A Cue for Love Chapter 199 You Are A Vixen Before Natalieâs feet touched the floor, Christopher grabbed her wrist and pulled her back onto the bed.
âDonât go. Stay and take a rest here tonight,â he demanded.
She could not believe her ears.
When did this lunatic start being so kind to me?
âThereâs no need for that.â A hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes. âI overheard your secret, so I healed you. Iâve told you before that we are even now.â
Christopher is moody and paranoid by nature. Itâs dangerous for me to stay near to such a person.
She knew that she would probably die at his hands before she could take any advantage of his power.
Therefore, the best way to settle the issue on hand was to end it as soon as possible.
âBye.â She sat up again.
Ignoring Christopherâs burning gaze, she left without looking back.
After she walked out of the room, she bumped into a girl dressed in a pink dress.
âAre you the woman that Chris hides at home?â Jacyntha Smith glared at Natalie and yelled, âYouâre so ugly! How dare you seduce him!â
What? I did nothing! Why is this girl treating me as if Iâm a vixen?
Natalie pointed at herself in confusion. âMe? Miss, Iâm not⦠Youâve misunderstood.â
âMisunderstood?â Jacyntha stomped her feet in a fury. âYou think Iâm stupid? Chris let you get in there.
You mustâve used some shady tricks on him!â
âCould you please calm down?â Natalie narrowed her eyes as she tried to explain the situation to her. âI told you-â
Before she could finish her sentence, Christopher walked out of the room behind her and grabbed her shoulder. âJacyntha, this is my girlfriend.â
Before Jacyntha heard those words, she was still hoping that everything was just a misunderstanding.
However, as soon as he said that, her hope was completely shattered.
She yelled in disbelief, âChris, sheâs so ugly! Why do you even like her?â
Upon hearing that, he grabbed Natalieâs chin and observed her face, saying, âHow is she ugly? She looks ten times prettier than you.â
Tears immediately rolled down Jacynthaâs cheeks.
âChris, why are you doing this to me? Iâve liked you since I was young⦠I like you so muchâ¦â
She then glared at Natalie before she wiped her tears and ran away.
Although Natalie did not know the relationship between Jacyntha and Christopher, she could clearly feel how heartbroken the girl was.
Jacynthaâs heart was trampled to pieces by the man she loved.
Natalie lifted her gaze to look at Christopher.
âDo you have to reject a girl who likes you so much? Even if you donât like her, do you need to say that sheâs ugly to mock her?â
Christopher shrugged. âI only see her as a younger sister. Besides, sheâs not as good-looking as you. I did not mock her.â
âForget about it. I canât reason with you.â
She slapped his hand away and left decisively.
Staring at her back, Christopher turned to Nicholas and asked, âDid I do something wrong?â
Nicholas replied to his question with another question. âMr. Collins, do you want to hear the truth?â
Christopher glanced at Nicholas with raised eyebrows. âYes.â
âYouâve hurt Ms. Jacynthaâs feelingsâ¦â Nicholas pondered for a moment before he continued, âMs.
Jacyntha has liked you for so many years. Even if you donât like her, you donât need to say such harsh words.â
âI might have done wrong to Jacyntha.â Christopher clenched his fists and chuckled self-mockingly.
âBut, what about her? I donât want Jacyntha to bully her, yet she scoffed at me just now! How ungrateful!â
Nicholas was stunned.
Am I imagining things? Why do I have a feeling that my aloof boss has become fond of that ugly girl?
