Chapter 34 Wait For Him For Dinner
Her body was tense, as if she was waiting for an execution.
However, the man didn't do anything more.
He changed into his pajamas and also laid down next to her. Then he just wrapped his arms around
her body from behind and locked her in his arms.
Her back stiffened.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of pinewood, and the pillow was also emanating the cool scent
belonging to this man.
In addition to the heat coming from behind, she just felt she was enveloped by his smell, and she was
like a captured bird, being tightly squeezed in his hand.
The good news was that Archie was a man of his word after all.
Although his hug made her a little uncomfortable, he did not do anything more than that.
And she was also tired. At first, she could still manage to keep herself awake. But then, hearing the
steady breath of the man, her eyelids got heavy as well. Before long, she also fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the sun was already setting.
Natalia did not expect to sleep for so long and she woke up with a start. She took a look at the phone,
and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
She rubbed her face, waking up from the hazy sleep.
Looking at where the man had slept, it was empty already. Archie had long disappeared.
When she went downstairs, she learned that there was a temporary emergency in the company, and
he was called to the company.
She asked Mrs. Dottie, "When did he leave?"
Mrs. Dottie replied with a smile, "Mr. McCarthy left at eleven in the morning. He said that you were
tired, ma'am, and asked us not to disturb you, so that you can rest more."
Natalia faintly lowered her eyes.
He left at eleven in the morning, then he definitely did not sleep long.
She felt somewhat guilty. Since it was because of her that he had been up all night long and he did not
even have the time to rest today.
"Ma'am, you are hungry, right? Should we start dinner now or should we wait for Mr. McCarthy?"
"I will wait for him!"
Natalia said and walked upstairs.
Halfway up the stairs, she rubbed her stomach and added, "If there's any food, send some up for me
first. I can have some bites while waiting."
Mrs. Dottie replied smilingly, "Yes, Ma'am."
Mrs. Dottie brought her a bowl of fresh chicken soup and a stack of crispy cakes.
Natalia sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating happily while searching for the latest news about the
Dawsons online.
The Dawson family in Julio could be counted as a big family by any measures, and Jessica had been
quite popular herself. After all the noises last night, there would definitely be lost of reporters who would
want to follow up such a juicy story.
Therefore, the moment she opened her social account, she immediately found the latest news they had
published.
As she expected, the Dawsons had been bailed out.
After all, Clara was not really involved in the operation.
Although there were still a lot of people cursing them online, but the police could not find any evidence.
Therefore they could not just keep them detained, they had to release them.
But Dennis was not so lucky.
With the clues provided by Natalia, the police found the glass into which Dennis had put the drug, and
with the waiter's testimony, it was confirmed that Dennis had put the drug in all by himself.
Now that the evidence of the crime was there, Dennis would then face criminal prosecution.
Natalia faintly curled her lips.
She was not surprised that the Dawsons would be bailed out.
That cunning fox would never leave behind any trace of her crimes.
Even if there was the video taken by Archie, that video, at most, could only cause some public opinion
against her, and could not be used as evidence against her.
That was because she could always say that she was threatened by someone and had no choice but
to say what she had said in the video.
And in fact Archie did use extraordinary means to threaten her.
Thinking of this, Natalia rubbed her chin.
She knew that the reason why Archie had to record and release such a video was only because a lot of
people had seen her and Dennis getting involved last night.
Although he appeared later and saved her, most people still did not know anything about her
relationship with Dennis.
The incident five years ago had blemished Natalia's reputation in the city of Julio.
If there was such an incident, then her reputation would be completely ruined!
She would not only be considered a theft, but also a filthy woman who had cheated on her own
boyfriend.
At that time, she would by no means be able to explain everything.
She just could not change what people might think of her.
And Archie apparently had already knew Clara's tricks.
So they forced her to confess the nasty things she did, and then recorded it to expose her conspiracy!
As it turned out, the result was quite good.
Now the people online were almost all in favor of Natalia, although there were still a handful of airheads
who had felt that the Dawson were right.
But they were just a drop in the ocean, and could be ignored altogether!
And in the stock market, the prices of the companies of the Dawson family had just plummeted for what
happened last night!
Some of these companies, which had been doing great all the time in the past decades, should not
have been influenced by the scandal of the family.
But to her surprise, their prices almost went half overnight.
Watching the red color on the screen, Natalia thought for a moment and understood the reason.
She slightly hooked her lips, produced her phone and made a call.
At the same time, at McCarthy Properties.
Archie was in a meeting.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, and all the senior managers of the branch were
present, all staring nervously at the man sitting at the head of the table.
Suddenly, someone's phone vibrated and buzzed a few times.
Everyone instantly changed their faces and exchanged glances, and they all showed a bewildered
expression.
Before long, the president sitting at the head of the table suddenly took out his cell phone from his
pocket, took a look at the screen, and then his tense face immediately became soft just like the snow
was smelt by the spring breeze. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he announced that the
meeting was suspended. After that, he got up and walked out.
Everyone was stunned at once.
They all knew how much their boss had hated to be disturbed during a meeting.
Not mind a phone call, even a message would be just enough to make him barge out of anger.
But why was he so different today?
Their boss not only answered the phone, but also announced a pause in the meeting at its most crucial
point?
Everyone instantly turned curious eyes to Brian.
Brian sat on the side seat, saw their eyes and cleared his throat.
"Uh ... here's the thing. Recently there is a very big business, well, the president is talking about the
business right now!"
At that, everyone seemed to finally understand something.
As the assistant of the president, tens of billions of dollars were not a big number to Brian and now that
he called it a big business, then it would just be very big indeed. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
No wonder their boss was willing to give up his principle during the meeting for a phone call!
How wise!
The senior managers silently raised a surge of admiration for their boss in their hearts.
In the meanwhile, their boss, who was talking about a "big business", stopped in the corridor and
picked up the phone.
"You're awake?"
Natalia was a little embarrassed, "Well, didn't you say you would wake me up? Why did you let me
sleep until now?"
Archie smiled lightly, his gaze gentle, "Sorry, I got busy for a while and forgot."
Natalia paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "What time are you coming back?"
"Hmm?"
"I ... I'm wait for you for the dinner!"
She sounded awkward, like she was not used to this way of speaking, but still could not hide the
concern in that tone.
It's time to eat and rest after a day's hard work!
