"We're not having the meeting today," Tobias said.
"But today's meeting is very important," Benjamin replied.
"Postpone it no matter how important it is," Tobias did not hesitate when he answered.
"Yes, Mr. Whitlock." Benjamin was surprised as he stepped out of the ward. This was the first time Tobias was postponing a meeting because of personal matters.
Natalie woke up when it was almost dinner time. All she saw were patches of white when she opened her eyes.
She reached out to rub her eyes. Where was she?
She caught a glimpse of the surgical tape on the back of her hand. She even had an injection?
"Awake?" Natalie was startled by a flat voice.
She followed the source of the voice and spotted Tobias sitting next to her. He was wearing a lavish white shirt and it made him look elegant.
"Why are you sitting next to me? Don't you think that I'm dirty?" Natalie gnashed her teeth as soon as she noticed Tobias.
Tobias was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Natalie," Tobias continued, "I misunderstood you."
"What's the point of apologizing?" Natalie raised her eyebrows and added, "It's no use crying over spilled milk."
"You're right, Idiot Girl," Tobias replied.
"How dare you check my phone!" Natalie was furious.
"I didn't mean to." Tobias was unmoving.
Natalie snorted coldly.
"Fishnet stockings won't ward off men."
