An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342

Is all my attention on Jared right now?’ Natasha couldn’t help but question herself.

‘I don’t think so, she mused.

Just as she was hesitating, a sharp honk suddenly cut through the air.

Nicolas, who was driving, slammed on the brakes.

Natasha and Dorothy were caught off guard.

Their bodies lurched forward.

Thankfully, their seatbelts held them back, so they were safe.

Once Natasha had settled back into her seat, she looked up.

Right in front of their sports car, another luxury vehicle had somehow appeared out of nowhere.

The car had its high beams on.

The blinding light almost made it impossible for them to keep their eyes open.

“What’s going on?” Dorothy asked, sounding both shocked and confused.

Natasha shook her head, showing she was just as clueless.

Nicolas stared at the luxury car as its headlights dimmed to a close, his expression tangled with unreadable emotion.

He seemed to sense what was about to happen.

Before long, a tall, imposing figure stepped out of the luxury car.

It was Jared.

Dorothy let out a startled cry when she saw him.

Natasha looked completely stunned.

‘How did he even find us here? Did he have his driver pull up to block Nicolas’s car?’ Natasha wondered.

Nicolas muttered a curse under his breath.

He kicked himself for not stepping on the gas earlier.

He had still ended up being caught by Jared.

“Jared, not trusting me to send her home safely?” Nicolas asked with a faint, knowing smile as he watched Jared walk over

Jared ignored him completely and walked right to the back seat.

“Get out,” Jared said, his sharp, piercing gaze locked onto Natasha, his voice magnetic, brooking no refusal.

Natasha instinctively trembled.

She never imagined Jared would chase after her.

She’d lied to him earlier, telling him she was heading home alone.

Now, her lie was laid bare before him.

Natasha lowered her gaze, feeling guilty, unable to meet his eyes.

“Nat, why don’t you go with Mr. Rundell?” Dorothy, seeing things were getting awkward, took the initiative to nudge her.

Natasha bit her lip and had no choice but to nod.

With Jared showing up like this, she really didn’t have any excuse not to go with him.

Her hand moved toward the door handle.

Just as she was about to push the door open, Jared opened it from the outside.

Before Natasha could react, Jared tightened his grip around her wrist and pulled her out of the car.

Nicolas knew there was no way he could stop Jared.

But since he was the one who had asked Natasha to get in his car, he couldn’t just stand by and watch Jared lose it.

He immediately pushed open the driver’s door and got out.

He hurried after them and gave Jared a pat on the shoulder.

“Jared, don’t be mad. I was the one who asked her to get in my car,” Nicolas said, taking the blame himself, worried Jared might give Natasha a hard time.

Jared slowed to a stop at Nicolas’s words.

He turned and shot Nicolas a warning glare.

Then, without another word, he bent down, swept Natasha up into his arms, and strode toward his luxury car.

He first set Natasha down inside his car.

Then he slammed the door shut and shot Nicolas a cold, hard glare.

Nicolas had just walked over, meeting his gaze without flinching.

Jared grabbed him by the collar, his voice sharp and icy. “You can play around with plenty of women, but Natasha’s not one of them. Stay away from her.”

Nicolas flashed a cocky grin. “Jared, this is the first time you’ve ever told me to back off because of a girl.”

They’d been best friends since childhood, and now they were actually about to turn against each other over a girl.

Jared announced with unmistakable dominance, “She’s mine.”

Nicolas let out a low, almost teasing sigh. “So you’re not even gonna give me the chance to compete for her, huh?”

Jared shot him a cold, narrowed look. “It’s not about chances. You’ve already lost.”

Nicolas felt a deep shock ripple through him.

His eyes widened in shock.

Even after Jared got in his car and drove away. Nicolas couldn’t shake those words from his mind.

Tve already lost?’ Nicolas wondered. ‘Is it just because Natasha is Jared’s girlfriend now?

‘But she is just his girlfriend, not his wife. Even if she’s married, I can still find a way to steal her away.

Nicolas was shocked by just how intense his possessiveness for Natasha had become.

When did I get so obsessed with her? Why didn’t I try to win her over back when she worked for me?’ Nicolas thought to himself, filled with deep regret at that moment.

Natasha sat silently in the car, saying nothing.

She knew Jared was definitely mad because she’d lied to him.

But she hadn’t meant to deceive him.

Nicolas picking up the tab for them had totally caught her off guard.

She needed to figure out a way to pay him back.

After all, she didn’t want to owe him a favor.

The car quickly pulled up in front of Jared’s villa.

He got out and led Natasha out with him.

This time, he didn’t carry her.

He just let her walk by herself.

But after just a few steps, he noticed something was off with Natasha.

Jared glanced down at her feet and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Natasha gave a wry smile. “I think I twisted my ankle.”

Earlier, when Jared yanked her out of Nicolas’s sports car, he’d been way too rough, and he’d moved so fast.

Natasha was totally caught off guard.

Jared walked quickly back to her.

His tall frame crouched down right in front of her.

His deep eyes fixed on her swollen ankle, and his brows knitted together unconsciously.

His slender fingers reached out to touch it.

Natasha hissed in pain, sucking in a sharp breath.

“It hurts! Don’t touch it!” she blurted out.

Jared’s eyes softened with distress. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
