No one else would come in as this was Hardy’s personal elevator. He pretended to refuse a few times before eventually giving up and letting Natasya strip him naked.
…
Paisley was busy chatting with Raelyn and Talitha with a smile on her face in the private room. She observed both her brother and Natasya leaving the room and was well aware of what would happen tonight.
She needed to make sure everything was being carried out according to plan. She went all out to ensure the other members of the Anderson family would not be curious about Natasya and Hardy’s sudden disappearance.
Paisley decided to talk about her family and things that her parents adore. Talitha was a little worried and asked, “Paisley, will your parents be satisfied with me?”
“Of course! They would adore you so much as you are a gorgeous and considerate person.” Paisley decided to deceive her further and continued, “They are so keen on having a grandchild. Hence, you should not be worried at all as you are currently pregnant with my brother.”
“I wonder when we are able to see your parents,” Raelyn chimed in.
“Be rest assured as it shall be real soon. My brother is deeply in love with Talitha and he has told my parents about his dating life. I guess my parents will come and pay us a visit within the next few days to discuss things out.”
Both Raelyn and Talitha were increasingly excited and they soon brought up the wedding topic. Paisley was so good at pretending and continued to fool the both of them around.
The pair was feeling upbeat and did not think much about Natasya’s sudden disappearance. They were actually glad that she was not there as she was currently feeling moody. It would be best for her to avoid these conversations in hopes to protect her fragile feelings.
Talitha was instead curious about Hardy’s whereabouts and asked, “Why isn’t Hardy back yet?”
“He might have some official matters to deal with. My brother usually could not enjoy a meal without any interruption. The workload is huge in the company and every issue would require his approval in advance. Talitha, just to give you a heads up. He has no choice but to return home late due to work matters and you have to mentally prepare yourself for that.”
Talitha had dreamed of marrying into the Anthony family but was initially concerned that Hardy would not accept her as his wife. She could finally do everything that she wanted if she eventually marries him. It was not a difficult task and she replied with a smile, “It’s fine. I am willing to wait for him every day!”
Hardy’s personal elevator soon became a hot and messy battle. Natasya had eventually regained her consciousness after the explicit act with Hardy. She was stunned upon realizing the situation and asked, “What… what’s going on?”
He wore back his clothing and calmly replied, “I offered to give you a ride to the hospital as you were not feeling well just now. However, you suddenly hugged me… I could not free myself and we eventually…”
“You son of a bitch! How dare you!” Natasya was pissed off and slapped him.
Hardy reached out and held her hand, “I’m telling you the truth. Why are you upset with me? We can always check out the surveillance camera if you are not convinced by it. Let’s go!”
Natasya was not a foolish person and she also had no interest in Hardy. She swiftly asked, “What did you do to me? How could you be so ruthless?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Why should I mess around with you?” Hardy refused and continued, “I’m about to marry Talitha real soon and I would be out of my mind if I did something fishy to you. We can always check the surveillance camera to prove my point. You hugged me first and I tried to break free from you. However, I did not succeed as you were behaving so wildly.”
“Rubbish! How can a man like you struggle to break free from me? You are clearly lying!”
“I am capable of it, but you reached out and touched… I am nevertheless a man. How can I resist when you are such a beautiful woman?” Hardy retorted.
“You’re such a jerk! You bastard, how could you do this to me?” Natasya was furious as she had always fixed her eyes on William. She did not even consider Hardy and was even being caught doing such a humiliating act with him in the elevator.
Hardy frowned and said, “Stop pointing fingers at me when you are the one who started it first. We can always go through the security footage to see what had exactly happened. Natasya, stop playing innocent, and don’t you think that I’m aware of your actual behavior? Why would I plot against you when you were caught in a scandal doing things with a beggar not long ago? What benefit could I obtain from it?”
Natasya was out of words while Hardy was putting his clothing on and eventually walked out of the elevator. She was slightly convinced that Hardy had no incentive to mess with her.
She composed herself and also got off the elevator after getting dressed. Hardy was standing at the door and observed that she had a stern look on her face. He then proposed, “I suggest having a look at the surveillance footage right now. Let’s go!”
Natasya was feeling embarrassed but was also curious to know what had exactly happened. She then followed Hardy along to the surveillance room. The staff immediately left upon their arrival to give them some privacy. She then turned on the relevant footage of the corridor as a starting point.
It was apparent that Hardy was smoking in the corridor while she stumbled out from the washroom. She was seen to be rather uncomfortable before Hardy went up and asked a few questions to her. He then supported her while she leaned against him and they both headed to the elevator.
The situation in the elevator was as clear as day. She hugged and kissed Hardy first while he struggled to break free from her. She then madly stripped his clothes away and the explicit act had eventually happened.
Natasya blushed and Hardy rested his hands on his knees while looking at her calmly. “Do you still think that I am the guilty one? I shall bring this surveillance video to Talitha and your mom right now. I am not intending to stain my reputation in the future.”
Hardy began to make a copy of the footage. Natasya’s face was as pale as a ghost and she raised her voice, “You absolutely cannot do this! What if people look down on me because of this incident?”
“Can your reputation be any worse?” Hardy continued, “I am now suspecting that you intended to mess with me. You must have done this many times before judging how professional you were at the elevator. You have seduced many men before, right? Haha”
“Stop spurting nonsense!”
“What? Didn’t you claim to be very into all kinds of thrilling activities? Am I your new target right now?” Hardy continued to ask.
“You bastard! How dare you humiliate me like this? You have crossed the line!” Natasya was cornered and she cried as she could not defend herself further. Hardy was still very calm and replied, “Well, I must tell both your sister and your mother about what had happened today. Otherwise, it would be hell for me if you choose to point fingers at me in the future.”
“No! You must not tell them about this!” Natasya desperately did not want her family members to know what had happened between her and Hardy.
“Why? You ought to give me a solid reason, right?”
