Chapter 217 Celebrating Jared’s Birthday Together

Jared was finally satisfied.

He pulled Natasha close, holding her tightly as they watched the movie together.

The room was dim, with only the glow from the screen lighting up the space.

For once, the atmosphere felt unexpectedly warm and peaceful.

At first, Natasha was a little unaccustomed to being held so closely by Jared and even thought about pulling away.

But it did not take long before she was drawn in by the plot, gradually immersing herself in the film’s story.

Natasha’s tense nerves slowly eased, and her body relaxed against Jared’s.

Time slipped by unnoticed.

Natasha’s eyelids grew heavy, and drowsiness slowly set in. She almost dozed off.

The movie was nearing its end when Natasha instinctively looked up at Jared, only to realize he had already fallen asleep.

Natasha called out tentatively, “Jared?”

Jared did not respond.

She glanced at the time.

It was just past six.

They had not even had dinner yet, and there had not been time for them to get intimate.

‘Jared’s already asleep?’ Natasha thought. ‘Is he really that exhausted?’

Natasha could not help but feel suspicious.

She carefully removed his hand from her waist, preparing to slip out of his arms.

But suddenly, Jared collapsed onto her, holding her tightly and pinning her down.

Natasha was completely trapped, unable to move at all.

‘If I pushed him away now, I’d surely wake him, she thought.

After thinking it over, Natasha finally decided to just let him lie on top of her.

‘Might as well let him sleep,’ she thought.

If she woke him up now, it would just make her look like she was the one who could not wait.

Just then, Jared’s phone started ringing.

Natasha was startled.

She quickly reached into Jared’s pocket and pulled out his phone, intending to decline the call.

But in her flustered state, Natasha accidentally pressed the answer button.

Derek’s voice came through the phone. “Mr. Rundell, about our factory abroad…”

Natasha immediately understood it was a work matter.

“Um, it’s me, Natasha…” she said, feeling awkward.

She had no choice but to answer.

Derek paused for a moment, seemingly stunned to hear Natasha’s voice answering the call.

“Natasha?” Derek asked in disbelief after a moment.

“Yeah, it’s me… Mr. Rundell’s asleep.”

“He’s asleep?” Derek said, clearly shocked.

‘It’s barely dinner time, and the boss is already knocked out?’ Derek wondered, feeling totally baffled. ‘And he’s passed out right next to Natasha?’

It was hard not to overthink the situation.

Natasha knew Derek was probably already letting his imagination run wild, but she also knew that explaining would only make things worse.

“I’ll have Mr. Rundell call you back when he wak

She left it at that.

Chapter 217 Celebrating Jared’s Birthday Together

Derek decided not to press further, not wanting to learn anything he should not.

He quickly made an excuse and hung up.

Looking at Jared as he slept, Natasha felt restless and a little lost.

‘Right now, it seems like Derek’s the only one who knows about my relationship with Jared, she thought.

She knew this hidden affair with Jared could not continue, but her body had already grown used to him, craving his touch.

If she tried to quit immediately, she would probably go through withdrawal.

She had to start keeping herself in check from now on.

She needed to slowly pull away from him, bit by bit.

Natasha slumped back on the couch, lost in thought, and before she knew it, she was asleep too.

When Jared opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Natasha sleeping soundly beside him.

Natasha’s eyes were closed, her head tilted slightly to one side.

Loose strands of hair fell across part of her face.

As Jared watched her, his gaze softened slightly.

‘Nothing feels better than having her this close, Jared thought to himself.

He leaned over and gently lifted Natasha into his arms.

Natasha stirred slightly at the movement but did not fully wake.

Instead, she instinctively relaxed again, comforted by Jared’s familiar presence, and drifted back into sleep.

Jared smiled softly as he watched how docile Natasha was.

When Natasha woke up the next morning, she found herself lying in Jared’s bed.

Scenes from last night flashed through her mind, and she jolted upright in bed.

‘I definitely fell asleep on the couch downstairs last night. So how did I wake up in his bed?

‘Did Jared really carry me up here? That’s probably what happened, she thought.

At that moment, the bedroom door opened, revealing Jared at the entrance.

“You’re awake. Come downstairs for breakfast,” he said.

There was no way Natasha could refuse him.

After all, she was starving.

But she was still wearing that piece of lingerie.

If she showed up in front of him like this, all exposed, Jared might think she was deliberately trying to tempt him. That would be a disaster.

“Um, could you maybe have someone bring me something else to wear?” Natasha asked, a little embarrassed.

After all, nothing actually happened between them last night, so technically, she should not ask him for this.

But honestly, she could not think of any other option.

“There’s stuff in the walk-in closet. Just pick something and change,” Jared said, sounding totally casual.

Natasha did not think much of it at first.

However, after she finished washing up and headed to the walk-in closet, she was stunned by what she saw.

Half of Jared’s walk-in closet was filled with women’s clothes.

There were outfits for all seasons, and every single item was in her size.

Natasha thought, ‘Did Jared actually customize half a wardrobe of women’s clothes just for me, all in my size?

‘It’s a little over the top. We’re just friends with benefits, not an actual couple. He doesn’t need to do this for me at all.’ Natasha quickly selected a professional suit dress and changed into it.

After that, she headed downstairs to the dining room.

Jared was already there, waiting for her.
