Chapter 341
“Someone’s coming, let me go!” Natasha reminded Jared anxiously.
“How about coming to my place tonight?” Jared seized the moment to ask.
His large hand kept caressing her, not letting up for a second.
Natasha couldn’t stop herself from trembling all over.
“You… I…” Natasha stammered, her voice shaky.
She was so anxious she could cry.
“Are you coming or not?” Jared pressed, not letting up.
Natasha, feeling helpless, could only nod and agree.
She was afraid Jared might cross the line and do something inappropriate to her in the restroom.
After all, someone was still knocking on the door outside now.
If anyone caught them, her name would be trashed.
Jared was finally satisfied.
He flashed a sly smile.
“I’ll be waiting for you in the car outside,” Jared whispered in her ear, then turned and left the restroom.
Natasha took a deep breath and tried to steady her nerves.
After a moment, she stepped out of the restroom, and there was already no one waiting outside.
Natasha made her way back to her table.
Zayn was just about to get up to look for her.
As soon as Dorothy saw her, she said, “Nat, are you okay? You were gone so long. I almost had Zayn go find you.”

Natasha glanced at Zayn, feeling a bit awkward as she explained, “I’m fine. I just had a bit of a stomachache, so I stayed in there a little longer.”
Dorothy immediately looked worried. “Stomachache? Did you eat something bad?”
Zayn chimed in, sounding anxious, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital to get checked out?”
Natasha hadn’t expected them to be so worried about her.
“No, really, it’s just… You know, that time of the month,” Natasha explained quickly.
She knew how awkward it was to use that excuse in front of Zayn.
But if she didn’t say it, they’d probably drag her to the hospital, and that would be even harder to explain.
Hearing that, Zayn curled his hand into a loose fist and cleared his throat.
I think I’ve had enough, so I’ll get going.” he said.

He knew sticking around would only make things more awkward for everyone.
So, he wisely excused himself and left first.
Dorothy made small talk with Zayn, then turned to Natasha.
“Nat, are you really on your period?” Dorothy asked, sounding skeptical.
She didn’t quite buy it.
She remembered that Natasha just had her period not too long ago.
“No, that’s not it!” Natasha finally admitted. “I actually bumped into Jared in the restroom just now.”
As soon as Dorothy heard Jared’s name, she immediately figured out what was going on.

“I actually saw Jared earlier, too. I was about to give you a heads up, but Zayn came over and sat down, cutting me off,” Dorothy explained.
She thought to herself, ‘I really should’ve reminded Natasha earlier.
Natasha nodded. “Mm.”
Dorothy couldn’t help but worry. “What’s wrong? Is Jared mad because he saw you and Zayn sharing a table?”
Natasha said, “I’ve already explained to him that we only bumped into Zayn by coincidence, not that we’d arranged to meet
him.”
Dorothy leaned in. “Do you think he bought it?”
Natasha nodded. “Yeah, I think he did.”
Dorothy let out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. Honestly, now that you’re dating Jared, and he’s not someone you want to mess with, better keep things smooth between you two.”
Natasha rubbed her forehead, a little exasperated. “It’s just a relationship, do we really have to make such a fuss about it?”
Dorothy gripped her hand. “Of course we do. I’m only saying this for your own good.”
They finished their meal soon after and called over a waiter to pay the bill as they were about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the waiter said, “Someone has already settled the bill for your table.”
Dorothy wasn’t surprised. “Was it someone with the last name Rundell?”
She had assumed it must be Jared.
But the waiter shook his head. “No, it was someone with the last name Milford.”
Natasha and Dorothy were both stunned.
Wait, Milford? Not Rundell? Could it be Nicolas who picked up the tab? But… I am not even that close to him, Natasha thought, confused.
Natasha and Dorothy walked out of the restaurant, still wondering about what had just happened.
A sleek sports car rolled up right in front of them.
“Hop in. I’ll give you a ride. Nicolas sat in the driver’s seat, raising an eyebrow at them.
