The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608

“Ah! Hey! Do you want to kill me with that thing?” With a shriek and a moan, Natalie spun around and saw Derek lying on the ground, clutching his belly.

“Why the hell are you here?” Surprised, Natalie put away the taser and squatted down to assist Derek. “I’m sorry.” “Hey, I asked you to come straight to her and greet her directly, but you said that you wanted to give her a surprise.” Wilder was also alarmed. He and Natalie helped Derek to a corner of the banquet hall.

Derek covered his belly and wailed, “My innards are in so much pain. Am I going to kick the bucket?”

Natalie also got anxious. “Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. My mini taser isn’t that powerful. Hang in there. I’ll call the doctor.”

“There’s no need. Just press it with your hand. That will do it.” Derek placed Natalie’s hand on his belly and continued to cry out in pain.

Staring at Derek with a poker face, Natalie arched her eyebrows and grinned. “Does it work? Allow me to give you a soothing massage then!”

She pinched Derek’s stomach firmly.

“Ouch! Natalie! You!” Derek was outraged but he didn’t dare to say anything. Realizing that his little trick had been uncovered, he composed himself and straightened out his suit. “Are you smelling a rat? You even brought a taser with you! If I had been snapped by my fans when I stumbled just now and it trended on the top search, you would be the one taking the heat!”

Sitting beside Derek, Natalie felt a bit guilty. “I thought someone was approaching me on purpose just now, so I defended myself subconsciously. I didn’t expect you to be here.”

Wilder stood in front of the two and said with a smile, “Don’t get him wrong, Mrs. Larson. Derek is here for the activity. Many film and television companies want to invite him to film his first TV series after he transformed to an actor from a model, so he had been socializing just now and hadn’t come to greet you.”

Derek glared at Wilder unhappily. He grabbed a strawberry from the table and popped it into his mouth. “It’s all because you’ve been pushing me to mingle with those female bosses. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to wait until now.”

Just a moment ago, Derek saw that Natalie was about to leave, so he came to her after dealing with those old biddies.

With a look of disappointment, Wilder pointed at Derek with his quivering hands and said, “You brat, don’t you know how good I am to you? You are on the verge of transforming your career, so you have to interact with more producers. They are all producers of hit domestic TV series. If you play ball with them, you can secure your reputation, which will be a feather in your cap in the future.”

“Why are you always yammering like an old crow?” Holding his chin, Derek began to bicker with Wilder.

However, Natalie was thinking about something else.

Derek must have seen her going at it with Kathie and wanted to help, but he was dragged away by Wilder all the time. Was this the root of her illusion that she had been under someone’s eye?

Natalie scanned the area again with raised eyebrows of suspicion. People were constantly entering and exiting the banquet hall. She did not know any of these people and did not recognize any of their faces.

No one else seemed suspicious as she looked around. She then thought she was probably imagining things since she was tired.

Natalie, who was feeling much better now, got to her feet and looked at Derek. “You continue to socialize. I will wait for my b*odyguard by the door.”
