Chapter 515 He stood in the aisle between Natalie and Derekâs seats, carefully scrutinizing Derekâs business card. At last, he threw it back onto Derekâs pizza box.
âIf you want to cooperate with Draco Wesley,â he said to Derek coldly, âyou should pay a visit to W Marks in person. Itâs insincere if you ask someone else to pass your card along. Plus, donât bother my wife.â
Derek pursed his lips and stood up straight. He looked at Brandon with an unfriendly expression. Brandon, who was half a head taller than Derek, put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Derek churlishly.
The two men eyeballed one another, and the atmosphere grew tense.
Afraid they might fight, Natalie reached out her hand and pulled Brandon back into his seat. âThe plane is about to land,â she urged. âDonât just stand there.â
Derek returned to his seat and, for the moment, their battle was adjourned.
The stewardessâ voice soon came over the loudspeaker; the plane had arrived at Barnesâ airspace.
Watching the clouds billowing past the window, Natalie suddenly heard the man complaining. âYou went to a show and brought back an admirer.â
She turned to look in the direction of the complaint. Brandon was casually reading a magazine, as though nothing had happened. He didnât even look like heâd just been speaking.
Natalie was amused. In the past, when Charis had pestered Brandon, Natalie had been jealous, too. Brandon hadnât known about that, though.
âI didnât expect you to be like this,â Natalie said playfully. She turned her head to look at Brandon, her eyes smiling. Brandon frowned. He didnât say anything more, but began flipping the pages of the magazine more aggressively.
Just as the plane was about to land, it jolted suddenly, several times.
The smile on Natalieâs face disappeared, and her chest tightened. She instinctively held Brandonâs hand.
At first, Brandon didnât respond. Then, when he saw that Natalie was scared, he immediately held her hand and said, âDonât worry. Itâs normal for the plane to toss up and down a bit when it lands.â
Natalie nodded silently, still covering her chest. Gradually, she managed to calm down.
Brandon and Natalie held each otherâs hand tightly until the plane came to a stop.
âLet go of me already,â said Natalie, flustered. âIâm going to take my backpack.â Blushing, she tried to get rid of him. Brandon still held her hand.
Graciously, he took the backpack from Natalie, and they exited the plane together affectionately.
Derek walked behind them, his eyes hidden behind sunglasses, watching their intertwined hands.
âStop watching. Letâs go. We have something important to do.â Seeing Derek absent-minded, Wilder elbowed him to get his attention.
âWilder, do you think married couples still feel passionate about each other after many years?â The sudden question startled Wilder, who was still single.
âHow should I know? Only married couples know how marriage works.â Afraid that Derek might really fall in love with Natalie and get himself into trouble, Wilder warned him, âWhatever it is that youâre thinking, stop it. Iâve heard that Brandon and his wife have a really strong relationship that no one can destroy. Besides, the Larson Group is not easy to deal with. Your career is on the rise. Donât misstep at this moment.â
But Derek didnât take Wilderâs words seriously.
Love and women were just games for him. He was once involved with a married woman, and she left her husband for him; but in the end, Derek didnât choose to be that stupid woman.
On the other hand, Natalie wasnât interested in him at all, which caught his attention. He hadnât been so excited for a long time.
âWilder, I know what Iâm doing.â Derek put on a mask and took his backpack, walking forward in a relaxed posture.
Feeling helpless, Wilder patted his forehead and sighed. Even if Derek told him there was nothing to worry about, Wilder knew that he was definitely planning something. âDonât go through the common exit. I was informed by the company that many fans are waiting for you outside there.â As he spoke, Wilder pulled Derek towards the VIP exit. âLetâs leave quietly through the VIP exit. We still have work to do in the afternoon.â
However, the stubborn Derek jerked his hand away. âMy fans have been waiting for me for a long time. How can I let them down? Besides, if I have plans to build my career here, Iâll need to get along well with them.â
Thanks to his fans, Derek became successful. He knew that, so he didnât want to disappoint them.
Unable to change Derekâs mind, Wilder had no choice but to sashay his way through the common exit behind Derek. Walking out of the airport, Derek immediately caused a commotion among the people outside. He took off his sunglasses and waved at his fans who were screaming and raising banners with his name on them. Fans who came to see him blocked the exit. It was hard for Natalie not to notice Derek as she and Brandon walked past the exit because his looks really stood out, and many people surrounded him.
In her mind, Natalie said to herself, âDerek is really popular locally and internationally.â She tore her gaze off him and looked ahead.
It was Sean who came to pick them up. He reached out to take the bags and suitcases from Brandon.
The first thing that Sean noticed was that the two had been holding hands since they came out. It was a bit surprising because they rarely showed affection while in public.
It was not until they got into the car that Sean expressed his amusement. âIt seems that your relationship has improved greatly after your trip to Northcliffe.â
Noticing that Sean was looking at her and Brandonâs hands, Natalie tried to unclasp their hands. The latter knew she was embarrassed, so he let go.
Flustered, Natalie immediately changed the topic. âIâve brought you a gift, Sean. I hope you like it.â
Then she handed a small box to him, which had a bottle of perfume inside. The moment Natalie smelled the scent of this perfume, she thought it would be perfect for Sean. âItâs the first time Iâve received a gift from a girl in my life. Thank you, Mrs. Larson.â Touched by her generosity, tears welled up in Seanâs eyes.
However, Brandon frowned, ruining the moment. âStop pretending, Sean. On your birthday party last year, you complained that the red underpants your mother gave you were too small.â
Pursing his lips, Sean put away the gift.
Suddenly, Natalie snickered and said, âSince you have accepted my gift, Sean, I expect you to help me keep an eye on Brandon from now on. I know Brandon has a lot of secrets that I donât know.â
It was actually just a joke. Natalie didnât feel like Brandon was hiding something.
But when Sean heard her words, his smile froze.
Upon remembering that Brandon asked him to investigate the mysterious pharmacist, he became hesitant.
Natalie didnât expect Sean would suddenly turn serious at her joke. She had the vague sense that something was wrong.
