An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Mistaken for His Girlfriend

Chapter 239 Mistaken for His Girlfriend

Percy spotted Natasha right away.

She was wearing a black bodycon gown, with a yellow coat casually draped over her shoulders.

Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, revealing her graceful swan-like neck.

She looked seductive yet innocent.

All the guys in the club couldn’t help but steal glances at her.

But Zayn was standing right next to her.

Even if some guy were interested in her and wanted to ask for her number, Zayn would always step in and stop them.

He was like Natasha’s knight in shining armor.

Natasha would turn to him now and then, flash him a smile, and chat with him.

Even though Percy was a bit far away and couldn’t hear what they were saying, it was obvious that Zayn Jackson was interested in Natasha.

He felt a wave of discomfort wash over him.

His hands clenched into fists without him even realizing it.

“Mr. Grosso?” The man chatting with Percy noticed he was lost in thought and called out to him.

He followed Percy’s gaze and recognized Zayn Jackson right away.

“Isn’t that Zayn? Mr. Jackson’s son?”

Percy ignored whatever the guy was saying and marched straight toward Natasha, his eyes locked on her.

He moved with a fierce, almost intimidating energy.

The man next to him figured Percy was heading over to say hi to Zayn Jackson, so he hurried after him.

“Natasha!”

Natasha had just finished discussing work with Zayn when she suddenly heard a voice she knew all too well.

She was caught off guard for a moment, then turned around with the others to see who it was.

And to her surprise, it was Percy.

“Why are you here?” Natasha asked, clearly surprised.

She never thought Percy would actually come over and greet her.

Back when they were married, even if they bumped into each other in public, Percy wouldn’t even acknowledge her.

But after their divorce, and Percy was the Grosso family heir, everything had changed.

Recently, she’d heard that a bunch of socialites were lining up to marry him,

Natasha figured that in a public place like this, Percy would want nothing to do with her.

She even figured he’d rather act like they didn’t even know each other and keep as much distance as possible.

But to her surprise, he actually came over and greeted her himself.

‘This is so out of the blue, Natasha thought.

Percy stared straight at her. “Just here for some business stuff. What about you?”

Natasha could instantly sense the hint of accusation in his tone.

It was as if he suspected she was hiding something from him.

But the thing was, they had nothing to do with each other anymore.

She didn’t owe him any explanation.

But with so many people around, she didn’t want to make Jared look bad.

She just went along with it and said, “I’m just here to socialize too.”

Percy glanced at Zayn, who was standing right

He was about to grill her about what was going

But Percy’s companion suddenly stepped forward and offered his hand to Zayn.

“Zayn, long time no see!”

Zayn looked at him, a bit puzzled. “Sorry, I don’t really remember you. Who are you?”

The guy kept smiling. “Guess you meet so many people, it’s hard to remember everyone. I brought gifts to your father’s place just before the New Year!”

He chatted with Zayn, all the while sizing up both Zayn and Natasha with curious glances.

“Is this your girlfriend?” he asked, pointing at Natasha.

Zayn couldn’t help but smile a little.

The guy jumped in right away, “Your girlfriend is stunning! You two look amazing together. Seriously, you’re like the perfect couple.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Percy’s expression turned stormy.

But the guy had his back to Percy and didn’t notice at all.

He was just about to keep laying it on thick.

Percy had already wrapped his arm around Natasha’s shoulders, pulling her close to his side.

“Mr. Strong, you’re really losing your touch! You can’t even recognize my wife. I’m seriously questioning your judgment. Maybe I need to rethink working with you,” Percy said, his voice cold and unyielding.

Percy spoke in a low, icy tone, showing no mercy.

His companion, Robbie Srong, was totally blindsided.

He needed a moment to realize that the stunning woman was actually Percy’s wife.

He immediately felt embarrassed.

He scrambled to apologize. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Grosso. This is all just a big misunderstanding! I swear, I never meant any disrespect to you or your wife…”

He kept trying to explain, but Percy completely ignored him.

Robbie was so stressed, it felt like his head was practically smoking.

He was kicking himself for ever buying into those rumors that Percy and his wife didn’t get along.

He didn’t expect Percy to care about his wife this much.

And now he’d made such a mess, there was no way to clean it up.

An awkward silence fell over the place.

Meanwhile, Dorothy couldn’t take it anymore.

“Seriously, Mr. Grosso, it’s just one comment. Cut him some slack. Back when your scandals were all over the news, Nat never stopped giving you chances,” Dorothy said, not bothering to hide her sarcasm.

She was purposely embarrassing Percy in front of everyone, making it impossible for him to back down gracefully.

But Natasha was worried her bestie might really tick Percy off with that comment.

After all, with Percy’s status, if he ever wanted to take revenge on Dorothy, it’d be like swatting a fly; way too easy.

“Dorothy, it’s getting late. Let’s get out of here,” Natasha said, trying to steer her friend away from the awkward situation.

The whole scene was just too awkward; it was better to make a quick exit before things got any worse.

“Okay!” Dorothy agreed right away.

She hated seeing Natasha caught in the middle like this.

Natasha and Dorothy walked ahead with everyone else, heading out together.

Zayn was about to follow them. But then Percy shot him a warning glare, which made Zayn stop in his tracks.

His expression froze.

He honestly had no clue that Natasha and Percy had any history.

“Zayn, let’s go,” Natasha called, turning back to him.
