"Don't you understand, Natalie? Whatever. If you suffer when you wake up from your dream, why don't you just stay in the dream?" Remington said with his thoughtful eyes.
There was growing doubt in Natalie's eyes.
Why did she feel Remington was kind of mysterious? She didn't even know what he was talking about.
"Miss Godfrey, we will board soon," said Benjamin. Just as Natalie was about to ask Remington what he really meant, Benjamin hurried over and interrupted.
He saw Remington.
"Mr. Remington," Benjamin greeted him politely. He seemed distant.
Remington smiled gently, but he gazed at Natalie and said, "Natalie, let's board the plane and go on with your lovely dream. I wish you will never wake up from it."
Natalie's eyelashes trembled.
She didn't know why, but her happiness and excitement suddenly turned into mixed feelings due to what Remington said.
She didn't even notice that Remington kept staring at her after she left, and the stare in his eyes was becoming unreadable.
"Miss Godfrey, did Mr. Remington tell you something?" Benjamin said. He observed that Natalie was acting weirdly after boarding the plane.
Natalie forced a smile and said, "He didn't say anything to me. He just said something strange."
Natalie couldn't figure out what those words meant.
Benjamin comforted Natalie and said, "Miss Godfrey, Mr. Remington has always been like this. He is cynical and unreliable, so don't be bothered by the things he says."
"Is that so?" Natalie looked at Benjamin.
Benjamin nodded and replied, "Yes."
Benjamin's words brightened Natalie's mood instantly. She thought that maybe he was right. Remington was just joking with her. His words did not mean what she imagined them to.
Once she felt better, she started to engage in gossip.
"Benjamin, do Tobias and Remington have a bad relationship?" Natalie couldn't help gossiping.
"Miss Godfrey, it is all in your head. The sibling relationship between President Whitlock and Mr. Remington is authentic. It's just that they have very contrasting personalities. Mr. Remington is undisciplined and cynical, whereas President Whitlock is calm and reserved.
Natalie's excitement about gossip was ruined.
She thought that the relationship between them would be as complicated as it was in the novels she read, but it turned out to be just so-so.
Although Benjamin said this, Natalie still had a strong intuition that it was definitely not as simple as Benjamin made Tobias and Remington's relationship to be. However, she couldn't tell the specifics.
The plane was flying high in the sky and dispersed the clouds in its path, leaving the contrails behind.
Natalie stared at the clouds in a daze until Benjamin reminded her that the plane was about to land.
Natalie then realized that the time passed so quickly in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Godfrey, I will take you to President Whitlock's hotel to take a rest after getting off the plane," Benjamin said to Natalie.
Natalie nodded.
She knew that Tobias was definitely occupied. It was still daytime, so most probably, he would work till late at night.
Benjamin suddenly thought of something and told Natalie casually, "Miss Godfrey, you've come at the right moment. It'll be President Whitlock's birthday in two days."
"Tobias' birthday?" Natalie said.
Natalie was at a loss for words.
Goodness, she didn't even know about it!
If Benjamin had not told her about this, she would not have known about it at all.
Natalie felt that it was a dereliction of duty as a wife.
She thought about it all the way and walked out of the VIP passage with Benjamin.
