An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Be His Mistress

Chapter 302 Be His Mistress

Natasha’s chest tightened. She fought to suppress the storm of emotions surging inside her. “So what?” she replied coolly, acting like she didn’t care at all. But deep down, she was painfully hurt.

Jared had just talked about marrying her lately. He had been picking her up from work every day, playing the devoted boyfriend, and she almost fell for it.

It turned out she had thought too well of him. He was two-timing her, one foot still with her, and the other had long since stepped over to another woman.

A hint of cold sharpness and mockery appeared in Percy’s eyes. “I know you’re an illegitimate child who’s trying to climb. your way up by attaching to a man, just to prove yourself, make up for your inner inferiority, and enjoy what it feels like to be respected and looked up to for once.”

Natasha was stunned. ‘Is he talking about me? Or is he just projecting his own issues?’ she wondered. Since when have I ever felt inferior? And since when am I trying to climb my way up just because I’m an illegitimate child?

‘Since the beginning, he’s been the one who’s feeling inferior and trying to climb his way up by attaching himself to a wealthy heiress to boost his own image. Yet he actually thought it was me.’

“You…” Natasha barely got the word out before Percy cut her off.

“If that’s what you’re after, I can make it happen for you. You don’t need Jared for that,” Percy said, his voice dripping with mockery.

Natasha froze, not really sure what he meant.”What do you mean?” Natasha blurted, confused.

Percy cleared his throat, straightened up in front of her, and said, “You should know, I’m the Grosso family heir now. I’m not that illegitimate kid forced to stay out of sight anymore.”

Natasha blinked. “So?” she asked, her tone cool.

Percy raised his chin with a smug look. “I’m giving you a chance. Get close to me.

Natasha stared at him with disbelief. “A chance? You’re giving me a chance?”

‘He wants me to cozy up to him?’ she thought, her mind reeling. ‘How is that even a chance?’ she scoffed inwardly.

Percy acted as if he were reluctantly doing her a favor. “Yeah, I’ve got Joan now, but you’re still my ex-wife, and you were once mine. If you’re smart about it, maybe I’ll give you a spot by my side.”

He was basically hinting that she should cozy up to him, curry favor, and try to please him. For the sake of their past relationship as husband and wife, he would still keep a spot for her to be by his side.

Natasha couldn’t help but frown. ‘He’s talking as if I’m begging him for the opportunity. Where did he get the idea that I actually want to be with him? I honestly wish I could put a continent between us, she scoffed inwardly.

“Get lost!” Natasha’s voice cut through the air. She rebuked him without hesitation, her tone icy and commanding.

Percy’s eyes flashed with surprise. “What do you mean?” he snapped.

Natasha shot him a cold glare. “It means I’m just not into you. Not now, not ever.” With that, she shoved him out of her way and was about to walk off.

“Three million dollars!” Percy’s voice rang out behind her.

Natasha froze, a flicker of confusion crossing her face. ‘Three million dollars? What’s he talking about?’ she wondered.

“I’ll give you three million dollars a month if you become my mistress,” Percy looked at her and said each word slowly and deliberately.

Natasha stared at him in utter disbelief, thinking she had heard it wrong. ‘Percy actually wants me to be his mistress? And he’s even paying me for that?’ The thought hit her like a slap, her mind spinning.

Back when they were married, he went out of his way to avoid her. Even if she had offered him three million dollars, he wouldn’t have given her a damn. Back then, his eyes were only for Joelle. ‘Now that we’re divorced, he’s suddenly missing me?’ Natasha thought.

“Not a chance,” Natasha snapped, her voice icy with disdain, her rejection unmistakable.

Percy stepped right up to her and grabbed her hand “You’d better think twice about this. Do you really think Jared would ever pay you that much?”

Natasha felt a deep sense of disgust. He probably uue au Jared had never talked about money. But even if she said so, he wouldn’t believe it.

Chapter 302 Be His Mistress

In Percy’s eyes, her involvement with a man like Jared was about money. He believed she was only after Jared’s wealth/ as long as he offered the same amount, or more than Jared, she would agree to be his mistress.

“Don’t humiliate me with your money,” Natasha warned, her tone full of annoyance.

But Percy just dismissed her words, clearly unimpressed. He assumed she was using this opportunity to boost her worth Three million dollars not enough for you? How about six million dollars?” Percy sneered, his eyes full of contempt

Natasha was seriously speechless. ‘He’s really convinced I’m just after money, she thought. ‘Is he blind? How can he not see I want absolutely nothing to do with him?’ Natasha scoffed inwardly. But even if she spelled it out clearly for him, Percy wouldn’t buy it.

“60 million dollars. That should be enough,” Natasha said, lifting her chin defiantly.

‘He wants to put a price on me? Fine, I’ll throw out a number he can’t afford. Let’s see if he ever dares to bother me again Natasha thought, a hint of satisfaction flickering in her eyes.

Percy’s good-looking face twisted in disbelief. “What did you just say?”

Natasha arched an eyebrow, her voice laced with sarcasm. “60 million dollars. If you can cough up that much, I’ll be your mistress and let you have your way with me.”

Percy’s eyes revealed a hint of disgust. He couldn’t believe she had the nerve to throw out such a ridiculous amount. “60 million dollars? You really think someone like you, a divorced bastard, is worth that much?” Percy scoffed, his tone full of disdain.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford 60 million dollars. It was just that in his eyes, Natasha wasn’t even close to being worth

that amount.

“If you don’t think I’m worth it, then don’t pay,” Natasha shot back, hoping that by saying so, she could finally cut him out of her life for good.

Honestly, she felt that the best thing between her and Percy now was not to greet each other when they met and to treat each other like strangers. But for some reason, every time they ran into each other, he would stop her and make a bunch of snide, sarcastic remarks.

Today was even more outrageous; he actually proposed that she be his mistress. Percy didn’t try to stop her this time. He just watched Natasha stride away, a cold, predatory glint flashing in his eyes for a split second.
