Chapter 689 He Changed Her Clothes
"I've got less than a grand in my pocket. Back in my sophomore year of college, I made my first buck by coding some software. Junior year, I joined Veronothe Howard Group. Started as a regular dude in R&D, but in six months, I was leading a team. A year and a half later, I was deputy manager, climbing the ladder one step at a time. Grandpa said he wanted to train us. I stuck around Verono for years and eventually became VP. Then, I came back to the States to run the Howard Group."
Natalie didn't see that coming from a rich family.
Cutting off the cards in college sounded cold-blooded.
Natalie said, "I thought you guys had it made. No worries about food or clothes, getting whatever you want, just a snap of the fingers and boom, designer bags and clothes, with a fat monthly allowance."
Adrian nodded. "Yeah, but not for me."
Adrian grabbed a napkin and wiped the sauce off the corner of Natalie's lips. "Take your time. You're getting sauce everywhere."
Adrian's long fingers held the napkin gently, his eyes locked on Natalie. The sauce on her pink lips had him zeroed in like he was handling a masterpiece.
Out of nowhere, Natalie grabbed Adrian's fingers and leaned in, her lips brushing his cheek before pulling back. "So what? Grossed out by me?"
Adrian's eyes darkened. That playful kiss from Natalie felt like a spark, almost setting him on fire.
Seeing Adrian just staring at her, Natalie thought he was mad about the sauce and her sneaky kiss. "I didn't mean to. Let me clean it up." She reached for a napkin and wiped his cheek, her touch soft like a feather.
Adrian grabbed her hand, his voice deep and rough. "I was gonna let you rest, but looks like you can't wait."
Natalie blinked. "What?"
"Enough of the food?" Adrian's voice was extra husky.
Natalie noticed his deep, husky tone and replied, "Yeah."
Adrian said with a smirk, "Good, 'cause you'll need energy for a workout."
Natalie finally got what he meant by "workout." She blurted out in a panic, "No, I don't have enough yet."
"Too late," Adrian said, "You started this. You can't just kiss and run."
With that, Adrian scooped Natalie up and carried her to the couch.
The couch was big enough for two, but still kinda tight. Natalie turned over and almost fell off. Adrian grabbed her waist, and she clung to his arm. "Let's go to the bedroom."
"In such a rush?" Adrian tilted her chin up with his fingers. "Natalie, do you know how tempting you are?"
Adrian looked at her flushed cheeks. Even after all this time, Natalie was still shy, especially about sex. She was kinda old-fashioned but had this killer allure. When she looked at him with those eyes, Adrian wanted to give her the world.
Natalie woke up late the next morning.
She wondered if Adrian ever needed rest, 'cause she had almost passed out.
Sitting up, she found herself in clean, soft pajamas, which Adrian must've changed her into.
