Natalia admitted that she wanted to snatch Santiago from Ariana, and she made some small moves in private.
But if Santiago hadn’t agreed, she wouldn’t have been able to make as much progress on her own.
Santiago gasped at Natalia’s words, and was becoming increasingly aware of his own unbearable situation.
He took several deep breaths before speaking.
-Go away and don’t look for me in the future.
-Do you think that’s all? Santiago, I saved your life and you also accepted my approach. Now you want to get rid of me? -Natalia laughed coldly- -You are not still thinking about Ariana, are you? She’s a very noble person and she’s not likely to forgive you.
Santiago’s anger was instantly aroused and he stood up violently, his chair shifting backwards with a loud, harsh sound.
Natalia glared at him defiantly.
Santiago boiled with anger but could not let it out.
Natalia was a woman and his savior, he couldn’t scold her or hit her.
The assistant was so stunned by the conversation between them that she forgot to leave, standing erect in the office with a dumbfounded expression.
Santiago only then realized she was in the room and told her coldly:
-Get out!
This cold voice instantly brought the assistant out of her thoughts, and noticing Santiago’s furious look, she left his office in a hurry.
She had to tell everyone the news, she did not expect that Natalia was really having an affair with Mr. Barrios, and that she had forced Mr. Barrios’ girlfriend to break up. This was big and powerful news.
Santiago then looked at Natalia as if he knew her again and said:
-What kind of remuneration do you want?
-What?
Natalia froze for a moment.
-You saved my life, what kind of reward do you want?
Santiago seemed a little impatient.
-I don’t want any reward, I saved you because I like you, and I want to be with you. Don’t reject me first. Listen to me, you and Ariana cannot be together anyway, so consider me.
Her cheeks were a little flushed, and she looked at Santiago with desire:
-You even wanted to kiss me last night, it’s not like you don’t have feelings for me. We broke up in the first place with regrets, why not move on?
Santiago thought his reasoning was true, but he suddenly felt nauseous.
He hurried to turn away from her and rushed to the bathroom.
Natalia was stunned by this action and followed him unconsciously, only to discover that he was going to the sink.
She stopped at the door and heard the sound of one vomit after another coming from inside, and her face turned blue.
“What does Santiago mean by this, did he dislike my request?”
The sound of water came from inside, and only after a long while Santiago came out with a pale face.
As soon as he came out, he met Natalia’s angry face.
-Santiago, you’re going too far! -Natalia roared accusingly, looking at Santiago with a deadly look, “How can you treat me like this?
Santiago looked at her without expression and was about to speak when, due to their proximity, a seemingly unmistakable smell of dust suddenly came out of his body.
The smell was something strong and very familiar.
Suddenly Santiago reacted to the fact that something was wrong and took a step back, looking at Natalia with a surprised expression.
-What perfume are you wearing?
Natalia froze for a moment, her eyes full of panic.
-Don’t change the subject, I’m not wearing any perfume!
She tried hard to control her emotions so as not to reveal the slightest detail, but because of that stern attitude, she had already made Santiago perceive that she was abnormal.
His mind kept remembering what that familiar smell was and suddenly he asked Natalia:
-Did you wear this perfume last night too?
Santiago felt he could not try to kiss Natalia in front of Ariana’s eyes. Even when he was drunk, he was able to distinguish who was Natalia and who was Ariana.
But last night he did have an impulse, as if after smelling a fragrance and a voice in his head told him to kiss and hug the person next to him.
That fragrance last night was the kind of fragrance Natalia was wearing now, plus the fact that she was in an air-conditioned room and still had some hot reactions.
Santiago understood immediately and asked:
-Does your perfume have other additional effects such as aphrodisiac?
Natalia’s expression was of astonishment, she didn’t expect Santiago to guess it so fast.
The surprise only lasted a second and was quickly disguised, but Santiago had been watching her since he noticed something was wrong, so naturally he noticed.
His expression went cold and his voice was very unkind.
-Natalia, how dare you set me up? You’ve known me for a long time, you should know that I hate people who play tricks on me.
-I don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t think it’s my fault,” Natalia took a few steps back with a very nervous expression. I know you don’t like me, but you can’t accuse me so falsely. I don’t want to talk to you anymore, you make me too sad.
Natalia didn’t even want her bag, she ran away after saying this.
It seemed that she was heartbroken for Santiago, but he understood in his heart that she was running away.
She should be worried that if she stayed any longer it would make him even more sure of the matter.
Santiago let out a self-deprecating laugh.
It was surprising that he would let himself be fooled by such a woman, and he forced Ariana to propose a breakup.
The smile on Santiago’s face fell, as of today, what he owed Natalia was settled, if she dared to pull any petty tricks in the future, he would definitely not let her go.
He walked toward his office expressionlessly. His assistant came in from outside after lunch, and seeing that he was covering his stomach, quickly asked him:
-Mr. Barrios, haven’t you eaten yet? Do you want me to order one for you?
-It’s not necessary! -Santiago refused, but suddenly thought of something and said, “From now on, unless it is official business, Natalia cannot set foot in here.
The assistant froze for a moment and nodded hurriedly, seeing him leave, she began to gossip with her colleague.
-If I had known, why would I have done that in the first place. He had seen what his girlfriend looked like on Mr. Barrios’ cell phone. Her temperament was so good, she looked so much better than Natalia.
Santiago listened to all these words and paused for a moment before entering the office with a firm step.
After receiving all the patients for the afternoon, Santiago hurried out of his office and headed home.
He drove very fast all the way home. Fortunately, it was not rush hour, otherwise, at his speed, he would have easily caused traffic problems.
He was wearing a suit and a shirt, all soaked with sweat, and his forehead was covered with sweat. By the time he reached the door he was panting and slowed down.
He hesitated for a moment before carefully opening the door.
