Chapter 55
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Natalie was embarrassed beyond words. "I didn't mean it. I just wanted to hit the belt..." Natalie stuttered as she tried to explain.
Tobias' breathing paused.
"Natalie Godfrey! You'll just make me think that you're trying to seduce me!" Tobias exclaimed menacingly.
Natalie was embarrassed. She did not mean it that way.
God could testify that she had absolutely no intention of seducing Tobias.
Natalie could only lower her head and continue to untangle her hair. Tobias's eyes darkened as he stared at a pair of slender white hands unbuckling his belt.
"Can I try and unbuckle your belt?" Natalie suggested.
Tobias snorted but did not object.
Natalie took his silence as his consent and made up her mind to unbuckle his belt. However, she realized that she did not know how to unbuckle the belt after fidgeting with it for some time.
She could not get her hair out of the belt or unbuckle the belt. She was exasperated by her own stupidity.
Tobias was speechless when he noticed that her hair was still stuck even though she was fumbling with his belt for a long time.
His face darkened as time passed, hence he loosened the belt by himself.
Natalie was about to pull out her hair when she spotted some of her hair was stuck in his trousers' zipper.
She wanted to cry. What had she done wrong? Why did God punish her like this? Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"It's stuck in the zipper..." Natalie said weakly.
Tobias glared at her.
"Can I unzip your zipper?" Natalie asked cautiously.
Tobias' eyes darkened instantly! D*mn it, did this woman know what she was talking about?
He wished he could press himself against this silly woman and devour her.
Tobias took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse.
He pulled down the zipper with gritted teeth and hissed, "Get your hair out of it."
Natalie trembled and pulled out her hair but her eyes fell on the zipper.
"Natalie!" The man's eyes were burning and his tone was so icy that it could freeze others.
Natalie jumped.
"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!" Natalie ran back to her bedroom.
Tobias's breathing was uneven. He stared at Natalie's back as she ran away.
Over the years, there were countless women who tried to seduce him. They used all kinds of methods that could drive men crazy but he remained unmoved.
However, Natalie could ignite his inner flame with just a few words inadvertently.
After calming down, Tobias went to the bathroom to take a cold shower and finally managed to dispel the heat within him.
The next day, Tobias was gone when Natalie woke up.
Natalie ate her breakfast and thought that it would be best if he was not around, or else it would be very embarrassing.
Natalie continued to blush when she recalled what happened the previous day. God knew why she was so unlucky the previous night.
After breakfast, Natalie read some books. She felt a little tired after reading for more than two hours. She rubbed her eyes and decided to go for a walk.
After notifying Aunt Lee, Natalie went out of Themyscira Apartment. She did not expect that she would be lucky today.
Shortly after she left the apartment, two individuals, who looked like they worked at a TV station, stopped Natalie. After asking Natalie a few questions, they offered her a meal voucher.
"Miss, Congratulations on getting the right answers. Here, this is a buffet lunch voucher for Centurank Restaurant," one of the individuals who seemingly worked at a TV station said with a smile.
Natalie was delighted to get the buffet voucher. She checked the time and realized that the deadline was today.
She checked the address of the buffet restaurant and realized that it was not far from Themyscira Apartment. Therefore, Natalie decided to go at noon.
She assumed that the restaurant offered in the voucher would not be a nice restaurant. However, she realized that she was wrong when she arrived at Centurank Restaurant. It was a high-end buffet restaurant.
After picking some food, Natalie found an empty table to sit down and eat. Concurrently, a man passed by with a few plates. The man tripped and his plates went flying towards her.
It was so sudden that Natalie was scared out of her wits.
The plates were about to crash onto Natalie's head when a figure suddenly rushed over and caught the plate firmly.
"Miss, are you okay?" The man smiled brightly.
Natalie was in a daze.
This man was really good-looking.
She thought that Tobias was the most handsome man in the world but the man in front of her was on par with Tobias.
Unlike Tobias' tough and masculine looks, this man was gentle and even somewhat enchanting but fortunately, he was not too feminine.
His skin was very fair and his facial features were flawless. His beautiful eyes were especially captivating and it could charm anyone who looked at his eyes.
"Thank you for your help," Natalie came to her senses and thanked him.
She did not pay too much attention to the man's appearance. She was stunned momentarily but regained herself quickly.
The man sat opposite of Natalie and asked, "Can I sit here?"
This man saved her from a potential disaster previously, thus Natalie could not find any reason to refuse him and she simply nodded.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Remington." The man stretched out his hand.
His hand was very fair and it was even more beautiful than a woman's hand.
Natalie frowned. She could tell that the man was trying to hit on her but she did not like men who liked to hit on women.
She used to sell wine in a bar, hence she saw a lot of men who would hit on any beautiful girl and she despised men for their actions.
"There's no need for us to know each other," Natalie replied bluntly.
"No, we must get to know each other," Remington replied in a serious tone.
"Why?" Natalie was a little unhappy.
"You'll definitely want to get to know me if you know how much I've put in to get to know you," Remington replied beamingly. Natalie rolled her eyes. No matter how she looked at it, all he did was just block a plate for her.
Remington explained unhurriedly, "First, I sent someone to investigate your location in order to know where you are. Then, I asked someone to pretend to be a staff member from the TV station to give you a buffet voucher, so you would come to this restaurant. After you came, I arranged for someone to pretend to trip himself when he walked by you, so plates would be sent flying your way."
Remington paused for a moment before adding, "I put in so much effort to leave an impression."
Natalie was completely dumbfounded.
He added smilingly, "Do you want to know me after knowing that I've put in so much effort?"
His smile was so charming that it could freeze time.
