However, Natasha's back was unmistakably identical to the photo. Could Natasha be Nancy?The thought crossed Joshua's mind but was quickly dismissed. Natasha was just an orphan. She couldn't possibly be a researcher in this lab, let alone Nancy.Natasha pursed her lips. Her tone was calm as she said, "I'm conducting an experiment."Being caught by Joshua while conducting an experiment, any other lies would only raise more suspicion, given his character. She had no choice but to be honest.She hadn't even picked up the herbs scattered on the ground.Joshua was filled with disbelief. "You're conducting an experiment?"As he finished speaking, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He continued, "You'd better tell the truth."This time, he wouldn't forgive her again.Instead of replying, Natasha stooped to pick up the scattered herbs. They were all rare and valuable ones. It was such a waste to drop it on the ground.She quietly picked up the herbs one by one while Joshua pressed
Joshua continued, "So you don't need to force yourself to do experiments here. It won't benefit you or Grayson Corp."His voice was calm. He was reminding Natasha and drawing a line between them.Natasha lifted her eyes, forcing a stiff smile.She didn't bother to explain, nor did she see the need to. If Joshua misunderstood her, it would prevent her identity from being exposed. She wouldn't lose anything. So why not go along with it?In Joshua's eyes, Natasha's stiff smile seemed bitter and awkward, making her appear somewhat pitiful.However, Joshua showed no signs of being moved."Leave now."These words were devoid of any warmth.Natasha pursed her lips. In her mind, she was thinking about her unfinished experiments, but given the current situation...Before she could react, Joshua had already reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her down the stairs.He didn't give Natasha any choice at all, clearly not wanting her to stay in this research building for a moment long
Natasha loved Joshua too much. Unfortunately, Joshua loved Natalie. She had devoted her whole heart to the wrong person."Why aren't you driving?" Joshua's voice was cold.Ben snapped out of his thoughts. "Sorry."Even though he was now on Natalie's side, seeing Natasha standing at the door with a complicated expression, he couldn't help but pity her.Ben glanced at Joshua's darkened face and gathered his courage. "Mr. Grayson, why is Ms. Sullivan here?"He wondered if he could also bring Natasha along.Sitting in the car, Joshua had a complicated expression. He pondered why he hadn't seen Nancy two consecutive times.What was the problem?Hearing Ben's question, he suddenly had doubts in his mind.How did Natasha get into the laboratory before him? How did an orphan like her get there?She had no connections and no family background. It was impossible for her to have access to the laboratory like he did.Could Natasha have some kind of secret?Joshua narrowed his eyes.No
Frowning, Joshua sat in the car with a gloomy face as if burdened by worries. His already cold face, coupled with his darkened expression, made him even more unapproachable.It was obvious that his mood was exceptionally poor after not finding Nancy two consecutive times.Ben drove the car on tenterhooks, afraid to inadvertently provoke Joshua with any action.A sudden ringing of a phone broke the silence in the car, sounding jarringly out of place.Hearing the phone ring in such a somber atmosphere, Ben couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. He silently mourned for the unfortunate caller.Joshua answered the phone."Josh, where are you? I haven't seen you for days," Natalie said in a sweet voice.Ben instantly felt at ease when he heard Natalie's voice on the other end of the line. There wouldn't be a problem, then.He had never seen Joshua lose his temper with Natalie. Perhaps she could improve Joshua's mood, sparing him from Joshua's wrath.Joshua's voice remai
With these thoughts in mind, Natalie could almost envision the grand scene of her marrying into the Grayson family.Hearing this, Joshua looked out the car window at the night scenery. His expression remained unchanged. "Come to the office tomorrow. It's already late today."He thought Natalie was just coming to deliver some cakes and snacks she made herself to help him relax.He didn't expect her to bring any surprises that could help Grayson Corp. However, she was doing it to make him feel better.Furthermore, he had promised Philip to temporarily hold off on divorcing Natasha for the sake of his president position at Grayson Corp. He felt guilty about it, so he didn't want to offend Natalie's kindness and make her sad.After pondering for a moment, Natalie agreed and said with concern, "Alright, see you tomorrow. Josh, don't overwork yourself, or I'll be very worried about you.""Okay." His voice was indifferent. After that, he hung up the phone.When the call ended, Ben look
Natalie shot an annoyed look at the receptionist, who was trying a bit too hard to be friendly. Ignoring her, Natalie toyed with the package in her hands.Her usually innocent charm was nowhere to be found, and her gaze turned sullen. On the sidelines, the receptionist stood awkwardly.The delivery man tried to address Natalie, "Miss—"With a tone that brooked no argument, the receptionist interrupted, "She's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend. Just give her the package."The delivery man eyed Natalie with uncertainty."The contents are valuable. Are you sure she's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend? What if something goes wrong?" he questioned skeptically.Natalie's expression shifted. At first, she hesitated to open the package, but then her curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to see the valuable item Natasha had sent.Looking at the receptionist, Natalie requested, "Give me a cutter."However, the receptionist paused after taking in the delivery man's caution. She feared the consequence
Ben grabbed the package from the delivery man. The delivery man knew Ben because he had taken packages for Grayson Corporation's president before. It was at that moment the delivery guy finally believed that Natalie was, in fact, the president's girlfriend.Natalie turned down the package with a condescending look. "I don't need it anymore."Ben swiftly pulled back his hand. "Don't need it anymore?" he muttered, unsure if Natalie was upset.She stayed silent and headed for the elevator. Ben quickly trailed behind while still holding the package.Soon, they reached Joshua's office. Natalie went in without saying anything, and Ben did the same.After placing the package at Joshua's desk, Ben made a quick exit. He didn't want to stick around and get caught up in Joshua's personal affairs.Startled by the sounds, Joshua briefly looked up at Natalie before lowering his head to resume reviewing the documents. Natalie sat silently on the couch across the desk, her expression icy cold.
Even though Joshua held the authorization letter, he didn't feel happy or relieved. He looked confused with his eyebrows wrinkled and eyes squinted.Remembering Ron's past fake authorization, Joshua closely examined Natasha's document. It had an anti-counterfeit security label. Professor Nancy's signature inside also seemed genuine, with no signs of being forged.Joshua couldn't unravel the mysteries Natasha held. Not only could she get into the research building, but she also had a way to secure a letter of authorization.As he scrutinized the document, memories of his unexpected run-ins with Natasha replayed in his mind.The more he pondered, the more he sensed that something was off. Could it be that Natasha had an extraordinary identity?"Josh, can I take a look?" A sweet voice interrupted Joshua's thoughts.Natalie had planned to playfully express her jealousy over Natasha's gift delivery. She hoped this would not only deepen her connection with Joshua but also provide an op
