Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 

Madelyn hadn’t expected to bump into Natalie in this place. A flicker of surprise crossed her face as their eyes met. 

“I’m gonna head out,” Natalie said to Madelyn, with no desire to question her unexpected presence. She whispered to Brian and hurried away without looking back. 

It was only when Brian let go that Natalie realized her back was soaked with cold sweat. The chill of the late September night breeze hit her, making her shiver uncontrollably. 

From behind, the conversation between Madelyn and Brian was faint but audible. 

“Been waiting long?” Madelyn asked Brian. 

“Not really.” Brian responded coolly. 

They were near a hotel. It seemed Brian had made a special trip to pick up Madelyn. 

Natalie pressed her lips tightly together, quickening her pace, and soon vanished around the 

corner. 

“What’s her deal?” Madelyn asked, following Brian’s gaze toward the place where Natalie had disappeared. 

“It’s nothing.” Brian replied, furrowing his brow slightly in irritation. 

Madelyn had claimed to be tied up at a work dinner, unable to escape, and Brian had to come to her rescue. 

He had thought Natalie might misunderstand, but she couldn’t care less about the women in his life. The agreement might have shackled her freedom, but not her heart. 

Natalie had been resting dutifully in the trailer Rosie had arranged for her, avoiding any private interaction with the other cast members. 

She knew her lines by heart, yet Miller still hesitated to let her on set, probably fearing it would aggravate the bruises on her arm. 

With no client missions to undertake on set, Natalie had been passing time playing video games to hone her reflexes, but even that grew tiresome. That was when Nina called with a video update on the latest happenings. 

Listening to Nina, Natalie realized it was deep into the night at Country Bluestar, but throughout the conversation, there was no sign of King. 

Sensing something was off, Natalie abruptly asked, “Has King been feeling better these past. few days?” 

Nina hesitated, “Uh…” 

“Nina, you never lie to me,” Natalie said, knowing by her hesitant reaction that King’s injuries

were more serious than the butler had let on. 

“They told me not to tell,” Nina finally admitted in a whisper. 

Natalie felt her heart sink. Just as she was about to press Nina for more details, a knock came 

on the trailer door. 

“I’ll call you back later.” Natalie said, hanging up the video call and turning nonchalantly toward 

the door.
