Chapter 211 Afraid of Being Found Out

As soon as it was over, Natasha rushed straight into the restroom.

‘Jared is just too much, she thought angrily. ‘How could he make me do that in the company’s reception room, in broad daylight?’

Jared pressed in close from behind, his strong masculine presence instantly surrounding her.

“What are you doing?” Natasha asked, flustered and uneasy.

“Washing my hands,” Jared said, completely unfazed, like it was the most normal thing ever.

Held in place by him, Natasha tensed completely.

They were still in the company. If anyone walked in and saw them like this, they would surely think she was trying to seduce Jared.

“Let me go,” Natasha said.

She squirmed in his arms, trying to break free.

But Jared just pulled her in even tighter.

“You’ve been washing your hands for a while now,” Jared murmured right by her ear. “Let me help you.”

His warm breath fell close against her ear.

Natasha’s body reacted instantly, a shiver running through her.

“No, I can wash my hands myself!” Natasha instinctively resisted, trying to pull away from him.

“No. We’ll wash together,” Jared said firmly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Before she could react, Jared grabbed her hand and slid it under the faucet.

He started washing their hands together, his movements gentle but firm.

The water splashed over their hands, filling the room with its steady sound.

Jared’s palm was flush against the back of Natasha’s hand, holding her close.

The warm water flowed over his hand first, then trickled onto Natasha’s skin, making her shiver.

Jared’s hand was so big that it could easily cover both of hers.

The rough calluses on his palm brushed against her soft skin, making her shiver Natasha felt a tingling rush shoot right through her, making her heart skip a beat.

Jared’s fingers were long and strong.

With his grip on her hand, there was no way she could break free.

She could only let him guide her as he carefully washed her hands one by one.

“Are you done yet?” she blurted out, unable to hide her impatience.

“Not even close. We haven’t pumped the soap yet,” Jared murmured right next to her ear.

Then he pumped out some soap, working it into a thick, foamy lather between their hands.

Their fingers interlaced, locking together as he washed her hands.

Jared’s breath was all around her, making Natasha feel completely enveloped by him.

Every breath she took was saturated with his scent.

And right now, Jared’s chest was pressed firmly against her back, his warmth making her shiver.

She could feel his solid chest muscles and the burning warmth radiating from his body.

Natasha felt her temperature rising, her body growing hotter by the second.

Bit by bit, her reason was slipping away.

Then, she heard the sound of high heels approaching, coming straight toward them.

Natasha jolted, snapping back to reality.

“Someone’s coming!” she blurted out, her voice

She shoved him away in a hurry.

Successfully unlocked!

Jared held Natasha in place as he continued the slow, deliberate motion of washing her hands.

“Just ignore it,” he murmured, his voice deep and raspy.

‘Like I could just pretend nothing’s happening, Natasha thought, her heart racing.

The sound of heels was getting louder, coming right toward them.

Natasha’s nerves went haywire, panic kicking in.

“Don’t do this! Let me go!” Natasha pleaded.

Jared brushed a kiss against her cheek, his eyes turning even darker and more intense.

“What, scared someone will catch you fooling around with me?” he teased, his voice low and dangerous,

“No, that’s not it…” Natasha blurted out.

Even though she and Percy had already broken up, at the end of the day, Jared was still her boss.

If anyone saw them together, they would just assume she was sleeping her way to the top.

“Not what?” Jared murmured, his lips right against her ear.

Natasha sucked in a sharp breath.

Her heart raced.

“I’m afraid people will notice… and start talking,” she said anxiously.

“If I’m not afraid of people thinking I’m sleeping with my employee, why should you be?” Jared asked.

He knew better than anyone that half the women in the office would kill for a chance to hook up with him.

Some of them would wear it like a badge of honor.

Jared thought, ‘Natasha actually finds it embarrassing? Is being associated with me really something she wants to avoid that badly?’

The thought left him inexplicably irritated.

Natasha pursed her lips. “You’re the boss, so of course, you aren’t worried. I’m just an assistant. Rumors alone could destroy my reputation.”

Natasha thought, ‘Even if we’ve reached this point because of him, what difference does it make?

‘No one would dare say a word against him. In the end, all the blame would fall on me.’

Jared frowned. “If anyone steps out of line, I’ll fire them.”

Natasha shot back, “Can you really fire everyone? And what about all the people gossiping about me behind my back? What can you do about them?

“If you really care about me, just let me go, okay? That way, maybe I can stick around a bit longer.”

If their relationship ever got out, the only thing left for her would be to hand in her resignation.

Jared stared at Natasha, his gaze deep and unreadable.

He hated the idea of Natasha being wronged, even for a second.

Deep down, Jared wanted to assure Natasha that he could protect her from anything.

Still, he respected her wishes; he would never force Natasha into something she did not want.

Jared loosened his hold slightly.

Natasha noticed his loosened grip and wiggled free from his embrace.

She quickly straightened her clothes and hurried out of the restroom.

But as soon as she stepped out, she ran right into Camilla.

Natasha thought, ‘So that was Camilla’s heels I’d heard earlier.

‘Thank goodness Jared let me go in time. If he hadn’t, Camilla would’ve caught me in a compromising position with him.’

“Natasha, there you are!” Camilla called out as soon as she saw her.

Natasha noticed Camilla hovering as if she had something to say. “What were you looking for me for?” Natasha asked. “Mr. Grosso was just looking all over for you,” Camilla said.

Natasha’s eyes widened a bit. “Mr. Grosso?”
