It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 715

"Yes. Only this way YS group can make new breakthroughs in the advertising industry." Belinda raised her head to look at him. Partnering with YD Group was just the preliminary stage. Whether or not they got the company's outdoor advertising plan depended a lot on their abilities.

"Okay. But take care of your own self. Don't stress yourself out about this too much." Duke's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't know much about YD Group. He was a bit worried about Belinda putting in so much effort into this. But it wasn't possible to try and persuade her to quit now. She knew that if a company wanted to survive in the competitive market, sticking to the rules didn't do the trick. Only innovations and new elements could help one remain invincible.

"You will help me, right?" Belinda asked Duke hopefully.

"No, I won't. I have a lot of things to do myself. I won't have time to help you." Duke glanced at her indifferently. Her hopeful expression hadn't moved him.

"Huh. You're selfish." Belinda pursed her lips. She had known that Duke would say no to her request. But she hadn't expected his blunt reply. She felt a bit hurt.

"Is there anything else that needs to be done? If not, we should go." Duke glanced at her and saw the clear disappointment in her eyes. He couldn't let himself help her too much, she'd become dependent on him. For her own good, she should learn to handle things by herself. He'd still be by her side every step of the way.

"Just a second." Belinda packed up her things, including the documents she had to take home with her. Although she was bothered by Duke's coldness, she didn't say anything. She couldn't force him to do something he didn't want to do. She was indeed stubborn and a little childish, but she wasn't the kind of person who would willfully force someone to help her.

Dusk in late autumn was always exquisite. Yellow leaves danced in the breeze, flaunting their beauty one last time before descending onto the ground lazily. The elegant couple walked slowly. Their alluring looks against the charming scenery made every passerby feel envy.

"We will take my car. Leave yours in the parking lot," Duke said as he pulled open the car door. It was more of an order than a suggestion. He had always been the dominating one in their relationship.

"I guess that's okay. I can use a driver right now. I don't want to drive anyway." Belinda gladly got inside his car. It would be a waste if they drove two different cars at the same time anyway. So she accepted the suggestion without any hesitation.

Duke's jaw ticked. He was at a loss for words. Was he a mere driver in her eyes? His mouth set in a grim line. He swiftly went over to the driver's seat and settled behind the steering wheel.

"Buckle up." Duke glanced at her, his expression dark.

"Duke, you're really volatile. Your mood swings are out of control." Belinda looked at him as she obediently fastened her seat belt.

"That's true. You know that, so you shouldn't try to rile me up." Duke said dangerously with a smirk. He started the car and drove out of the parking lot of YS group.

"Well, as long as others don't provoke me first, I don't usually bother them without a valid reason. Don't worry, I'm too tame to trouble you." Belinda scrutinized him, realizing that he looked more handsome in his side profile.

"That's good." He honked the car's horn several times. It was rush hour after work and they were stuck in the traffic jam.

"Should we ask Leena to come too? She must be bored. She's not used to being alone at home," Belinda changed the subject abruptly, remembering Leena. Even though it was aggravating how Leena always defied her, Belinda couldn't help but worry about her. In her eyes, Leena was just a little girl, no matter how many times she tried to prove otherwise.

"No, let her be. The marriage is her own choice. Now she has to adapt herself to that way of life. She's on her own." Duke said coldly. He was not the same person anymore who used to spoil his little sister recklessly.

"Are you serious? It's been a long time since that happened. You can't still be mad about that?" Belinda couldn't help but snort. No wonder Leena was afraid to see her big brother these days! It was quite petty of Duke to still hold a grudge against Leena for her decision.
