Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 

“You can never be too sure.” Sadie shrugged, her volce low and confessional. “Mr. Smith has a love child from a fling he had years ago.” 

That was treading into the murky waters of personal secrets. Natalie caught the hint and didn’t prod any further. 

“Anything else you wanna know, Natalie?” Sadle couldn’t help but ask, her curiosity piqued. 

“No, that’s all. Go get some rest, it’s way past midnight,” Natalie replied softly. 

Sadie found it odd that Natalie didn’t inquire about how Nate had been doing these past few years, but then again, considering the bad blood between Brian and Natalle, maybe it was best not to stir up sad memories. 

After one last glance at Natalie, Sadie turned and left the room without another word. 

Once alone, Natalie’s gaze lingered on the envelope stuffed with photos before a flicker of malice crossed her eyes. She grabbed her purse, which Sadie had brought up earller, and rummaged through it to find a compact mirror. Sliding the mirror aside, she retrieved a tiny SIM card hidden within. 

She charged her phone, powered it up, and inserted the secret SIM card. The contacts list held only a handful of numbers. Natalie dialed one and waited patiently for an answer. 

“Yeah?” A groggy voice answered after several seconds. 

“It’s me,” Natalie said, her voice even. 

“Great, at 2:30 in the morning! If it wasn’t you, I’d have torn anyone else a new one!” The man on the other end was irritated. 

“You sound a bit cranky, Caleb,” Natalie chuckled lightly. 

“I haven’t slept for like three days, so spit it out!” Caleb barked. 

“What’s got you so busy? You’re usually the king of slackers,” Natalie teased… 

“Why the hell do you care so damn much?!” Caleb, trying not to wake up the woman next to him. rolled out of bed and stepped onto the balcony. 

After sliding the balcony door shut, he couldn’t resist muttering. “Women, such a pain in the 

ass!” 

Caleb was a typical playboy, born into a family that hadn’t worried about money for generations. He had a reputation for never dating the same woman twice in a year. 

Natalie had first crossed paths with Caleb while on a Regal Reavers mission at the base, catching him in the act of flirting with a gorgeous journalist. 

But from his tone, it sounded like some formidable woman had finally gotten the best of him.

“Actually, there is a bit of trouble, and I need your help.” Natalle admitted with a smile,
