Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 222
Malcolm snapped out of it and quickly explained, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."Natasha brushed aside her hair, which was being blown about by the wind.She then waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I know you didn't do it on purpose. You were just trying to help me pick up things and accidentally bumped into me." She knew it was an accident.Hearing Natasha's prompt response, Malcolm looked up at her. His emotions were inscrutable. After a moment, he nodded with a hum.Natasha adjusted her bag and then took out her phone to look for Ryan's number. "Here, take down the number."To avoid getting involved with Malcolm unnecessarily, she directly opened Ryan's number instead of sending him the number via her own WhatsApp.Ever since Jacob wasn't around, she had adopted a solitary attitude in interpersonal relationships. The less interactions, the better.Seeing the contact number, Malcolm also understood Natasha's stance. He knew she didn't want to private message him on WhatsApp, and

"Hmm?" Natasha couldn't help but prompt Malcolm to speak when she saw him hesitating."Well… How should I put it…" Malcolm thought carefully but couldn't find the right words to explain."It's just a gut feeling men have. You wouldn't get it," he finally said after a pause.Natasha raised an eyebrow. "A gut feeling?"Malcolm nodded. "What? You don't believe me? Women have intuition, and so do men."If you don't get what I mean, you can compare it with the intuition between you women. For example, when you first meet a woman, don't you just know whether she likes you or not? Wouldn't you feel her hostility?"Natasha chuckled. "Hmm… I can indeed feel that.""Exactly. It's just like that. Men are no different." Malcolm chuckled as well."Then I'll let Ryan know later," Natasha said.Though she didn't think Ryan would dislike Malcolm, she followed through with Malcolm's suggestion. There must be some misunderstanding between them.Malcolm's smile diminished as he regained his com

"Thanks. Let's get in the car," Natalie said as she happily grabbed the phone.She couldn't wait to confront Natasha with all the evidence in hand. She vowed to make Natasha pay twice over for slapping her.They got in the car, and Natalie took the back seat. As they drove away, she opened the album on her phone to play the most recent video.Her excitement faded when she realized that the man in the video wasn't Zack at all.She squinted her eyes and zoomed in, only to find that the man did not look anything like Zack. The man in the video looked dapper and had none of Zack's carefree appearance.Suspicions grew in Natalie. She thought Natasha might be involved with more than one guy at a time.Natalie sent Terry a screenshot of it and texted, "Help me find out who this is, ASAP."Terry had helped her several times in the past instead of helping Natasha. Natalie thought that Terry might be someone that she could use.Terry was sitting in the middle of the chaos at the office w

The president's private elevator quickly reached the building's top floor. When the luxurious doors opened, Natalie stepped out of the elevator with Terry closely behind her.A heavy atmosphere filled the air."Where is everyone? Where have they gone? Isn't today a workday?" Natalie asked as she walked down the corridor without seeing a soul.Terry avoided her gaze. "Yeah, it's a workday. Everybody's at their desks. ""At their desks? Why didn't I see any of them?" Natalie frowned as she scanned the office and noticed everyone slumped over their desks. They looked tired and dispirited from the dark circles on their faces."What's going on?" asked Natalie, blinking. "Why does everybody seem so tired? Is Josh torturing you guys?"Terry waved his hand and faintly replied, "Not exactly, but Mr. Grayson is pushing us hard."Can you talk to Mr. Grayson and ask him to cut us some slack? We've been working overtime for days. Our bodies can't take it anymore."Everyone's hearts held uns

However, Joshua insisted that he was no longer in love with Natasha.Natalie hated to think about what Joshua's actions meant. She looked thoughtfully toward the president's office."Ms. Lovelace?" Terry asked. He noticed Natalie's unusual expression and felt a little uneasy.Natalie snapped back to reality and cleared her throat. "I'll go right now."She told herself that Joshua couldn't be in love with Natasha anymore. There was no way he could be in love with anyone other than her.Terry quietly hoped that Joshua would cool off as he watched Natalie make her way to the president's office.…Natasha drove home. Her eyes were tired from the experiments she had been doing these days.After putting down her bag, she filled the electric kettle's tea infuser with dried nettle leaves.Then, she plugged the kettle in and brought it to a boil to make nettle tea—rich in vitamins and nutrients that could promote eye and kidney health.Natasha watched the tea simmer for a while before

Natasha thought for a moment before replying, "It's unlikely I'll be out of touch with Malcolm."Although she told Malcolm to contact Ryan on WhatsApp, she was nominally still in charge of the project.It wasn't entirely possible to cut off contact with Malcolm since Audrey would still have to contact her. They would just be in contact less often."Oh…" Ryan's voice sounded over the phone.Natasha sensed disappointment in Ryan's tone. His puppy dog eyes seemed to flash across her mind.Suddenly, she felt sorry for him and said, "I can't avoid contacting Malcolm, but we won't be in touch often. Just occasionally during the project's mid or late stages.""Really?""Absolutely. I've never even texted Malcolm on WhatsApp. I guess you can believe me now, right?" Natasha had no idea why she was explaining things to him.Ryan's disappointment vanished, and a smile spread across his face. "Of course, I do, professor!"At first, he had been worried that Malcolm would bother Natasha. Bu

Ryan was confident he could complete the project successfully.He wanted to prove to Natasha that he had learned much from following her, and also prove his worth. This was the only way he could remain at Natasha's side.Fearing that Natasha might be worried, Ryan added, "You can trust me on this. I can handle this. I'll rest if my body can't handle it."Feeling relieved to hear Ryan's sincere reassurance, Natasha said, "I'll leave it to you, then. Go and get some rest."After hanging up, Natasha slowly finished her nettle tea. The tea was bitter, but Natasha seemed numb to the bitterness as she drank it all.She wouldn't have touched such bitter tea in the past. Even if she had, it would have been Jacob's cajoling that did the trick.However, Jacob's death marked the beginning of her anguish, and since then, she could swallow anything bitter.She had become intimate with the taste of bitterness as she had always used it to ease the pain within her.…With mixed feelings, Nata

All eyes were on Natalie as she pushed down on the door handle. The door swung open.Natalie knew the consequences of barging in. She was going to face some terrible consequences if Joshua was truly pissed off, but she didn't have time to worry about that.If she embarrassed herself in front of the Grayson Corporation's employees, it would put her authority in jeopardy once she was Joshua's wife.She couldn't let that happen. Such a risk could solidify her position in the eyes of everyone at Grayson Corporation and Joshua's.Natalie mentally reassured herself that she was the one who was Joshua's comfort whenever he was so distraught. This could prove how much she loved him.When she opened the door, she found that the office was not the chaotic scene that she had imagined it to be. Instead, the place looked and felt normal.The leather couch gleamed silver in the light. The entire office was filled with Joshua's distinctive scent—rich, woody notes of sandalwood with a subtle, sm
