Chapter 15
Tobias nodded.
"I don't want the check. I want something else," Natalie said.
"Go ahead."
"Do you know which building is the highest in our city?" Natalie asked.
Tobias glanced sideways at her and replied, "Isn't it Brillianty Plaza with 99 floors?"
He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and added, "You're thinking of asking for the Brillianty Plaza? You have a big appetite."
"You promised me to give me everything I wanted, didn't you?" Natalie challenged him.
"It's alright if you want that as compensation."
Natalie burst into laughter. When she smiled, her eyes were bent into crescent moon shapes, "I don't want that building. I want you to jump down from the 99th floor of that building. Your death is enough of a compensation for stealing my purity."
Tobias's face froze.
Then, his face returned to his usual expression. When he gazed at Natalie, there were some complicated emotions brewing in his eyes.
"You're such an interesting girl." Tobias's lips curled into a smile.
He took out a business card and put it in the pocket of Natalie's jacket. "Girl, I will remember you. If you need me in the future, just give me a call. I will remember what I owe you."
"Why do you think I would look for you? Keep your business card to yourself." Natalie wanted to remove the business card in her pocket and throw it away.
Tobias stopped Natalie in her act and advised her, "You shouldn't be too certain about some things. You should always grab every chance you get."
His eyes were focused on Natalie and he was giving her immense pressure. His dark pupils were like huge black holes, threatening to suck people in whenever they locked eyes with him. Natalie's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"Then I won't throw it away for now." After a while, Natalie squeezed out these words as if she had admitted defeat.
Tobias loosened his hand and shot Natalie a glance before marching away.
He was tall and lean, and his long and slender legs strode away with arrogance. Nobleness oozed from his physique. Natalie looked at Tobias's back and was stunned for a while.
"He is really a handsome man," Natalie thought.
Even his back had such imposing aura.
For a moment, she even forgot about the business card in her pocket.
It was not until the sunlight was scorching her that she returned to her senses.
She had work at the coffee farm later.
Maybe because so much had happened in the past two days, Natalie somehow felt that her body was particularly exhausted.
It didn't take long for her to drain all her strength. She had no choice but to apply for leave.
"Natalie, are you okay?" Sebastian looked worried.
He could see that there was something wrong with Natalie, so he also asked for leave and followed her out.
Natalie shook her head.
"Why don't I take you home today?" Sebastian said.
Natalie remembered that she hadn't returned home for the whole day yesterday.
She took out her mobile phone, and the screen was rammed with Madison's missed calls and text messages.
She randomly clicked on a text message.
"Natalie, where the hell have you gone? Why weren't you home last night? Did you climb into the bed of some stranger? If you don't keep your virginity and offer it to the Young Master Lanes, you should prepare yourself to face my wrath."
Natalie deleted the text message with a pale face.
She was her mother, her biological mother.
Despair drowned Natalie at the moment.
She didn't want to go home. She hated the idea of going home. However, if she didn't go home, where could she go?
Besides, except for her mother and her siblings who never saw her as an equal in the family, her father had always treated her well.
It was a pity that her father had to work so far away from home all year round.
"I'm going home now." Natalie sighed.
"Let me send you home." Sebastian stood up as well.
Natalie didn't want to accept his offer, but the last bit of her strength coerced her into accepting at the moment. She was even trembling all over because all her strength had seeped out from her. Sebastian supported Natalie as they walked in the direction of the Godfrey family house.
The Godfrey's house was a stone throw away from the coffee farm. It would only take about ten minutes for them to arrive there.
Just as they were about to head to the Godfrey family, a Mercedes drove past them.
