Chapter 200 Faster
Chapter 200 Faster
‘Am I seeing things? Jack thought, blinking hard, double-checking that the woman Jared was holding wasn’t Lizzie He was totally stunned. ‘Wait, does Mr. Rundell have another woman?’
Only when their figures disappeared down the hall did Jack realize he had just caught onto something he really shouldn’t
have known.
Inside the luxury car, Natasha curled up in Jared’s arms, docile as a sleepy kitten. Jared instructed the driver to take them to his villa.
“I’m not going… Urgh… Natasha protested, but her stomach twisted suddenly, and a wave of nausea hit her.
“Are you okay?” Jared asked, pulling her closer, worry clear in his voice.
Natasha shook her head, and before she could say anything, the car suddenly took a sharp turn. Caught off guard, she tumbled right onto Jared’s lap. Her whole body stiffened with awkwardness, her face burning like fire.
Natasha frantically tried to get off Jared, panic written all over her face. But Jared held her firmly, pressing her back down using his sheer strength, stubbornly refusing to let her budge, as if he was deliberately trying to embarrass her to death.
“Let me go…” Natasha pleaded frantically, struggling to get away, but Jared refused to loosen his grip, not even a bit.
“Dare to drink that much again next time?” he asked.
Natasha glared at him resentfully. “Why do you care about me? If you want to meddle, go take care of your Ms. Hopkins!”
Jared laughed, not the least bit annoyed. “Wow, you’re really jealous, aren’t you?”
Natasha snapped back, “Who’s jealous? Me? Please.”
‘No way am I ever admitting I’m jealous about him and Lizzie, Natasha muttered inwardly.
Jared’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Whoever thought I was sending Lizzie home and drank herself silly is jealous.”
Natasha’s face twitched; she just stared at him, dumbfounded. This damn guy is clearly calling me out,’ she thought, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed. ‘I can’t believe he saw right through me.’ Natasha felt a mix of anger and
embarrassment.
“Not me…” she protested. But before she could finish, the car suddenly hit a speed bump, and even the fanciest ride couldn’ t avoid a jolt. The wheels rolled over it, and Natasha felt a wave of nausea crashing through her. “Urgh!” she gagged, barely holding it in.
She leaned over, looking like she was about to throw up over his lap. “Go ahead, if you dare,” Jared taunted, frowning and shooting her a glare, clearly not believing she would do it.
But just as he finished speaking, there was the unmistakable sound of her puking. Everyone in the car was losing their minds. Jared was in shock, completely stunned.
Natasha shrugged off his hand from her back, grabbed a tissue from her bag, and wiped her mouth. She looked calm and said without even a hint of guilt for puking on him. “You literally told me to.”
Jared was at a loss for words; his good-looking face turned dark. He didn’t even dare look down at the mess on his lap.’ God knows just how much of a clean freak I am, he thought. ‘But now…
If any other woman had dared to do so to him, he would have thrown her out of the car without a second thought. But it was Natasha. When it came to her, he was totally helpless.
That just proved how much she meant to him. But at least now he finally had a valid reason to drag her back to his place.
As soon as they stepped into the villa, Jared rushed straight to the bathroom. Natasha had thrown up in the car earlier, and now the booze was finally wearing off.
However, her mouth still tasted nasty. Therefore, she followed Jared into the bathroom to rinse her mouth. But just as she stepped in, Natasha saw Jared completely naked, about to hop into the shower.
Natasha cried out, “How did you get undressed so fast?”
Jared flashed her a meaningful grin. “Want to bet I could undress you even faster?”
Natasha’s pretty face instantly flushed. “You creep!” She shrieked and bolted out of the bathroom.
Nevertheless, she caught a glimpse of something she shouldn’t have seen. Natasha shook her head and dashed into the kitchen.

Chapter 200 Faster
She wanted to make herself a honey drink to ease the hangover. But after searching all over, she couldn’t find any honey So she ended up pouring herself a small glass of vinegar instead.
But the straight vinegar smelled absolutely awful. She had to pinch her nose and force herself to gulp it down Her head finally stopped spinning so much.
She was about to head upstairs to see if Jared was done. Just then, her phone rang, and Natasha swiped to answer “Hello”” It was her mom, Sandra.
“Nat, have you seen Joelle?” Sandra’s voice was laced with panic.
Natasha answered coldly, “No.”
Sandra sounded anxious. “What should we do now? Joelle’s suddenly unreachable again.”
Natasha’s lips twitched. “Don’t tell me she’s gone missing again?”
‘Seriously, how much longer is Joelle planning to keep pulling this stunt?’ Natasha thought, exasperated. ‘She just won’t be satisfied until Mom’s a nervous wreck, will she?’
Sandra said, “Ever since that night you brought Percy back to the Whittier residence for dinner, she’s gone missing. I don’t know if she’s upset over something.”
Natasha couldn’t help but frown. Her mom was clearly blaming her for upsetting Joelle. But they were the ones who insisted she bring Percy over in the first place.
But when she actually brought Percy over, everyone, especially Joelle, ended up pissed. ‘As if I’ve broken some unwritten rule or something, she thought.
Natasha scoffed, her lips twisting into a mocking smile. “What could upset her?”
“Joelle…” Sandra started but Natasha interrupted, her patience wearing thin.
