Natalie put her phone down as her stomach clenched with unease.

‘Why would a CEO worry so much about the work of an ordinary employee like me?’

They only chatted online. Therefore, Natalie couldn’t conclude that he had an ulterior motive.

She wanted to figure out what Brandon wanted from her.

“What’s up? You’re always on the phone. Who have you been texting all day? You said you don’t have a boyfriend. Then, who is it?” Natalie’s colleague, Gerda, turned around and winked at her.

“Not my boyfriend.” She couldn’t tell who she was texting.

After all, it was the CEO, and people might gossip about it.

Natalie propped her chin on her palm and thought for a while.

“Mr. Larson seems like an excellent man. He must be married, right?” she asked, hoping for her friend to say yes.

“I don’t know. Maybe he has a girlfriend. But who cares? Wealthy people like him will have several girlfriends and mistresses at the same time. We should never probe into their personal lives.” Gerda elbowed Natalie and arched an eyebrow. “By the way, since when did you start gossiping?”

Gerda felt that Natalie was a quiet person who never gossiped about anyone. So she was surprised to see her ask questions about their CEO’s personal life.

Natalie forced a smile and shrugged. However, the worry on her face didn’t fade away.

Seacisco had extreme climatic conditions. It had scorching hot summers and cold winters.

The fruit store near their apartment sold iced watermelon juice. The refreshing scent of the fruit wafted in the air.

Natalie bought two cups of juice and went home.
