Chapter 219
The Imposter Bride
Callum gently patted her head and smiled. âI understand. Go on with your workâ
âAlright,â Natalia responded to Callum Without wasting any more time with idle chatter, Natalia headed back to her desk.
From his office, Magnus watched the interaction on the security cameras Nataliaâs rejection made him smile. His mood, however, quickly soured when he saw that Callum didnât leave but instead waited outside the Design Department for Natalia to finish her work Frowning, he picked up the phone and ordered. Have the irrelevant people removed from the company!
He was astounded by Callumâs audacity.
He needed to tread carefully, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble that might upset Natalia Hence, he decided to just make Callumn leave As someone known for his swift and decisive actions, Magnus wasted no time Soon, Callum received a call from his family about an emergency, forcing him to leave Relieved to see Callum leave through the security footage Magnus couldnât help but laugh triumphantly Did Callum think he could compete with Magnus was a death wish. He decided to let Callum live a bit longer. He wouldnât make a move, not until he had Nataliaâs full affection As expected. Callum was no match for him Everything was playing out just as Magnus had anticipated.
To ensure that Magnus and Natalia could spend time together without any interruptions, he made a few phone calls to the deputy head, coming up with various reasons to send the employees in the Design Department home early When Natalia finally looked up from her work, she found herself alone in the vast office.
âWhere did everyone go?â She wondered, feeling a chill run down her spine.
She quickly packed her things, ready to leave She had expected to find Callum waiting for her outside when she finished her work, but when she stepped out of her office she found the hallway empty She suddenly remembered Callumâs call. He had mentioned a family emergency and had to leave. This only made Natalia more fearful After closing the office door she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave. Just as she reached the elevator, a strong arm snaked around her waist from behind. âAh Natalia screamed, thinking she had run into a thug âDarling, itâs me, Magnus quickly assured her, surprised that his sudden appearance had scared her so much Had he known that his presence would frighten rather than delight her, he would have chosen a gentler approach.
âMagnusâ What are you doing here? Didnât you return to Melfort? Have you lost your mind?â Natalia asked, her heart settling down after recognizing his voice. She was in Magnus arms, and his familiar scent filled her nostrils. She struggled to break free, demanding. âMagnus, let me go. What do you think youâre doing?â
âThis is a company, Magnus You better not do anything reckless if my colleagues see us, youâll regret it!â
Did he think he was still in Melfort? Or that this was the Andersen Corporation, where he could do whatever he pleased?
Despite Nataliaâs protests, Magnus held her even tighter, closing his eyes to savor her scent.
For five years, he could only hold her like this in his dreams. Now, he could finally hold her in reality, and his heart was nearly bursting with joy. As soon as the elevator arrived, he cared Natalia out without a word. He had made up his mind to explain everything to her today âWhat are you doing. Magnus? Let me go. Have you gone mad?â Natalia demanded. Her body was stiffening in his arms. His arms were strong and unyielding, and she couldnât break free She hadnât been held like this in years. Even Callum had only camed her when she was injured Her heart was racing, and she began to struggle and cry out for help. She assumed that though the Design Department was empty, there would still be employees from other departments working overtime in the enormous Orange Horizon building. She hoped that someone would hear her cries and come to her aid But no matter how much she yelled, the entire office seemed to have vanished. There was no one there, not even a security guard, to open the door!
It was bizarre!
That was when Magnus, without any hindrance, simply scooped her up and carried her to his car Natalia was a bit frightened, unsure of where Magnus was taking her. âMagnus, where are you taking me? Let me go, Iâve told you everything. Thereâs no future for us its pointless for you to do this!â
She didnât want anything more to do with this man
