Back in the Maybach, Natalie was having a good time teasing Yandel.
“I saw everything back there. I bet she's head over heels for you. She certainly won't be able to sleep tonight. She might even put your name card underneath her pillow.”
Yandel frowned. His heart was in a mess. This was not what he wanted.
“Boss, you know I'm willing to do anything for you, but this is just too much. How could you sacrifice me and ask me to seduce her?”
“You must use everything within your capacity to your advantage. I'm sure she will contact you sooner or later. She might even text you tonight. I bet she will add you on WhatsApp.”
Despite all her teasing, Yandel knew Natalie had a plan, but still, thinking about Melissa's reaction made him cringe.
“So what should I do if she reaches out to me?” he asked.
“Just be passive. Don't initiate anything, but don't turn her down either. You're not responsible for anything.”
“So in essence, you want me to be a jerk.”
“Bingo,” Natalie exclaimed. “She's Thomas' second favorite after Yara. She might be able to be of help to us in the future.”
Natalie stopped and thought about the past. “My mum misjudged Thomas. He turned out to be the very person who snatched Dexmed Pharmaceutical from Granddad, but I'm sure he had help from someone on the outside. Dream's rise is a threat to Dexmed Pharmaceutical, but it's still not enough to shake its core. As long as the person who supported him last time is still standing by him, Dellmoor and Chanaea will still be his turfs. There is a lot more going on underneath the superficial competition between Dexmed Pharmaceutical and Dream. This is also why although Dream has carved out a niche for itself as a leading company in Dellmoor, it has yet to challenge Dexmed Pharmaceutical directly.”
Dexmed Pharmaceutical was not the formidable enemy Natalie was worried about.
It was the person who had been aiding Thomas all this while that she targeted.
“I see...” Yandel finally understood the gravity of the issue.
The rest of the journey to the Bowers residence was spent in silence.
Yandel was curious about why things seemed to be progressing swiftly between Natalie and Samuel, but he respected Natalie too much to pry into her private life. It appeared to him that Natalie was in a serious relationship with Samuel.
Anyone would fall for a man like this.
Come to think of it, I should probably sign him up as one of the celebrities under Dream Entertainment. I will be able to profit so much from him.
