Chapter 1017 Kiss Lasted Too Short
Anna stared at Natalie, who was smiling mischievously and was impressed by her strategy.
“It’s not hard at all.” Anna smiled. “I’ll wait for you to send me the information about Helma, then I can start focusing on the design.”
“Okay.” Natalie stretched her hand out. “I hope we’ll have a great time working together!”
“Of course!” Anna tightly grabbed her friend’s hand as lots of emotions were reflected in her eyes. “Also, thank you!”
“There’s no need for us to be so courteous with each other from now on, okay?”
“Okay,” Anna agreed. I swear, Natalie is my savior and the source of my good fortune! I feel like as long as I follow her, everything will go smoothly. My life and career are just getting better and better instead of returning to how it was in the past. There’s no way I’ll let Natalie get rid of me. I’m following her for the rest of my life!
After the discussion about the collaboration was over, Natalie spent the next few days at her company and at home. When she was at the company, she would work really hard. Once she returned home, she would research the books her granddad left for her to find any clues that might help remove Samuel’s poison.
A couple more days passed, and it was time to head to the Leitz residence to measure Helma’s sizes and discuss the preparation.
It was a stormy day when Natalie drove to the Leitz residence.
Just as she was about to approach her car with an umbrella, a big, black umbrella appeared above her.
“Hmm?” She raised her head and saw Samuel’s dark eyes.
“The rain’s getting too big. I’ll drive you to your destination.” His bony fingers held the umbrella as he whispered, “I’m worried about you going alone.”
“I can handle it myself.”
“Sure, but I can accompany you, too.” He narrowed his eyes and pulled her into his embrace. “Don’t push yourself too hard. You’ve been working tirelessly lately. You should at least take a nap on the ride.”
She hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest, smiling. “Thank you, Hubby.”
He lowered his head and smiled at her, too. “It’s my pleasure.”
Like a knight, he escorted her into the passenger’s seat while holding the large umbrella.
After she went in, he walked over to the driver’s seat. As he closed the umbrella, rainwater unavoidably splashed onto his body, but he didn’t mind.
Natalie was indeed very tired, so she closed her eyes and rested on the passenger seat.
The edge of Samuel’s lips curved upward as he adjusted the air conditioner to an appropriate temperature before driving her to the Leitz residence.
The sound of rain hitting the car window made for relaxing white noise.
The whole journey took around half an hour. Natalie woke up when the car stopped in front of the Leitz residence. She noticed the storm had gotten much smaller, and she felt a lot better after taking a nap.
“I’ll wait here until you’re done,” Samuel informed in a deep voice.
“All right. I’ll finish it up as soon as I can.” She unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to exit the vehicle when she remembered something.
Before getting off the car, she landed a quick kiss on his lips.
That little brat… Isn’t the kiss a bit too brief?
With that thought in mind, Samuel touched his lips. There was nothing but affection and love in his narrow eyes.
When Natalie arrived at the entrance of the Leitz residence, a butler in a uniform greeted her, “Are you Ms. Nichols?”
“I am.”
“Ms. Helma has been waiting for you in the living room. Please follow me.” The butler led her into the luxurious residence of the Leitz family.
Natalie had seen plenty of mansions before, yet she was still blown away by how dazzling the interior of the Leitz residence was. The oil painting on the ceiling alone was enough to overwhelm her. The burgundy wool carpet on the floor gave her a sense of solemnity.
Upon arriving at the living room, the butler knocked on the door and informed, “Ms. Nichols has arrived, Ms. Helma.”
“Let her in.” A gentle, feminine voice was heard coming from inside the room.
