Chapter 144
His laughter caught the attention of several other guards in the security office, and they all walked over.
"Marcus, why are you laughing loudly?"
"Are you happy because of this beautiful lady?" A security guard looked at Natalie.
Marcus, the one who burst into laughter pointed at Natalie and said, "This woman said that she is Mr. Whitlock's wife! Haha! Oh my God, I'm laughing so hard."
The other security guards immediately looked at Natalie oddly, they clearly thought she was insane.
Natalie wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
"Whatever, I'm going in," Natalie was about to walk in.
However, she couldn't just walk into the prestigious YS Group. She was blocked immediately by several security guards.
She had no choice but to call Tobias.
But no one answered the phone for a long time.
Natalie called him several times, but to no avail.
She was completely helpless.
Only then did she realize Tobias was a man of great power and influence, whereas she was just like any other average girl from the streets. She faced him everyday at home, and she was so used to him that she forgot about his identity.
It's hard for her to even meet Tobias.
At this moment, an indescribable emotion suddenly drowned Natalie.
It was so difficult to even meet Tobias, what was she even fantasizing about?
Natalie left with the lunch box in the end.
When she left, Marcus shouted behind her, "Stop reading those romance novels, little lady, they're just filled with nonsense."
Natalie's footsteps halted momentarily, then she walked away without hesitation.
When she got home, she ate straight out of the lunch box.
She was in such a hurry that she didn't even eat when she left earlier.
Looking at the cheap white lunch box she bought, Natalie thought, perhaps this type of lunch box was only suitable for her to use. Tobias was too good for this.
Aunt Lee was anxious when she saw Natalie's sunken expression.
It seemed that Natalie did not manage to patch things up with Tobias despite her trip to deliver the lunch box personally.
Aunt Lee wanted to comfort her, but Natalie had already gone upstairs.
While Natalie tossed and turned in bed, she could feel that the blossoming feelings she had for Tobias were slowly withering away.
The next day, Natalie woke up.
She casually asked Aunt Lee whether Tobias had come home the day before.
Aunt Lee hesitated.
"Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock must have been busy with his work. He hasn't come back yet."
Natalie's gaze was full of bitterness.
This was within her expectations, but she still felt a little sour.
After breakfast, Natalie was all packed to leave for the campus. When she walked to the bus station, she bumped into Remington.
She paid no mind to him.
She didn't blame Remington for what he said to her last time, which made her act out of her mind and asked Tobias that question. If she hadn't, he probably wouldn't give her the cold shoulder right now.
However, Remington has his freedom of speech, it was up to him what he wanted to say.
She just no longer wanted to talk to him, that's all.
"Natalie," He smiled and greeted her. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Natalie turned a blind eye to Remington's greeting, completely ignoring him.
No matter what Remington said after that, she chose to ignore them all.
The bus was particularly late and they had been waiting for a long time. Remington continued to tease Natalie, but she gave no reaction.
In the end, he sighed deeply. "Natalie, do you know how much I've sacrificed to see you this morning? I was still in America yesterday. I took a plane last night and got here this morning. I rushed over here without any sleep, yet you're just ignoring me."
Natalie glanced at him and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
Remington's handsome face immediately showed a funny expression.
"Natalie, you really are a heartless beauty."
As soon as his words fell, the bus pulled up.
Natalie got aboard and Remington followed suit.
He sat down beside Natalie as usual.
"Also, I never took the bus, and yet I've taken it several times for you. Natalie, can't you feel my sincerity at all?"
Natalie kept silent.
At this moment, Remington suddenly took out a small square box.
The box was so small that Natalie wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't taken it out.
When he opened the box, a rush of cold air poured out, inside of it was an ice cream stick.
She didn't know how this ice cream was kept, but it was kept perfectly cold in the box.
There was a flash of surprise in Natalie's eyes.
Remington smirked, "Natalie, this ice cream is very popular in the United States recently. It hasn't been imported here yet. All the pretty girls in the States love this. I flew all the way there yesterday to buy it for a pretty girl. Natalie, won't you accept my sincerity?"
Remington's smile was as cunning as a fox's.
Natalie's breath halted.
"How do you know that I love ice cream?" She asked subconsciously.
The ice cream was her favorite, but no one except Yvonne and Sebastian knew about it.
Not only did Remington know, but he also specially went to the United States to buy this ice cream for her and brought it back.
Remington's eyes curved into a smile as he said, "When we first met at that buffet, do you remember how much ice cream you ate? I could tell you must love ice cream."
Natalie was taken aback.
Aside from being surprised at Remington's observation skills, she was more shocked by something else.
Remington was so thoughtful towards her.
Although she had no feelings for Remington, his effort and sincerity still dazed her.
After a slight daze, Natalie took a deep breath.
She looked at Remington seriously, "Mr. Remington, I need to tell you clearly. I really don't have any feelings for you. You don't have to do all this for me."
There was still a smile on his lips. "Natalie, if Tobias wasn't in the picture, would you have feelings for me then?"
His tone was casual, as if he was chatting with Natalie about the weather.
Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
If it weren't for Tobias, would she have feelings for him?
Undeniably, Remington was handsome. He was indeed an attractive man.
Unfortunately, there was no "if" in this world.
Moreover, Natalie did not like a man who was too fickle in love.
In her opinion, love meant forever with your soulmate.
"Mr. Remington, there's no such assumption. Besides, a man who attracts everyone is not my type of guy."
Remington merely smiled.
After a while, he took out the ice cream and handed it to Natalie. "What about just being friends with me? Would you be willing to?"
The ice cream in her hand gave Natalie chills.
Natalie subconsciously looked at Remington.
He was grinning faintly at her.
"Just friends?" She asked.
"Just friends," He said firmly.
After thinking for a moment, Natalie raised her eyebrow and said, "If it's pure friendship, then of course I am willing."
She hated the fact that Remington was pursuing her, but she did not dislike him as a person.
