‘Who else but Jared?’ Natasha mused.

The waiter added, “That gentleman also said that from now on, whenever you come to eat, it’ll all be charged to his account.”/

Hearing this, Natasha was almost certain, it had to be Jared.

‘Who else but him would be this extravagant?’ she thought.

Percy seemed to sense something was off.

His expression hardened. “Who is this gentleman?”.

Percy thought, ‘Is he really inviting the woman I love to dinner right in front of me?

‘Does he think I’m dead or something?’

The waiter apologized, “Sorry, the gentleman prefers not to reveal his name.”

Percy immediately turned to her. “Is he the guy who’s after you?”

Natasha shrugged. “Maybe. But that’s not your concern.”

She got up and left.

They were done.

She didn’t have to explain herself to him about other men.

Percy scowled, his brows furrowed deep.

His gaze was icy, like a chill that could freeze the whole room.

Natasha had stepped out of the restaurant when a familiar luxury car pulled up in front of her.

“Ms. Whittier, please get in. Mr. Rundell is waiting for you,” the driver said.

Natasha instinctively glanced at the back seat.

To her surprise, Jared was nowhere to be seen.

She thought, ‘He’s not even here?

‘So he sent the driver to pick me up?’

Natasha hesitated for a moment, but eventually got into the luxury car.

She’d already told Jared she wanted to break things off, so there really shouldn’t be any reason for them to cross paths again.

But tonight, he’d unexpectedly treated her to dinner for no clear reason.

She still needed to confront Jared in person and get some answers.

The luxury car whisked her straight to a sleek skyscraper.

Natasha only realized where she was when she stepped out, it was the Rundell Group.

This was her first time walking into this towering building.

The Rundell Group had always been the top dog, almost like a myth in the business world.

This skyscraper was a landmark in the city’s CBD.

The driver opened her door and ushered her out.

Then he led her into a private elevator.

They rode up until they reached an office on one of the upper floors.

“Mr. Rundell is inside,” the driver said.

He gave her a respectful gesture to go in, then turned and walked away.

Natasha knocked on the door, her movements tentative.

“Come in.”

Jared’s familiar voice came from inside.

Successfully unlocked!

She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

To her surprise, the office was pitch black.

With only the faint moonlight streaming in from outside, Natasha could make out the opulent décor inside.

*Jared?” Natasha called hesitantly into the darkness.

She thought, ‘Didn’t the driver say he was inside?

‘Then why is it empty?’

Suddenly, a surge of force rushed toward her.

Before Natasha could react, she was pinned against the wall.

“Jared! What are you doing?” Natasha called out.

Feeling Jared’s breath so close, Natasha immediately started to struggle, shouting, “Jared. What are you doing?”

Jared held her tight, refusing to let go.

Instead, he pressed her firmly against the wall, making sure she couldn’t escape.

“So you’ve changed your mind?” Jared’s voice was low.

His deep voice was thick with jealousy.

Natasha froze for a moment, then suddenly realized, he must’ve seen her having dinner with Percy tonight.

That explained why he was so quick to pick up their tab.

He was clearly trying to provoke Percy.

“Jared, we’re done. I don’t have to explain myself to you anymore,” Natasha said, her voice steady.

Jared’s eyes darkened, a storm brewing within. “Break up? I never agreed to that.”

Natasha’s brows furrowed on instinct. “I don’t need your approval. I already made it clear it’s over, whether you like it or not.”

Jared pinned her even harder against the wall, his grip tightening with possessive force.

“Break up with me, but you still end up in my bed?” he growled, his tone laced with jealousy and accusation.

He bit down hard on her earlobe as he spat out the words.

Natasha hissed in pain, sucking in a sharp breath.

Embarrassed and angry, she reminded him, “I told you, that was the last time. I meant it.”

Jared’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his gaze burning with possessive intensity.

“Say that again?” he growled, his voice rough, refusing to accept it.

Natasha met his gaze head-on. “I said, that was the last…”

Before she could finish, Jared crashed his lips down on hers, cutting her off with a fierce, possessive kiss.

Natasha stared in shock, her eyes wide.

She instinctively tried to push him away.

But Jared’s chest was like solid steel, he didn’t move an inch.

No matter how hard she tried, he wouldn’t budge.

Instead, he grabbed her head, deepening the kiss, claiming her even more fiercely.

Furious, Natasha bit down on him.

She could taste blood almost instantly.

But Jared was like a man possessed.

He didn’t let go, instead, his kisses grew even rougher, more intense.

Natasha stopped struggling altogether. She didn’t fight back, didn’t resist, numb and exhausted.

She went limp in his arms, letting him kiss her as if she were nothing more than a lifeless doll.

Jared quickly sensed the change in her, and finally let her go.

“What am I going to do with you?”

There was a raw, defeated edge in his tone.

He wanted more, wanted to get closer to her, to take things further.

But he didn’t have the right, didn’t have the standing to claim her.

And if he really had to step back and let her go, he couldn’t bear the thought.

Harley had run into trouble recently.

Jared was suddenly put in charge, temporarily taking over the Rundell Group’s affairs.

He worked late every night.

But no matter how busy he got, he couldn’t stop thinking about Natasha.

He knew perfectly well what she meant before.

She wanted to set boundaries between them.

She wanted to end things once and for all.

But he couldn’t bear to let her go.
