The Year She Stopped Being Crazy for Him novel Chapter 343

Kyle looked flattered. "You're the boss's wife, it's my pleasure." He shot a grinning glance at Hassan, clearly teasing him.

Unlike most people who were terrified of Hassan, Kyle was remarkably relaxed. Beyond his technical prowess, it was obvious his relationship with Hassan was on a different level.

Hassan ignored the playful jab entirely. "Alright, the details are sorted. Get out."

Kyle laughed. "So ruthless. It's not every day I get to eat at The Springfall."

Natalie quickly interjected, "No, no, it's fine! Stay and eat before you go. This was supposed to be my treat anyway."

Hassan cast a sideways glance at her, not understanding why she was being so hospitable to a stranger when he was the one actually helping her.

Sensing the sudden drop in the room's atmospheric pressure, Kyle cleared his throat. "My AC at home is broken, and I don't want my cat to overheat. I should probably head back and get it fixed."

He rubbed his arms as if shaking off goosebumps and briskly left the room.

Deep down, he thought it was strange. Hassan didn't seem entirely devoid of feelings for his wife, contrary to all the rumors. The vibe between them actually felt pretty clingy.

Natalie frowned at the door. Kyle was already gone.

"Why did you make him leave? I was supposed to be treating him to lunch."

He turned his head to look at her, the corners of his thin lips curling up slightly, his gaze locking onto hers. "You're treating? Treating who? And who exactly found him for you?"

Natalie kept her expression blank. "Our deal was that I wouldn't spill Adrian's secret. Since I'm the one paying for this meal, it’s obviously meant for Kyle."

The entire room went dead silent for a second. His face darkened, his brow freezing over. "So what you're saying is, I'm not allowed to eat this meal?"

Natalie sighed. "...I'm not going to stop you if you want to eat. There's plenty of food."
