A Cue for Love Chapter 225 Offended His Lover Natalie gave him a look and replied matter-of-factly, âMr. Collins, these medicinal herbs have everything to do with me, but you donât.â
Christopher knew Natalieâs response was going to burn. Hence, he wasnât the least bit offended by it.
On the contrary, his gaze never left her as he observed all the subtle expressions on her face.
âLetâs move our conversation somewhere else, shall we? Letâs go to my office instead.â
Natalie gave the receptionist a meaningful glance. âDo I have the right to go up there without an appointment with Christopher?â
The receptionist, who was dressed to the nines, trembled in fear as Natalie fixed her with an icy stare.
âY-Yes! Yes, of course!â
Christopherâs eyes glinted coldly. How dare she try to make life difficult for my Natalie? Does she have a death wish?
Before leaving for the CEOâs office with Natalie, Christopher shot Nicholas a look. The latter immediately nodded his head in acknowledgment.
After Christopher and Natalie left, the receptionistâs legs gave way. She fell to the ground and begged, âIâm so sorry, Mr. Collins⦠I didnât know she was a good friend of the CEO⦠Iâm sorry, itâs all my fault, can you please give me another chance? I wonât do it again!â
Nicholas crouched down in front of her and replied coldly, âItâs no use apologizing to me. Youâve offended the most important person to Mr. Christopher.â
âM-Most important person?â The receptionist couldnât believe her ears. How did that ugly woman steal the CEOâs heart?
âSince youâve offended the most important person to Mr. Christopher. Hence, you, and everyone youâve referred into this company, will pay the price.â
Nicholas then whispered something to her in a low voice. The receptionist passed out after learning the consequences even though one could barely hear what Nicholas was saying.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the CEO office stared at Natalie with varying looks of curiosity and respect as she arrived at the top floor with Christopher in tow.
Natalie frowned. âYou could have just passed the snakeblood fruit over to Nicholas. You donât really have to do all this since youâre such a busy man.â
Anyone else would have been thrilled to be greeted personally by me, but sheâs keeping her distance instead. Christopher smiled bitterly and replied, âI owe it to you to be able to have many more years after this. What is it to me if I were to spend the rest of my time with you?â
Thisâ¦
Natalie wasnât the only one who heard it. In fact, every employee who had passed by the CEOâs office heard it loud and clear. They were stunned.
What a lunatic!
Natalie felt justified calling Christopher a lunatic.
All I did was cure him of his illness. Why does he have to make it sound so wrong? People will misunderstand.
âMr. Collins, can you please talk sense?â Natalie couldnât help but roll her eyes.
âI am talking sense. I mean every single word I just said.â
âWhatever.â
Natalie pursed her lips and followed Christopher into his office.
His office included the most modern furniture, the most sophisticated art, and the most luxurious decoration. It was tasteful, refined, and simple. However, the atmosphere of the room felt a little tense mainly because of its dark interior design.
Christopherâs secretary served Natalie a cup of coffee and two pieces of butter cookies.
The female secretary was dressed in a super short office skirt that showed off her beautiful curves and had her delicate features enhanced with clever cosmetics.
Natalie could feel the hostility emanating off of her as she met eyes with the female secretary. It was as if she wanted to eat Natalie up alive.
Natalie couldnât help but sigh. Why are women still envious of me when Iâve already put on such an ugly hyper-realistic mask?
âPlease enjoy.â The female secretary smiled sweetly at Christopher and left.
Christopher spoke up the moment she left. âYou donât like my secretary?â
