A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

Am I…” Natalie probed unsurely, “this important to you?”

“Yes.” Samuel caressed her face tenderly. “In fact, many people out there are aware that you are my

weak spot, and I foresee more people will know about it in the future,” he explained. “Those people who

can’t compete with me on ground level will turn to you. This means you might be in danger because of

me,” he added.

It would be good for Samuel if he did not have someone he loved dearly, but now that Natalie had taken

a significant part in his heart, she would be his Achilles heel.

Samuel’s enemies would readily turn to her and do harm to her just to get back at him.

“Are you afraid?” he asked.

Natalie shook her head before circling her arms around his waist. “There’s no point in letting fear get to

me. Besides, I doubt you would let me go even if I said I was.”

“That’s true indeed.”

Samuel nodded lightly and pulled her against him tightly as if he wanted to become one with her.

“It’s my birthday next month,” he reminded her.

“What do you want for your birthday?”

Natalie felt excited. She told herself that she had to give him a birthday surprise that he would remember

for the rest of his life.“I want you for my birthday.” He inhaled deeply, enjoying her scent. “I don’t need or

want anything else.” “You want a person for your birthday?” “Exactly,” he reiterated. “How can someone

sound so confident when saying something so absurd?” “Well, I’m simply asking for a birthday present.

It’s only natural that I’m going to sound determined.” He chuckled. “By the way, I’m always confident.” He

looked at her and felt a yearning for her again. He tilted her chin and kissed her passionately without

leaving any corner of her mouth untouched. She tasted so sweet and soft that the more he kissed her,

the more he wanted her. When they finally broke apart, the two panted heavily, gasping for air. Natalie

stood up quickly and went on to have breakfast to run away from him. After having breakfast, the two

went their separate ways. Samuel went on to Centurion Corporation while Natalie headed over to

Dream.

In the past, Natalie would only go to the company once or twice a month, but now that the company had

to expand its business, and that it was in a full-fledged competition with Dexmed Pharmaceutical, she

dived right into work and even stayed at her office for days. Over in the office, Natalie sat on the padded

armchair while Yandel made himself comfortable on a plastic chair. The six-foot-tall man sat at one

corner of the office table as he worked away. Natalie felt bad looking at him. “Yandel, why don’t we

change seats?” “It’s fine,” Yandel said, rubbing his butt. “You can have that chair, Boss. I prefer the

plastic one. It’s better for my posture.” Natalie looked at him, wondering if she should insist. “All right,

then.” She was well aware that there was no way a plastic chair would be more comfortable than a sofa

chair. Her heart warmed knowing that Yandel was showing her a gesture of kindness. Seeing Yandel

working with Natalie in the same office, Ross eventually came over to work with them at the same table

as well.

Natalie glanced left and right at the two men. She felt grateful for them for showing her moral support.

Their unwavering loyalty gave her more motivation to work hard in order to lead the team and the

company to greater heights. Regardless, lethargy kicked in after the three worked for some time. Natalie

stood up to have a stretch and went out of the office. Her appearance made many other female

employees jealous because she got to work with Yandel and Ross in close proximity. They actually had

no idea who Natalie really was. In fact, Yandel, his secretary, and Ross were the only ones who knew

about it. When Jasmine saw Natalie, she clenched her fists in anger and jealousy. Jasmine Olson was a

young lady in her 20s. She graduated from Dellmoor University with a double Master’s degree in finance

and computer science. Not only was she highly educated, but she was also attractive and elegant. She

had worked for the CEO for about half a year and had since grown fond of Yandel. However, the latter

did not seem to take notice of her sentiment. He would not even look at her except for when they were

talking about work. At first, she wondered why Yandel was so cold to her, but after observing him for

some time, she realized that this was how he treated other people as well, so she thought she still had a

chance. But everything changed when Natalie came into the equation. She would stay in the office with

Yandel for more than ten hours, and everyone who went into the CEO’s office to report on their work all

came back saying that the CEO seemed to be very attentive to this woman. In fact, it was as if

everything he did revolve around her. Jasmine fumed with rage thinking about what Yandel and Natalie

would do behind closed doors. The thought of them being lovey-dovey toward each other made her go

crazy. Now that there were only Natalie and her in the corridor, Jasmine went over to confront her. “What

are you doing with Mr. Moss every time you’re in his office? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to

stay inside for that long? Do you even know what people are talking about you guys? I don’t care about

your image at all, but you need to think of Mr. Moss and the company at least.”
