The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 772

Intrigued, Brandon countered, “A wager, you say? What are the stakes?”

Natalie mulled it over for a moment before a devilish grin spread across her face.

“If you lose, you shall serve as my assistant for a day at my studio—no excuses! Lexi can take the day off, and you’ll fill in for her.” Upon hearing this, Lexi gasped and waved her hands frantically.

“No, no! How could Mr. Larson possibly be an assistant?”

To her astonishment, Brandon cheerfully accepted, “I have no issue with that. However, I do have one condition…”

He leaned in, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and whispered his demand into Natalie’s ear.

Natalie’s eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed crimson.

“What do you think? Can you handle it?”

Brandon teased, taking delight in her embarrassment.

Face aflame, Natalie glared at him and flatly refused, “No, I cannot!”

With a provocative tone, Brandon taunted, “Lacking the confidence to follow through? How can you expect to win this wager?”

Natalie hesitated but remained resolute.

He continued to goad her.

“As the CEO of Larson Group, I’m willing to serve as an assistant, yet you shy away from such a minor task. How can you call yourself an independent designer?”

“Fine, I accept!”

Natalie gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

Defeated by Brandon’s argument, she would be branded a coward if she didn’t comply.

Overcome with curiosity, Lexi quietly inquired, “Boss, what was Mr. Larson’s condition? I promise, your secret’s safe with me!”

Once again, Natalie’s cheeks reddened.

She pursed her lips and refused to indulge Lexi’s curiosity.

Upon seeing this, Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle.

Natalie shot him a withering glare at the sound of his laughter.

Noticing the hour, she swiftly wrapped up her work.

Lexi abandoned her line of questioning and gleefully departed.

Finally able to exhale, Natalie grasped Brandon’s hand and hurriedly ushered him out.

Her mind filled with thoughts of Brandon’s condition, she felt flustered and eager to escape the confines of the office.

Hand in hand, they exited the studio, bantering playfully.

As they emerged, Natalie spotted a man waiting at the door, and her brow furrowed in displeasure.

He caught sight of Natalie and immediately beamed, approaching her.

“Miss White, a pleasure to meet you.”

The unexpected presence of Clyde irked Natalie, but, ever the diplomat, she masked her distaste and inquired coolly, “Mr. Lambert, what brings you here?”

Clyde’s expression was tinged with guilt as he replied, “I’ve come to apologize for my thoughtlessness last time. My actions caused you to lose an order.”

Forcing a polite smile, Natalie responded, “Accidents happen, Mr. Lambert. Don’t dwell on it. If there’s nothing else, please take your leave.”

Clyde’s remorse seemed to deepen.

“Miss White, I know you’re upset. I’m here to offer a sincere apology.”
