Chapter 166 Provoking Him to Feel Satisfied

Natalie didn’t leave Scarlet Villa immediately.

Instead, she went to another room and called Stephen. Soon, the call was answered.

“No need. We’ve got some issues at headquarters recently, and I won’t have time to spend with you if you

“Sounds good.”

Natalie hung up the phone.

A chill ran up her spine.

her.

Upstairs in the study, a man tapped on his phone with his fair fingers.
