She had a hunch that these two people must have something to say, and it was specific for her.
Surely enough. Once they got to the bathroom, Doris and Lanny started talking as if no one was there, completely ignoring Natalie's presence.
"Actually, I have long felt that Mr. Whitlock had a different sexual preference. There was a hot secretary who once tried to seduce Mr. Whitlock, and she was fired the next day."
"Yeah, or else how can regular men be indifferent to a woman's seduction?"
"There were so many beautiful ladies last night. Why didn't Mr. Whitlock choose them? Hey, there must be something fishy."
"Some people should not be complacent, be careful of becoming a ruse or something."
Hearing this, Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Surely enough. The two said it to her on purpose.
With so many people in the office, it was not appropriate to discuss Mr. Whitlock's sexual orientation, so they went to the bathroom to discuss.
Tobias picked her as his dance partner last night.
Was this a warning because they were afraid she might get carried away?
Natalie washed her hands and said breezily, "Lanny, why are you saying that about Mr. Whitlock? Didn't you think Mr. Whitlock would be dazzled by your beauty yesterday? Why did you change your mind overnight?"
Lanny was silent.
Natalie walked out of the bathroom.
It seemed that not only herself, but they all were suspicious of Tobias and his sexuality.
Natalie thought, "Fortunately, I have a strong will. Otherwise, I would have fallen under the trap of Tobias and ended up as his wife."
Natalie patted herself on the chest. Fortunately, she was smart.
Just as she was thinking about it, she ran into someone.
It was Linda.
Linda smiled when she saw her. "I was looking for you. The guy in your office said you were in the bathroom, so I came."
Natalie was also glad to meet Linda.
Linda was pure and kind-hearted, and she wasn't sarcastic. Natalie liked this friend a lot.
Linda pulled Natalie to the side and asked hushedly, "Natalie, how were you with Mr. Whitlock last night?"
Tension flashed in her eyes.
After all, she was the one who knew about the relationship between Natalie and Tobias. But since she had been specifically warned, she had to pretend she didn't know everything and couldn't tell Natalie.
Last night, Linda saw that Tobias had chosen Natalie as the most beautiful girl in the audience, just to dance with her. He even took Natalie away, so she thought Tobias must still love Natalie.
God knew what they did last night after they left the hotel.
Did Natalie recall the past?
Linda was curious out of her wits.
Natalie looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
Linda saw the look on her face and thought she had really remembered something, instantly urging. "Natalie, tell me."
Natalie lowered her voice and said, "Linda, do you find anything different with Mr. Whitlock?"
Linda was at a loss. "What's different?"
Natalie whispered meaningfully, "His sexual orientation."
Linda was even more confused.
Natalie said deeply, "What he likes must be unusual. He is different from ordinary men. He has different tastes."
After all, Natalie thought, it was not good to be too blunt when it came to Tobias' privacy. In any case, Linda should understand her.
However, Linda didn't understand.
After a long while, she suddenly came to a realization.
Could it be that something truly had happened between Natalie and Mr. Whitlock last night?!
What's more, quite exciting?
"Tsk tsk," Linda couldn't believe that Mr. Whitlock was so open under his serious surface.
'k'k'k'k'k'k
At noon, Benjamin came to find Natalie.
"Miss Godfrey, Mr. Whitlock is looking for you," said Benjamin.
His expression was a little complicated.
