An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336

It was one of his men calling to report.

“Mr. Rundell, the guy finally talked,” his man reported.

“Who is it?” Jared’s brows knitted together.

“It was Joelle! The guy said Joelle was the one who told him to trick Natasha into going to the basement warehouse, then lock the door and shut off the lights,” his man reported.

Jared had already guessed as much.

“You know what to do, right?” Jared asked, his voice cold and menacing.

His man froze for a moment, then understood immediately.

“Got it.” he replied.

‘How dare Joelle harm the person I care about!’ Jared thought. ‘I’ll never let her get away with it!

That afternoon, Natasha lounged in her hospital bed with a book.

She’d hoped to get some real rest for a few days.

Suddenly, someone pushed open the door to her room.

Percy walked in.

Natasha instinctively turned her head at the sound of the door opening.

She thought it would be Jared.

But the moment she saw Percy, her eyes widened for a split second.

“What are you doing here?” Natasha asked, her brows knitting together.

A flicker of wariness flashed in her eyes.

He was the last person she wanted to see right now.

Yet unexpectedly, Percy had appeared before her again.

“I heard you were in the hospital, so I came to check on you,” Percy said, looking genuinely worried.

He also had people watching Natasha.

He was out of town for a meeting yesterday when he got word that something had happened to her.

He rushed back overnight, and now he was finally able to see her.

But instead of looking glad to see him, she regarded him with unspoken caution.

Percy couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.

“I’m fine, thanks,” Natasha replied, her tone cool and detached.

Not a single emotion flickered across her face.

She had no clue how Percy even knew she was here.

But whether she was in the hospital or not had nothing to do with him anymore.

She didn’t even feel like wasting her breath explaining anything to him.

Percy stared at her, his deep eyes never leaving her face.

She looked a lot better than before.

It seemed she was recovering well under hospital care.

Still… Percy felt a sour ache in his chest because he wasn’t the one who saved her last night.

“Aren’t you with Jared now? How could he leave you in such peril? What kind of boyfriend is he?” Percy asked.

Jealousy gnawed at Percy, and he seized the chance to criticize Jared.

“What kind of boyfriend he is has nothing to do with you.” Natasha shot back, her face frosted over.

She could tell Percy was trying to drive a wedge between her and Jared.

But she would not give him that chance.

She thought, ‘Whatever happens between Jared and me, it’s our business. It’s not Percy’s place to meddle, since he’s now my

Percy felt a sharp pang in his chest.

He never expected Natasha to snap at him for Jared.

Is Jared really that important to her now?’ Percy wondered, jealousy and bitterness swirling inside him, his expression souring.

He pursed his lips tightly and didn’t say a word for a while.

A dark cloud seemed to hang over him.

Natasha could sense the wave of displeasure coming from him.

But she didn’t feel she’d said anything out of line.

There are things we should’ve settled ages ago, she thought. ‘It’s just that Percy kept refusing to face it.

“If you have nothing else to say, just leave,” Natasha said coldly, making it clear she wanted him gone.

Percy looked at her in disbelief.

Since when did she become so cold and distant toward me?’ he thought. ‘She was so impatient, she couldn’t stand to spend even a second longer with me.

“Nat…” Percy called out, his voice low and hesitant.

Instead of leaving, he sat down by her bedside.

Do you really hate seeing me this much?” Percy asked, his voice tinged with hurt.

“Yes Natasha said, not even hesitating.

She didn’t try to deny it. She just admitted it outright.

She really didn’t want to see him at all.

“You!” Percy was left speechless, unable to find anything else to say.

He stared at Natasha, disbelief written all over his face.

A sudden, sharp ache twisted in his chest.

He couldn’t help but think, ‘She used to think of nothing but me, loving me with everything she had.

‘Since when has she been unable to stand having me in her sight?

I’d really screwed things up beyond repair, and I’d lost her.

“So it’s all because of Jared?” Percy pressed her, refusing to give up.

Natasha rubbed her temples, feeling that familiar headache creeping in.

She couldn’t hide the impatience in her eyes.

She thought. He knew I was still in the hospital, barely recovered.

‘Did he really have to chase me all the way to my hospital room and press me like this?”

“Yes.” Natasha replied, not even pausing.

Percy felt as if his heart had been seized and squeezed tight in someone’s grasp.

The pain was unbearable.

‘She’s really turning me down for another guy?’ Percy thought, stunned and bitter.
