A Cue for Love chapter 256

If You Offend Me Again

“Who is jealous?” Natalie pursed her lips defiantly.

“You.”

“Whatever.” Natalie replied petulantly, “Your admirers fancy you. What does it have to do with me?”

Although Natalie wouldn’t budge, Samuel couldn’t help but chuckle when he noticed that Natalie was shy and avoiding his gaze.

At that moment, Samuel felt overjoyed even though Natalie didn’t admit that she was jealous.

Even though Samuel wasn’t sure if Natalie was fond of or merely dependent on him, he knew that she cared about him.

Hence, he was confident that it was a matter of time for Natalie to love him.

Natalie didn’t know what was on Samuel’s mind. Recalling what she said just now, Natalie felt frustrated for being jealous.

Even though Natalie and Samuel had something bothering them, they held hands and walked into the banquet hall.

The moment they entered the hall, the guests were unconvinced that they were the perfect match.

Instead of dressing up nicely, Samuel only wore his usual white shirt. Nevertheless, he was strikingly handsome, exuding a sense of grace and overbearingness that impressed everyone.

While Samuel was elegant, Natalie looked rather plain and ordinary.

“It can’t be! Who is this lady? She looks so ordinary!”

“Does she know how she looks? Is she worthy of standing beside Samuel?”

“Ah? That man must be Samuel Bowers, the legendary head of the Bowers family! He is indeed astonishingly handsome! However, Is there something wrong with his partner? I mean, isn’t she a bit too ugly even as his secretary?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Natalie was rendered speechless as she listened to the mean comments about her look.

Even if I look like this, I have never spent their money nor harmed them? Who are they to criticize my look?

The night air was chilly.

Shaking the glass of champagne, Natalie couldn’t help but feel that the world was a cruel place and that rumors could be deadly.

Initially, Samuel was a little worried that Natalie would be affected by the harsh comments. Once he saw the cold rage fill her eyes, he knew that he worried too much.

After all, Samuel was aware that the woman he loved was not a gentle rabbit but a wild cat with sharp claws.

Moreover, Samuel was confident that the woman he fancied was the best among the best in the world.

Suddenly, a man in a servant uniform came up to Samuel, bowed, and gestured for Samuel to follow him.

“Mr. Bowers, Old Mr. Leister would like to invite you to the inner hall to meet him alone.”

Since it was an invitation by an elder from the prominent Leister family, Samuel thought he shouldn’t reject it.

“Alright, I’m coming.”

After that, Samuel turned around, frowned and asked, “Can you handle it when I’m not around?”

“Of course.” Natalie flashed him a smile and blinked her crystal clear eyes repeatedly. “Old Mr. Leister has made it clear that he is inviting you alone. Just go. As for me, I won’t pick on others, yet I’ll never allow anyone to pick on me either.”

Knowing that Natalie could take care of herself, Samuel decided not to bring her along to the inner hall.

However, before leaving the banquet hall, Samuel whispered near Natalie’s ear to warn her.

“Drink less when I’m not around. Otherwise, I’m going to teach you a lesson after I come back.”

After that, Samuel and the butler of the Leister family turned around and walked toward the inner hall.

Hey, I’m already 24 years old and not an underaged girl!

Why must I be restrained from drinking? No way! I’ll drink as much as I want and see what Samuel can do to me!

As Natalie wanted to lift a glass of wine, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Natalie, it’s you.”
