The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 61

Natalie put her phone down as her stomach clenched with unease.

‘Why would a CEO worry so much about the work of an ordinary employee like me?’

They only chatted online. Therefore, Natalie couldn’t conclude that he had an ulterior motive.

She wanted to figure out what Brandon wanted from her.

“What’s up? You’re always on the phone. Who have you been texting all day? You said you don’t have a boyfriend. Then, who is it?” Natalie’s colleague, Gerda, turned around and winked at her.

“Not my boyfriend.” She couldn’t tell who she was texting.

After all, it was the CEO, and people might gossip about it.

Natalie propped her chin on her palm and thought for a while.

“Mr. Larson seems like an excellent man. He must be married, right?” she asked, hoping for her friend to say yes.

“I don’t know. Maybe he has a girlfriend. But who cares? Wealthy people like him will have several girlfriends and mistresses at the same time. We should never probe into their personal lives.” Gerda elbowed Natalie and arched an eyebrow. “By the way, since when did you start gossiping?”

Gerda felt that Natalie was a quiet person who never gossiped about anyone. So she was surprised to see her ask questions about their CEO’s personal life.

Natalie forced a smile and shrugged. However, the worry on her face didn’t fade away.

Seacisco had extreme climatic conditions. It had scorching hot summers and cold winters.

The fruit store near their apartment sold iced watermelon juice. The refreshing scent of the fruit wafted in the air.

Natalie bought two cups of juice and went home.

She was still thinking about Brandon’s messages.

As Natalie walked into the house in a daze, she saw Sebastian standing on the balcony, picking up dried clothes from the line. His hair swayed with the gentle breeze, and a few strands covered his bright eyes.

“What’s wrong? You look preoccupied.” Sebastian sat on the sofa and put the pile of clothes beside him. His droopy eyes made him look indifferent and lazy. His magnetic voice snapped Natalie out of her thoughts.

A pang of guilt settled in her heart when she met his gaze.

Natalie felt she had to tell him the truth. After all, she didn’t do anything wrong.

“I’ve been thinking about my company’s CEO, Brandon Larson.” Natalie’s brows furrowed as if it were something important.

Sebastian picked up a cup of watermelon juice from the table, inserted the straw into it, and brought it to Natalie’s mouth, “What?”

After taking a sip of the juice, Natalie turned her phone on and showed Sebastian the conversation between her and Brandon.

“I think he is being too nice to me. It doesn’t look like a professional conversation at all. That’s not how a CEO talks to his employees.”

Sebastian drank the juice whilst reading the conversation. He scrolled down the screen and read the messages.

Although Sebastian had sent all the messages, he had to read the conversation. Otherwise, Natalie would doubt him.

He was glad that Natalie had told him the truth.

Sebastian felt she was a righteous woman and a good wife who would never cheat on him with a wealthy man for personal gains.

“Well, it seems normal to me. Why don’t you just accept what he has given you? Brandon is an influential person. I’m sure he’ll be able to help you in case you encounter any problems.”

Sebastian leaned back on the sofa, and his hair rubbed against Natalie’s neck. “Honey, you smell so good.”
