“Your parents could sign up for a tour that goes to a place near France instead. I’ll contact Allen and ask him to pick your parents up,” Natalie Wheeler suggested.
“You’re really smart. My thoughts were too simple. I’ll do as you say. Please contact my parents for me then.”
“Okay.”
They went to a bar nearby after dinner. The two of them had a lot of wine and they were already starting to get tipsy. Then, they went to karaoke to sing.
Natalie selected a lot of songs, singing and shouting hysterically.
Eli Wayne also drank a lot of wine. She couldn’t hold on any longer and she eventually fell asleep on the sofa.
Natalie asked for a blanket from the waiter and continued to sing after covering Eli with the blanket.
The last song which she had picked was “See You”.
“I am afraid that I have no chance, so I will say see you because maybe I will never see you again. I will leave tomorrow. That familiar place. The familiar you. We are going to be separated, and my tears are dropping.
I will remember your face firmly, and I will cherish the love that you gave me. These days will never be erased from my heart.
I can’t promise you whether I will come back. I will go on without turning back.”
As she sang the sad parts, she drank a big glass of red wine and lay down on the sofa.
She drank a lot, and she was supposed to already be drunk.
However, her mind was very clear, and she didn’t want to sleep. She picked up the phone and found Jasper’s phone number.
Before she could think it through, her hand had already tapped on the call button.
Jasper Milton declined the call.
Natalie smiled bitterly and tears rolled down from her eyes.
She closed her eyes.
Perhaps it would be better if he did not answer it.
Feeling dizzy and sleepy, Natalie suddenly felt sleepy. However, at this moment, her cell phone rang.
When she saw that the caller was Jasper, she answered the call subconsciously.
“What’s the matter?” Jasper asked in a deep voice.
It was very quiet there, and his voice sounded particularly cold.
Natalie was silent.
Jasper sneered, “I told you to not contact me anymore, but it seems that you have forgotten. Stella, what do you want?”
“Sorry, I called the wrong number,” Natalie hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, she moved Jasper’s phone number into the blacklist and deleted it.
She couldn’t call Jasper anymore. She couldn’t.
Feeling sad, she poured herself another glass of red wine and drank it all in a gulp.
In the end, she didn’t know how she fell asleep. She was woken up by the waiter of the karaoke.
Her head was still throbbing. She was worried that Eli would start spouting nonsense, so she took her to the guest room in Gorady Spa House. They were sleeping soundly, and all of a sudden, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Natalie got up and opened the door.
Sean Yaleman was standing at the door with a straight face, glancing at Natalie with his sharp eyes. It was as deep as a lake, but it was hidden with rage as if he knew something.
Natalie was frightened.
“Where is she?” Sean asked coldly.
“She’s still sleeping. We went to sing at the karaoke until late last night,” Natalie explained.
“I’m afraid that the karaoke was not the only place that you went,” Sean looked at Natalie and said.
Natalie smiled slightly and she lowered her eyes. She did not answer Sean’s words.
At this time, she knew that she would only make more mistakes if she said anything more.
Sean walked into the room. Eli was sleeping soundly, and one of her legs was hanging off the bed and her belly was exposed. She put one hand on the back of her head and the other was spread on the bed casually.
Sean went over and tidied her clothes up. He then picked her up.
Eli opened his eyes and saw Sean, “I have a headache. I want to sleep.”
“If you had drunk lesser last night, then you wouldn’t be having a headache. Are you that happy to see your parents?” Sean asked, the dark tide surging.
Eli looked at Natalie, “Did you tell Sean?”
Natalie was speechless.
Eli was too simple-minded. He had managed to lure her out with a single trick.
“Eli misses her parents very much. It’s not too much for her to meet them, right?” Natalie said, helping Eli.
Eli looked at Sean.
“Of course it’s not too much, but it’s not necessary to sneak around. If you want to meet them, I can arrange it,” Sean said in a low voice.
Natalie was worried that Eli would reveal something by mistake, so she interrupted, “She should solve her problems by herself. I’m afraid that this matter would not be solved simply by your arrangement.”
“Oh, are you saying that you can solve the problems that I can’t?” Sean said coldly, “For example, by contacting Allen and letting Eli and her parents leave?”
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat.
Sean already knew their plan clearly.
“I don’t think I have such capabilities. Mr. President, do you think that I could do that?” Natalie asked calmly.
Sean lowered his head and he looked at Eli in his arms, “Don’t do anything that you will regret, okay?”
The person who was standing in front of them now was exuding a terrifying aura, like a beast that had just awakened. It felt as if they would be swallowed by him all of a sudden.
“What’s wrong with you? You’re speaking nonsense so early in the morning. If you’ve been irritated by other things, don’t vent your anger on me, I’m not your punching bag,” Eli struggled to get off his arms.
He hugged her even tighter, “It’s already noon, so it’s no longer morning. Besides, I have never once vented my anger on you after someone else irritates me. I would only be irritated by you and vent my anger on others.”
“It seems that your subordinates are in danger every day then. You are already over thirty years old. You ought to learn to control your temper,” Eli admonished him.
Sean put Eli down and pressed her against the bed. He looked at Natalie and said, “You’d better leave unless you want to watch us.”
Natalie didn’t say anything.
She blushed and looked at Eli.
Eli struggled to get up, but she couldn’t, “Sean, are you going to bully an unarmed woman? How dare you still call yourself a gentleman?”
“Are you an unarmed woman? Don’t you know how powerful your mouth is?!” Sean retorted.
Natalie was silent.
She left the room and closed the door for them.
If this was like any other time, Natalie knew that she won’t be able to see Eli today.
Natalie left the spa house and went to the yacht-selling site near the beach, in which its address was stated on the Internet.
The salesperson walked toward her enthusiastically, “Hello, is there anything I can help you with?”
“I want to buy a yacht that is about 20 meters long for my own living. The facilities must be complete and the equipment inside should be advanced. It’s better if it has autopilot mode as long as the coordinates are set,” Natalie made her requests.
“We have just launched a new yacht, in which all the equipment are imported. It meets all your requirements. It’s twenty-two meters long, eight meters wide and there are three floors,” the salesperson took out the brochure.
He continued to explain, “The basement is a storage room and there a refrigerator and pantry in it. There are two rooms of 20 square meters on the first floor. One is a bedroom and the other is a living room. There is a kitchen that leads to the storage room in the basement. There is a bar table for dining in the kitchen.
On the second floor, there is a guest room and a control center. There is also an open viewing platform and a fishing site on the roof. In addition, if you buy it now, you will get a free lifeboat that could be placed on the side of the yacht. In case of an emergency, you could just press the emergency button and the boat would be deployed within one minute, filling it with air automatically.”
“That sounds really good. How much is it now?” Natalie was very tempted when she saw the picture.
“Miss Wheeler, why are you here?” A man’s voice rang from behind her.
Natalie turned to look at him, but she did not know him.
The man smiled awkwardly and explained, “I am Mr. Milton’s assistant, Elvis Zachary.”
