Seeing that, Archie explained, "Felix Bissel, second son of Ein Bissel, and his only bastard son. Because he's not accepted by the elders of the family, he spends most of his time overseas and it's not uncommon for him to stay away from the country for up to three to five years at a time. He met you this one time he came back. Isn't that quite the coincidence?"
Natalia shook again.
She was in a bit of a daze, and it took her a while to digest what Archie had just told her.
"You said... he's a Bissel?"
Archie cocked an eyebrow. "Yes."
Natalia clenched her knuckles.
Archie continued, "So what did he tell you last night?"
Natalia looked at him, lips moving without making a noise.
She didn't know how to explain to Archie her relationship with Felix. She didn't want to bring up those past days and memories, but she didn't want to lie to him!
Natalia was struggling, while Archie knew her too well. Just from her eyes, he understood what was going through her mind.
"You knew each other from before?"
Natalia thought over it for a long while before nodding.
"Yes."
"How?"
Natalia didn't speak.
Not that she didn't want to, but that she didn't know how to.
Those memories were too chaotic. Even she wasn't sure. If she spoke about it, it would only be more suspicious.
And there was a secret in them too...
Natalia remained silent. Archie waited for a while, his deep eyes slowly cooling.
"It's all right. I respect your privacy. Any time you want to tell me, you can tell me then."
As he spoke, he got up. His attitude wasn't forceful and his bearing was as mild as always, but Natalia could still hear that he was a bit angry.
After Archie left, Natalia went to the office herself.
Star Entertainment released a statement representing her, claiming that it had only been a joke with a friend she'd met by coincidence, and definitely not cheating!
She was married now. Forget Archie, with news like this, it wasn't good for her image.
Thankfully, it seemed like Felix had only wanted to warn her and didn't mean to drive her into a corner, so the moment the statement came up, Felix's account also released a statement claiming it was just a joke and not to take it seriously, and that they were good friends.
Felix's account, of course, didn't have too many fans, and not too many people followed him.
But with how hot this piece of news was, the moment he released the statement, a lot of people reposted it.
So the incident died down.
Afterwards, Natalia gave Felix a call and gave him a tongue-lashing over the phone.
Felix didn't get mad and kept on laughing leisurely, sometimes even rebuking himself in her place.
Natalia couldn't even lose her temper at him right.
Finally, the man said coldly through the phone, "Still remember what I taught you years ago? Be a good girl. Disobedience comes with a price. You don't want everything you have now to be ruined, do you, little Seven?"
Natalia massaged her migraine and snarled, "What is it that you want?"
Felix chuckled dryly. "I wouldn't dare tell the truth if you take that kind of time, would I?"
Floundering, Natalia gritted her teeth and forced her rage down as she softened her voice. "All right, then, cards on the table, what do you want?"
"I want you. Do you want me?"
