The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505

She had misunderstood him, just as he had said.

Feeling sorry, she considered going over to apologize. At that same moment, Derek turned around, and their eyes coincidentally met. When he saw the apologetic look on her face, he just smiled faintly and carried on with his work.

Natalie heaved a helpless sigh.

“Miss, do you still want this tie?” a shop assistant asked. Natalie nodded. “Please wrap it up.”

As she waited for the payment to be processed, she received a message from Brandon, asking who had brought her breakfast.

Natalie pondered for a while. In the end, she told him that the waiter had made a mistake, and that the matter had already been solved. She had misjudged Derek just now, so she didn’t want to say anything more that might add to her transgressions against the poor man.

Natalie stayed at the mall until noon. She was just about to take a taxi back to the hotel when she ran into Derek again.

Derek had been sitting in his van all this time, having finished his part of the shoot. When he saw Natalie walking out the mall in the distance, he scrambled out of the vehicle and ran to greet her.

“We meet again, Natalie,” he greeted as he walked up to her.

The sun was bright and hot at this time of the day, so they took care to stand in a nearby shade. “Are you on your way back to the hotel?” Derek asked. “Do you think you can give me a ride?”

“Where is your van? Did your manager leave you again to have dinner with other models?” Natalie said flatly. “Call him and tell him to come pick you up.”

She’d rather not talk to Derek if she could avoid it. So, she lowered her head and looked at her cell phone.

As he squatted in the shades, Derek looked up at her and asked, “Are you still angry? Although you misunderstood me, I forgave you and didn’t ask you to apologize. How could you still be so upset with me?”

Derek sighed after a while, pretending to sad. “Wilder just scolded me. Now I’m not even allowed to ride in the van. I’ll have to walk back to the hotel. Oh, by the way, Wilder is my manager. He gave me an ultimatum. If I do something like this again, he won’t give me work anymore.”

Natalie didn’t put down her phone until that point. She licked the corner of her dry lips and locked her gaze on Derek. “I’m sorry for what happened in the shop just now,” she said sincerely.

“Even if you apologize to me a hundred times, I still can’t go back to the hotel. Wilder has driven away with my phone in the van. What do I do now?” Derek sighed, but his eyes were remarkably bright and astute.

Natalie was unsure. It was difficult to tell if Derek was telling the truth. Despite the fact that they had only known each other for a few days, she was well aware that she was inferior to him when it came to scheming.

A taxi pulled up in front of Natalie at this point. “Miss, is it you who called a taxi online?” the driver asked as he rolled down the window.

Natalie looked at the taxi’s license plate. It was the one she had called. She hesitated before getting into the taxi and turned to look at Derek.

Derek saw the hesitation in Natalie’s eyes.

He grabbed that opportunity. He quickly got to his feet and took door and drew her into the car. “Don’t keep the driver waiting for too long. We’ll go to the Intercontinental Hotel, please.”

“I didn’t ask you to ride with me,” said Natalie, sulking in the cab.

She turned her face away from Derek.

Derek shrugged and leaned against the back seat. He raised the corners of his mouth, looking a bit roguish. “But I’m already in the car. You can’t ask me to get out of a moving vehicle, can you?”

Natalie was rendered speechless. Of course she wouldn’t do that. She just didn’t want to give him a ride because she was afraid he’d have other ideas.

Derek’s gaze was drawn to the shopping bags at Natalie’s feet. exquisite packing box inside.

Derek remembered that he saw Natalie in the mall where she was carefully someone?” he asked in a curious tone
