Desire to Protect!

As expected, Anthony ate everything on his plate clean.

Natalie's eyes widened. Did this President of Gratia just come back from the desert? Why does he look like he hasn't eaten in 1000 years?

His eating attitude just now didn't match his tyrannical style, which wore a luxury watch of more than 1 billion.

"Do you really like my cooking?"

Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of pride. "You are full of yourself, I only eat what is there! Your cooking is mediocre actually."

Natalie smiled. "I'm happy to see you eat my cooking even though you don't like it. No one has ever eaten my food so voraciously before. My aunt always mocked my cooking. She always said that only pigs would eat my cooking."

Anthony's handsome face immediately dimmed. "What do you mean?"

Only a pig wants to eat her food, does that mean he is a pig?

Natalie quickly explained. "I did not mean it. I mean I'm not good at cooking. It doesn't mean that you are a pig. In reality, you are much more beautiful than a pig!"

"Is that true?" Anthony's face turned black with anger.

"It seems my words keep sounding wrong today! The most important thing is that I will work harder in the future and cook you some dishes. I hope you like it!"

Natalie put a sweet and happy smile on her pretty face. Few women can display such a sweet smile.

"Why do you care about what I like?" Anthony looked at her carefully.

She sat casually on the other side of the sofa, took an orange, and peeled it.

"Well, it's natural for me! It's just, I always thought that you were very good to me. I know that you are secretly always worried about me.

The last time when I participated in the competition, you asked David to deliver food to my place. You also gave me the highest marks at the end of the competition. And that day, when I broke the entire store, you came to my rescue.

I'm a very emotional person. In this world, there are only a few people who treat me well in my life, so I appreciate all of them. You are one of them, Anthony. I'm really grateful to you."

As she spoke, a tear fell from her eye for some reason.

Anthony looked at her in bewilderment, he knew that this woman's words were sincere.

For some reason, he felt very depressed. Anthony wanted to hug her, protect her and give her warmth.

Natalie wiped her tears and put her hand around Anthony's neck. He hugged her tightly.

After a long time, she suddenly let go of her hand and stepped back with a smile. "Thank you, Anthony! I will remember you even after our contract ends."

Does she have limited time with him?

Anthony seemed to have forgotten, but Natalie had not!

Why did she suddenly mention this?

His handsome face suddenly darkened again. "Natalie, remember your contract! Don't fall in love with me!"

"Don't worry, I won't fall in love with you! I don't have the right or the power to love anyone now." Natalie smiled and wiped her tears casually.

Yes, Natalie still hasn't forgotten her grudge. She didn't want other people to be dragged into this bloody story, and she wanted to face the parasites of her life alone. Therefore, she feels unworthy to love or be loved. Moreover, getting the love of Anthony Stefano for her was just an illusion.

In reality, Anthony wasn't planning on coming to his apartment today. But after it was time to go home, he unknowingly drove towards this apartment for no reason.

Besides, he didn't want to leave this place after coming. He thought just by sitting with her, he already felt that it was more interesting than his job.

This damned woman must have drugged her food. How could he be addicted to it?

Looks like next time, he should not eat the food she made.

Seeing Natalie's tiny figure in tears, Anthony was also in a bad mood.

He wanted to reach out and wipe it off her face.

His half-stretched hand finally reached her face.

"Do you think I give you permission to cry?" His handsome face was cold, and the tone of his words sounded tyrannical.

"Sorry, I'm just a little sad!"

"Don't talk nonsense like that. It's your job now to make me happy, let's smile quickly!"

He reached out and pinched her chin. Natalie looked at him shyly, her eyes wet and smiling reluctantly.

Anthony's breath was a little chaotic, he couldn't hold it anymore. He lowered his head and gently wiped her tears with his hand.

This woman is terrifying. Why does she always make him lose control!!

Why did her tears make his heart so angry?

Was what David said true? Is he starting to fall in love with Natalie?

…

The next day, after Natalie finished work, she received a call from Andre.

"Miss, Doxia and T-Rey will soon be registering their companies as a single entity. Suppose the major shareholders invest in any of the companies before this merger occurs. In that case, the equity of the shares will be divided equally, and your shares will not be able to make you speak in the company anymore. In addition, I heard that the location of this financial meeting is highly guarded.

Although several media outlets have been invited, the location address has not been announced. I heard that to ensure safety, Master William specially asked dozens of bodyguards to guard. Miss Natalie, if you really have a plan, it's best to get it done as soon as possible."

Andre's tone was full of anxiety. The success or failure of the merger lies with Natalie.

"Okay Andre, I understand. Thanks for the information."

Hanging up the phone, Natalie realized that the fateful day had arrived as the days passed.

Her palms clenched unconsciously.

But how will she do it?

Given her current self, even if she knew the location of the meeting, she would not be able to attend. And if she missed this meeting, she would lose everything. After the two companies merged, Doxia was no longer hers.

When that happened, Reynold and Erlyn would get their dream treasure.

No, she didn't want to see that.

"Natalie, there's a call from the president's office for you. There's a design job that requires your strength." Yuna looked at Natalie's face strangely.

It's really strange, this new employee is not so sexy and beautiful. But how did she get the president's attention? She himself had felt how difficult it was to enter the Gratia president's office.

"Okay ma'am, I'll be right there!"

Natalie certainly didn't dare to ignore it. She quicklu cleaned herself up and rushed to Anthony's office.

At the office door, Natalie suddenly heard David's voice speaking. "Young master, Master William has sent an invitation letter regarding the incorporation of his company. He hopes you can inject capital..."

Natalie was surprised. Her steps slowed and she stood quietly behind the door, listening.

Then, Anthony snorted coldly. "Didn't I already give you my answer? Don't bother wasting our energy on a small company like them. Refuse their invitation!"

"Will do, young master!"

When Natalie heard those words, she suddenly made a desperate decision in her heart. While this method would touch Anthony's bottom line, it was also the only way he could think of.
