An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Give Him A Chance

Chapter 262 Give Him A Chance

Natasha looked like she was not interested in explaining.

She hadn’t planned to touch the 15 million dollars Percy had given her when they split.

But Jared had forced her hand.

“Do you really like him that much?” Jared glared at her, resentment flashing in his eyes.

“Yes,” Natasha could only nod.,

If she didn’t admit it, Jared would never approve her resignation.

Jared’s heart clenched painfully.

He balled his hands into fists at his sides.

It wasn’t even cold, but he felt as if he’d been dropped into a world of ice and snow.

The chill seeped from his limbs all the way to his heart.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then finally asked, “You really won’t break things off with him?”

Natasha hummed softly in response.

Her fingers curled into fists, her nails nearly cutting into her skin.

She didn’t want to lie to him.

But if she told the truth, it would drag them into another round of messy entanglement.

She decided to let it be.

This was the best outcome for them both.

Natasha pulled his hand away and turned her face aside.

The tension in the air was almost suffocating.

Jared’s handsome face looked especially pale.

But in the darkness of the room, you could barely notice.

Jared’s brows furrowed.

He fought to keep the surge of emotions in his chest from spilling out.

Melancholy seemed to wrap around him, his whole presence shadowed by sadness.

He’d put his whole heart out there for her, no holding back.

But she stomped all over it, shattering it without a second thought.

Not a single woman had ever hurt him this badly before.

Jared’s lips twisted into a hollow, desolate smile.

“Alright, I get it. Don’t regret this,” he said.

He bit back the ache in his chest, giving her one last, lingering look.

Then he let go of her, opened the door, and walked out.

Natasha watched him walk away, her gaze quivering.

Her limbs became stiff and cold.

Finally, she collapsed onto the floor.

She felt something wet on her face.

Natasha reached up, touched her cheek, and realized it was tears.

Natasha cried.

This was the outcome she’d been hoping for, so she wondered why she was crying.

Once she wrapped up the paperwork, she was.

Natasha’s gaze flickered, unable to hide her shock.

‘Already? That was fast, Natasha thought, feeling a little out of it.

She knew Jared must’ve pulled some strings to make this happen.

But this was exactly what she’d asked for.

She wondered why there was a tiny ache in her heart.

Natasha wrapped up her resignation in record time, not wasting a single second.

As she was packing up her things, Camilla rushed in.

“Joelle, what’s going on? Why are you suddenly quitting?” Camilla blurted out.

Yesterday, Natasha had been promoted to vice president, and Camilla had been so happy for her.

She never expected Natasha to quit so soon.

It was way too sudden.

Natasha was at a loss for words.

On the surface, she looked perfectly composed, but inside, she was a storm of tangled emotions.

“I didn’t feel like working anymore, so of course I resigned.”

She answered Camilla in a calm, almost detached tone.

Camilla couldn’t get it. “Are you for real? You finally make it to vice president and quit out of nowhere?”

Many people in this company would kill for that spot.

But Natasha walked away right after getting promoted.

Joelle took a deep breath and said, “I’m looking to grow my career somewhere else.”

Camilla’s eyes widened. “Somewhere else? Are you thinking of going back to Whittier Group?”

Before Natasha could reply, Camilla sighed, clearly envious. “Life’s so easy for an heiress like you. You can quit whenever you feel like it, and your family’s company will always have your back.”

Natasha looked uneasy.

She wasn’t the spoiled rich girl Camilla imagined.

Leaving this company didn’t mean she planned to go back to Whittier Group.

The complicated issues she had with the Whittier family were impossible to explain to anyone outside.

Natasha kept her head down, quietly gathering her little desk plant, some files, and a couple of photo frames.

She stuffed everything into a cardboard box.

“Keep at it. I’m outta here,” Natasha said as she left.

Once she was gone, Camilla would probably move up to Joelle’s assistant spot.

Camilla walked her out. “Natasha, let’s grab coffee sometime.”

Natasha gave her a smile, hugged the box to her chest, and stepped into the elevator, heading straight down to the underground parking lot.

On her way to her car, carrying the box in her arms, Natasha suddenly ran into Zayn Jackson.

He looked like he’d wrapped up something outside and was rushing back in.

He wasn’t paying attention and ended up bumping right into Natasha.

Natasha was totally blindsided and went down hard.

The box she was carrying went flying, and all her stuff scattered across the floor.

Her knee slammed into the ground, tearing the skin open.

Blood started to bead instantly.

“Sorry, I didn’t see you…” Zayn apologized quickly.

While apologizing, he scrambled to help her gather up her scattered things.

Natasha shook her head. “It’s okay…”

Zayn scooped up her things and handed the box back to her.

He caught a glimpse of her bleeding knee out of the corner of his eye.

Zayn looked even more guilty. “Sorry, I made you get hurt. Let me take you to the hospital.”

Natasha shook her head. “It’s a little injury. No need for the hospital.”

She tried to stand, but the pain in her knee nearly made her lose her balance and fall again.

“Careful!” Zayn called out.

He reached out in time to steady her.

Natasha found herself with half her body leaning into his arms.

Zayn’s hand wrapped around her slender waist.

The scene looked pretty suggestive.
