Chapter 733 He is too timid.
Leo was so shocked that he fled in a panic. Before he ran away, he couldn't bear to take one last glance at Natalie. Natalie felt that this kid was beyond redemption.
"Do you know him?" Natalie asked Oliver.
"I don't know him, I checked," Oliver replied.
However, anyone who had ill intentions towards Natalie couldn't escape Oliver's investigation. Coincidentally, this person's family had some business dealings with RK Group and had some connections with the Norton family as well.
But Natalie still breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected Leo to be able to leave so smoothly.
"I don't think Leo has romantic feelings for me, he just idolizes me," Natalie blushed when she mentioned the word "idol."
She never expected to have fans so quickly.
Well, fans who... who wanted to devote themselves to her.
"If he really had romantic feelings for you, Mr. Robert would have come to the hospital to pick up his son," Oliver said coldly.
He placed the packaged spaghetti on the table and set the chopsticks properly. "Come and eat, or it'll get cold."
Tonight, when Natalie was playing a short video, she suddenly stumbled upon a review about a local spaghetti joint in Tycoon City. The reviews said the food was delicious, and she casually mentioned that she wanted to try it. She didn't expect Oliver to actually go out and buy it.
This kind of century-old local delicacy couldn't be replicated by just any chef.
"Thank you! You worked hard, Mr. Windsor!"
Later that evening, Natalie sat down with a smile and took a few bites with her chopsticks. Then she furrowed her brows. "It doesn't taste that good. Why isn't this spaghetti flavorful?"
Oliver squinted his eyes and asked, "Is it spicy enough?"
"It's spicy enough," Natalie took another bite and said.
"Then it must be the spaghetti itself," Oliver would never admit that he asked the owner to use less seasoning.
"I don't want to eat anymore... What's wrong? I was really craving it before, but now suddenly I've lost my appetite," Natalie put down her chopsticks after only a few bites and was puzzled by her own behavior.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat," Oliver said as he saw Natalie yawn. "Feeling tired? Go wash up and go to sleep."
Natalie glanced at the time; it was only nine o'clock.
Usually, she would go to bed at ten thirty.
She felt tired earlier than usual tonight.
"You didn't have a nap, right? It's normal to feel tired earlier," Oliver convinced Natalie as he pulled her up and led her upstairs.
Natalie was persuaded by him.
Indeed, she woke up early and worked all day, so it was normal for her to be tired.
"By the way, will Leo reveal your secret?" Natalie asked before going to bed.
"He won't," Oliver scoffed, "look at how weak he is."
"..."
Why do you have to insult him again? He is almost ten years younger than you!
Leo really wouldn't reveal Oliver's identity. Although he was simple-minded, he was not stupid. It was obvious that Simon wanted to hide his identity and stay by Natalie's side, which was why he kept boasting.
Coming from a noble background, Leo still had some basic insight.
Leo even drew a sketch and sent it to his father who was thousands of miles away, asking if Simon from RK Group looked like this.
What if that person was trying to trick him?
As long as that "what if" was true, he still had a chance to compete!
Mr. Robert quickly replied to the email, confirming that it was Simon, and asked his youngest son why he had met Simon and if they got along well.
Leo's heart felt like a desolate grassland.
I want to pursue Simon's partner and got caught confessing. Father, what do you think of my relationship with him?
The next day.
Natalie quickly packed her things and went out, just like yesterday, she first went to the restaurant to have a meal with Lilian and Casey.
Casey finished eating quickly, knowing that Natalie would accompany her for endorsement shooting today, she quickly finished her meal and left.
"Natalie, they seem to be looking at you," Lilian whispered to Natalie.
"Not just looking, they are discussing," Casey asked, "Miss Watson, did something happen?"
"It's nothing big."
But they all knew that I had a "hidden beauty" at home.
They probably knew that I brought my lover here...
When Natalie was in the kitchen, she happened to run into Leo.
Leo was back to his low-key look today, wearing a T-shirt and casual pants, his washed hair hanging casually. It was hard to associate him with the confident and energetic young man from last night.
Even when Leo saw Natalie, sadness and disappointment could be seen in his eyes.
However, Leo obviously didn't dare to make any bold moves again, whether it was because of Oliver's identity or Natalie's rejection last night.
But whether it was because of the former or the latter, it was clear that Leo was not a bad kid.
At least he understood what should and shouldn't be done. Natalie sighed, feeling guilty for hurting the heart of this young adult who had just experienced his first love.
"Natalie, why do I feel like that man just now was looking at you with the eyes of a heartbreaker?" Lilian said emphatically.
"...How do you know?" Natalie asked.
"Of course!" Lilian confidently exclaimed, "The way he looked at you just now was exactly like the tragic second male lead in the several TV dramas I've watched before!"
Natalie reminded her, "Just watch TV dramas for entertainment, don't let it affect your thinking."
Lilian pouted, shaking her head as she said, "I know, those TV dramas nowadays are so stupid, they lower your IQ. But it's okay, I already have a boyfriend!"
Casey looked at Lilian differently. He thought her reason... was flawless.
So who exactly was willing to pick up this naive little idiot?
"Aren't you worried that your boyfriend will call you dumb? What if he thinks you're stupid and starts lying and bullying you?" Although Natalie hoped that Lilian would always remain happy and true to herself, she didn't need to become even more naive.
"It's okay!" Lilian continued to shake her head and giggle, "He has said I'm dumb before, and I've gotten used to it. And he's really smarter than me. As for bullying, I'm not afraid. Natalie, you will definitely help me!"
Natalie momentarily didn't know what to say.
She had already planned her way out, without any flaws.
Well, she would help her then.
Natalie received a message from the hotel. They arranged a luxury car to pick her up.
For guests staying in the top suites, the hotel's service naturally covered a full 360 degrees with no blind spots.
Natalie saw an Aston Martin parked outside the hotel lobby, and the license plate happened to match the one arranged for her by the hotel.
Such a well-arranged car?
Natalie was surprised when she heard the sound of heels approaching.
"Natalie!"
