Natalie froze at the spot.

Before she could fully grasp the meaning of Tobias''s words, his long legs strode forward. Natalie
could only follow behind him hastily.
After arriving at the president''s office, the atmosphere of therge space suddenly seemed more
pressuring than usual. Natalie lowered her head and stood in front of Tobias like a student waiting to
be punished.
"Something went wrong with the contract?" Tobias broke the silence, asking in a gentle tone.
Natalie nodded, shame visible in her eyes, "Mr. Whitlock, I know that I''ve caused a huge loss for the
company. I, I..."
She did not know what else to say. What''s done is done, and it was indeed her fault.
A momentter she lifted her head, eyes brimming with shiny tears, "Why not just fire me?"
"Will firing you make up for the loss thepany has to suffer?" Tobias''s deep eyes were locked on
Natalie. "Natalie, tell me, how do you n topensate for this loss?"
She bit down hard on her lower lip.
Truth be told, she had no idea at all. It was the first time she encountered such a sum in her life.
A whopping hundred million dors - even if she was sold off, she would not be worth that much.
Feeling Tobias''s fixed gaze on her, Natalie felt even antsier, her anxiety rising with each ticking
minute.
She could not think of any way that she couldpensate for her mistake.
The long pause was killing her. Close to tears, she started, "Mr. Whitlock, I really don''t know what to
do. Even if you sold me off, I won''t be worth that much money. Why don''t you just send me to jail?"
Tobias''s fingers lightly tapped on the desk as he leaned against it, replying coolly, "Who said you''re
not worth that much?"
Natalie was taken aback.
Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Natalie, you''re worth a lot. You''re not worth a hundred
million, you''re a priceless treasure."
She wiped her red eyes, not understanding what he meant.
"Come here." Tobias said to Natalie.
Natalie walked over and stood in front of him.
"Natalie, would you like to repay thepany?" A dark light glinted in Tobias''s eyes.
Natalie nodded furiously, her head nodding up and down like a bobblehead doll.
As long as there was a way to make up for the losses, she was fine with doing anything at all -even
it meant scaling a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of mes.
Tobias pondered silently for a moment.
"Natalie, there''s a job that you could try. The sry is high enough for you to cover thepany''s
losses."
A sh of doubt popped up in Natalie''s mind.
What kind of job would pay such a high sry?
She had a momentary thought, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Boss, you can''t possibly want me to..." Natalie''s eyes reddened again.
"Want you to what?" Tobias nced at Natalie.
"You don''t mean selling me off as an adult model to cover for the losses, do you?" Natalie asked
with a little difficulty, choking on sobs.
Apart from that job, Natalie could not think of any other line of work that could afford to pay what the
company has lost.
"My son needs someone to take care of him. Natalie, why don''t you be his babysitter? Your sry
will be treated aspensation for thepany''s losses." Tobias said in a deep voice.
Natalie took a taxi home.
She felt faint and light-headed.
How could such a major crisis be resolved so easily?
Not only did she not need to go to jail, but also spared the losses too. All it took was for her to be a
child''s nanny?
Besides, when did Mr. Whitlock have a son?
Natalie scratched her head. She had never heard such news before. Was it not rumored that Mr.
Whitlock does not even have a woman by his side?
Not to mention, where was the child''s mother? Why was she taking care of him instead of the
mother?
But it did not take long before Natalie understood.
Since Mr. Whitlock was gay, perhaps the child was conceived by a surrogate, so he did not have a
mother at all.
After thinking about it for a while, Natalie finally came to a conclusion.
Although she was not used to babysitting, at least she did not have to worry about paying that huge
sum of money.
As soon as she reached home, Natalie began to pack up her clothes.
Because the big boss had said that she had to be a live-in nanny, and today would officially be her
first day of work.
This also meant that from this day onwards, she was going to have to stay in the big boss'' house.
Natalie was slightly ovee with nerves.
She did not know what his house was like, or if he would bepletely different from how he was in
the office.
The more she thought about it, the more dizzy she became.
Giving herself a heavy pat on the head, she told herself not to think too much about it.
As the saying goes, "Where there''s a will, there''s a way." She only had to take care of a child. There
was nothing to worry about, so she might as well make the best of the situation.
Natalie did not own that many clothes, so it only took her a short while to finish packing up.
She made a phone call to Yvonne, wanting to tell her that she would not be staying in the apartment
for a period of time as she was going to be a nanny.
Not knowing how long the big boss wanted her to be a nanny, she felt quite reluctant to leave
Yvonne behind.
However, the call did not get through. Just as Natalie was about to call again, her phone rang.
It was Remington.
"Natalie, what are you up to?" His voice was particrlyid-back.
Natalie licked her dry lips.
She considered Remington as one of her friends, so she decided to let him know about her
situation.
"Remington, I''m going to be a nanny, I''m going to be taking care of a child." Natalie said.
She then told him everything.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
"Where are you? I''ming to see you." He abruptly answered, this time with a hint of seriousness
in his voice thatcked its usual cynical touch.
And so Natalie told him that she was at home.
Twenty minutester, Remington''s arrived at Natalie''s apartment.
Natalie took her packed bag downstairs and got into the car.
"Remington, could you please send me there?" Natalie asked.
She did not think much about her request.
Remington did not reply, and the atmosphere in the car was inexplicably daunting.
Natalie sat there, puzzled.
She nced at him, "Remington, what''s the matter?"
Remington finally opened his mouth, "I''ll give you the hundred million dors to resign from YS
immediately."
Natalie was stunned.
Although she knew that Remington must have that sum of money, she had no intentions of
epting.
After all, the both of them were only friends. Why should Remington pay for her mistakes?
What''s more, she had already troubled him so many times, and she did not wish to bother him time
and time again.
"No, it''s not necessary. I can''t take your money."
Natalie refused hastily.
"You must." Remington fixed his gaze on Natalie''s face.
Natalie continued to refuse, "You really don''t have to, and I''ve already promised Tobi-"
Before she could finish, Remington''s hands were suddenly gripping at her chin.
He was using quite a lot of strength, and Natalie felt a burst of pain.
Eyes widening, she stared at him in shock.
Remington''s gaze had always been dull and impassive, but at that moment, they held an rming
note of harshness.
"Natalie, you still care about Tobias, don''t you?" his voice was a little rough.
Natalie''s breathing stopped.
She did not understand what Remington meant. And when she looked into his eyes, it startled her
even more.
The look on his face was pure agitation, which she never expected.
"Remington, take your hand away. My chin hurts." cried Natalie while trying to pry away his hand
that was holding onto her chin.
