NovelEnglishChapter 215 Natalia looked up, her stomach churning with disgust.
Victor stood before her with a smirk that wasn't quite a smile, "Long tno see, Natalia." Without a word, Natalia tried to walk past him.
But Victor blocked her way again.
"Am I really that terrible, Natalia? You won't even sparea glance?" he quipped.
Natalia let out a derisive laugh, "Mr. Henkel, you're quite self-aware, I'll give you that." Victor's face still held that infuriating smile.
He huffed, "Yet, I find myself particularly drawn to you. What to do?" Natalia sidestepped him, holding back her revulsion, "Then, Mr. Henkel, you're as despicable as ever!" Victor seemed unfazed by her harsh words.
To him, a woman with spirit was all the more thrilling.

The slap drew the attention of everyone around.
"If you lay a finger on me, I'm calling the police!" Natalia warned.
Victor, red with fury, sneered, "Don't worry, Natalia. I wouldn't dream of doing anything here." Touching his stinging cheek, he added, "But remember, this is the second tyou've hit me. I'll make you pay for this!" With a menacing threat, Victor left.
Natalia watched his retreating figure, still feeling nauseous.
She knew if not for the crowd, Victor might have acted on his threat.
A janitor, noticing her discomfort, quickly approached, "Miss, are you alright?" Natalia nodded after a moment of silence.
"I'm fine, thank you." The janitor advised, "That man doesn't seem like good news. Stay away from him." Grateful, Natalia nodded, "I will. Thank you." With that, she entered the elevator.
Back in Tatiana's hospital room, Natalia's face relaxed slightly.
Though she knew Victor hesitated because of Hamilton, unease still gnawed at her.
She hesitated before calling Tess.
"Tess, I need a new driver, someone with good reflexes." Though Tess wondered why a driver needed such skills, she agreed.
