Chapter 278
The Imposter Bride
The attending physician was well aware of Magnusâ status, and naturally, he didnât dare to express any frustration Instead, he nodded firmly and confidently âIndeed, Mrs. Andersen has fully recovered after these few days of rest. She will not suffer any residual effects Only then did Magnus show satisfaction âThatâs good. Is there anything I need to be particularly careful about when we return home? For example, her diet, habits, any special requirements?â
The physician frowned in exasperation âMr. Andersen, Mrs. Andersen is now a perfectly healthy individual and no longer a patient. Thereâs nothing special she needs to be mindful of âVery well, you may go nowâ Magnus said, waving his hand at the doctor âAnd thank you for taking care of my wife these past few daysâ
The doctor was so shocked his jaw dropped. He was probably the first person to ever receive thanks from Magnus in all of Melfort Good heavens! He had to buy a lottery ticket later!
The overwhelmed doctor, forgetting to respond with pleasantries, hurried out of the room Upon hearing that she could be discharged at any time, Natalia felt a surge of euphoria Ha, letâs see how Magnus was going to keep her here now!
Magnus, watching Nataliaâs enthusiastic reaction, smiled warmly âMy dear, it seems you got your wishâ
âOf course Natalia replied, her spirits high âFinally escaping this drab place. Letâs go, letâs go!â
Magnus, full of affection, looked at Natalia. âWhy donât we grab lunch together? I hear thereâs a new sushi place in town Natalia feigned hesitation. âIâll have to think about it.â
âCome on, they say the sashimi is excellent. Will you accompany me, my love? Magnus coaxed, wrapping his arm around Natalia and leading her out of the hospital Soon, they arrived at the busiest part of Melfort, where a new Japanese restaurant recently opened.
As soon as they entered, the staff greeted them with enthusiastic smiles. âWelcome!â
Magnus nodded eagerly, guiding Natalia toward the seafood tanks. It was lunchtime, yet the new sashimi place was not crowded Maybe it was because it was newly opened Natalia tugged at Magnus sleeve whispering. âThis place seems quiet. Maybe the food isnât that great.
Should we try somewhere else?â
Magnus chuckled, leaning in to whisper in Nataliaâs ear, âMy love, the reason itâs quiet is because they only serve gold card customers.â
Natalia looked around at the opulent decor of the restaurant, impressed despite herself. However, that was their business strategy, and she had no place to comment. Natalia laughed at her own thoughts and focused her attention on the various seafood in the tank.
Before them were several large, beautiful with tuna, oysters, sea urchins, lobsters, and other seafood she couldnât name Magnus gently asked Natalia. âWhat would you like to eat?â
Natalia wasnât a big fan of sashimi, especially the raw seafood. After a momentâs thought, she said, âMaybe just some shrimp. Iâd really prefer some soup. Iâm not particularly hungry Magnus nodded in agreement and gestured for a server âWeâll have the salmon sashimi and a shrimp bisque, pleaseâ
After finishing their order, Magnus guided Natalia towards the VIP section.
The striking couple attracted the attention of everyone in the mom. Some even discreetly took out their phones to snap pictures, thinking they had spotted celebrities Natalia was used to this. Whenever she was with Magnus, they were always the center of attention, which could be quite a headache Well people were going to look regardless. There was no point in trying to stop them.
As Natalia sat in the chair Magnus had pulled out for her, she heard a friendly voice say âMr.
Andersen? What a coincidence running into you here!!
Natalia looked up to see a chic, short haired woman standing at their table, smiling at them Magnus was also surprised not expecting to run into a colleague here, âAre you the new assistant that just got promoted?â
The woman didnât seem to mind that Magnus couldnât remember her name. She extended her hand toward Natalia âHello, Iâm Belle, Mr. Andersens assistant. Iâm delighted to meet you Youâre just as radiant as the rumors sayâ
Natalia couldnât afford to be too petty either, even though she couldnât help but find the smile on the girl named Belleâs face a bit annoying it was as if that seeming enthusiastic smile was forced Natalia shook her head inwardly, realizing that she was probably being too sensitive. After all, she didnât even know this girl in front of her, so how could she make assumptions like that?
Natalia reached out and shook Belleâs hand âHello, Iâm Natalia.
Belleâs eyes lit up âYes, Iâve heard a lot about you, Mrs Andersen Magnus didnât have much of an opinion about Belle, other than what his former assistant had told him that Belle was incredibly competent at her job. So, when his previous assistant had to resign for personal reasons, Belle seemed like the obvious choice to be promoted to the executive office In his eyes, Belle was different from the other secretaries in the company Some of them would stutter and slammer in fear when they saw him, while others were overly eager to the point of being uncomfortable. However, Balle had always struck the right balance showing a kind of tare poised leadership This was the main reason why he agreed to promote Belle, who had only been with the company for two months to a much higher position.
âDarling, this is Belle, my current executive assistant Sheâs quite exceptional at her work Magnus casually introduced Belle, not bothering to say anything more, mainly because he didnât know much else about her Natalia couldnât help but admire Belle. She knew that it took a lot to impress someone as demanding as Magnus, and there were very few who could earn such accolades from him.
