Chapter 6 Cut the Knot

In trance, the man in front of Natalie turned into Sebastian, who wiped her tears sympathetically in her memory.

"Aw..."

Natalie cried loudly all of a sudden, and she hugged "Sebastian" tightly in excitement. All her sadness was turned into the grievance. Just like a child being bullied in the outside finally comes back home, requiring no patience or depression, all the grievances burst out in an instant.

"I know you still love me. You want me. I know it. They all hurt me..." Natalie was crying to hiccups. Her shed streams of tears and mucus smeared Alexander's shoulder.

Alexander frowned and raised his hand. Instead of tearing Natalie from her body, he just patted her back and comforts her, "All right. Don't be afraid."

Was he infected by the woman's emotion? His heart seemed to suffer a slight pain as well, which was unable to be ignored.

Natalie didn't quiet down until the late night. After covering the quilt for her, Alexander pinched his eyebrows and went into the next room.

He didn't go to bed, but sat on the sofa staring at his left hand.

No other meaning, but...the hand had been close to a heart just now...

The intimate assistant next to him: Bruce was rather helpless. Boss kept on staring at his hand like this for a long time. What was wrong with his hand? Should I call a doctor?

Just when Bruce was imagining crankily, Alexander asked suddenly, "Bruce, tell me how to abandon love?"

"Ah?" Bruce was stunned. It was incredible that his boss who had found someone for surrogacy would ask such a problem today.

As to the problem unable to be solved by himself for one night, Alexander absolutely didn't expect him to answer.

He commanded, "Investigate the business condition of Ward Family...and the emotion between the president and his wife."

"Ah?" Bruce was more surprised than before. His widely opened eyes were full of astonishment.

Alexander's sight skimmed over him, ordering, "Go."

Looking up at the pitch dark world outside, Bruce resigned himself to destination and walked out, keeping on comforting himself: my boss doesn't take a fancy to another man's wife, he does this probably for a business plan.

Yes, a business plan.

...

"Hello..." Natalie's voice was weak. She was woken up by the phone bell. Her eyes were still not opened and the hangover headache made her a lump of paste in the brain.

"Mrs. Ward, your grandma: Emma Clark fell in a faint at the door entrance today, and she had been sent to the hospital by her neighbor..."

"What?"

All her sleepy feeling was expelled by the news. She put on the clothes and asked, "How is the condition now? Is it serious? I will come soon..."

After hanging up, Natalie started to realize that she was in a strange place. The memory came back and she stood on the spot with an ashamed expression. She had hugged a strange man, cried and created disturbances for one night.

Moreover, she ...she lets the man touch her breast!!!

The ringing belt in Natalie's heart was alarmed, "I gotta go, right now."

Or the man might come back again!

When she was collecting her belongings, Natalie found a piece of paper on the night table. It showed: cut the knot.

Natalie was surprised. She took up the paper and presented a bitter smile. However, her gaze became rather solid.

After dealing with the grandma's illness, her love with Sebastian should be settled...

She asked: How to abandon love?

He answered: Cut the knot.

...

After reaching the hospital, Natalie found that her younger cousin: Mia Smith had been there. Seeing her coming, the doctor said, "Mrs Ward, your sister and neighbor sent Mrs. Clark to the hospital. The patient's condition is very stable. Please don't worry about her. But you have to pay for medical expenses. The little girl has just paid two thousand dollars, but it still needs eight thousand."

Mia Smith's appearance was similar to Natalie. No wonder the doctor believed that they were full sisters.

Natalie smiled and thanked the doctor, and then looked toward Mia Smith.

On seeing Mia Smith smiles to her bashfully, she couldn't help approaching and pulling her hand, "Thanks, Mia."

"Oh no no no, it's fine." Mia Smith replied with a red face.

Natalie patted her shoulder with a smile, saying, "Ah, don't be so shy. I will treat you a big dinner."

"No, thanks." Mia Smith waved her hand and said shyly, "Natalie, you are the young mistress of Ward Family. Can't you find an internship for me in Ward Group? I have been a junior student, but I haven't found an internship opportunity until now."

"Well...internship..." Natalie felt rather awkward in her heart. All relatives knew she was the young mistress of Ward Family, but they indeed didn't not know that she fundamentally had no standing in the company.

As a matter of fact, she was similar to an ordinary staff without any right to arrange a position freely.

"Is it difficult? Forget it. I can help myself." Mia Smith further lowered her head and looked very depressed.

On seeing her helplessness, Natalie gritted her teeth, "Don't worry. I will manage it. You will get the news this week."

"Really? Thanks!" Mia Smith pulled Natalie's arm and showed a pleasant expression. Her smiling almond eyes had a flash of complacent glow.

These days, Natalie hurried between the hospital and the company. To accumulate more medical expenses for the grandma, she still found a temporary work in the evening, so she was as busy as a spinning top.

Besides, she still took time to help the manager of the Human Resource Department even though she was tired to death every day. She couldn't do any other thing. This was her only choice to recruit Mia Smith as an internship.

It was out of her expectation that it worked. Mia Smith was recruited into Ward Group as an internship successfully one week later. Natalie at last finalized one affair.

Gradually, her grandma's physical condition became more stable. Natalie knew it was the time to talk with Sebastian.

Now that they were bound to be strangers, it was better to disconnect more thoroughly. There should be no barriers.

She went to Ward's house once again. The old steward opened the door.

Natalie showed a kind smile, and she asked, "Henry, is Sebastian at home? I come to see him today."

"The Mr. Ward...Alas!" The old steward sighed and said, "Natalie, you are still young. Please care more about yourself.As to others...do not take them seriously."

Natalie felt a little inexplicable on seeing the strange expression of the old steward.

She was about to ask the reason, but the old lady rushed out. She pointed at Natalie and blamed her in a loud voice, "Why does this bitch come to my house once again? Do you feel shameless? You are not welcome."

The old steward persuaded, "Old lady, Natalie seldom comes back. Please do not always blame her like this."

"What?" The old lady screamed just as being stepped of the tail, "This is my house. Why couldn't I do that? Since this little bitch cheated on my grandson, then why does she fix her attention on my Sebastian?"
