Chapter 197
As expected, all men were the same. They were tender and loving in bed but a totally different person the next day.
Fortunately, Natalie was already used to how different Tobias was in and out of bed!
"I'm going on holiday soon. It's summer break and I will have a break for two months."
"Okay," Tobias looked at Natalie and motioned her to continue.
Natalie licked her dry lips and said, "I still want to go to work, but I promise you that I won't work at a bar or a hotel. I'll go to the supermarket to sell clothes or be a salesperson."
Tobias's eyes darkened, "Because of your father?"
Natalie nodded with difficulty, "Yes."
"I can just give you the money." Tobias said in a low voice.
Natalie shook her head and said, "There is no need to take over the heavy burden for my family. Moreover, I am capable of handling things myself."
Tobias was silent for a moment.
He already asked someone to solve this problem for Natalie. However, he decided not to say anything to not burst Natalie's pride.
"We will see about that,” Tobias gave a vague answer.
Natalie thought it was a yes.
Then, Natalie followed Tobias to his car, and he sent Natalie to school.
When she got out of the car, Tobias suddenly called out to Natalie. He rolled the window down and asked, "When is your break?"
Maybe Natalie's eyes were playing tricks on her, but Tobias' face seemed to be a little serious.
"In about a week," Natalie said.
"Alright."
When Natalie was about to leave for Tobias to drive away, he suddenly said, "Natalie, come here."
Natalie did not understand and walked over.
"Bend down."
Doubt flickered across Natalie's eyes. She bent down anyway.
A kiss pressed on her lips.
Tobias gave Natalie a deep kiss.
He looked at Natalie tenderly and said, "See you tonight."
His "see you tonight" actually meant more than what it was.
Natalie's face turned red immediately.
Fortunately, she asked Tobias to park the car in a remote place so that her classmates would not see how she was being chauffeured by a luxurious car. Otherwise, she would be extremely embarrassed to be seen by others.
Then, Tobias sped away.
Natalie gathered her thoughts as she walked to Agaphen University. Right then, her phone suddenly rang.
The phone call was from James.
On the phone, James had never been so excited that he was trembling, "Natalie, I-1 won five million, five million dollars."
Natalie was in shock. 5 million dollars?
She was wondering if her father went crazy thinking about money.
Natalie finally understood what was going on after her father's trembling explanation.
It turned out that at the construction site where James was at that day, each of them was given a lottery ticket. No one cared about it. They thought that they could not win. They even questioned why the construction site suddenly issued the lottery tickets as a perk.
However, someone did win the lottery, and it was James.
"Natalie, five million, five million dollars." James said as he trembled, "I told the boss that I'm resigning immediately. I will take the train home tonight and I'm not going to work from now on."
Natalie's eyes turned red after hearing what he said.
She could hear how excited her father was from his tone.
She thought to herself, "Dad is an honest man. Perhaps kind people do get repaid. The heavens were really in dad's favor. He actually won five million dollars from the lottery."
"Okay, Dad. Don't work anymore. From now on, you can just run some small business at home."
James thought the same way as Natalie.
After both of them chatted away excitedly, the tone of amazement suddenly became a little hesitant, "Natalie, shall we have a meal together when I get back? We ought to gather together as a family."
Natalie held her breath. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She knew that James was a very traditional man. The most important thing to him was to see his family being together, and reuniting was the most important thing. Even if there were broken pieces in this reunion.
She took a deep breath.
Alright, she should just have that meal. It is not like she would lose anything. As long as her father was happy, she could just pretend the rest did not exist.
"Okay, Dad," Natalie agreed.
"That's my girl," said James, his voice full of gratitude.
Natalie was in quite a good mood that day.
Although she would have dinner with Madison and Queenie, she was still elated that her father won five million dollars and would not need to go to the construction site to work anymore.
Therefore, Natalie was humming a tune in class.
It was not for long that she could no longer hum anything.
Yvonne saw the red patches on her neck.
"Natalie, what's this?" Yvonne looked at the red patch on Natalie's neck blankly.
Natalie was stunned for a moment and she could no longer hum to her tune.
Those were the hickeys that Tobias left on her neck from the night before!
She forgot to cover it up that morning. Natalie quickly pulled up the collar of her shirt and said, "Nothing. I was bitten by mosquitoes."
Yvonne had never been in love before so she believed what Natalie said.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
Her hands touched the hickeys on her neck and her lips could not help curling up.
Natalie also thought of Tobias' gorgeous face.
Even when they were apart for less than two hours, she seemed to be missing Tobias.
Tobias said that he would see her later that night, but Natalie wanted to see him then.
She had never felt like this before.
Natalie's eyelashes fluttered. She thought to herself that this was probably how it felt like being in love.
Then, a layer of light flashed in her eyes.
She wondered if Tobias was thinking about her as well.
Benjamin found Thomson Perry's, who was from the Perry Group, latest schedule.
He respectfully said to Tobias, "Mr. Whitlock, I will contact his secretary during Thomson's free time and ask her to arrange a meeting for you and Thomson."
Although Thomson and Tobias had never met, they were both important people in the business world. It was easy to arrange a meeting.
However, Tobias changed his mind.
"Don't arrange it." Tobias said in a low voice, "Check if Thomson has any business events in a week. If he has, arrange my schedule for me. I'll go too."
Benjamin was stunned.
He did not ask further and went to find out. After a while, Benjamin came back.
"Mr. Whitlock, ten days later, Thomson will be participating in a charity event on the Princess Cruise. What do you think?"
The Princess Cruise had an annual charity event to invite the famous from around the world. Every year, the Princess Cruise would invite Tobias, but he had never once gone.
He did not like to participate in any business events, especially those that were actually to socialize in the name of charity.
However, Tobias was quick to reply this time.
"I will go."
