Even if there was a huge misunderstanding between them, he wouldn’t have been so indifferent to her.She had noticed that the way Brandon looked at her just now was estranged and cold, as if he was looking at a total stranger.lt was as though the love they had cultivated over the past two years had disappeared overnight.
Johanna sighed and looked at Natalie helplessly.
“Do men need a reason to cheat? Natalie, Brandon’s attitude proves otherwise!”
Seeing that Natalie was dead serious, Beal looked at her and asked, “My dear, do you really trust Brandon that much?”
Natalie nodded without missing a beat.She trusted Brandon with her life, as he did with her.
“I have to figure out why he is suddenly acting like this.Dad, Mom, you can go back to Barnes first.I’II take it from here.”
Johanna clutched her daughter’s hand worriedly.
“You haven’t fully recovered yet, and Brandon doesn’t seem to care about you.We can’t just leave you alone in Seacisco!”
“How’s this? We can investigate together. Your mother and I will send someone to investigate everything that happened to
Brandon during the past few days after he fainted.If anything comes up, we’ll call you.”
Holding Natalie’s shoulders, Beal added, “If you need anything, just tell us. You’re not alone anymore, Natalie.”
Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes.She threw her arms around her parents tightly. Yes, she had parents now, and she didn’t have to fight against the whole world alone.
After the Whites left, Natalie didn’t waste any time.She headed towards the meeting room, intending to wait for Brandon’s meeting to end.She planned to make it clear to him as soon as possible.
However, before she reached the meeting room, she bumped into Charis. They hadn’t seen each other in months, and Charis wore long hair now.Her long curly hair fell over her shoulders, making her look sharp yet mature.She looked like a professional office lady..
Charis smiled in mock pleasant surprise..
“Miss White, long time no see! I heard from Brandon yesterday that you were in hospital. What brings you here?”Natalie smiled faintly.
“Miss Turner, what a coincidence! I wanted to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Charis asked calmly, as if she was willing to help Natalie.
exactly happened to Brandon?” Natalie didn’t know how to trick Charis into telling her the truth, so she just asked.
straightforwardly.”! knew you’d ask about this.”
Charis’s eyes flashed.
“At the time, Brandon thought you were dead and he was devastated.lt was I who stood by his side while he went through difficult times.So Brandon and I have reconciled.”
“I’m asking why Brandon is so cold to me,” Natalie said through clenched teeth.
She could hardly control her anger.
Charis burst into laughter, as though she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“How on earth would I know about your private affairs with Brandon? Miss White, I am afraid you’ve asked the wrong person”
Natalie fell silent for along time.She didn’t believe a single word that came out of Charis’s mouth Natalie knew that Brandon wouldn’t give up on her so easily.
He wouldn’t have rested until he found her.
Moreover, Brandon was not one to reconcile with his enemies.He was so hostile to Charis previously.
Natalie knew he wouldn’t even allow her to be around him.
Most importantly, he would never write off what Charis had done so easily.
glanced at the time on her watch and broke into a smile.
“Miss White, if you want to talk, we should do this some other timed really have to go to that meeting with Brandon now.So sorry.”
She bowed her head slightly to show how “sorry” she was.
Then she walked passed Natalie almost arrogantly.
Charis had expected that Natalie would come looking for Brandon.
In fact, she had already prepared for her return.
When Charis heard from Brandon’s assistant that Natalie and the Whites were waiting for him in the reception room, she reminded
Brandon in a low voice that he didn’t like dealing with Natalie’s parents before.
“If you feel it’s too troublesome to face them now, I can handle it for you,” she then added.
After a few seconds of silence, Brandon nodded and then walked out.Before that, Charis had mentioned to Brandon more than once that Natalie was head over heels in love with him.
Charis made sure to plant an idea in Brandon’s mind that Natalie was nothing but a hopeless romantic who was a disturbance to his work.
After all, Charis knew Brandon very well.
When the two were in high school, countless girls chased after him.He’d politely refuse them initially, but if the girls kept pestering, he’d grow very impatient.He hated hopeless romantics the most.
So the more Natalie tried to get close to Brandon, the more he’d repel her.
Charis guessed that the reason why Brandon had a crush on Natalie in the first place was that she had left a good impression on him when they first met.
This time, Natalie wouldn’t be that lucky..
Looking at Charis’s receding figure, Natalie had to support herself on the wall.She felt a splitting headache and was at a total loss.
Charis was her enemy, but now, this woman somehow became the person that Brandon trusted the most.
It was ridiculous! Besides, Natalie knew what kind of person Charis was.
After thinking for a while, she decided to keep on waiting for Brandon.
Once upon a time, Natalie had believed something that Charis said, which resulted in a fight between her and Brandon.
Learning from her past mistakes, Natalie refused to believe anything Charis said now.n ove loz.c om As long as Brandon trusted Natalie, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to deal with Charis together.
But what worried Natalie was whatever Charis had done to Brandon to make him change so dramatically.
Not only him, but the Larson Group also changed drastically.
employees had been replaced so wantonly..
Brandon would never do such a thing.
It seemed like Charis’s deliberate arrangement to prevent people from noticing Brandon’s abrupt change in personality.
What could Charis be hiding? Brandon…
What had happened to him? Natalie’s mind raced as she waited quietly at the door of the meeting room.
No matter what it was, she wanted to hear it from Brandon himself.
Evening fell in Seacisco.
The skies turned purple and blue, slowly covering the city in darkness, and the streetlights lit up one by one.
Natalie had been waiting outside the meeting room for a long time.She stared out the window blankly.
Brandon’s strange behavior earlier kept replaying in her mind.
Suddenly, someone called her name from behind.
“Natalie!” Natalie turned around and found Tiffany standing behind her.
“When did you get back to Seacisco? And why didn’t you tell me you were here?” Tiffany complained, smiling playfully.
She had only heard from her colleagues that Natalie was back, so she came to see her as soon as she got off work. However, the second she saw Natalie’s face, she instantly knew that something was wrong.
“What happened? You look pale.” Natalie forced a smile.
fine, don’t worry.l’m just waiting for Brandon.”
Sensing that Natalie didn’t want to talk about it, Tiffany didn’t press her further. The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Just as Tiffany was about to leave, Natalie suddenly asked, “Has anything big happened in the Larson Group recently?”
With pursed lips, Natalie looked especially grim.
Tiffany squinted slightly as she mulled over Natalie’s question.
Then she broke into a smile.
“Yes, something did happen somewhat recently.”
“What?” Natalie looked at her expectantly, her heart racing.
Perhaps what Tiffany was about to say had something to do with the sudden change in Brandon’s character!
“Well, we set up a branch in Barnes, and it’s been prospering.! also heard that Brandon plans to bring the company to the northwest.That’s something big, isn’t it? Perhaps in the near future, the Larson Group’s branches will be all over the country!
You’re so lucky you married such a capable man, Mrs.Larson!” Tiffany joked with a silly grin.
