Ever since Natalia sealed the deal with Orange Horizon and ascended to the position of director, she had been meticulously working around the clock, making the most of every workday
Under her hands–on leadership, the staff in the design department were fueled with infectious enthusiasm, working with zealous diligence every single day
Perhaps it was Natalia’s radiant beauty that had won her such obedience from her subordinates. This filled Magnus, who observed every move of hers through his office’s surveillance system, with immense satisfaction
The sight of her constant bustling about the office was enough to make him feel as if she was right beside him. His wife was indeed not an ordinary woman. She managed to win over the seemingly difficult to handle staff with ease.
He had always known that she was a hidden gem, a radiant diamond Even if she was unable to manage her subordinates, he would never stand idly by Anyone who dared to upset his wife would be dismissed without hesitation!
Witnessing her busy yet fulfilled demeanor daily made Magnus feel torn between letting her work and interrupting her
Magnus chuckled as he picked up the phone on his desk. He ordered through the phone. “Send dessert to each member of the design department as a reward for their hard work. Send the best one to Ms Clarkson Tell her the company’s boss is extremely pleased with her performance”
After hanging up, he looked at the surveillance footage, grinning confidently “You’re not going anywhere, my dear wife!
Magnus had initially drowned his sorrows in alcohol, believing that his wife had completely given up on him. But now, he realized that she was just as reluctant to let him go and was just temporanly overwhelmed by everything
Magnus was determined to win her back, no matter what He didn’t care about anyone, especially Callum Natalia was his, and no one could change that After a busy day, evening came swiftly. Magnus watched Natalia through the surveillance. She was packing up to leave work. He quickly descended into the
elevator
He planned to stage a casual encounter, perhaps to persuade his wife to return home with him. He arrived at Natalia’s floor, smiling
Natalia emerged from the department door, a radiant smile on her face. To his annoyance Callum was right beside her
Tve reserved your favonte restaurant for dinner tonight, Callum said softly with a loving gaze in his eyes. “Let’s watch the latest movie tonight. You mentioned wanting to see it, right? I’ve booked the whole theater so no one can disturb us.”
Natalia didn’t reject Callum’s offer, instead, she merely laughed and called him childish Then, she joined Callum in a different elevator
“Damn it!” Magnus was fuming with jealousy, seeing their intimate smiles. He wondered how far they had progressed in the past five years.
Magnus thought about Callum being by his wife’s side for five years. He wished he could destroy the world!
No matter how far Callum and Natalia had come, Magnus would take his wife back, and make that British guy wish he was dead
Magnus was in a sour mood, to say the least. It seemed his nval was not to be underestimated Callum dared to ask his woman out for dinner and a movie, as if Magnus was no threat
Especially when Natalia, the little minx, not only didn’t decline but also laughed so sweetly
Just thinking of that scene made Magnus heart feel like a cat was scratching it. His heart felt tingly and was hurting, and helpless!
When Magnus saw Natalia get into Callum’s car through the floor–to–ceiling windows of the design department, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, “Just wait, Callum I’ll make you wish you were dead”
Callum, the crafty fellow had whisked Natalia away, so Magnus was left stewing in his anger for the entire evening
Even the next day, as he watched Natalia go to work through the surveillance footage, he was filled with jealousy. If not for the fear that his impulsive actions might scare his wife and backfire, he would ve grabbed her, chained her to him, and never let her go So with anger boiling within him, he dialed his deputy’s number
“I want the design department to finish the designs due for the day after tomorrow as soon as possible Everyone will work overtime tonight. No exceptions/” Callum thought that by sticking to his fiancée every day, he could get a piece of the sweet pie Magnus had weathered many storms, and he wouldn’t lose to Callum!
“Yes, sir, the deputy replied promptly. Under his direction, the entire design department was instructed to work an extra four hours.
As evening fell, Callum, like the previous day, came to Natalia’s office to pick her up
This time, Magnus saw Natalia explain to Callum with a troubled expression, Tm sorry, Cal I might not be able to join you for dinner tonight I have some drafts, to finish, and the production department is waiting for them.”
Natalia felt guilty, knowing that Callum had put aside his responsibilities to spend more time with her But she finally had a job at Orange Honzon, and she wanted to prove her worth
Even though Callum was disappointed, he still smiled at her understandingly it’s okay. Nat if we postpone our plans, we can do them a little you‘
“Tve asked the restaurant to close a bit later tonight. However, we might not make it to the movie tonight. Besides, isn’t good for your health
red to rest after dinner, stayi
too late
“Mmm, but Cal if you have something to do, don’t wait for me I might be late”
Upon hearing Callum say this, Natalia was deeply touched
Callum had always been incredibly kind and considerate towards her, never causing her any discomfort or trouble
The more gently she was treated, the more moved she felt The more moved she was, the more she felt she didn’t deserve Callum’s kindness.
However, upon hearing Natalia say this, Callum just laughed
