“Did you like the photo from last night?” asked Jared.

Jared suddenly leaned in closer.

His warm breath brushed Natasha’s face.

Natasha’s heart skipped a beat.

She couldn’t say a word.

All thanks to that half-naked photo he sent her last night.

It had her dreaming steamy dreams all night, and she was having a nervous disorder.

Natasha couldn’t help but wonder if Jared was seducing her on purpose.

Natasha turned her face away. “No, I didn’t like it. Please don’t send me anything like that again.”

Jared’s hazel eyes locked onto hers. “Alright.”

‘I can’t believe he agreed so quickly,’ Natasha thought, surprised.

Natasha couldn’t help but wonder, glancing at him again.

Jared’s lips curled into a sly smile. “Next time, I’ll send you something else.”\

Natasha flinched, her heart skipping a beat.

She was about to lose it.

‘Does he even get what I’m saying?’ Natasha thought, exasperated.

She wished he’d stop sending her photos altogether. She didn’t want to see a single one.

Natasha bit her lip and tried to steer the conversation away. “Is this why you called me in?”

He acted like it was something serious.

She thought it was about work.

But he just wanted to talk about this?

Jared raised an eyebrow. “There’s a dinner later. You’re coming with me.”

Natasha was reluctant. “But…”

She had plans with Dorothy tonight.

Jared’s hazel eyes darkened. “But what? This is work. You don’t get to say no.”

Natasha reluctantly agreed.

She followed him downstairs to the underground parking lot.

The driver pulled the Rolls-Royce up to them.

He stepped out respectfully and opened the door for them.

Jared stepped into the back seat.

Natasha stood still.

Natasha hesitated, thinking, ‘Should I sit next to Jared in the back, or take the passenger seat up front?”

She’d always sat beside Jared in the Rolls-Royce before.

But she remembered seeing Derek always riding up front.

She was an assistant, too. She couldn’t be the odd one out.

Natasha was about to head for the passenger seat.

Jared called out from inside the car.

“Why are you standing there? Get in!”

‘So he wants me to sit in the back with him?’ Natasha wondered.

She hurriedly got in and took the seat next to him.

Jared signaled the driver to start the car.

While riding in the car, Natasha got a call from Dorothy, who wanted to know where she was.

Natasha apologized, telling her friend’ meal tonight.

I left you a gift. Hope you like it. work, so she couldn’t make it to their

As soon as Dorothy heard she was with Mr. Rundell, she gave a sly laugh. “Well, make sure you take care of him tonight”

Dorothy lingered on the word “take care,” clearly implying something more.

Natasha was sitting in the back seat, next to Jared.

She worried Jared might overhear and totally misunderstand, so she nervously glanced at him.

And to her surprise, she caught him watching her already.

His hazel eyes were so intense, it was like he could see straight through her.

Natasha hurried to hang up, feeling embarrassed.

They rode in silence the whole way.

Neither said anything.

They stayed quiet until the car stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel.

Natasha trailed behind Jared as they stepped into an exclusive business lounge.

Inside, six men were already seated, each with a woman by his side.

Jared’s hazel eyes swept over the room. “Sorry, we’re late.”

They all stood up together as soon as he walked in.

“No worries, we just got here early,” one of them said.

One of them gestured to the woman beside him. “Shirley, why don’t you pour Mr. Rundell a drink?”

The girl named Shirley was dressed in a red, form-fitting gown that showed off her curves.

She shyly picked up a bottle of wine and walked over to Jared.

But before she could get close, Jared stopped her.

“No need. I already have a companion,” Jared said.

Natasha caught on instantly and smoothly poured drinks for both Jared and herself.

Shirley could only retreat to her seat with a pout, disappointed.

The others in the room paused, their eyes landing on Natasha, surprised to see her there.

They’d heard Jared always handled these dinners solo, so they’d arranged for some eye candy tonight.

But tonight, he showed up with his own date.

Looks like all their scheming was wasted.

But these guys were all slick operators.

Even though they weren’t too happy about it, they all started showering Natasha with compliments, calling her gorgeous.

Natasha knew they were saying it to keep Jared happy.

But she still ended up having a few more drinks.

When the dinner wrapped up, everyone gathered around Jared, escorting him out.

Natasha stuck close to Jared.

The whole group made their way toward the elevator.

Suddenly, Jared stopped in his tracks.

Natasha and the others all looked over.

Across from them, two middle-aged men emerged from another private suite.

One of them bore a noticeable resemblance to Jared.

But his expression was dark and menacing.

He was decked out in a sharp suit and gold-rimmed glasses, but he looked like a pretentious gentleman, fake classy, all show and no substance.

If Natasha guessed right, this had to be Harley Rundell, Jared’s uncle.

And the middle-aged man shaking hands with Harley was someone Natasha recognized even more.

“Dad…” Natasha forced herself to speak up.

Bernard hadn’t expected to bump into Natasha, his young daughter, here.

He shot a look at Jared by her side.

His brows furrowed. “What are you doing here?”

Natasha’s face went a bit stiff. “I… I’m here with my boss for a business dinner.”

‘Boss?’ Bernard thought, his brows furrowing in surprise.

He glanced over, checking out the young and striking Jared standing right next to her.

His emotions were suddenly a mess.

“So my nephew is your daughter’s boss, huh?” Harley laughed loudly, as he’d stumbled onto some juicy gossip.

Bernard forced a smile and shot Natasha a look. “Come here. Say hello to Mr. Rundell.”

Natasha glanced at Jared, then walked over.

She greeted him politely, “Hello, Mr. Rundell.”

Harley gave her a once-over, then glanced at Jared, then back at Bernard.

He flashed a mysterious smile. “So you’re the Whittier family’s youngest daughter? Natasha?”

Natasha nodded. “Yes.”

Harley’s eyes gleamed. “I never knew you had such a beautiful daughter, Bernard.”

He’d known Bernard for years, but he’d only ever met his eldest daughter, Joelle.

Natasha was said to be the child of Bernard’s second wife, always kept out of sight, like a family secret.

Bernard had always treated her like a stain on his reputation.

He never brought her to business dinners or social events.

He wouldn’t even acknowledge her in public.

But now, having run right into him, Natasha had called him “Dad” in front of the whole crowd.

No matter how much Bernard wished he could avoid it, he had no choice but to acknowledge her.

“Mr. Rundell, you’re too kind!” Bernard forced a smile, trying to keep up appearances.

But his sharp eyes shot Natasha a glare.

It was as if he were blaming her for showing up at that moment.

And now she was siding with Jared, Harley’s archenemy nephew.

‘Is she deliberately making things harder for me?’ Bernard thought, frustrated.

Bernard’d spent years trying to win over Harley.

But tonight, because Natasha showed up with Jared, and Harley happened to catch them together, all his efforts over the years were wasted.

All the effort he’d put into trying to win over Harley had gone to waste.
