah, please. I'm begging you just get Mrs. Holden here already!"

Ethan was practically in tears.

"We're here already." There was a trace of laughter in Noah's tone. "Just stepped through the entrance."

Ethan let out a breath of relief. He kept the call connected as he dashed to the elevator.

The elevator reached the first floor, and when the doors parted, Ethan's eyes landed on Natalie. She was carrying a cute bag, with Noah following her dutifully behind.

Noah had always worked in the background, appearing only when needed. But now, he walked behind Natalie in plain sight.

Ethan's joy was written all over his face. He hurried forward. "You're finally here, Mrs. Holden."

Natalie was confused. "Mrs. Holden? Me?" she thought.

"Mr. Holden is waiting for you in his office. Let me bring you there."

Ethan was grinning from ear to ear as he led the way. Every employee they passed greeted Natalie with a respectful smile, addressing her as "Mrs. Holden".

Although Natalie was perplexed, she smiled and returned the greetings. Once they were in the elevator, she asked, "Mr. Carter, why is everyone calling me 'Mrs. Holden?' Did Marcus ask them to?"
