The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 224

Just as Samuel thought Natalie would lay her emotions bare in front of him, she pulled away from his embrace.

“I‘ve made a fool of myself today..” Natalie croaked.

IC

Samuel felt utterly defeated as her gaze turned cold and distant.

Looks likethe pain and hatred in her heart are stronger than her love for me.

Natalie was being too rational for her own good. In fact, she was even more rational than Samuel. She didn‘t want this relationship to turn into a weakness of hers.

Okay. I will respect her decision. The more distant she acts, the more I will pamper her. I will pamper her till she only has eyes for me.

“Nat, everything I‘ve said to you today is my promise toward you.” Samuel stared at her as he spoke in all seriousness. “You can do whatever you want, but you can only belong to me. No one else can lay a finger on you.”

Natalie looked him in the eye and was surprised to see the determination in them.

She was able to control her feelings around him this time around.

But what about next time?Can I really hold back my feelings for him?

The next day.

Natalie received a message from Christopher telling her to come down to Collins Corporation personally to collect the snakeblood fruit.

She arrived at Collins Corporation and registered herself at the reception.

“Hello, I‘m looking for Christopher.”

The receptionist, who had on heavy makeup, couldn‘t help but laugh. “Do you have an appointment?”

“No, but I have a message from him.” Natalie handed her phone over to the receptionist.

However, the receptionist didn‘t even spare her phone a glance. “Tch, you call this

evidence? All you did was find someone to send this message to you and name that contact after our CEO. Do you really think I will believe you?” the receptionist said coldly.

Natalie frowned. “Your CEO really is the sender.”

“Then why don‘t you give him a call?”

Natalie called the number without another word.

It went through but nobody picked up.

The receptionist gave Natalie a sidelong glance. Hah! I knew it.

“Can‘t get through? I knew it. You‘re a liar. How did you even know our CEO with that face of yours? Do you really think insignificant people like you can meet our CEO?”

Natalie smirked as her aura suddenly turned icy.

“I’ll give you another chance. Can you please give your CEO a call? Tell them a Ms. Natalie is looking for him.”

The receptionist was taken aback by her aura. However, she refused to take her seriously as she thought Natalie was probably just putting up a show. Hence, she continued speaking to her in a nonchalant attitude.

“Hello, do you not understand what I just said? You can‘t meet our CEO without an appointment. I‘m going to get the guards to drag you out if you keep up with this!”

Natalie turned around and was about to take her leave.

Just then, Nicholas walked out from the VIP elevator.

He quickly walked over to Natalie the moment he saw her. “Ms. Natalie, you‘re here.” he said respectfully.

Nicholas had a complete change of attitude toward Natalie after Christopher‘s recovery. They went from being at each other‘s throats to him treating her with the utmost respect as if she was the medicinal herb goddess.

The receptionist parted her lips in surprise when she saw how polite Nicholas was toward Natalie.

This rooman...She‘s not really here to meet the CHO, is shop

Before the receptionist could even register what was going on, Christopher entered the office building. He made his way toward Natalic the moment he laid eyes on her.

“Brat, you‘re making such a big fuss about these medicinal herbs, and yet, you don‘t give a d*mn about me. Are these herbs more precious than me?” Christopher smiled from the bottom of his heart when he saw Natalic.

Uhh…

The receptionist was stunned. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Did the devil CEO just smile?Is he directing his smile at the woman I just offended earlier?
