A Cue for Love Chapter 90 Breach Of Contract Startled by Samuelâs abrupt compliment, Billy left the CEOâs office and swiftly got back to work.
Samuel gradually rose to his feet and walked toward the window.
Under the golden light of the setting sun, Samuel looked especially elegant and handsome in his pressed white shirt.
He made a phone call to Natalie.
Beepâ¦
The call was connected instantly, and a crisp voice traveled through the phone.
âHello.â
âItâs me, Samuel.â
A moment of silence ensued on the other end of the line as if she was waiting for Samuel to speak first.
âAre you free tonight? I want to meet up with you to discuss Sophia and Franklinâs birthday.â
âIâm busy tonight,â Natalie rejected instantly.
âWhat about tomorrow?â
âIâm fully occupied tomorrow.â
âThe day after tomorrow?â
âBusy as well.â
Samuel was starting to lose his patience with Natalie. Frowning, he queried, âOkay. How about you let me know when you are free, and Iâll rearrange my schedule to fit yours.â
âI donât want to meet you.â As she said so, Natalie was at home, fanning herself with the check with her hand. âIn other words, letâs never meet again. We can discuss Sophia and Franklin via phone call or email.â
Samuelâs expression darkened upon hearing that.
He gripped the phone so hard that the veins on his arms were popping out.
âAre you aware of what youâre saying?â he growled out, his tone clearly irritated.
âYes, I do.â
Natalie casually placed the check on the coffee table and hugged her legs tightly. A trace of cold determination flashed through the depth of her eyes.
Even if she hadnât received the ten million check from Yara, she still thought that it would be best to never see Samuel ever again.
Sure, Sophia and Franklin are his children.
Sure, Yara is able to freely enter and leave the Bowers residence.
Samuel mistaking me for Yara and kissing me was also something that happened.
Who cares if heâs a handsome, aloof CEO? Being a womanizer is probably in his DNA.
Even though she herself was unsure as to why she was wearing a hyper-realistic mask, she was even more confused as to why Samuel would still take the initiative to approach her with the mask on.
She didnât want to get trapped in a whirlpool of feelings, especially not between Yara and Samuel.
âNo, you donât, Natalie.â
Natalie let out a snicker. âWhy would I not know? I donât want to meet with you because I donât feel like it.â
âGive me a reason.â An icy look appeared in Samuelâs gaze.
A reason?
Natalie caught a glimpse at the check on the table, her face lighting up with a gloating expression.
âYara found me and gave me ten million to ensure that I would never see you ever again.â The corners of her lips quirked upward before she continued, âI can spend this ten million lavishly as long as I donât meet with you. I accepted the offer and signed the agreement on the spot so I could receive the ten million check from Yara.â
Natalie had indeed received the money from Yara. However, she wasnât required to help keep Yaraâs secret from Samuel.
Besides, how Samuel would think of Yara after this was none of her business.
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone.
After a long while, Samuelâs deep and husky male voice rang out.
âAm I really only worth a ten million to you, Natalie?â
The question startled Natalie, but she replied firmly, âYes.â
âIâm the head of the Bowers family and the CEO of the Centurion Corporation. Since when have you become so shallow-minded?â Samuel queried.
Upon hearing that, Natalieâs heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, Natalie was utterly relieved that they were not having this conversation face-to-face.
Otherwise, he would have noticed the clear flustered panic in her eyes.
âSamuel, itâs too late now.â Natalie bit her lower lip before continuing, âI have signed the agreement and received the money. I canât breach the contract.â
