My Heart only Beats for You

"Merry, I didn't say that he is my father," Natalie explained weakly.

"That's what you implied, anyway." Merry huffed. "My nephew is very pissed off at being teased like a fool for nothing. I always thought that you were a nice girl, but instead, you made fun oflike this. Oh! I'm still so mad." Merry stomped away in a fit after she finished talking.

Natalie stood on the spot with a lump in her throat as she fought back tears.

She felt terrible for that entire morning, like a hole was carved into her heart.

She wasn't sure if she was upset about her conversation with Tobias or because she felt wronged by Merry's accusations.

Tobias was attending a meeting that afternoon, so she didn't need to send him lunch.

Thus, she had lunch with Linda instead.

Natalie stared into the distance as she toyed absentmindedly with her fork. She seemed preoccupied.

Linda raised her brows in concern as she noticed that there was something amiss with her.

"Natalie, what's wrong?" Natalie blinked twice, then stared at Linda in bewilderment. "Huh! It's nothing." She chuckled half-heartedly and shoved a spoonful of potatoes into her mouth.

The food tasted bland on her tongue. Did the chef forget to add salt to the dish? "Look at yourself." Linda frowned and said, "You look like you just went through a heartbreak." Linda had had a breakup previously, too. Besides, she had also witnessed her friends being heartbroken. Natalie looked exactly like it.

Natalie immediately snapped out of her thoughts.

Heartbroken? How could she be heartbroken? She had never, ever fallen in love with anyone before.

After lunch, Natalie hurried back to her office.

Linda's comment about her being heartbroken kept replaying in her mind.

She gave it a serious thought, and after a while, she finally cup with a logical explanation.

She must have fallen in love with Tobias.

But before she could confess her feelings, Lucy suddenly appeared in their life, and it hit her hard.

And paired that with what Tobias had told her that morning...

Their flirtatious and ambiguous relationship ended before it really began.

Admittedly, Natalie was crushed.

However, after thinking for a moment, she comforted herself that it was best to end their relationship.

A man like Tobias was totally out of her league from the start.

Perhaps those things that he had told her before were just a joke.

She blamed herself for being stupid enough to fall for it.

As she was lost in her thoughts, an idea suddenly crossed her mind.

That afternoon, Natalie arrived at the entrance of the president's office before it was tto get off work.

She stood at the door and hesitated for a long tuntil Benjamin cup to her.

"Hi, Miss Godfrey," he greeted from behind.

Natalie jumped, caught off guard.

When she turned around and realized that it was Benjamin, her face flushed, and she stuttered, "Simp... Mr. Simpson." "Is there anything that I can do for you, Miss Godfrey? Are you looking for Mr. Whitlock?" Benjamin looked at her questioningly.

Natalie licked her lower lip as she thought of an excuse.

Now that she was standing outside of Mr. Whitlock's office, it was obvious that she was looking for him.

"Yes," she replied, her voice wavering.

"You can go in, Miss Godfrey. Mr. Whitlock is in." Benjamin grinned politely.

"Alright." Natalie had no choice but to knock on the door.

"Miss Godfrey," Benjamin called out as she was about to knock on the door.

"What is it, Mr. Simpson?" Benjamin's face flushed as he smiled coyly at her.

Natalie stared at him. "What's wrong?" "Miss Godfrey, I want to ask about Miss... Miss... Miss Simpson. How is she doing?" Benjamin stammered and finally finished his sentence.

Natalie paused to think for a long tbefore realizing that the "Miss Simpson" that Benjamin was referring to was Yvonne.

"Oh! You're talking about Yvonne. She's doing good." "That's good, that's good." Benjamin nodded and darted away quickly as if he was running away from her.

She glanced at him suspiciously as he left.

"Cin," a deep and cold voice summoned.

Natalie sucked in a deep breath and entered the office.

Tobias was staring down at a pile of documents. Her gaze landed on his tall and lean frdressed in a smart and tidy suit, his hair perfectly brushed back. He looked just like a business elite you would see on television. Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

The man sitting across her was the president of YS Group-her big boss.

He would never associate himself with her in the first place.

She shouldn't have thought too much into it.

"What's the matter?" Tobias glanced up when the incomer remained silent for a long time.

When he realized that his visitor was Natalie, his cold eyes instantly softened, and his tone becgentle. "Natalie." "Mr. Whitlock." Natalie forced a smile.

"Cand take a seat. Is something the matter?" He gestured to the seat across him.

Natalie shook her head and said, "Mr. Whitlock, I'll just sit over here. There's something that I want to talk to you about." "Sure." Tobias stared attentively at Natalie with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Natalie mustered up her courage and announced, "Mr. Whitlock, I would like to resign." "Resign?" Tobias narrowed his eyes at her, and his tone betrayed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Natalie withered under his stare, a wave of guilt suddenly washing over her.

Taking a few deep breaths, she silently reassured herself. Why should she feel guilty about quitting? "Mr. Whitlock, I am not leaving my position in YS Group. I just want to quit the nanny job," she explained. After all, YS Group was a reputable company, and she wouldn't quit such an ideal job.

Besides, if she were to work only in YS Group, she wouldn't need to be near Tobias most of the tanymore.

"Why?" He fixed his gaze on her, staring deeply into her eyes.

She felt pressured under his intense, piercing gaze. salh th on Coom Find get website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

After she thought of a reason, she licked her dry lips and replied, "Mr. Whitlock, I haven't been feeling Well these days. often feel dizzy. You see, my current health won't allowto be a nanny and take care of children." He scanned her up and down as she finished talking. He was speechless for a moment before he went and stood in front of her, his tall figure looming over her.

She instinctively shrank a step back guiltily.

"Let's go to the infirmary." Tobias's thin lips moved slightly as he spoke.

"Huh?" "You're not in good health. Let's go to the infirmary for a check-up." Natalie was stunned by his response. Things didn't go as she expected.

Sweat collected on her forehead as she realized she had gotten herself into trouble, and there was no turning back now.

She didn't want to go to the infirmary, but it was Tobias's order, and she didn't dare to refute him.

In the end, she followed Tobias to the infirmary of the company, her footsteps light and hesitant along the way.

When the doctors in the infirmary saw that Natalie cin together with Tobias, they were extra attentive and examined her from top to bottom meticulously. It was impossible for her to feign any signs of sickness. After careful examination, the doctor said to Natalie, "You're perfectly healthy." Natalie's eyebrows knitted in frustration.

Then, she touched her forehead weakly and purposely gave a weak whine, "Is it true, Doctor? But I've been feeling very dizzy recently." "It's all in your head," the doctor said with extrcertainty. "You're in good health, so why would you feel dizzy without reason?" This time, she was out of excuses.

When they walked out of the infirmary, Tobias shot Natalie an insinuating look.

She was so embarrassed that all she wanted to do was dig a hole and hide inside.

"Why would you want to quit if you're in such good health?" He asked with a raised brow.

Natalie cleared her throat.

Instead of mentioning her own physical health, she changed the topic. "Mr. Whitlock, I still want to resign. I don't like children, and I don't want to take care of them." "You don't like children?" He drawled.

Natalie bobbed her head unwillingly.

The truth is, she liked Hayden very much, but she didn't want to stay in the Whitlock villa anymore, so she had to lie and say that she did not.
