Chapter 591 The people at the table were initially stunned by Natalieâs generous gift and began to refuse. âMrs. Larson, the wine is too expensive, and weâve only just met. Thereâs no need for you to do this.â
Before anyone else could speak, Brandon wr*pped an arm around Natalieâs waist and complained in her ear. âYouâre so nice to this people. I donât think youâve ever bought me such expensive wine before.â
âStop it,â Natalie whispered as she tugged on his sleeve. âOr your employees will think that Iâm stingy with you.â The others were quick to put two and two together. Brandon had always been distant and unapproachable to them, but he was openly intimate with Natalie. It seemed that their relationship wasnât at all affected by the incident a while ago.
âI was going to come up to you and say hello myself, Mrs. Larson. But I was afraid I might disturb you.â The woman sitting next to Vivian wasted no time pandering to Natalie. âIâve seen you in the Fashion Weekly. I honestly thought that most distinguished female designers were hard to please, but it looks like I was mistaken. Youâre so gentle and easygoing, Mrs. Larson. It truly is a breath of fresh air.â n0v3l0z Vivian almost rolled her eyes at that. Just a few minutes ago, this same woman was backstabbing Natalie among her colleagues. She had to admit, however, that Natalie was a lot smarter than she initially thought. She didnât expect the woman to turn the tables so easily. Moreover, Brandon didnât even look angry in the slightest.
Vivian was not pleased, of course. Her grip tightened around her glass. Just then the man on her other side leaned over the table, accidentally knocking her hand in the process. The momentum caused her to throw the contents of her glass onto herself, staining her clothes and drawing everyoneâs attention.
âVivian?â Natalie said, surprised to see the other woman. âAre you here for the new employeesâ dinner party as well?â It appeared that Vivian had been hired in the end. Natalie had a good imp**ssion of her, so she was eager to start a conversation. âIt seems that your interview went well, huh?
Whatâs your current position in the Larson Group?â
Vivian wiped the wine off her clothes and mustered a smile. âHello, Mrs. Larson. I wasnât expecting to see you here again. Iâve beenââ
âArenât you supposed to be getting your purse, honey?â Brandon interrupted unceremoniously. âThe car is waiting outside. We should hurry.â
His arm slid up to Natalieâs shoulder. He was just about to usher her away when the waitress returned with the wine.
âYour wine is here.â
After setting the bottles on the table, she turned to Natalie and said, âI apologize, maâam, but you havenât paid your bill yet. We took the liberty of adding the charges for your coupleâs suite as well. If you no longer need the room, you may proceed to the front desk and cancel the reservation.â
Vivianâs eyes widened at the waitressâs words. She quickly averted her gaze and turned away.
The truth was, Vivian had known this waitress.
That was why when she recognized her at the restaurant, she informed the waitress that she was Derekâs friend and told the waitress that Derek and Natalie wanted to book a coupleâs suite together. She then tipped the waitress heavily for her help in booking it.
Vivian was a little nervous now, trying her best to keep the waitress from seeing her. She kept biting her lower l*p to steady her nerves as she couldnât afford to expose her intentions in front of Brendan and Natalie.
However, Vivian simply couldnât conceal her nervousness. She knew she would be doomed if the waitress recognized her in front of Brandon and Natalie.
Vivian found an empty corner not far away and walked quickly over. She then turned away from the crowd, and lowered her head and pretended to look at her phone. âA coupleâs suite!â echoed an employee from the Larson Group. Although the waitress had spoken softly when she was talking to Brandon and Natalie, many employees had overheard her and began speculating about the reason for them booking the coupleâs suite.
âMr. and Mrs. Larson must be feeling romantic tonight. I guess they just want a wild night out!â
âWas it Mr. Larson who booked the room? But why does he seem angry?â
There was a wave of murmur across the room as everyone started gossiping.
Brandonâs face darkened. They had already denied the suite before, so why did the waitress ask again if they wanted to book a suite? He was furious at the waitress â lack of common sense.
âWell...â the waitress started timidly. âIf you donât want the suite, I can cancel it for you,â she continued as she realized that something was amiss. She turned around and attempted to hurry away, but Brandon stopped her. âWho...â Brendanâs voice trailed off as he was interrupted by Natalie.
âYou donât have to cancel the booking. We are taking the suite,â Natalie said with a bright smile. She then hugged Brandonâs arm and gave him a wink. âWe havenât had our alone time in a long while, have we?â she added.
Natalie knew that Brandon wanted to figure out who booked the room. However, the timing was wrong. He would only be embarrassing himself now if he asked the question. There were just too many employees around and they would figure out that it was neither Brandon nor her who booked the suite. This would only spur more gossip about who had booked the room for them.
The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband Natalie did not want needless rumors to spread in the company.
She still suspected that it was Derek who orch*strated the situation. However, she wanted to wait for things to quieten down before finding out the truth. As such, she planned to ask the waitress another time when Everybody was gone.
âMrs. Larson, you were the one who booked the suite?â asked a female colleague in surprise. She thought that Natalie was a reserved woman and didnât expect her to be so open-minded. Natalie booked a coupleâs suite for herself and Brandon so they could have a romantic night? No wonder Brandon was so obsessed with her.
Natalie pretended to be shy and placed her hand on her cheek as if to hide her blush. âWell, I didnât expect that the waitress would announce it in front of all of you. But itâs true that Iâve thought about spending some quality time with my husband for a long time already. This is so embarrassing.
Please, go on with your dinner. We donât want to disturb your meal.â
With that, she took the key card from and waitress and tugged at Brandonâs arm. However, as he seemed unwilling to move, she gave him a hard sq***ze and said sweetly, âHoney, letâs go.â
Brandon felt a little helpless. He thought it strange when Derek denied booking the suite. He didnât seem to be lying. However, if it werenât Derek, who else would it be? Who would be so mean as to create a misunderstanding bet**en Natalie and him?
Brandon wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, he found it interesting that Natalie would say that she was the one who booked the suite in front of all these people. After all, she was a shy woman.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw Natalie acting so bold in front of so many of his employees. Before he knew it, he was being pulled along by her. Before they left, he nodded to the employees who were still standing around and announced, âPlease, enjoy. We will be taking our leave now.â
The employees all smiled and said their goodbyes.
After Brandon and Natalie were gone, the employee that flattered Natalie sat down and grumbled with envy, âMr. and Mrs. Larson seem so in love.â
With a sigh of relief, Vivian went back to the crowd, pulled out a chair and sat down. Her back was covered in sweat. She was too reckless just then, she thought to herself. She shouldâve paid someone else to do it to avoid any risks.
Luckily, Brandon and Natalie hadnât realized it was her. âThe rumors going around the company are bogus. Someone clearly doesnât like seeing Mr.
and Mrs. Larson happy and made them all up.â The others joined in the discussion at the table, while Vivian sipped her wine to calm herself down.
