But who knew Tobias and Natalie would still break up.
"Miss Godfrey, I know for a fact Mr. Whitlock dotes on you. Why did you break up with him?" Benjamin asked, trying to be the peacemaker.
He did not actually like intervening in their love life, but he had no choice. Every tNatalie broke up with Tobias, Tobias would always end up in a terrible mood - which to be fair, directly affected himself. Thus, as Tobias's special assistant, he was obligated to do so.
Natalie rubbed her nose.
Benjamin was right. Tobias was handsome, rich, and powerful, and he had been so kind to her. She must have lost her mind, to have wanted to break up with the man of every other woman's dreams.
But she couldn't lie to herself.
"No reason. I just wanted to break up with him," she shrugged, acting nonchalant.
"I think you should think it over, Miss Godfrey. The two of you had been through so much, and it wasn't easy for you to get together," Benjamin persuaded.
She tilted her head curiously and looked at him. "I had only known and dated him for a short period of time. I wouldn't exactly say we've been through a lot." As soon as he heard her reply, Benjamin pinched his thigh and cursed himself silently.
Realizing he might have told her more than needed, he decided to refrain from continuing.
Natalie added, "Mr. Simpson, you don't have to stay here and watch over me. I'm fine. I know you're busy, so please don't waste your ton me.
Benjamin chuckled a little awkwardly. "Miss Godfrey, my job is to follow Mr. Whitlock's instructions. He orderedto stay here with you, so this is my work." "Oh." She wanted to say something, but after she thought about it, she stopped herself.
Benjamin was only following Tobias's orders. She would only make his life difficult if she were to ask him to leave, hence she let him be.
Benjamin felt that Tobias was truly enraged this time.
Usually, Tobias would still go to Natalie immediately even though he was mad.
But it had already been three days, and he did not call once to ask about her. SeaR*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Benjamin couldn't figure out what on earth was on Tobias' mind.
Finally, on the fourth day, Tobias called.
Benjamin thought he would ask about Natalie, but to his surprise, he did not.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInstead, he talked about work, which left Benjamin confused.
He was in the hospital. Why would Tobias talk about work with him? Before he was about to end the call, Tobias suddenly asked, "How is Natalie?" Benjamin let out a sigh of relief.
Mr. Whitlock finally asked about what had been on his mind for days.
He told him everything, but of course, he made light of the situation. He didn't want to upset his superior, after all.
"Okay." After a long moment of silence, Tobias answered, "Take good care of her." Later, Benjamin received another task.
Tobias ordered him to install a security camera outside the emergency room.
Although he didn't give any specific explanation, Benjamin understood at once.
After all, he had been Tobias' right-hand man for so long, so he knew what he was thinking most of the time.
He must have done this because he wanted to see Natalie.
Benjamin knew that their last fight was rather serious. Tobias was probably unwilling to lay down his pride and visit Natalie in the hospital just yet, that was why he wanted to have a security camera installed instead.
Benjamin did as he was told and quickly went to work.
He took the opportunity to carry out his task when Natalie wasn't around.
Unfortunately, when he was installing the last camera, Natalie cback.
She raised her head and stared at him strangely. "What are you doing up there, Mr. Simpson?" Just then, the security camera let out a faint clicking sound, faint enough for no one to take notice of it but Benjamin.
He had finally finished the last step of installation.
Benjamin slowly climbed down from the ladder.
"I just felt like getting a bird-eye view." He laughed dryly.
Natalie's eyebrow quirked.
Was he going mad because he was forced to stay in the hospital for so many days? Shaking off the thought, she shifted her attention to Benjamin instead. She observed him for the whole afternoon, and the more she looked at him, the more she deemed him as good-looking. He had both the height and the looks.
His lips were perfectly shaped, and two rows of pearly white teeth glinted when he smiled.
His eyes were clear like spring water.
Based on her interactions with him during these few days, she also realized that he was a good man.
He was always courteous and chivalrous.
After breaking the initial awkwardness, Natalie felt comfortable being around him, and they got along quite well.
An idea blossomed in her heart.
She knew that Benjamin seemed to have feelings for Yvonne, and she happened to be single as well.
It seemed like a good idea to bring the two of them together as a couple.
Of course, she wouldn't tell him this directly.
Natalie decided to try the tactic of beating around the bush.
"Mr. Simpson, I noticed that you're always traveling alone. Do you have a girlfriend or a fiance?" She asked casually.
Benjamin's answer was immediate, "No, I'm single." Her eyes flickered as she grinned slightly, "How about I introduce a girl to you, Mr. Simpson?" "Yvonne?" Before he could stop himself, a nsprang from Benjamin's lips.
His face instantly turned red as soon as he realized what he had said.
Flustered, he quickly waved his hand. "That's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand, Miss Godfrey." "What do you mean then?" Natalie teased, suppressing a laugh at Benjamin's reaction.
It was obvious that Benjamin was interested in Yvonne. Just one question from Natalie already made him hot and flustered. His face burned, and he did not know what to say.
He was usually articulate and well-spoken, but when it cto Yvonne, he bectongue-tied and a stuttering mess. "You're interested in Yvonne, aren't you?" Asked Natalie pointedly, her eyes grinning. Benjamin avoided her gaze and lowered his head, hiding his red cheeks.
"I just remembered, I haven't had my dinner yet. Please excuse me," he blurted and scampered away.
He stumbled halfway through the corridor and nearly tripped, but quickly composed himself and left the emergency room.
The corner of Natalie's lips curled up into a mischievous grin.
This was the first tshe smiled since she had stayed in the hospital for so long.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as she settled her matters with Remington, she would act as a matchmaker for Yvonne and Benjamin.
Meanwhile, in YS Empire Group, Tobias's office.
An enormous LED screen sat in the center of the room.
It was showing a hospital in Agaphen City.
Tobias's eyes flitted from the document in his hands to the screen.
Just then, he happened to see Natalie's small smile.
Tobias felt his heart-clenching, making internal waves.
What was it that made her smile like that? His longing for her suddenly grew even more intense.
Watching her from the screen was not enough.
He wanted to see her in person, to hug her, to feel her skin against him, and to take in her scent.
Impulsiveness roared at him to go to her, to take her home.
But he suppressed all thoughts, as difficult as that were.
Tobias knew he wasn't his best self right now, and he was overly emotional.
That day, when they were in the hospital, Natalie's words had provoked and triggered him a lot.
He didn't want that to happen again. He was afraid that his emotionsm would get the best of him, and he would do something he would regret.
He needed to calm down, and also to give Natalie stto think about it.
Everything was in utter chaos.
Remington felt as if he was hurled back into Amazon Jungle again.
Giant trees loomed above his head, their branches as sharp as daggers, and insects swarmed around him.
It was a dangerous place to be in, an inhabitable no- man's land. To survive, he needed to fight against to posode endless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. The hot and humid climate made things even harder. It was purgatory. X
