Chapter 782
Brandon returned the smile, walking over to embrace her obediently.
Resting his chin on top of Natalie’s head, he asked softly, “Boss, what do you think? Are you satisfied with my performance today?” Pretending to ponder in order to tease him, Natalie eventually replied, “Despite the eavesdropping, your overall performance isn’t bad, Mr. Larson.”
The scent of Natalie’s body making. Brandon feel content. “It’s a good thing I found you a female assistant. If I hired a male assistant to be with you day and night, wouldn’t I have found myself a love naval?” Natalie playfully raised her head and asked, “How did you know I was going to hire a male assistant at a high price? I could’ve hired someone more handsome and taller than you… Ah! What are you doing?” Before she could finish, Brandon lifted her up and pressed her against the sofa.
The room’s atmosphere became instantly romantic. As Brandon’s warm breath grazed her ear, his low, jealous voice inquired,
“You want to find a male assistant? More handsome and taller than me? Huhe” Natalie kissed his lips and said innocently, “I just need an assistant to help with my work. You won’t mind, will you?”
Brandon lifted her chin, gazing at her lovingly and earnestly. “I do mind! Just hearing that makes me jealous. I’m the only man The room’s atmosphere became instantly romantic. As Brandon’s warm breath grazed her ear, his low, jealous voice inquired, “You want to find a male assistant? More handsome and taller than me? Huhe”
Natalie kissed his lips and said innocently, “I just need an assistant to help with my work. You won’t mind, will you?”
Brandon lifted her chin, gazing at her lovingly and earnestly. “I do mind! Just hearing that makes me jealous. I’m the only man you can have in your life.”
With that, he tenderly kissed Natalie’s lips, a moment full of love and affection.
Everything around them seemed to fade away, as if time stood still and only his embrace and breath existed.
After the kiss, Natalie pushed against Brandon’s chest, shyly protesting, “Don’t do that. Your bodyguards are still outside the door.”
Brandon brushed against her body and said, “They can’t hear us.” Natalie held his wandering hand, weakly resisting. “No, you can’t. We’re in the office. Don’t do that.”
With a mischievous smile, Brandon raised his eyebrows. “Do you remember our bet? If I lost, I’d work as your assistant, and if you lost…”
“Don’t say it!” Blushing, Natalie glared at him and covered his mouth. “You’ve lost. Don’t mention it anymore.”
Brandon removed Natalie’s hand and grinned, “If you lose, you’ll have to design some sexy lingerie for yourself and wait for me in it on the bed. If you don’t want me to do anything now, design that lingerie. What do you think?”
Natalie glared at him and huffed, “You’re a scoundrel!”
Seeing her shy and irritated expression, Brandon’s desire grew. He couldn’t help but pinch her waist and shower her with kisses, whispering, “I’m a scoundrel. So what? You can’t escape.” Brandon deliberately spoke with a tempting, hoarse voice, causing Natalie to feel weak. Her hands, which had been pushing against his chest, gradually stopped.
“Brandon…” Natalie murmured, clutching his collar.
Just as the atmosphere intensified, the reception room door burst open. Breathless, Lexi exclaimed, “Boss! Are you okay?”
For a moment, the whole world seemed to come to a standstill. The large reception room was so silent that only the breathing of its three occupants could be heard. The air was taut with embarrassment.
Lexi stopped midway through pushing the door open and froze. She didn’t expect to stumble upon such a scene behind the door. “Ah!” Natalie screamed as she came back to her senses. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She immediately pushed Brandon away, spun around and ducked behind the sofa, hiding her face. She felt so embarrassed! She desperately wished that she could disappear right then and there!
She had never felt that much embarrassment in her entire life!
Brandon, too, was jolted back to his senses. He coughed awkwardly and asked, “What’re you doing here, Lexi? I thought I told you that I’d be the assistant today and that you could have the day off?” Lexi gulped and replied in a trembling voice, “You did, but Sean. asked me to come here. He… When he got your call, he thought there was an emergency, so he asked me to come and have a look… I didn’t expect…”
She didn’t expect that not only would there be no emergency, but also, that she’d interrupt Brandon and Natalie.
Lexi felt helpless. She cursed Sean bitterly in her heart.
Upon hearing her reason for being there, both Brandon and Natalie rebuked
Sean in their hearts as well.
At that same moment, Sean, who was out on a date with Estella at the amusement park, sneezed three times in a row.
As he gazed up at the sky, he couldn’t help but think about his boss, who had just called him. He thought of himself as an outstanding assistant who hadn’t forgotten to get someone to attend to his boss’ issue whilst he was out on a date. He was quite certain that he’d get a promotion and a raise.
After explaining herself, Lexi left as quickly as she could, scared that she’d be fired if she spent another second there.
Noticing that Natalie was still hiding behind the sofa, Brandon couldn’t help but feel helpless. “You can come out now. Lexi’s gone.”
With her face still buried in her palms, Natalie remained crouched down behind the sofa, refusing to budge.
Brandon was amused, and chuckled, “How long do you plan on staying down there?”
Natalie responded in a muffled voice, “Leave me alone. I’m too embarrassed to come out.”
“Come on, don’t be like that.” Brandon walked over and lifted her up. “She’s gone. Everything’s alright.”
Natalie flung herself into his arms and buried her head in his chest. “I feel so humiliated! How do I even face Lexi tomorrow?” Brandon wasn’t too thrilled to have been interrupted by Lexi. Upon hearing Natalie’s worries, he said to her bluntly, “Don’t worry about it. If you think it’ll be too hard to work with her, you can fire her. I’ll get you a new assistant.”
Natalie quickly took a step back, out of his embrace, and said, “No way! Lexi only came here because she was worried about us. She did nothing wrong.”
Brandon pinched her nose playfully and said, “Then don’t fire her. It’s your decision. All I want is for you to be happy.” Thinking about what had happened today, Natalie sighed dejectedly. “Today’s been quite the day.”
