A Cue for Love novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474 Seen It Before

If not for Natalie’s timely intervention, Wendy dared not fathom how she might be sullied by Gerik and his bunch of hoodlums.

Seeing Natalie comfort her in spite of her injuries, Wendy simultaneously felt awful and warm inside. Her eyes puffed up red like a rabbit’s.

Not knowing how she might be able to repay Natalie, she bawled on for some time more before she eked out, “I’d continue to work earnestly so I’d make you lots and lots of money, Boss.”

“Good to hear. Good to hear.” Natalie could not help but chuckle at that. “Looking forward to it already.”

Bastien looked on glowingly at the pair.

This woman isn’t very well built, but she showed no fear whatsoever in spite of the odds that were stacked against her. Her diminutive figure belies an indomitable will no lesser than most men.

Though he was positive that he had not met this little woman prior, her silhouette felt somehow familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before.

It was only after Lucas came out to investigate on account of Natalie and Wendy’s prolonged absence did he realize what they had gone through.

“Are you okay, Wendy?” Lucas looked upon Wendy with such concern that his eyes were oozing with anguish. “I’m sorry for being so negligent. I should have come looking when you failed to return, and shouldn’t have taken this long to realize that something was amiss.”

With her own hands firmly in Lucas’ grasp, Wendy averted her gaze, seemingly at a loss as to how to react.

“Wendy’s quite shaken, but is otherwise unharmed,” Natalie said. “See her back to the hotel and help me take good care of her, Lucas Monroe. Otherwise, you’ll be answering to me!”

“Understood.” Lucas nodded vigorously.

The frowning Wendy was still worried for Natalie. “What about you, Boss? You seem to be hurt too!”

There was no way Natalie was going to allow herself to intrude upon Wendy’s and Lucas’ rare alone time, so she patted Bastien on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about me, for Mr. Nine and I are really tight! Aren’t we, Mr. Nine?”

Joseph glared at Natalie and was about to berate her for being presumptive when Bastien replied amicably, “Rest assured that I’ll look after her.”
