The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 404

The more Marcus thought about it, the more convinced he became. Frustrated, he tossed the documents onto the desk and got up to leave.

Just then, Ethan knocked and walked in, carefully placing the final document onto his desk.

"Mr. Holden, this is the last document awaiting your decision. After this, you can leave for Amberton with Mrs. Holden without any distractions."

Marcus looked up and shot Ethan a glare. "Why is Mrs. Holden not here yet?"

"I've called Noah, and he said they're almost here."

A sense of panic crept up on Ethan. He had asked Noah an hour ago, and that was what Noah told him.

An hour later, the response was still the same.

Every passing second without Natalie's appearance sent shivers down his spine.

"I don't care how you're going to do it, but I want to see Mrs. Holden here in five minutes," Marcus commanded coldly.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat. Still, he responded without a moment of hesitation.

"Okay, I'll call Mrs. Holden right away."

The moment Ethan stepped out of Marcus' office, he called Noah again.

"Noah, please. I'm begging you—just get Mrs. Holden here already!"

Ethan was practically in tears.

"We're here already." There was a trace of laughter in Noah's tone. "Just stepped through the entrance."

Ethan let out a breath of relief. He kept the call connected as he dashed to the elevator.

The elevator reached the first floor, and when the doors parted, Ethan's eyes landed on Natalie. She was carrying a cute bag, with Noah following her dutifully behind.

Noah had always worked in the background, appearing only when needed. But now, he walked behind Natalie in plain sight.

Ethan's joy was written all over his face. He hurried forward. "You're finally here, Mrs. Holden."

Natalie was confused. "Mrs. Holden? Me?" she thought.

"Mr. Holden is waiting for you in his office. Let me bring you there."

Ethan was grinning from ear to ear as he led the way. Every employee they passed greeted Natalie with a respectful smile, addressing her as "Mrs. Holden".

Although Natalie was perplexed, she smiled and returned the greetings. Once they were in the elevator, she asked, "Mr. Carter, why is everyone calling me 'Mrs. Holden?' Did Marcus ask them to?"

Ethan nodded. "You're right, Mrs. Holden. It was his instructions, and every employee in Holden Group knows about you."

Natalie was at a loss for words.

Marcus practically announced her identity to everyone, leaving her no room to back out.

She had his ring on her finger, and he still had doubts.

Natalie remained silent. Once the elevator reached the top floor, Ethan led the way with the same respectful demeanor and quickly escorted her to Marcus' office.

"Mrs. Holden is here."

"Alright, you may go," Macus said as his gaze lifted slightly. His chiseled features remained cold and unreadable.

"Yes, Mr. Holden."

Ethan and Noah then left the office, shutting the door behind them.

Natalie walked toward Marcus with the bag in her hand. The moment she reached his desk, Marcus rose to his feet, leaned over, and captured her lips in a kiss.

Natalie was caught off guard.

Seriously, who rushed into a kiss like this? Was he just flaunting his long legs and strong core?

Marcus didn't care what she thought. He kissed her over and over again before finally letting go, satisfied. He had missed her deeply.

"I brought you something to eat."

Natalie pulled out a chair and sat down, unpacking the small jars one by one. "Gorge made these for me. I figured I'd share the love."

"Okay."
