Natalie was left waiting for her takeout after her call with Skylar, feeling a bit bored. These past few days had been too indulgent for her liking. She decided she would look for a job
tomorrow. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She had originally considered starting her own business, but her current state of mind wasn’t conducive to entrepreneurship.
She would find a new job first and then consider opening a café later. While she was lost in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang. She hurried over to open the door. “Just a second.”
Her stomach almost growled from hunger. The delivery was taking a bit longer today, likely
due to the dinner rush.
Finally, she opened the door, only to freeze in disbelief at the person standing before her. “Mr. Powell?”
She wondered what Austin was doing here all of a sudden. She glanced to the side but didn’t see Hank. So, Austin had come by himself.
He stared at Natalie with deep, dark eyes, saying nothing. It was rare for him to appear so serious. He seemed angry.
“Um… Mr. Powell, I know I left abruptly, but there were reasons. I wasn’t feeling well, and I told Hank I didn’t need my paycheck for this month. So… please don’t be upset.” She forced a sincere
smile, trying to convey her apologies.
Ever since she met Jessica, she felt something was off when she saw Austin. Austin regarded the carefree Natalie with a mix of emotions. He had been waiting for her to reach out.
But instead, she had disappeared without a trace. She had even blocked him and Hank on WhatsApp. It seemed she didn’t want any connection with him at all.
Austin wondered if she had really not noticed his feelings after all this time.
“Mr. Powell? You… Can you say something? I’m starting to feel anxious.” Seeing Austin staring at her without saying a word, Natalie suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She realized that quitting her job so abruptly might have been too sudden, but Austin looked extremely angry.
Suddenly, Austin stepped forward with purpose.
He pressed Natalie against the wall and kicked the door shut behind him.
Natalie’s mind went blank. “Mr. Powell, you—”
Without warning, he kissed her. Natalie completely froze, her body stiffening in shock.
At that moment, a knock echoed from outside the door. After a few seconds, the knocking continued.
Natalie stared wide–eyed at Austin, who was kissing her. She was completely stunned and bewildered. She couldn’t help but wonder why he had kissed her out of nowhere. They weren’t even acting in a scene.
In that instant, something clicked in her mind, exploding into awareness. Meanwhile, the delivery person outside waited a few moments before calling her phone.
The ringtone pierced through the apartment, loud and jarring.
At that moment, Austin finally released Natalie and looked down at her. He asked, “Now do you understand why I came to see you?”
Natalie was still in shock. She nodded, then shook her head. “Mr. Powell, please move aside. My food has arrived.”
Austin couldn’t help but chuckle at her words.
Once he stepped aside, Natalie quickly opened the door. Her face flushed and quickly grabbed the takeout from the delivery person.
