Given the current tricky situation with Brandon, Natalie couldn’t just go back to work. She needed to stay in Seacisco until she figured out what was going on with him, so she decided to stay in the same hotel as her parents. Johanna and Beal stood by her side. Early the following morning, Garrett arrived with breakfast.
“Judging from how upset you sounded last night, I assume you’re probably not in the mood for breakfast, so I got you some good stuff. Come on. I brought sausages, bacon, toast, donuts, sandwiches, and coffee. There must be something you’d want to eat.”
In fact, he had long felt that something was wrong with Brandon. After receiving Natalie’s call last night, now more than ever, he was certain that something was amiss. Besides Garrett, Tiffany also came. She was a workaholic, but she actually took that day off to check on Natalie.
“No wonder you were so pale when we met yesterday. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Aren’t we supposed to be friends?”
Two important figures closely related to the Larson Group and its CEO were present. However, Natalie still had no idea what to do next.
“I don’t want to keep you away from work, but I couldn’t do this on my own. Brandon’s cold and unapproachable now. He’s completely devoted to his work and the company! I can’t even see him, let alone talk to him properly.”
Tiffany rested her chin on her hand and mused, “Mr. Larson has indeed been very busy since he came back. It’s really hard to find an opportunity to sit down with him.”
A thought suddenly occurred to Garrett. He warned Natalie, “Don’t hover around Brandon. He hates that kind of thing the most. When we were still in school, many girls chased after him like this, and it really pissed him off!”
Natalie was at the end of her rope. Exhausted and at wit’s end, she lay in bed with a heavy sigh. She had to come up with a way to get close to Brandon. Since it was useless to try to talk to him, perhaps she should adopt a more direct approach.
Suddenly, Natalie got up from the bed. There was fierce determination in her eyes, and she seemed ready to fight again.
“I’m going to see Brandon.”
Brandon saw the woman standing outside his office. There was an unyielding look in her bright eyes. This upset him a little. He didn’t expect that Natalie would come to him again.
“Miss White, what are you doing here? I thought I made myself clear,” Brandon looked at Natalie coldly.
“We still need to talk, Brandon. Has there been any misunderstanding between us?” Natalie tried to speak in a soft, gentle voice. But as she looked into the pair of cold eyes in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel torn-up inside.
Brandon became more annoyed. Natalie would become detrimental to his work if she continued to pester him like this. Indeed, Charis had told him before that Natalie was a clingy woman. At first, he didn’t take her seriously. But now he realized that what Charis said was right.
“Miss White, there’s nothing I have to say to you. Don’t waste my time. If you come back here and make trouble out of nothing one more time, don’t blame me for being rude,” Brandon’s expression darkened.
This time, he didn’t even invite Natalie to talk in his office. Just then, Charis heard the commotion and came out of his office. She asked with a gentle smile, “What happened? Why are you so worked up?”
Lately, she had been playing the role of Brandon’s competent assistant who devoted herself to work. She was not in a hurry to develop a deeper relationship with Brandon. The most important thing right now was to make sure he trusted her.
Seeing the unfriendly look on Brandon’s face, Charis realized what was going on. She turned to look at Natalie and smiled apologetically, “Miss White, please forgive Mr. Larson. He’s very busy and doesn’t even have time to sleep—hence the bad temper.”
Natalie’s face turned purple from anger. Of course, she could tell that Charis was only stirring up trouble. Compared to Charis, who seemed to be considerate, Natalie looked like an unreasonable shrew who kept pestering Brandon. The winner was obvious.
Without saying anything more, Brandon turned around to leave. Charis looked at Natalie with a smug smile. Then she also turned around and followed Brandon. Just then, Natalie’s cold voice sounded from behind them.

“Brandon, I need to talk to you for the last time. If you don’t agree, then let’s get a divorce. Anyway, a marriage without trust is meaningless.”
The last shred of hope in Natalie’s heart disappeared.
Charis kept making things difficult for her.
Natalie knew that it would be impossible to curry Brandon’s favor by playing the role of an affectionate wife. So, Natalie was going to deal with this matter in the way that Brandon liked most: in a businesslike, professional manner.
Her firm words seemed to finally get to Brandon. His tall, burly figure suddenly stiffened.
Currently, the Larson Group is growing stronger and stronger.
Divorce would be an unwise move at this time.
If the divorce goes through, Natalie would receive a significant portion of his assets as alimony.
Brandon turned around and looked at Natalie in undisguised surprise.
There was finally a trace of emotion in his usually cold eyes. He had never considered divorcing Natalie.
And according to Charis, Natalie was completely obsessed with him.
