Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 245

Nathan walked forward with a confident stride, hands tucked in his pockets and his head held high. Behind him, Nathalie followed, her head slightly bowed. Despite their differences—Nathan tall and commanding, Nathalie petite and sweet—they made an unexpectedly harmonious pair.

Nathan soon noticed Nathalie falling behind and paused to wait. Seeing this, Nathalie quickened her pace to catch up.

"Sorry about that. My legs are just too short to keep up," she admitted, a bit flustered by her slower pace.

Nathan glanced down at her, noticing the heavy laptop bag weighing on her shoulder. "Hand over the bag," he instructed.

"But I can't do that. I'm the assistant, and you're the CEO. If you're seen carrying the bag instead of me, people will talk," Nathalie protested.

Ignoring her objection, Nathan took the bag and slung it over his shoulder. With a playful grin, he teased, "You're practically the same height as the bag. Is it carrying you or the other way around?"

Nathalie stood there, momentarily speechless, almost losing her composure. Nathan was quite amused by her expression, and chuckled softly.

This time, he didn’t march ahead, leaving Nathalie to trail behind. Instead, he walked alongside her.

They arrived at a suite Nathan had booked in advance. Inside, a round marble table was set with a spread of exquisite dishes, candles, and blooming flowers, casting a warm and romantic glow. It felt more like a dinner date than a business meeting setup.

The guests had yet to arrive, prompting Nathalie to glance at Nathan with a hint of concern. "Nathan, these bellflowers and lavender have pretty specific meanings. They might not be the best choice for a negotiation setting," she pointed out.
