Chapter 1056 Keep Your Mouth Shut Bastien looked at Yandel with a piercing gaze. âI know youâre her subordinate, and youâre very loyal to her. But I advise you not to interfere in my affairs with her. Since youâre aware of my real identity, you should understand that youâre in no position to interfere, and you shouldnât interfere.â
Bastien was just telling the truth. Yandel clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. âAre you going to keep hiding your identity from her?â
âIâll tell her when the time is right.â Bastien took another sip of his coffee and warned Yandel coldly, âWhat you have to do now is to keep your mouth shut. Since you know my identity, you should know what itâs like to offend me.â âYou!â
âI wonât hurt her. If I wanted to hurt her, I wouldnât have gone to such great lengths,â said Bastien bluntly. Yandel pursed his lips. He had no choice but to compromise.
When Natalie returned, both Yandel and Bastien looked at each other and fell silent. The room was filled with the fragrance of coffee, as well as an awkward silence. Whatâs going on?
Natalie was a little confused. She could tell that Yandel had put his guard up toward Bastien. Quickly, the dishes were served.
Natalie offered a toast to Bastien with her coffee instead of alcohol. âMr. Nine, itâs a pleasure to see you again in Loang. Since you met me at the entrance of my company, I believe you should know that Iâm the chairwoman of Dream. Iâll definitely repay you in the future for the favor that I owe youâ¦â
Bastien smiled and said, âSure. There should be a lot of opportunities for me to ask you for your help in the future.â Hearing that, Natalie froze for a short moment. However, she thought it was probably just a joke and did not think much.
While eating, Yandel thought, Itâs obvious that he has an ulterior motive for being nice to Boss! It was quite a delightful dinner overall.
After the dinner, Yandel sent Natalie and Bastien home.
Bastien gave Yandel a fake address. Knowing that it was a fake address, Yandel dropped him off at the destination without saying anything, then sent Natalie home.
In the car, Natalie could not hold back her curiosity anymore. She asked, âYandel, do you know Mr.
Nine? Who exactly is he?â
Yandel gulped and turned to glance at Natalie. âBoss, I just feel that Iâve seen him somewhere, but Iâm not sure about his identity. Iâm just afraid that heâs a bad guy since he didnât even tell you his real name.â
âI know that you care about me very much, but donât worry. Iâll be careful, and I know how to protect myself,â Natalie said.
Yandel nodded. âSure, I trust you.â
It was ten oâclock when Natalie arrived home.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw a small figure curled up on the couch.
Emma walked up to Natalie and said softly, âMs. Nichols, I asked Ms. Yumi to sleep early, but she insisted that she would not sleep until you come homeâ¦â
âOkay, I got it. Thanks for taking care of her. Go rest now.â Natalie smiled.
âGoodnight, Ms. Nichols.â
After Emma walked away, Natalie moved toward the couch, squatted down, and gently pushed the little girl who was sleeping on the couch.
âYumi, have you been waiting for me?â
The little girl on the couch rubbed her big eyes and smiled innocently as soon as she saw Natalie. âYes, Mommy. Iâve been waiting for you. But I think I fell asleep just nowâ¦â
Yumi scratched her head shyly as she said that.
