Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 123

With that said, Sean wrapped an arm around Natalie’s shoulders and guided her out of the hall. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Natalie did not make a fuss as she was taken away from Shane. She did not care who she left with, only that she could leave as quickly as possible.

Shane’s eyes darkened as he watched Sean and Natalie exit the hall. His hand clenched into tight fists. At that moment, he cursed his identity as Jasmine’s fiancé. The thought of calling off their engagement sprouted in his mind.

At the private lounge.

Sean handed Natalie a glass of warm water. “Here, drink some water to calm your nerves.”

“Thanks,” Natalie answered hoarsely. She was feeling a lot better now that she was out of the hall. Reaching out to accept the glass, she took a sip.

Sean draped his suit jacket over the back of the couch opposite hers and sat down. Then, he crossed his legs before focusing a heated stare on her.

Feeling uncomfortable at his gaze, she shifted slightly and shrank back. “Mr. Sean, what are you looking at?”

He propped his head up with one arm and chuckled softly. “I’m looking at your eyes. You look beautiful even after you cry. I’m sure you’ll be absolutely stunning when you’re actually crying. It’s just too bad that it was so dark earlier. I couldn’t see anything.”

Natalie scowled at his flirtatious words. “Mr. Sean, maybe you should leave first. I can wait by myself for someone to bring a new change of clothes.”

If he continued to remain here, he might say more things she did not want to hear.

“Nobody’s bringing you clothes.” Sean took off his glasses and set them aside.

Natalie was stunned at his words. “What? Why?”

“Because I didn’t even send anyone off to find you clothes,” he replied while tugging at his tie.

She stiffened as alarm bells started ringing in her mind. Placing the glass of water down, she sprinted for the door.

“It’s no use. I locked the door when I came in.” Sean got to his feet and turned to smile evilly at her.

The color drained from Natalie’s face. Her unease grew while her heart pounded in her chest. “What are you planning on doing?”

“What am I planning on doing?” He snickered at her question. “A man and a woman are all alone in a room. What do you think?”

“You!” Her eyes widened in shock as realization dawned.

When he began to prowl toward her, she instinctively backed away.

Her back bumped into the door, cutting off her escape. There was nowhere she could run.

Nevertheless, she still whirled around to pull on the doorknob with all the strength that she had. She had to open the door!

To her dismay, Sean had not been lying when he said he had locked it.

By that point, he was nearly upon her.

Gritting her teeth, she let go of the doorknob and dashed to the side to grab a vase. She lifted it threateningly and warned, “Don’t come any closer or I’ll call the police!”

He raised an eyebrow at her and taunted, “Go ahead. I’d like to see you try.”

“What do you mean?” she asked with dread.

He did not answer, merely watched her with interest.

She hugged the vase to her with one hand while the other rummaged through her purse. When she dug out her phone, she saw that she had no signal at all.

“How can this be?” Her lips quivered as despair filled her eyes.

Sean lifted a hand to sweep some errant hair out of his eyes. “I had my men jam the signals beforehand. Not only that, but nobody will also be coming here to disturb us either.”

Natalie’s grip on her phone tightened. “I understand now. This is the reason you invited me to your birthday banquet!”

“That’s right.” He nodded then added smugly, “I had originally planned on using an excuse to lure you here after the dance. To my annoyance, Shane and Jasmine decided to get themselves involved. Thankfully, even though there were some hiccups, my plan still worked out in the end.”

“Why?” She glared at him furiously. “How does sleeping with me benefit you?”

At that, Sean’s lips twitched into a smirk. “It benefits me a lot. You know about the grudge between Shane and me?”

Natalie nodded.

She had heard all about it from the employees of Thompson Group. Although Shane and Sean were cousins, they were mortal enemies.
