An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281 She Runs Into Him

Chapter 281 She Runs Into Him

Natasha thought, ‘He’s actually willing to change for me?’

‘That’s got to be the most romantic confession ever.

‘After all, it’s not easy for a guy to change for a girl.

‘But…

“I don’t need you to.”

Natasha refused without hesitation.

“You don’t need to change for me!” she added.

It was not that he could really change anything, anyway.

Some things were destined from the start.

She felt that they were not right for each other.

There was never going to be anything between her and him.

Jared locked his gaze on her, silent and intense, for what felt like forever.

As soon as she said it, he got it, loud and clear.

Disappointment and heartbreak washed over him.

He forced himself to keep it together, so he wouldn’t end up hurting her.

“I’ll have the driver take you out of here soon,” Jared said, his voice low and steady.

When Natasha lifted her head again, Jared was already gone.

She’d turned him down again and again.

His male ego must’ve been bruised by her.

But she hadn’t meant to hurt him.

She could already see it, there was no future for her and Jared.

If they really ended up together, she wouldn’t be indifferent.

She’d start hoping, depending on him, and feeling her heart race.

But in the end, they’d still end up with nothing.

She’d end up hurt, disappointed, and heartbroken.

No hope meant no disappointment.

She didn’t want to fall for a man and end up giving away the rest of her life for him.

She’d married Percy and then divorced him.

It was as if she’d barely made it out alive.

But at least she still had the courage to pick herself up and start again.

But if she and Jared got together and then broke up, she might not be able to accept it.

She might not even have it in her to get back up again.

Natasha thought, ‘Love is such a complicated thing.

‘For guys, it’s a spark, here one moment, gone the next.

‘Once the feeling fades, walking away is no big deal for them.

‘But for women, the cost can be a lifetime of pain, and a wound that never really heals.’

Natasha thought she’d already weighed everything and had it all sorted out.

After she finished breakfast by herself, she left the villa and climbed into the fancy ride Jared had arranged for her.

She couldn’t help herself and started crying.

Tears slid down her cheeks.

Natasha was already keeping herself in check.

She didn’t dare cry too loudly.

Chapter 281 She Runs Into Him

After all, there was a driver in the car with her.

The driver worked for Jared.

She didn’t want anyone else to see her crying.

She especially didn’t want Jared to find out that it was him who made her cry.

Monday came around.

Nicolas wanted Natasha to go with him to the Wahl Golf Club for a business meeting.

As his executive assistant, Natasha couldn’t exactly say no.

The Wahl Golf Club was where all the rich and famous hung out.

It was located near the East Coast.

From private villas to exclusive harbors and world-class golf courses, everything here was the absolute best.

But it was strictly members-only.

And to join, one had to spend at least 3 million dollars there.

Natasha followed Nicolas onto one of the club’s golf carts.

The sun was shining bright today.

As far as the eye could see, there were vast stretches of lush green grass.

The golf cart stopped somewhere on the course.

They got out.

From afar, Natasha caught sight of a familiar figure.

The man was dressed in casual clothes, wearing a golf cap, standing out on the lush green fairway.

He tilted his body, swung his club, and nailed a perfect shot.

Under the sunlight, his profile was unbelievably handsome, radiating a cool, aristocratic vibe.

Natasha suddenly froze, her steps halting as if she’d been caught off guard.

She stared straight toward Jared’s direction, unable to look away.

It wasn’t until Nicolas called out to her that she finally came back to herself and hurried after him.

Jared’s brilliant finish in the final round had everyone on the course applauding.

He tucked his golf club away, chatting with his entourage as he strolled over toward them.

He spotted Natasha right away.

But he didn’t say hi or anything.

He didn’t look her in the eye like he used to.

He didn’t even give her a second look.

Honestly, Natasha couldn’t pretend she wasn’t a little bummed out.

But she was the one who turned him down.

She kept insisting they shouldn’t be together.

So she had no tight to feel upset about it now.

Natasha let out a sigh and looked away.

Jared and his entourage had already made their way over to them.

The group began greeting Nicolas.

Once they settled in, they started discussing business as they relaxed.

The client Nicolas wanted Natasha to meet was also among them.

Nicolas began talking with the client.

Natasha stuck close to them the whole time.

But she was obviously not all there.

Jared was a short distance away.

Chapter 281 She Runs Into Him

The sunlight fell across his face, making his chiseled features look even more cold and unapproachable.

Everyone around him was busy sucking up, trying to impress him.

But Jared acted like he didn’t care at all.

He gave off a cold, distant vibe that made people feel like he was impossible to approach.

Natasha noticed, even though she tried not to.

He didn’t so much as look her way the whole time.

It felt like he’d already let her go..

To him now, she was another face in the crowd, sumeone totally irrelevant.

Natasha thought, ‘Isn’t this what I wanted?

‘So why does it hurt so bad?’

A waiter came over to serve coffee.

Natasha, distracted by her own thoughts, absentmindedly knocked over her cup.

The coffee splashed onto her clothes.

“I’m so sorry!” the waiter blurted out.

Nicolas hurried over, concern written all over his face, to check on her.

She shook her head, trying to act unfazed. “It’s fine. I’ll head to the restroom.”

She went to the restroom, tidied up a bit, and came back wearing a fresh set of golf clothes.
