Chapter 159


    "Then, I''ll be going," Natalie said.


    Tobias nodded.


    She walked forward and then heard the sound of the car behind her driving off.


    She halted and turned back.


    She watched as the ck Bentley drove away, and somehow her heart seemed to leave with it.


    After a while, a faint blush appeared on Natalie''s face. It was different from her usual flush; the


    redness slowly rose into her cheeks.


    The corner of her mouth slowly rose.


    She suddenly had a hunch that she, Natalie, seemed to be falling in love.


    When she saw Tobias now, she was like a teenage girl in love, who became a stammering clumsy


    fool in front of him.


    Natalie suddenly giggled.


    After arriving at the ssroom, Yvonne and Sebastian gathered around her.


    Because Natalie''s phone was smashed, they could not contact her. They were very anxious.


    "Where have you been, Natalie?"


    "Yeah, Natalie, the police even called to ask about your whereabouts."


    "Why is your phone always turned off?"


    "I was so worried, Natalie. You didn''t say a word about where you went. I thought you were


    kidnapped. Then I thought... Nah, who would kidnap such a poor person?"


    After that, Yvonne looked up and down at Natalie. "You weren''t assaulted, were you?"


    Natalie kept quiet.


    Well, Yvonne did guess really urately, but technically, it was an unsessful attempt.


    However, she did not intend to tell Yvonne and Sebastian about the incident at all. After all, the


    matter was soplicated. Natalie did not want them to worry about her.


    Of course, the most important thing was that this matter involved Tobias. Since Sebastian and


    Yvonne were convinced that she was obsessed with Tobias, Natalie did not want to tell them


    anything about him. "It''s okay, it''s not a big deal. It''s a private matter. Sorry, I let you guys worry,"


    Natalie said to them apologetically.


    "So you didn''t get assaulted?" Yvonne looked at Natalie suspiciously.


    Sebastian, on the other hand, was nervous.


    "No, no." Natalie sat down in her seat and said, "There''s nothing wrong. Rx, you guys."


    The two then asked her a bunch of questions. Natalie was annoyed and made up an excuse that


    she had lost her phone and was not in the mood to go to ss. She lied and said that the police


    who called them to ask about her was with regards to Queenieand Madison.


    Natalie''s story was believable, thus Yvonne and Sebastian didn''t suspect a thing.


    ss began.


    It was an economics ss. Somehow, the teacher ended up on the topic of the YS group.


    The nearly 40- year- old teacher was full of admiration for Tobias. He said it was amazing how


    Tobias turned YS Group into such a huge empire over just the span of a few years.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    The teacher babbled a lot, and Natalie''s heart began to stir.


    When she heard the praises towards Tobias, she felt as if she was being praised herself. Her heart


    was overjoyed and she couldn''t stop smiling.


    Eventually, the teacher realized that he had gone off-topic and finally returned to his sybus, but


    Natalie''s heart was still full of Tobias.


    She began to doodle Tobias'' name over and over again in her textbook.


    She did not mean to do it deliberately. She was merely doodling his name subconsciously.


    While Natalie was doodling, she thought of Tobias'' handsome appearance, and she even drew lines


    of pink hearts.


    Yvonne could tell something was wrong with Natalie when ss was ending.


    She was scribbling something by herself, with a dumb smile on her face.


    Yvonne went to touch her forehead, confirming this girl didn''t have a fever.


    When she noticed Yvonne''s palm was on her forehead, Natalie came to her senses and looked at


    her in a daze.


    Yvonne said with a heavy tone, "Natalie, don''t tell me you''re in heat."


    Judging by her foolish grin from earlier, Natalie was either having a fever orpletely infatuated


    with someone.


    Natalie was speechless.


    Yvonne looked down at Natalie''s textbook, and her jaw almost dropped wide open.


    The textbook was full of the name ''Tobias'' written all over it.


    Yvonne''s heart jolted. It''s over. Natalie was obsessed, it seems like it''s gotten worse than before,


    she thought to herself.


    Natalie saw Yvonne''s gaze falling onto her textbook. She hurriedly closed her textbook and


    pretended as if nothing had happened.


    Yvonne didn''t say anything. She waited until the ss was over and quietly left.


    Natalie''s eyshes fluttered wildly. She knew that Yvonne must be having wild guesses again.


    "Argh, how could I doodle his name all over my textbook?" She thought.


    After a while, Sebastian came over and stood in front of Natalie with a red face.


    "Natalie, can youe out?" He stammered.


    Natalie looked at him suspiciously and then walked out.


    The two of them went to a deserted corner.


    Sebastian opened his mouth. He seemed to be very nervous, but he was trying his best to calm


    himself down.


    "Natalie, have you heard of this saying before?" Although Sebastian was talking to Natalie, his eyes


    did not dare to meet hers.


    "What?"


    "Sometimes, what you''re searching for is right in front of you."


    Sebastian''s warm and old- fashioned demeanor paired with the words really left a weird taste in her


    mouth.


    Natalie frowned and thought, "What nonsense is he talking about? Why is he always speaking in


    rhymes?"


    Sebastian saw that she did not seem to understand what he wanted to say. He said with a red face,


    "Natalie, I know, I know that there are some outstanding men in the world. However, fantasies are


    not reality. It''d be better for you to focus your effort elsewhere..."


    Speaking of this, Sebastian paused and gathered up all his courage. "It''s better to pay more


    attention to the people around you, and put in more effort to them."


    After saying this, his face turned as red as a tomato.


    Natalie''s eyes showed that she was deep in thought.


    Sebastian reminded her to focus on the people around her. Well, Tobias was the person around her.


    She supposed that she should pay more attention to Tobias, and put in more effort for him.


    Natalie looked up at Sebastian, "Okay, I understand. I will pay more attention to the people around


    me."


    Sebastian was so excited that his words became incoherent.


    It was time for ss, Sebastian and Natalie went back to the ssroom.


    Yvonne nced at Natalie and asked carefully, "Natalie, did you understand what Sebastian told


    you?"


    Natalie smiled, "Yes, I heard it perfectly."


    Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief.


    Actually, there was a secret Natalie did not know about. Yvonne had to force it out of Sebastian


    before he could admit it.
