An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331

it was not like Natasha was against Jared’s plans.

She just didn’t want to rely on Jared too much.

Even after she’d said yes to being his girlfriend, she still wanted to stay true to herself.

She didn’t want to be someone tagging along with Jared.

Natasha had breakfast alone.

Jared sent his chauffeur to pick her up.

Just as she settled into the car, Jared texted her.

[Something urgent popped up at Rundell Group. I have to rush over and take care of it. Sorry, I can’t drive you myself this morning.]

Natasha was never the kind of girl to be petty about things.

He’d said there was an emergency at Rundell Group, so as his girlfriend, she knew better than to hold it against him.

Natasha: [It’s fine. Work comes first.]

Jared: [You’re so sweet. I’ll reward you when I get home tonight.]

Natasha did reply.

She couldn’t help but feel like Jared’s “reward” tonight was anything but innocent.

She was still sore all over from last night..

‘Seriously? He wants to go again tonight? Does he even care if I get any rest? This guy has no self-control, Natasha thought to herself.

Even though Natasha managed to get up on time, she was still exhausted from Jared keeping her up all night.

When she finally got to Whittier Group, she ended up being late anyway.

It was only five minutes late, but with Alfred, she knew he’d never let her off the hook.

Natasha was already bracing herself for Alfred to jump at the chance to lecture her, then for Joelle to rat her out to her dad, and finally for Bernard to give her a hard time.

But when she got to the warehouse department, she was told that Alfred had been fired.

Natasha was confused.

She thought, ‘Did I hear that right?’

Mr. Tario got fired? Seriously?’

Just yesterday. Alfred had taken Joelle’s side, chewed Natasha out, and even punished her.

He’d been so eager to please Joelle, so logically, Joelle should’ve had his back.

Sat,

Chapter 331

Joelle might even use Alfred to make things harder for Natasha in the future.

With a pawn that useful, why wouldn’t Joelle keep Alfred around?

So why would she stand by and let her dad fire Alfred?

Natasha wondered, ‘Could this have something to do with Jared?’

After all, yesterday Alfred was so eager to please Joelle that he not only tore into Natasha, but even badmouthed Jared while

he was at it.

If Jared had made a move, the whole thing would make perfect sense.

Natasha hesitated for a while, but in the end, she decided to text Jared and get to the bottom of it herself.

She picked up her phone, opened her chat with Jared, and kept typing, erasing, and retyping, struggling to find the right words.

Nothing she typed felt right.

After a lot of effort, she finally managed to piece together a message, but kept editing and deleting it again and again.

But to her surprise, Jared somehow sensed she was about to text him.

Jared suddenly texted her: [What’s up?]

Natasha paused, surprised.

She thought, ‘How did he know I was about to text him?

‘Unless he’s got some kind of psychic powers or something.

‘Or maybe he’s watching our chat like a hawk right now.

‘What a coincidence.

‘Is he about to text me at the same moment I am about to text him?’

Natasha bit her lip and asked: [Alfred got fired today. Was that your doing?]

Jared didn’t bother to hide it.

He simply replied: [Yes.]

‘So it was Jared. Figures, Natasha thought.

Natasha was about to press for more answers.

But Margaret walked over. “Natasha, you’ve been called to the chairman’s office.”

Natasha blinked in surprise, thinking. ‘My dad wants to see me?

Did he already hear I was late this morning?

Is Bernard calling me in just to lecture me?”

Got it, thanks, Natasha said with a polite smile to Margaret.

But Margaret shot her an eye-roll, clearly unimpressed.

“Wow, didn’t know you had that kind of pull. Mr. Tario just gave you a hard time yesterday, and now he’s out the door.” Margaret snarked.

Natasha started to say something, wanting to explain herself.

But in the end, she let the words die on her lips and stayed quiet.

Margaret got a point.

Alfred was fired because of her.

She had nothing to say in her own defense.

Seeing Natasha clam up, Margaret rolled her eyes, looking even more unimpressed.

“Here’s a tip. If you’ve got connections, why not get yourself transferred out of the warehouse? No need to keep up the act Margaret sneered.

She absolutely hated nepotism hires like Natasha.

They’d waltz into her department, acting like they were actually putting in the work.

But at the end of the day, it was all riding on their family’s coattails.

Natasha met Margaret’s gaze. “Whether you believe it or not, I’m honestly here to work.”

Margaret gave her a dismissive smirk, clearly amused.

Maybe she would’ve believed that before.

But after seeing Alfred tear into Natasha yesterday and then get fired this morning, there was no way Margaret’d buy it now.

People like Natasha, nepotism hires, always said one thing and did another. All that talk about working hard was just a front.

Margaret didn’t even waste another word on her and just turned around, walking off without a second glance.

Natasha headed to the chairman’s office by herself.

This time, Bernard looked at her with a complicated expression.

“I heard you’re dating Jared now?” he asked.

Bernard gave Natasha a once-over, his face full of disbelief.

He never would’ve thought Natasha, his own daughter, would actually catch Jared’s eye.

And now, she’d actually ended up as Jared’s girlfriend.
