Chapter 191 - Working With Susan

''Legends say that we only meet our fated one once in our lives so when we find them, we should make sure we don't miss out on the chance of being with them. I don't know when it started but I just found myself wanting to me next to you. Wanting to be the person you think about all the time. I started to want to be the one who could make you smile. Even though you got hurt, I still believed that I could make you happy again as long as you give me the chance''

''Zeya, I am a man with many flaws but I am always ready to learn and grow above my ego. You are so down to earth and don't treat me like the rest of the world. With you, I see the real me and I like the kind of person I turn into because of you. So… would you like to take the next step of your life with me? Let's grow together and become the best of ourselves. Give me the chance to become the man who can protect you and the person you can trust the most. Let me be your boyfriend, Zeya''

Zeya smiled as she looked at him, ''usually, it is will you be my girlfriend but you are turning it the other way. why are you always controversial?''

''That's because I am Sebastian''

''Alright, I will be your girlfriend''

Sebastian pulled her into a tight hug. ''Thank you, Zeya''

''So, we are not officially together?''

''Mm''

''Then, answer this question. When you made that post, was it about me?''

''Yes, I was talking about you. After kissing you, I realized that it wouldn't be bad kissing you everyday and what better way than to make you my girlfriend?''

''What? Are you crazy?''

''Mm, crazy for you'' Sebastian leaned closer and kissed her.

Natalie walked out of the elevator and saw William at the reception. It was already past closing time. Natalie was leaving this time because she had work accumulated which needed her attention hence she had to work overtime.

''Good evening, CEO'' Natalie said politely and walked away.

''You are pregnant?'' William asked, making Natalie to turn and look at him.

''Yes, I am pregnant. Why do you ask?''

''Natalie, you really look happy. I thought that you and Mikael were just for the moment and with time you will come to your senses but it seems your feelings for him are deep. Seeing that you even got pregnant for him''

''I don't think it is part of my work duties to discuss my private life with you''

''You even forgave him after he messed with Laura and Susan. I didn't know you were such a kind person''

Natalie furrowed her brows and laughed. ''A kind person? That's true, I am indeed a kind person that's why I am still working in the same company where I've been harassed by my boss and still haven't reported him yet. William, I don't care what you think about me but let me make this clear to you. I am not interested in you. I don't think I have ever led you on purposefully so please, can you not always bring up my marriage and try to see all the bad things that exist in my marriage. Also, please, if it is not related to work, I prefer we don't talk to each other. Leave me alone, and don't meddle in my marriage''

''Don't you think you are being rude right now?''

''You were the one who crossed the line with me''

''Natalie…'' Mikael walked to them.

''Mikael…''

''What is going on here?'' Mikael held Natalie's hand.

''Nothing, let's go''

''Mr. Yun, I hope this will be the last time I see you harassing my wife'' Mikael said and walked away with Natalie.

William looked at them and chuckled. His phone rang and he answered it, ''I will be there soon''

….

''William, are you that obsessed with Natalie? She is pregnant, do you have to still be this stubborn in pursuing her?'' Amy asked as they sat in the private room chatting over drinks.

''William, I used to view Natalie in a bad light but she has proven to be an asset to the company. Can you get your act together and not make us lose the best designer we could ever get? AGATHA have started recruiting people in the industry and a lot of our workers are their targets. Don't forget that Sebastian and Mikael have a very good relationship. If you continue to make things difficult for Natalie, she might leave'' Jason added.

''This Susan collaboration isn't the right thing to do at the moment. She already got into a scandal with Mikael a few days ago. Everyone knows she likes Mikael and is on a mission to get him. Susan is shameless when it comes to getting what she wants. Letting her work with Natalie is going to cause the company a huge lose'' Amy spoke again.

They were all trying to convince William and make him cancel the collaboration between the company and Susan which also involved Natalie.

''Natalie is pregnant!'' William broke the news.

''She is pregnant?'' Jason asked.

''Yes, Susan told me this afternoon. It seems that I've really lost her this time. She is pregnant for Mikael''

''She didn't belong to you in the first place. Natalie and you were never meant to be and she made that clear. You were the only one who refused to accept the truth''

''Amy is right. Now that Natalie is pregnant, you should stop the crazy obsession over her. It's becoming creepy''

''That's enough! I already gave up. I gave up after seeing how happy she looked with Mikael Sun. I won't obsessed over Natalie anymore''

''Then, what about the collaboration between Susan and the company?'' Amy asked.

''That can't be cancelled. The project is important for Janice so there is little I can do about it''

''Alright, that's better'' Jason nodded his head.

….

Mikael and Natalie's house.

''Drink this, it's warm water'' Mikael said as he handed over a cut of water to Natalie.

''Thank you'' Natalie drunk the water and yawned, ''I feel sleepy''

''Are you alright? How about you take a break for now?''

''Mikael, I've taken a lot of breaks already. Don't worry I am fine and I will be fine. But there is something I need to tell you. Our company secured a project and I was put in charge of it but I will be working with Susan''

''You will be in charge? Why did they put you in the same project with Susan? Natalie, you don't have to work with her. That woman has other motives''

''I know but this is company matters. I don't have much control over it but I assure you, I am going to be as professional as I can be. Susan won't be able to affect me in any way''

''I am worried about your mental health. A lot of things have happened lately, I'm afraid that you are bottling things up. Natalie, if you don't tell me what's on your mind I wouldn't be able to tell''

''Mikael, don't worry. There is nothing on my mind and my mental state is stable. If something is bothering me, I will surely tell you and not keep it to myself. Let's go to bed, tomorrow I will be passing by the hospital before I go to work''

''Alright''

….

First Hospital.

Private ward.

Natalie entered the ward and saw her mother feeding Mimi while she sat on the bed.

''Good morning, beautiful ladies'' Natalie placed the basket of fruits on the table and went closer to them.

''Elder sister…''

''Relax, don't move'' Natalie warned Mimi, 'how are you feeling?''

''I'm fine. The doctor said we can go home in a few days' time''

''That's good''

''Natalie, how are you feeling? Tell me, are you really pregnant?'' Solace asked as she held Natalie's hands.

''Mm, I am almost a month pregnant Mom''

''Congratulations, elder sister. I am happy for you''

''I am happy for me too'' Natalie said and they laughed.

''Did I come at the wrong time?'' Wales asked after he opened the door and saw them.

''Wales''

''Natalie, congratulations. I saw your message but I was busy''

''No worries''

''Aunt, the apartment is ready. I went there before coming here''

''Thank you, Wales''

''You are welcome. Miss Song, how are you feeling?''

''I'm fine, detective Wales, thank you for asking''

''Natalie, we've ran out of toiletries, get some for us when you are coming in the evening. Mimi also needs some feminine products''

''Alright, I will do that. Right now, I have a meeting with Susan, so I have to go''

''Susan, the woman who was in the scandal with Mikael?'' Mimi asked.

''Mm, there is a project that I have to work on with her''

''But she is your rival?'' Wales said questionably.

''She is not my rival because Mikael doesn't like her. She is just delusional. I have to go. See you in the evening'' Natalie picked her bag and hurried out.

''Mom, will she be okay?'' Mimi asked.

''Don't worry, Natalie is a tough nut to crack''
