Chapter 34 Waiting for Him to Have Dinner
Chapter 34 Waiting for Him to Have Dinner
Her body was tense, and she had the feeling of coming to a torture chamber.
However, the man didn't do anything more.
He changed into his pajamas and laid down next to her, then wrapped his arms around her body from
behind, locking her in his arms.
Natalia's spine stiffened.
A faint scent of pine filled the air, and the pillows were full of the cool scent belonging to this man.
That, coupled with the fiery warmth coming from her back, made her feel that she was surrounded by
the scent of him, and that she was like a captured bird, surrounded by tightness.
It was a good thing that Archie kept his words.
Although circling her like this would make her uncomfortable, there was no other move.
She was too sleepy, and at first she was able to fall asleep, but when the sound of the man's even
breathing came from behind her, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and before long, she
fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up from a nap, it was already sunset slanting down.
Natalia didn't expect to sleep for so long, and was startled when she woke up. It was already five
o'clock in the afternoon.
She rubbed her face, sobering up from sleep.
Looking at the side, Archie was not there.
She went downstairs and learnt that there was a temporary emergency at the company needed Archie
to deal with.
She asked Dottie, "What time did he leave?"
Dottie smiled and replied.
"He left at eleven in the morning, saying that you were tired and that we should not disturb you and let
you sleep longer."
Natalia lowered her eyes slightly.
Eleven in the morning meant he didn't sleep long.
Because of her, this man had not had a sound sleep from last night till now. A flash of guilt suddenly
rose up in her heart.
"Young lady, are you hungry?”
Shall we eat now or wait for the gentleman to join us?"
"Wait for him!"
Natalia said, heading upstairs. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Halfway through the walk, she rubbed her stomach and added.
"If there's any food, send to me. I'll have some first."
Dottie smiled and replied.
“Ok!”
Dottie brought her a bowl of fresh chicken soup along with a stack of small crispy cakes.
Natalia sat cross-legged on the sofa. While eating, she read the latest news about the Dawson family
on the internet.
The Dawson family was a powerful family in J City, plus Jessica's identity, neither financial reporters
nor entertainment reporters paid attention to the matter last night.
So, as soon as she entered the internet, the latest news was published.
However, everyone in the Dawson family had been bailed out.
After all, Clara wasn't involved in the exact operation of plotting against Natalia.
Despite the continued online crusade against her, the police couldn't find evidence and couldn't keep
the person detained, so they had to let her go.
But Alfred wasn't so lucky.
According to the clues provided by Natalia, the police found the cup in which Alfred had drugged. And
after the waiter's testimony, it was confirmed that Alfred had drugged it.
The evidence of the murder was complete and Alfred was facing criminal prosecution.
Natalia hooked her lips slightly.
It didn't surprise her in the slightest that the Dawson family would be bailed out.
Clara, that old fox, never left evident when she did something bad.
Even if there was a video taken by Archie as evidence, but that video, at most, could only cause public
opinion to denounce her, not as evidence of conviction.
Because she could have said that she was threatened and had no choice but to say that.
And in fact Archie did employ extraordinary means to threaten her.
Thinking about it, Natalia rubbed her chin.
She knew that the only reason why Archie had to record that video and post it was because a lot of
people had seen her and Alfred getting involved last night.
Although he saved her, most people were puzzled about her relationship with Alfred.
Because of what happened five years ago, Natalia's reputation in J City had not been very good.
Plus this, her reputation would be truly ruined!
Maybe she would have to carry not only the charge of stealing, but also a charge of cheating and
debauchery!
At that point, even if she had ten mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain.
Throughout the ages, there was no excuse for wanting to do this!
And Archie had obviously figured out Clara's thoughts a long time ago.
So he forced her to say the nasty things she had done herself and then recorded it on video!
It had proven to be very effective.
The online opinion was now almost entirely in favor of Natalia, although there are a few ones who
thought that the Dawson family was right.
But it was only a drop in the ocean and completely negligible!
And the Dawson family's stock dropped because of what happened last night!
There are a few that have clearly been rising well and are old established industries that have been
sailing along for so many years that it's reasonable to assume that something like last night was just a
family scandal and shouldn't have such a big impact.
But it still fell hard, going from all in the red to all in the green overnight.
After a moment's thought, Natalia understood who made it.
She hooked her lips slightly, fumbled for her phone, and made a call out.
Mccarthy Group.
Archie was in a meeting.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, with all the top brass of the branch present, all staring
nervously at the big man sitting in the main seat.
Suddenly, the phone buzzed and vibrated twice.
Everyone changed their faces at once, looking at each other with bewildered expressions.
Immediately afterwards, the president sitting in the main seat suddenly pull out his mobile phone from
his pocket, glanced at it, and then his taut face immediately turned like spring snow, the corners of his
mouth slightly curled up. He announced that the meeting was suspended and got up to walk out.
Everyone was stunned at once.
He used to hate to be disturbed when he was in a meeting.
Let alone a phone call, even a message could make him barge into a rage.
But what was going on today?
Not only did the president answer the phone, but he called a time out when the meeting was in the
thick of it?
Everyone instantly turned their curious gazes towards Brian.
Brian took a seat on the side and cleared his throat at the sight.
"Uh ...... there's been a big deal recently. The president is talking business!"
It dawned on the crowd.
If the president's special assistant, who could handle tens of billions of dollars without changing his
face, called it a big deal, then the deal must be very big indeed.
No wonder the president was flexible, even changing the principle of not answering the phone in
meetings for the other party!
The president was great!
The senior members of the crowd silently raised a surge of admiration for Archie in their hearts.
On the other hand, talking "big business".
Archie stopped in the corridor and picked up the phone.
“You finally wake up.”
Natalia was embarrassed, "Yes, didn't you say you would wake me up?
How come you let me sleep until now?"
Archie smiled lightly and his gaze was gentle, "Sorry, I got busy and forgot about it."
Natalia paused for a moment and suddenly asked.
"What time will you be back?"
“What?”
"I'm ...... waiting for you for dinner!"
She sounded awkward, like she was not used to talk like this, but still it couldn't hide the concern in that
tone.
It was time to eat and rest after a hard day's work!
