Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 

“Miss Natalie, is everything okay?” Reid glanced at Natalie through the rearview mirror, noting her expression seemed off. He spoke with a soft concern, breaking the silence of the car’s interior. 

It took a couple of calls of her name before Natalie snapped back to the present. 

Locking eyes with Reid in the mirror briefly, she replied softly after a pause, “I’m feeling a bit under the weather. I want to head back to Prestige Penthouses to rest. It’s quieter there.” 

“Sure,” Reid nodded, his response quickly and accommodating. 

Natalie hastily deleted the video Brian had sent to her phone and shoved the device back into her purse. Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her hand, which had touched the phone, was somehow tainted, and a wave of nausea threatened to overcome her. 

When she entered her home at Prestige Penthouses, she made a beeline for the sink and vigorously washed her hands with sanitizer. No matter how many times she scrubbed, her skin beginning to peel at the fingertips, she still felt unclean. 

It wasn’t until her phone, lying in her bag on the floor, buzzed that she snapped out of her trance. 

Natalie swabbed down her phone with an alcohol wipe, patiently waiting for the chemical to evaporate before answering the relentless calls. 

It was Remington on the other end, his voice low. “Azure, there’s an opportunity in the next few days. They’ll be at a street parade tomorrow and giving a public interview the day after. Can you handle it?” he asked. 

Silent for a few seconds, Natalie responded, “Yes, arrange a private jet for me. Direct flight to the destination to avoid leaving a trail.” 

Natalie had checked out of the hospital early as she needed to attend to an important matter. That would align perfectly with Remington’s request as well. 

After packing her things, she texted Reid. [I’m not feeling well. I want some quiet time. I’ll stay at Prestige Penthouses.] 

Unsuspecting, Reid texted back, [Okay, got it.] 

Natalie watched from the window as Reid left the building and got into his car. Turning away, she grabbed her suitcase and pressed the button for the sublevel, making her way through the underground parking to exit Prestige Penthouses from the other side. 

… 

At Sterlina Airport, Natalie sat atop her luggage, idly scrolling through the news on her phone while waiting for her ride.

Chapter 163 

The headlines first reported on the three politicians who had been attacked the day before, two dead on the scene, and the third declared brain dead that morning. Confirming her mission accomplished, she promptly texted Remington. [Task complete] 

With Remington, she had a reputation that no mission was ever left undone. 

[Good. Do you need a flight back home arranged?] Remington replied. 

[No need] Natalie texted back quickly before erasing Remington’s contact and returning to the news page.
