The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Playing With Fire

“Master,” Samuel greeted, his expression stony as he gave Malcolm a curt nod.

Malcolm waved a hand at him. “Don’t look so cold later. Just look at that face of yours! You’ll scare off your junior!”

“My face has always looked this way.”

Malcolm narrowed his eyes and warned, “I’m not the only one who has a soft spot for your junior. Donna and the rest of the rest adore her as well. If you dare bully her, none of us will go easy on you.”

“I’m not interested in my junior in that way.” Samuel took a seat and poured himself a cup of tea. “If you’re thinking about setting me up with her, I advise you to give up early on,” he said impassively.

“Save the talk about giving up till you see her.”

“No need for that,” Samuel shot back without a second thought. The corners of his lips quirked upward as he continued, “It doesn’t matter if she has the beauty to overturn nations. I won’t have that sort of intent toward her.”

His confident statement was the first thing Natalie heard when she entered the room.

A shiver ran down her back when she caught sight of the man’s familiar profile. My senior is Samuel? This is too much of a coincidence. It’ll be a waste if I don’t use this opportunity to tease him!

Samuel’s unexpected appearance sparked Natalie’s playful side once she recovered from the initial surprise.

“Master, since my senior has no interest in me, why do you still insist on setting us up?”

Natalie’s eyebrows moved expressively as she spoke, and her lips curved into a half-smile as she approached the men. “It’s not like this senior is the only guy left on earth! I’m sure my other seniors are brilliant as well, and other masters are bound to have a few outstanding apprentices too.”

Malcolm’s expression shifted drastically upon hearing her declaration. He shot to his feet and began to console Natalie, “T-This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. Don’t take it to heart!” He was worried that Samuel’s words had hurt Natalie’s feelings.

After comforting Natalie, Malcolm turned to jab a finger in Samuel’s face as he berated, “That mouth of yours overshadows all the good in you! Your foolishness just ruined all of my hard work!”
