The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Okay, will do.”

Since her superior had said so, Natalie had no choice but to swallow her grievance.

After leaving the office, Natalie promptly took her laptop to the repair shop.

“It was soaked in coffee and the hard disk is damaged.I’m sorry but I can’t retrieve the data for you.” The technician at the shop took a quick look at the damaged laptop and shook his head.

He tossed Natalie’s laptop aside and offered, “Are you considering getting a new one? All the second-hand computers here are cost- effective.”

“Oh, no, thanks.”

Although Natalie had already expected the worst, she was still very depressed.She took back her laptop and left the shop.

dejectedly.It took her a long time to finish this series of drafts.

Now, even if she had to redraw it, it would take at least a day to finish everything.

But the work had to be submitted by tomorrow morning. It would be futile to even try since there were only several hours left before the deadline. It was already 12:30 in the morning when Natalie came back home with a cloud over her head.

She walked into the dark living room quietly.

Suddenly, the lights went on, illuminating the whole apartment suddenly.

Natalie raised her hand to block the light and squinted.

Sebastian was leaning against the wall near the door, with his arms crossed over his chest.

Frowning slightly, his I lips pursed into a straight line, and his dark, sharp eyes seemed to penetrate hers.

“Why are you so late?”

“Well, I worked overtime today.There is a competition in our company,” she said, letting out a weary sigh.

Natalie was exhausted, both physically and mentally, so she went straight to her room.Sebastian’s heart sank as she didn’t bother to even look at him.He didn’t wait all night just to hear something like this.

Sebastian wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

“Spend some time with me,” he said, nestling his face in the crook of her neck.

Sebastian wanted to kiss her and make out with her.He couldn’t let his wait end in vain.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, he was a shrewd businessman.

“It’s already late.Aren’t you sleepy?”

His warm, steady breath blowing against her skin made Natalie restless.Her heart was crashing in her chest.

She turned around.

Seeing Sebastian’s handsome face, Natalie stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips.

A blush painted her cheeks.

“Well, I had to submit my designs for the competition by tomorrow morning.Unfortunately, one of my colleagues splashed coffee on my laptop.! just don’t have anything to submit now because the laptop broke down.I’m actually very upset about it.Can we talk tomorrow?”

Sebastian pursed his lips as he thought about it.

“Did your colleague splash coffee on your laptop on purpose, or was it an accident?”

Natalie didn’t want to talk about it.She felt annoyed to even think about Kaya.

“Her intentions don’t matter to me anymore.I have lost all my drawings, and it sucks.I put a lot of effort into it, you know.”

Natalie’s shoulders slumped with exhaustion.She had been busy all week designing for the project, but a cup of coffee had ruined all her efforts.

The expression on Natalie’s face answered Sebastian’s question.

“Oh, don’t beat yourself about it.It doesn’t matter if you don’t get selected this time.After all, you had just joined the company.”

Sebastian rubbed her hair comfortingly.Seeing the disappointment on her face, he kissed the corner of her lips.

“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

“Hmm.” Natalie nodded.

It was Kaya’s arrogance that irked her, and she hated the woman for destroying her hard work.

However, Sebastian’s kisses made her forget all about her work problems.

She was mesmerized by the man, who wrapped her with his love and warmth.

Sebastian pressed her against the wall and kissed her until the two got breathless.

“Since you can’t submit the design tomorrow, sleep early tonight.”

Natalie’s lips were numb, and the burning trails of his touches made her dizzy.

Sebastian somehow managed to wake up the wild side of her.

Natalie went to bed, replaying the kisses in her head over and over again.

The next morning, Kaya went to Natalie’s table with breakfast.

However, Natalie was still mad at her.She scowled at her and looked away.

“I thought about what happened yesterday again.Sorry I might sound harsh last night, but I was simply angry and hurt that you misunderstood me.Anyway, I bought you this sandwich and chocolate.Let’s just forget what happened yesterday, please.”

Kaya placed an exquisite box of chocolates on Natalie’s desk.

Although she sounded sincere, the complacency in her eyes was unmissable.

“This brand is very expensive.I don’t think you’d have tasted their chocolates before. They are delicious.” Although Kaya was smiling at her, Natalie somehow felt the woman was disgusting and hypocritical.

Natalie put the chocolate aside and ignored Kaya.

Just as she was about to sit down, the lights on the entire floor went off, and darkness engulfed them.“Gosh, is it a power outage?” someone exclaimed.

It wasn’t working hours yet, and most employees had just arrived at the company.

Therefore, the power failure only caused a commotion but didn’t affect their work in y any way.

“Contact the staff downstairs, and ask them to check the circuit.”

“Oh, thank God, I didn’t start my work.Otherwise, my designs would have been gone.”

A moment later, the employees were asked to take the day off because of the power failure.

The entire building had no power supply.

Tiffany walked out of her office and clapped her hands to get the attention of the people who had just come to work, looking around with confusion.

“We have just called the maintenance personnel to fix the problem. They said it would take a day to repair, so you all can go home.And considering the unexpected power outage, we are extending the deadline of the project. You can submit your design drafts tomorrow morning. The meeting will also be scheduled tomorrow.”

All the employees clapped and cheered.

“Great! Then, I can go on a date with my boyfriend today!”

“Much needed day off! I need to go back home and sleep well.I have been working overtime for the past few days, and I am exhausted.”

Everyone happily packed their things, ready to go back home.

Gerda nudged Natalie’s arm excitedly.

“Hey, Quinn, you are so lucky! You will have time to redo the design since we’re allowed to submit the drafts tomorrow.” “Yeah.I’ll go home and start working on it right away.”

Natalie grabbed her bag, grinning happily.She couldn’t believe her luck.

It was a great opportunity to prove herself.Gerda had heard a little about what happened between Natalie and Kaya yesterday.

Although she was not at the scene, her colleagues were gossiping about it all morning.It seemed like a serious problem, after all.

“One day is enough.Don’t exhaust yourself.By the way, Kaya has done the same thing in the past as well.Last year, during the evaluation process of intermediate designers, one of our colleagues encountered a similar situation.Kaya had damaged her work as well.Fortunately, that girl had a backup.So Kaya didn’t succeed.”

Natalie cast a scornful glance at Kaya.It turned out the woman was a repeat offender.

All employees were happy except for Kaya.She stood there dumbfounded as if struck by a lightning.

Kaya was stunned.She gritted her teeth and ran to Tiffany.

“Didn’t you say that today was the last day to submit the design? How could you suddenly extend the deadline? It’s unfair!” Kaya grew impatient as she saw all the employees happily leave the company.

After all, the power outage had ruined her plans.

Kaya had deliberately damaged Natalie’s laptop.She thought even buying a new laptop for the company would be worth the effort if she could defeat Natalie and get a promotion.

One day was enough for Natalie to redo her work, and she couldn’t let that happen.

“Our superiors have asked us to take the day off,” Tiffany said calmly.

“There is a problem with the circuit.We can’t do anything about it.The entire company is out of power.How will they submit the drafts, and how will we check them without even one computer that works?”

“Can’t you just ask the maintenance personnel to speed things up a little?” Kaya insisted.

She couldn’t give Natalie so much time.Otherwise, she wasn’t sure she could get this promotion.
