The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 18

Sebastian averted his gaze.

“I rented this car. It’s your first day at work. I wanted to pick you up in this car.”

“Renting a luxury car for even just one day must have been expensive. Sebastian, I know you did it out of kindness, but you don’t have to do this for me. We have to accept the reality and live our lives,”

Natalie stuttered.

She was not the biological daughter of the Quinn family — but a simple girl who was used to living in poverty.

The situation was embarrassing.

She had been working hard to save up money to pay for Hannah’s medical expenses and meet her daily needs.

Even though Sebastian didn’t spend her money, it still broke her heart to see him waste it on unnecessary luxuries.

On second thought, she realized it was perhaps difficult for Sebastian to change his habit because he was used to living a lavish life.She couldn’t push him too hard.

Natalie handed the wallet back to Sebastian.

“Forget it.” She grinned happily.

“Today is my first day at work.I should celebrate it.You better save the money for yourself.I think you would also need money.”

She had married Sebastian as Cassie’s substitute.

Natalie had already deceived him and felt it would be unreasonable to spend his money as well.

“Great!”

She stretched her body and sighed with contentment.

“I have never been in a luxurious Lamborghini before.”

Sebastian sat beside her and looked at his wallet. He remained silent all the way.

The woman was different than he had thought.

The next morning Natalie took a bus to the company.

The long commute had exhausted her.

She had to get up early to reach the company on time.

“The director asked you to go to his office.”

One of her colleagues nudged Natalie’s shoulder as she yawned.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Natalie hadn’t met the department director yet.

She had only heard that he was a talented designer.She entered the office and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate face.

“Mr.Lyman, what can I do for you?”

Ike Lyman stood in front of his desk.

The man was in his thirties with an average height.He turned around to look at Natalie.His eyes widened with amazement when he saw the woman in front of him.

“Nice to meet you.I’m Ike Lyman,” he greeted, stretching out his hand.

“I went on a business trip a few days ago and just came back today.Welcome to the design department.”

“Thank you, Mr.Lyman.”

Natalie smiled and let go of his hand after shaking it.

Yesterday, a colleague complained that Ike was a harsh man.

However, he seemed kind and affable toward Natalie.

Perhaps he was yet to show his other side.

“If you have any doubts or problems regarding your work, you can always approach me.I’m in charge of all the design projects of our company.”

Ike narrowed his eyes and studied Natalie’s face.

The greediness in his eyes made Natalie squirm.It felt as if he was picturing her naked.

“Okay.”

Natalie left calmly, but her skin prickled with goosebumps as she stepped out of his office.

Natalie’s stomach flipped with unease as she recalled how Ike looked at her.

By the time she got home from work, it was already dark.

The commute took most of her time, and Natalie felt drained and exhausted.
