Chapter 244 He Had Fallen Head Over Heels
Once Natalie finished speaking, Billy and Sarah were taken back and stared at her in disbelief.
They had seen a lot of beautiful women. Although Natalie was not exceptionally gorgeous, her temperament was unique, making people deeply attracted by her calm demeanor.
She was like a piece of jade, not ostentatious but had both inner and outer beauty, which was precious.
They did not understand why Samuel tried so hard to protect Natalie back then. However, now they understood. It was because she was worth it.
In the meantime, Samuel’s expression was frosty.
“Are you threatening me?”
“No,” Natalie denied. Then, she continued softly, “I’m just asking for mercy for them.”
Asking for mercy? She’s obviously threatening me! Billy and Sarah didn’t manage to protect her and should be punished. Only then will they remember the lesson and won’t make the same mistake again. This woman is saying that I should punish her as well. How can I watch her getting injured again?
After taking a deep breath, Samuel piped up, “You’re exempted from punishment, but you still have to reflect upon your mistakes. You’re dismissed.”
“Yes.”
Billy and Sarah stood up. They were deeply moved and only left the room after giving Natalie a grateful look.
After they left, Samuel leaned over and bit Natalie’s lips.
“What are you doing?”
“Since you asked for mercy for them, you’ve to bear with my anger.”
In response, Natalie widened her eyes and glanced at him.
“Samuel, it’s good to be fair in giving out rewards and penalties. However, I can see that although they’re your subordinates, they’re people who are close to you. It’s normal for accidents to happen during a mission. I can feel that they’ve done everything they could to protect me. Since they’ve tried their best, it’s enough. Moreover, I know you won’t be happy even if you punish them.”
She meant every word she said.
