Brandon returned the smile, walking over to embrace her obediently.
Resting his chin on top of Natalieâs head, he asked softly, âBoss, what do you think? Are you satisfied with my performance today?â Pretending to ponder in order to tease him, Natalie eventually replied, âDespite the eavesdropping, your overall performance isnât bad, Mr. Larson.â
The scent of Natalieâs body making. Brandon feel content. âItâs a good thing I found you a female assistant. If I hired a male assistant to be with you day and night, wouldnât I have found myself a love naval?â Natalie playfully raised her head and asked, âHow did you know I was going to hire a male assistant at a high price? I couldâve hired someone more handsome and taller than you... Ah! What are you doing?â Before she could finish, Brandon lifted her up and pressed her against the sofa.
The roomâs atmosphere became instantly romantic. As Brandonâs warm breath grazed her ear, his low, jealous voice inquired, âYou want to find a male assistant? More handsome and taller than me? Huheâ Natalie kissed his lips and said innocently, âI just need an assistant to help with my work. You wonât mind, will you?â
Brandon lifted her chin, gazing at her lovingly and earnestly. âI do mind! Just hearing that makes me jealous. Iâm the only man The roomâs atmosphere became instantly romantic. As Brandonâs warm breath grazed her ear, his low, jealous voice inquired, âYou want to find a male assistant?
More handsome and taller than me? Huheâ
Natalie kissed his lips and said innocently, âI just need an assistant to help with my work. You wonât mind, will you?â
Brandon lifted her chin, gazing at her lovingly and earnestly. âI do mind! Just hearing that makes me jealous. Iâm the only man you can have in your life.â
With that, he tenderly kissed Natalieâs lips, a moment full of love and affection.
Everything around them seemed to fade away, as if time stood still and only his embrace and breath existed.
After the kiss, Natalie pushed against Brandonâs chest, shyly protesting, âDonât do that. Your bodyguards are still outside the door.â
Brandon brushed against her body and said, âThey canât hear us.â Natalie held his wandering hand, weakly resisting. âNo, you canât. Weâre in the office. Donât do that.â
With a mischievous smile, Brandon raised his eyebrows. âDo you remember our bet? If I lost, Iâd work as your assistant, and if you lost...â
âDonât say it!â Blushing, Natalie glared at him and covered his mouth. âYouâve lost. Donât mention it anymore.â
Brandon removed Natalieâs hand and grinned, âIf you lose, youâll have to design some sexy lingerie for yourself and wait for me in it on the bed. If you donât want me to do anything now, design that lingerie. What do you think?â
Natalie glared at him and huffed, âYouâre a scoundrel!â
Seeing her shy and irritated expression, Brandonâs desire grew. He couldnât help but pinch her waist and shower her with kisses, whispering, âIâm a scoundrel. So what? You canât escape.â Brandon deliberately spoke with a tempting, hoarse voice, causing Natalie to feel weak. Her hands, which had been pushing against his chest, gradually stopped.
âBrandon...â Natalie murmured, clutching his collar.
Just as the atmosphere intensified, the reception room door burst open. Breathless, Lexi exclaimed, âBoss! Are you okay?â
For a moment, the whole world seemed to come to a standstill. The large reception room was so silent that only the breathing of its three occupants could be heard. The air was taut with embarrassment.
Lexi stopped midway through pushing the door open and froze. She didnât expect to stumble upon such a scene behind the door. âAh!â Natalie screamed as she came back to her senses.
She immediately pushed Brandon away, spun around and ducked behind the sofa, hiding her face. She felt so embarrassed! She desperately wished that she could disappear right then and there!
She had never felt that much embarrassment in her entire life!
Brandon, too, was jolted back to his senses. He coughed awkwardly and asked, âWhatâre you doing here, Lexi? I thought I told you that Iâd be the assistant today and that you could have the day off?â Lexi gulped and replied in a trembling voice, âYou did, but Sean. asked me to come here. He...
When he got your call, he thought there was an emergency, so he asked me to come and have a look... I didnât expect...â
She didnât expect that not only would there be no emergency, but also, that sheâd interrupt Brandon and Natalie.
Lexi felt helpless. She cursed Sean bitterly in her heart.
Upon hearing her reason for being there, both Brandon and Natalie rebuked Sean in their hearts as well.
At that same moment, Sean, who was out on a date with Estella at the amusement park, sneezed three times in a row.

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 As he gazed up at the sky, he couldnât help but think about his boss, who had just called him. He thought of himself as an outstanding assistant who hadnât forgotten to get someone to attend to his bossâ issue whilst he was out on a date. He was quite certain that heâd get a promotion and a raise.
After explaining herself, Lexi left as quickly as she could, scared that sheâd be fired if she spent another second there.
Noticing that Natalie was still hiding behind the sofa, Brandon couldnât help but feel helpless. âYou can come out now. Lexiâs gone.â
With her face still buried in her palms, Natalie remained crouched down behind the sofa, refusing to budge.
Brandon was amused, and chuckled, âHow long do you plan on staying down there?â
Natalie responded in a muffled voice, âLeave me alone. Iâm too embarrassed to come out.â
âCome on, donât be like that.â Brandon walked over and lifted her up. âSheâs gone. Everythingâs alright.â
Natalie flung herself into his arms and buried her head in his chest. âI feel so humiliated! How do I even face Lexi tomorrow?â Brandon wasnât too thrilled to have been interrupted by Lexi. Upon hearing Natalieâs worries, he said to her bluntly, âDonât worry about it. If you think itâll be too hard to work with her, you can fire her. Iâll get you a new assistant.â
Natalie quickly took a step back, out of his embrace, and said, âNo way! Lexi only came here because she was worried about us. She did nothing wrong.â
Brandon pinched her nose playfully and said, âThen donât fire her. Itâs your decision. All I want is for you to be happy.â Thinking about what had happened today, Natalie sighed dejectedly. âTodayâs been quite the day.â
