My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 527

"Merry, I didn't say that he is my father," Natalie explained weakly.

"That's what you implied, anyway." Merry huffed. "My nephew is very pissed off at being teased like a fool for nothing. I always thought that you were a nice girl, but instead, you made fun of me like this. Oh! I'm still so mad."

Merry stomped away in a fit after she finished talking.

Natalie stood on the spot with a lump in her throat as she fought back tears.

She felt terrible for that entire morning, like a hole was carved into her heart.

She wasn't sure if she was upset about her conversation with Tobias or because she felt wronged by Merry's accusations.

Tobias was attending a meeting that afternoon, so she didn't need to send him lunch.

Thus, she had lunch with Linda instead.

Natalie stared into the distance as she toyed absentmindedly with her fork. She seemed preoccupied.

Linda raised her brows in concern as she noticed that there was something amiss with her.

"Natalie, what's wrong?"

Natalie blinked twice, then stared at Linda in bewilderment. "Huh! It's nothing."

She chuckled half- heartedly and shoved a spoonful of potatoes into her mouth.

The food tasted bland on her tongue. Did the chef forget to add salt to the dish?

"Look at yourself." Linda frowned and said, " You look like you just went through a heartbreak."

Linda had had a breakup previously, too. Besides, she had also witnessed her friends being heartbroken. Natalie looked exactly like it.

Natalie immediately snapped out of her thoughts.

Heartbroken?

How could she be heartbroken?

She had never, ever fallen in love with anyone before.

After lunch, Natalie hurried back to her office.

Linda's comment about her being heartbroken kept replaying in her mind.

She gave it a serious thought, and after a while, she finally came up with a logical explanation.

She must have fallen in love with Tobias.

But before she could confess her feelings, Lucy suddenly appeared in their life, and it hit her hard.

And paired that with what Tobias had told her that morning...

Their flirtatious and ambiguous relationship ended before it really began.

Admittedly, Natalie was crushed.

However, after thinking for a moment, she comforted herself that it was best to end their relationship.

A man like Tobias was totally out of her league from the start.

Perhaps those things that he had told her before were just a joke.

She blamed herself for being stupid enough to fall for it.

As she was lost in her thoughts, an idea suddenly crossed her mind.

That afternoon, Natalie arrived at the entrance of the president's office before it was time to get off work.

She stood at the door and hesitated for a long time until Benjamin came up to her.

"Hi, Miss Godfrey," he greeted from behind.

Natalie jumped, caught off guard.

When she turned around and realized that it was

Benjamin, her face flushed, and she stuttered, "Simp... Mr. Simpson."

"Is there anything that I can do for you, Miss Godfrey? Are you looking for Mr. Whitlock?" Benjamin looked at her questioningly.

Natalie licked her lower lip as she thought of an excuse.

Now that she was standing outside of Mr. Whitlock's office, it was obvious that she was looking for him.

"Yes," she replied, her voice wavering.

"You can go in, Miss Godfrey. Mr. Whitlock is in." Benjamin grinned politely.

"Alright." Natalie had no choice but to knock on the door.

"Miss Godfrey," Benjamin called out as she was about to knock on the door.

"What is it, Mr. Simpson?"

Benjamin's face flushed as he smiled coyly at her.

Natalie stared at him. "What's wrong?"

"Miss Godfrey, I want to ask about Miss... Miss... Miss Simpson. How is she doing?" Benjamin stammered and finally finished his sentence.
