An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399

Chapter 399

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Grosso. My hand slipped!” the servant quickly apologized in a low voice.

Lily, by the side, put on a show of reprimanding her. “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you even handle such a simple thing?”

Natasha knew that without Lily’s orders, the servant would never have dared to pull something like this. Lily was just jealous that Percy had stood up for her, so now she wanted to put Natasha in her place.

Natasha had been looking for an excuse to slip away anyway. Therefore, she said, “It’s fine. I’ll go clean up. Where’s my

room?”

In the past, whenever Percy brought her back to the Grosso mansion, he would always put her in the guest room. If it were otherwise tonight, Lily would definitely be even more upset.

Natasha had no intention of sleeping in the same room as Percy, to begin with, so it worked out. As expected, Lily’s / expression relaxed noticeably when Natasha took the hint and opted for the guest room.

“The same room as previously,” Lily said calmly. Natasha immediately stood up and walked toward the guest room.

As she stepped out of the dining room, she spotted Percy standing by the window, talking on the phone. “No matter what, you must find out her whereabouts,” Percy said, his voice low and urgent.

Natasha couldn’t help but pause in her tracks. ‘Who is Percy looking for?’ she wondered. Before she could think any further, Percy turned and looked right at her.

As their eyes met, a flash of guilt flashed in Percy’s gaze. He muttered something into the phone before heading over to Natasha. “Finished eating?” he asked.

“Yeah,” she replied.

Percy’s eyes drifted to the damp patch on her dress. “How did that happen?” he frowned.

“A servant accidentally spilled on me. I’ll clean up in my room,” Natasha brushed it off, not really bothered. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something.

“By the way, who were you talking about on the phone just now? Is Joelle missing again?” Natasha remembered her mom calling her earlier, saying Joelle had gone missing again. ‘Was Percy looking for Joelle just now?’ she wondered.

Percy’s eyes flickered. “No,” he said. Joelle was actually in his custody, but just now, one of his men had called to say they were close to figuring out who the owner of that handkerchief was.

Once they got to the bottom of it, he wouldn’t be controlled by Joelle anymore. He also wouldn’t have to go along with her demands to marry her. But he still hadn’t figured out how to break it to Natasha, so for now, he would keep it to himself.

Natasha didn’t press further. She just turned and headed upstairs. When she got back to the guest room, she immediately took off her dress and gave it a good wash.

But she didn’t expect the stain to be so stubborn. She scrubbed it for some time, but the stain wouldn’t budge. She had to attend the funeral with Percy tomorrow. If Lily caught her wearing a stained dress, she would definitely lecture her all over again.

Just as she was worrying, a knock suddenly sounded at the door. Wrapped in a bathrobe, Natasha walked over and opened it. There she saw Percy standing outside, holding a set of black clothes.

“Wear this to the funeral tomorrow.” He handed the clothes to her, his voice gentle.

Natasha was momentarily stunned. She never thought Percy would go out of his way to bring her the clothes. It was nearly
