An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Telling Her to Come Over

Chapter 133 Telling Her to Come Over

Jared brought Nicolas out of the police station.

The first thing he asked was, “When are you getting divorced?”

Nicolas was taken aback.

He couldn’t help but wonder aloud, “Did you come to check on me, or are you just here to grill me about my divorce?”

In Jared’s view, only if Nicolas and Joelle get divorced would Percy possibly divorce Natasha.

And only then would he finally have a chance with Natasha.

So, if he wanted to win Natasha sooner, he’d have to sacrifice his childhood friend, Nicolas.

“To check on you and ask about your divorce. Is there a problem?” Jared retorted.

“No, of course not!” Nicolas replied.

He was totally baffled by Jared’s behavior. “Seriously, you keep asking about my divorce like you can’t wait for me to be single.

“It’s almost as if you want me available for some strange reason! Just putting it out there, I’m only interested in gorgeous women.”

Jared was speechless.

“Don’t read too much into it. I’m just concerned about when you’re getting divorced so you won’t get beaten up again next time,” Jared said.

His words hit Nicolas right where it hurt.

“There’s no way I’m letting that happen again! I’ve already pushed my lawyer to get the court to schedule the hearing as soon as possible. The judge should grant my divorce from Joelle any day now,” Nicolas said.

Right now, he just wanted to be done with Joelle, once and for all.

Hearing that, Jared finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“If that’s all, I’m heading back,” Jared said.

With that, he gave Nicolas a pat on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Nicolas blinked in surprise. “You’re just gonna leave like that? Aren’t you gonna drop me off?”

Jared glanced back at him. “You seriously need me to give you a ride home?”

Nicolas nodded without hesitation. “Of course! With my face looking like this, I can’t show myself in public. I’m depending on you to get me home.”

He always took great care of his face.

‘I rely on my looks to pick up girls, Nicolas thought. ‘But tonight, Percy punched me and nearly ruined it.

‘And on top of that, I got punched in the face by my own brother-in-law. If word gets out, how am I supposed to show my face in public? So, the fewer people who know about this, the better.’

Jared dropped Nicolas off at home, then headed back to his place.

But once he lay down, sleep just wouldn’t come.

Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Natasha.

It was like he’d caught a bad case of lovesickness.

He couldn’t stop thinking about her, day or night.

He missed her more and more.

But even after they’d spent the night together, Natasha still acted as if nothing had changed between them, especially at

work.

She only saw him as her boss and maintained a strictly professional relationship, never letting him get any closer.

‘Guess I’m in for another endless night alone; Jared thought.

He then planned to grab some fresh clothes and hit the shower.

Entering the walk-in closet, he opened the wardrobe and suddenly caught sight of a touch of pink on a pair of trousers.

Moving closer, he realized it was Natasha’s panties, likely left behind by her at the hotel in Majestika earlier, and unintentionally packed by him into the suitcase.

Jared picked up the panties and brought them to his nose, inhaling deeply.

A scent unique to Natasha wafted into his nostrils.

He grew restless, a wave of heat surging through him.

His blood raced, every nerve on edge.

If he hadn’t had such iron self-control, he might’ve lost it right then and there.

Jared quickly pulled out his phone, trying to divert his attention.

But when he saw his chat with Natasha, he suddenly had another idea.

He snapped a photo of the pink panties and sent it to her right away.

She replied almost immediately, [Sorry, it’s mine…]

Jared let out a low chuckle and texted her back. [Come over to my place tomorrow night and grab it.]/

‘Wait, he’s actually asking me to go to his place?’ Natasha thought to herself, her internal alarm bells going off.

Her instinctive reaction was that she didn’t want to go.

‘Just thinking about going to his place to pick up my panties is awkward as hell,’ Natasha thought. ‘And if I go over there alone, just the two of us late at night… Who knows what he might do to me?’

Natasha thought it over and still felt it was inappropriate.

She quickly texted Jared back, [Don’t bother. Just toss it.]

‘Anyway, he already tore it up before. It’s ruined, and I can’t wear it anymore, Natasha thought.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Jared’s reply popped up on her screen. [But it still carries your scent. What if I can’t bear to let it go?]

Natasha’s eyes widened in shock.

She almost coughed up blood from sheer embarrassment.

‘Wait… did he seriously sniff them?’ Natasha wondered, her cheeks burning.

The image of Jared holding her panties to his nose and breathing in her scent flashed through her mind, making her cringe.

‘Oh my god!’ she thought, her heart pounding.

Her breath came in short, rapid bursts.

She felt way too awkward to even think about it any further.

He was seriously driving her insane.

Natasha closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down and steady her breathing.

‘Don’t think about it. Just stop, she warned herself. ‘Seriously, don’t even go there.’

She then replied, [Suit yourself!]

Natasha wanted to give him a piece of her mind.

But she held back, worried that if she started, he’d keep pestering her and never let it go.

So she just fired off a quick reply, then shut off her phone and went straight to bed, before her mind could spiral out of control and she totally lost it.

Meanwhile, back at Jared’s place, when he saw Natasha’s last message, he knew she was blushing on the other end. ‘She probably never imagined her panties would end up in my hands, Jared thought, a sly grin spreading across his face.

At least for now, having her panties helped ease his lovesick longing for Natasha, if only a little.

Jared took another deep whiff, and his eyes grew darker, simmering with heat.

In the end, he fell asleep clutching her panties to his chest…

As expected, he ended up having another steamy dream that night.

And naturally, the leading lady in his dream was Natasha.

Early the next morning, Natasha got a message from Percy.

He said he’d already had his lawyer redraft the confidentiality agreement.

Natasha asked him to send it over for her to review first.

When she arrived at the office, she found the confidentiality agreement sitting in her inbox.

But she was swamped with work all morning, and it wasn’t until lunch break that Natasha finally had a chance to open her inbox and check it.

Percy had changed the agreement to last for a year, bumped her payout from 10 million dollars to 15 million dollars, and even added their old wedding house to the deal.

Natasha was pretty satisfied with the new terms.

She didn’t want to drag things out any longer.

So she texted Percy to meet her at City Hall that afternoon.

She had just finished organizing some documents and needed to deliver them to Jared’s office.

When Natasha got to work that morning, Derek mentioned that Jared had gone to inspect a construction site.

With him out of the office, it was the perfect chance for her to slip the documents into his office without any hassle. But just as Natasha finished placing the documents on his desk and turned around, she bumped right into a broad, firm chest.

“Mmph…” Natasha let out a soft cry, reaching up to rub her aching forehead.

When she looked up, she was startled to see Jared’s familiar, handsome face just inches away.

Natasha couldn’t help but be surprised. “Mr. Rundell? What are you doing here?”

Jared grinned and shot back, “This is my office. Where else would I be?”

Natasha’s face froze for a second.

“But Mr. Mulder said you were out at the construction site,” she said, sounding a little unsure.

“I finished checking things out and came back,” Jared replied, sounding nonchalant.

He walked over and dropped into his executive chair, shooting her a meaningful look. “What? You don’t want to see me?”
