The bedroom light was not turned on, the only illumination in the dark room being the hazy glow of the morning sun. With the help of that sliver of light, Natalie saw Tobias walk into the bathroom, followed by the sound of water.
Natalie's body was burning from head to toe.
She realized what she had been touching earlier.
Her heart was hammering as fast as a baby deer caught in headlights.
When Tobias cout of the bathroom, the sky had already brightened.
Hayden had woken up as well.
He got up from the bed, rubbing his eyes.
"Dad, did you just take a shower?" Hayden asked confusedly as he saw Tobias stepping out in a white robe.
"Yes." Tobias's voice was exceptionally deep and hoarse, probably due to what had happened that morning. "Dad, didn't you already shower last night?" Hayden asked curiously.
"It's too hot." After saying that, Tobias gave Natalie a knowing look.
Natalie wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.
Even though she did not have any experience in that area, she still understood a little about how it worked. Men must feel it the strongest in the morning, and her hands had been unknowingly restless.
Although Tobias was gay, he must still have instinctive reactions.
Hayden touched his own forehead, "It's not hot." "You don't feel hot, but I do." That morning, Natalie was insanely embarrassed.
She did not dare to even look at Tobias.
After all, she had done such a shameful thing so early in the morning.
Nevertheless, no matter how awkward it was, they still had to go to work, and they still had to sit in Tobias's car together.
After getting into the car, Tobias did not start the engine.
And Natalie dared not ask why.

"You dare not look at me, huh?" The man's low voice suddenly sounded in Natalie's ear.
Natalie lowered her head even more.
She looked stumped as she stammered for an answer.
The next thing she knew, her chin was being turned gently until she was facing Tobias.
His actions were light, and Natalie did not feel the slightest discomfort. S~EaRch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Natalie." Tobias's dark eyes locked onto Natalie's face.
Her embarrassment grew as quickly as her face flushed.
The scene from that morning kept replaying in her mind, her hand still burning freshly from the contact. Even though she was facing Tobias, her lashes were faced down, obscuring her flustered eyes.
However, the more shy she was, the more questions Tobias would ask.
"You're still thinking about what happened this morning, aren't you?" His hot breath blew on Natalie's face, tingling her senses as if a feather was brushing across her face. Natalie's eyelashes trembled like falling butterflies.
She said nothing.
But Tobias was still staring at her, seeming to be waiting for an answer.
Natalie had no choice.
She forced out a simple "yes".
"How did it feel?" There was a glimmer in the man's eyes.
"It was...hot," Natalie faltered.
It was so hot that she thought Hayden had gotten a fever.
"And?" The man's tone took on a playful edge as he teased.
Natalie was close to tears, feeling more and more rattled.
Was it necessary for Tobias to ask her for a "posttouch review"? She really could not give him an answer.
The man leaned over, his lips brushing past Natalie's earlobe, "Natalie, tell me, how did it feel?" "I, I, I..." Natalie's face was as red as a tomato and as warm as the morning sun.
She bit her lips, "Mr. Whitlock, I was wrong. I shouldn't have touched you. Please don't teaseanymore." The more she behaved like that, the more it made Tobias want to tease her.
His body began to exude a strange heat once again.
His lips moved closer, "Natalie, how did it feel?" His lips were already grazing against her earlobe, sending Natalie into an electric shock, almost causing her whole body to turn stiff.
"Or have you forgotten how you felt? Would you like a run-through again?" The man's hand slowly held Natalie's, guiding it towards...
Natalie promptly pulled her hand out from Tobias's.
Her eyes were misty, "Mr. Whitlock, if you keep teasinglike this, I will jump out of the car!" Tobias's actions had made her embarrassed and angry, and there was a weird sensation spreading throughout her body. Natalie felt like she was going mad.
As if toying with an upset little kitten, Tobias withdrew all his dirty thoughts.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you anymore. Let's go to work." He returned to his proper sitting position.
With that, they left the house.
The whole afternoon, Natalie was in a daze.
The events of that morning kept flashing through her mind, causing her cheeks to flush with heat at the very thought.
Was the big boss not homosexual? Why would he keep teasing her? Was it fun to tease her and make her feel like this? As thoughts ran laps through her mind, her phone suddenly rang.
It was from an unknown number.
Natalie assumed that it was a call from a courier delivery service.
She had bought ssnacks online two days ago and had them delivered to the apartment.
"Hello," Natalie answered.
The other end was silent for two seconds, with only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Confused, Natalie continued, "Are you the delivery service? I'm not hnow, I'm at work. Please have the e security guard accept it on my behalf," "Natalie," A voice abruptly interrupted Natalie's words. Natalie's whole body went rigid. A second later, her fingers subconsciously hovered over the button to end the call.
"Natalie, I'm leaving." Natalie's hand froze.
She bit down hard on her lower lip, not saying a word.
"I'm going to the Sahara Desert and the Amazon Jungle with sm explorek friends were leaving tonight, The man said in a deliberately relaxed tone. Natalie had sworn that she would never care about Remington ever again.
But upon hearing his words, she could not help but exclaim, "What are you going there for?"
Even with her limited knowledge, she knew that the Sahara Desert and the Amazon Jungle were very dangerous places. It was entirely possible for anyone to lose their life if they went there for expeditions. "We're just going to look around. It's easy to overthink when you're leading an easy life. It's nice to go traveling once in a while." Natalie's breathing hitched.
She told herself that this was none of her business.
After what this man had done to her, it no longer mattered to her where he went.
But the words blurted out of her mouth, "Do you know how dangerous those places are? You might even die. Have you lost your mind?" "Will your heart ache for me?" Remington suddenly asked.
Natalie was stunned.
"If I died there, would you feel sad?" His tone was odd.
Natalie's mind flashed back to what happened that day in the car.
Her heart filled with resentment, "No, I won't." The other end was silent.
Indescribable emotions surged in Natalie's heart.
After a moment, he finally spoke, "Hearing you say that is enough." Her heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, which stung a lot.
"Take care of yourself, Natalie, as long as you're happy." As soon as he finished speaking, the call ended.
Natalie held her phone, disconcerted.
Was Remington really going to those two places? He must be pulling her, was he not? Yes, he must be.
For such a devious man like him, he would not possibly put himself in dangerous situations on purpose.
