An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347

Natasha stiffened.

She didn’t believe for a second that Sharon couldn’t see what was going on between her and Jared.

But Sharon had actually introduced Timothea as Jared’s fiancée right in front of her.

‘What is she trying to pull?’ Natasha wondered.

“Hello.” Timothea took the initiative to greet Natasha, right in front of Sharon.

Natasha gave her a once-over, sizing her up carefully.

Timothea wore a stylish designer dress and light makeup, making her look just like the sweet girl next door.

But under that gentle appearance, Natasha could sense a sharp, elusive toughness in her..

The fact that she could see Natasha and Jared were involved with each other, yet pretended to be clueless, said a lot about

her.

Natasha knew right then that Timothea was no pushover.

“Hello.” Natasha flashed her a friendly smile, playing the part perfectly.

Sharon’s gaze swept over both of them before finally settling on Natasha.

“You and Jared seem pretty close, huh?” Sharon said.

She didn’t bother asking Natasha what her relationship with Jared really was.

Some questions were pointless, and Sharon wasn’t going to lower herself to ask them.

“Yeah,” Natasha nodded.

She and Jared were boyfriend and girlfriend now, so of course, they were pretty close.

“Since that’s the case, you’re going to do me a favor,” Sharon said, taking charge.

It wasn’t a suggestion or a question.

It was an order.

“What kind of favor?” Natasha asked calmly.

Sharon glanced at her. “Go talk to Jared and convince him to put his wedding with Timothea on the agenda as soon as possible.”

Natasha was completely stunned.

She couldn’t believe Sharon actually wanted her to convince Jared to marry Timothea.

Timothea, standing off to the side, was just as shocked.

She thought Sharon brought her here so they could team up and interrogate Natasha for showing up in Jared’s place.

“Ms Rundell, you really overestimate me. My words don’t carry any weight with Jared. Why would he listen to me?” Natasha replied, politely but making her refusal clear.

Sharon scoffed, “If you can’t sway him, then honestly, nobody can convince my brother.”

That line made it crystal clear that Sharon knew exactly how important Natasha was to Jared.

But even knowing Natasha held that kind of weight with Jared, she still wanted her to go and persuade him.

It was obvious Sharon was trying to use Natasha’s relationship with Jared to get what she wanted.

Natasha had no intention of letting Sharof use her like that.

“Sorry, I’m not obligated to do this,” Natasha refused without a second thought.

She was Jared’s girlfriend now, after all.

Whether Sharon was genuinely clueless or just playing dumb, Natasha couldn’t possibly take the initiative to persuade Jared to marry another woman.

She wasn’t nearly that saintly, or that generous.

Sharon narrowed her eyes, a sly glint in them. “You don’t think Jared would ever marry anyone besides Timothea, do you?”

Her words practically told Natasha outright that Jared would never marry her.

Natasha’s gaze turned dark. “Who Jared chooses to marry is his own business. No one else gets a say in it.”

‘Even if Sharon is Jared’s own sister, it’s not her place to interfere in his marriage, Natasha thought.

Sharon stared hard at her. “You really think Jared’s marriage is that simple? It may look like he has a choice, but honestly, he doesn’t.”

Natasha had no idea what Sharon was getting at.

Sharon gave her a meaningful look. “Let me be real with you. Timothea comes from a seriously powerful family. If Jared wants to defeat our uncle Harley and take back control of the Rundell Group and the family, he has no choice but to marry Timothea.”

Natasha’s heart sank sharply, as if struck by a heavy blow

She truly hadn’t thought of that angle at all.

“Turns out, marrying Timothea can actually benefit Jared in such a way, Natasha mused.

“I’d advise you to face reality sooner rather than later.” Sharon shot Natasha a final glance, dropped that line, and walked out with Timothea.

After they left, Natasha sat on the couch by herself, just staring into space.

Her mind went completely blank. She couldn’t even hold onto a single thought.

A lump formed in her throat, leaving her feeling choked up.

She felt like crying, yet the tears just wouldn’t come.

I’ve known it all along, haven’t I?’ she thought to herself. ‘Jared and I were never meant to be. Just getting to this point is already a luxury.

Wanting to go deeper is just wishful thinking. All I can do now is to treasure every day we have together.

Natasha forced herself to take deep breaths, desperately trying to calm down and accept the truth.

Sat,

Just then, her phone chimed with a notification.

She unlocked it to take a look.

It was a message from Nicolas, a funny video.

When Natasha saw the video, it hit her that she still owed Nicolas for that dinner.

She quickly asked him how much that dinner had cost, planning to send him the money.

Nicolas replied, [No need, it’s my treat.]

Natasha insisted, [I really can’t accept that. Let me pay you back.]

‘After all, he’s already divorced from Joelle, and he’s not my boss anymore. I can’t owe him a meal, Natasha thought.

Nicolas replied, [If you feel bad about it, how about you treat me to dinner instead?]

Natasha wanted to turn him down.

But then she suddenly thought of something, so she changed her mind and agreed. [Sure.]

Nicolas was honestly surprised that Natasha agreed to have dinner with him right away.

He thought he’d have to press her for a while before she’d say yes.

When he saw her reply with just a “Sure,” his heart skipped a beat.

He couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement.

He jumped at the chance and quickly set up the time and place with her.

They met up at a newly opened restaurant.
