Chapter 1820 Dispute
“Get lost!” At Nathaniel’s bellow, Teddy hurriedly gathered his things and left without making a sound.
Only when he had left did Nathaniel turn to look at me. “Are you all right?”
I shrugged to indicate that it was not a big deal, but that did not stop me from roasting him. “He does look like a teddy bear dog.”
It was originally said as a joke to liven up the atmosphere. However, several senior members seemed to take offense at it, as they left the room one after another the moment those words left my lips. I raised my brows in self-mockery. “They don’t seem to like me very much.”
Nathaniel’s lips curved upward slightly. “They don’t have to. It’s enough that I like you.”
“Speak properly, will you? That’s cheesy.” I ducked to avoid his face as he drew closer.
Nathaniel seemed to be in a good mood as he let it slide. He got up and led me out through a different door to a viewing platform at a high point of the villa.
The winter night of K City had always been chilly, especially on that night, as there were signs of incoming snow. Feeling the strong breeze on the mountain top, I instinctively wrapped my arms around myself as I stomped my feet to keep warm.
Nathaniel was still quite gentlemanly, seeing as he immediately draped his jacket over me.
I stood still when my body was finally warmed up. Then I began to survey the surroundings.
We seemed to be standing on the highest point of the viewing platform. Looking down, I noticed that other than the brightly lit villa in the distance and the dim lights of the viewing platform on the mountainside, the rest of the surroundings were pitch black.
While blowing warm air onto my hands, I asked, “What are you up to?”
For some reason, Nathaniel let out a chuckle as he walked over to a wooden bench at the side and sat down. While still maintaining his silence, he tilted his head to look at the sky with a blissful expression.
