The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Garrett unbuttoned two of his buttons and took a seat next to Sebastian. After quite a lengthy consideration of the situation, he said,

“You’ve lied to her for so long. Of course, it is natural that she will be angry, but you had done it for her own good. It’s not an unsolvable conflict. You’d better stay humble in front of her now. After some time, I’m sure she will cool down and forgive you.”

Garrett thought that Natalie’s anger was completely human and understandable. Back when Sebastian and he had been in school, Sebastian always enjoyed fooling him.

Having first-hand experience with Sebastian’s shenanigans, he completely understood the anger Natalie was feeling now.

Sebastian didn’t answer and instead just sighed in response. If only she would calm down and forgive him. However, he feared that things were not that simple.

“Miss Quinn, let me introduce myself first. I’m the director of the human resources department.”

“Good afternoon, Miss Quinn Afternoon tea is on me. What do you think about that?”

“Miss Quinn, if you need any help, please give me a call at any time. Just so you know, I’m the marketing manager You can go ahead and call me Mike”

So many people were coming up to Natalie. It really appeared that they were going to surround her desk at any moment After Natalie arrived at the company today, she didn’t have time to get started on her work yet.

This whole time, she had been wearing a decent smile on her face and politely dealing with the senior executives who were trying to suck up to her one after another. In just one day, many colleagues and senior executives pretended to come up to her by chance. Some of them made excuses to talk to her and some even boldly came up to her directly to introduce themselves.

Thanks to Natalie, Gerda had the opportunity to partake in a lot of snacks and drinks this afternoon. Her stomach was already full and she was feeling satisfied, “It must be so good to be the wife of the CEO. Natalie, you’re so fortunate.”

Gerda let out a loud burp. Looking at the gifts on Natalie’s desk, her eyes were filled with envy.

“Do you think all these gifts and foods are for nothing? They all want to get something from me.”Natalie shook her head, feeling more and more worn out. She sorted out all the gifts on her table, feeling a slight annoyance when she saw the flattering faces of those people surrounding her Maybe Tiffany was right. She could no longer work in the Larson Group anymore.

Finally, the workday was over and Natalie felt greatly relieved.

She was now the focus of the entire Larson Group. All the employees of the Larson Group wanted to do nothing else but flatter her. Even the cleaner downstairs went out of her way to greet Natalie respectfully when she saw her. So as soon as Natalie was off work, she especially made a detour, intending to take the stairs instead of the elevator to head downstairs. She didn’t want to have to ride the elevator with the others. In her eyes, it would only make her feel more embarrassed to be fawned upon by others in a small space, When Natalie was about to reach the first floor, she could smell someone’s perfume. She made her way down the stairs and saw the perfume wearer leaning against the door frame and smiling up at her “Isn’t this such a coincidence, Miss Quinn?” With a wide grin on her face, Charis turned her body so that she was now facing Natalie The woman was both tall and slim. When she focused her gaze on Natalie, she bowed her head down slightly

“Hello, Miss Turner Excuse me, I’m on my way out.” Natalie forced a smile on her face.

Now that Charis was standing in front of the door, blocking her path, Natalie was in a dilemma. She could neither get out nor go back upstairs. This encounter started to make Natalie feel even more uncomfortable. Judging from the casual expression on Charis face, she must already know about Sebastian’s dual identities.

It really seemed like Natalie was the only one in the world who was left in the dark Cocking an eyebrow, Charis observed the subtle shift in Natalie’s expression

“Just to let you know, I do know that Brandon is Sebastian,” Charis said, very relaxed, but there was a hint of malice that could be seen in her eyes.

“You have to understand him. He hid it from you because he’s worried about a lot of things. After all, you and he are worlds apart.”The fake smile on Natalie’s face faded away at once. She didn’t want to have a chat with Charis and she knew that Charis was standing in front of the door deliberately to cause trouble for her. She decided in the next moment to go upstairs directly and take the elevator out.

However, what Charis said next made her stop in her tracks.

Charis heaved a long sigh before continuing “It’s a wonderful feeling, really it feels like it was only yesterday when Brandon and I started a business, and now, Larson Group is practically an empire. I always knew that Brandon would succeed. He’s the most brilliant man I’ve ever known. He has come so far despite having to start with nothing As the CEO of Larson Group, he is responsible not only for a multibillion dollar enterprise, but the livelihood of some ten thousand employees as well. But he is yet to avenge his mother and bring down the Klein family. When he chooses a wife, he must consider more factors than the ordinary people do.”

Natalie looked Charis in the eye and asked, “What are you trying to say? Sebastian married me. No matter how close you were in the past, he is now my husband.”

Tension crackled in the air between them.

Charis narrowed her eyes. She had thought that Natalie was a doormat, a pushover who would rather run away and hide than fight. It seemed like she had underestimated the woman.

Even so, Charis remained composed. Her arrogant nature forbade her from feeling inferior to anyone, after all. She drew close to Natalie, her lips curled into a sneer.

“I meant exactly what I said. I just feel so sorry for Brandon He should have had a better life”

The sound of her heels clacking against the ftoor echoed throughout the empty staircase.

Every step she took felt like a dagger to Natalie’s heart When they were finally toe to toe, Charis braced her hand on the banister and looked Natalie up and down. Then she broke into a huge, mocking smile.

“You understand, don’t you? Brandon should have married someone from a rich and powerful family, someone who had the same status as him. He needs a wife who can help him further his career, his vendetta, his ultimate success. Brandon only married you to honor his late mother’s wish. Sure, he might have some feelings for you, but does he really think you deserve thetitle of Mrs. Larson? You know as well as I do that businessmen base their every decision on the pros and cons. No one gambles just to lose in the end. This might be the reason why Brandon has kept his true identity from you, don’t you think?”

Natalie didn’t want to listen to another word Charis said.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
