Chapter 589
“Where is she then?” Brandon looked around and saw that only Natalie and Derek were at the table.
“She is in the bathroom,” Natalie said confidently.
However, Elizabeth hadn’t returned. Because of how Brendan was looking at her, Natalie felt even
guiltier. “Okay. Calm down.”

She then told him to sit down next to her. Sean, on the other hand, sat next to Derek.
“Have a look at the table! There are three sets of tableware, see? I think Elizabeth ising back
soon, and she’ll prove that I’m telling the truth,” Natalie continued to exin.
Brandon didn’t respond, but he sat down to show that he was willing to sit and wait for Natalie to prove
that she was telling the truth.
Unexpectedly, a waitress came over and gave them the bill. “Ma’am, Sir, here’s the bill. By the way, do
you still want us to keep the suite for the two of you? If you don’t need it, I can cancel it for you,” she
said to Derek.
Confused, Derek nced at everyone else at the table. He stood up, visibly shocked. “When the hell
did I ask to book a suite?”
Brandon’s face turned grim. “Looks like there’s no need for further exnation.”
Thereafter, he stood up and left.
Natalie red at Derek and said, “What prank are you trying to pull off here, Derek?”
She stood up and followed Brandon right away. Only then did she notice that there were employees of
the Larson Group gathered in the restaurant near her.
They all stopped smiling when they saw Natalie.
Natalie lowered her head and continued to run after Brandon. She just now understood that she
unintentionally humiliated him in front of his employees.
Those employees from earlier must be enjoying the fact that she had a dispute with Brandon.
Natalie chased Brandon out of the restaurant.
However, the windy dusk and her high heels made it difficult for her to keep up. With long strides,
Brandon was about to cross the zebra crossing.
There, realizing that she couldn’t catch up with him, Natalie suddenly came up with an idea.
She faked a fall, crying out and clutching her ankle. “Oh no! It hurts like crazy. I think I broke my bone!”
Brandon, who had been walking ahead, hesitated before turning back and rushing to Natalie’s side.
“Take off your shoe. I need to see that.” Bending down, he examined her ankle, p**ssing on different
spots and causing her to yelp in pain.
“Stop it. You just sprained your ankle. Are you trying to pull the wool over my eyes now? You’ve learned
to lie?” Brandon saw through Natalie’s pretense instantly. He stood up, his face darkening, and was
about to leave. “Wait, help me up first. Hear me out please!” Natalie pleaded, grabbing his wrist.
She could see Brandon was not that mad now and hoped to take advantage of the opportunity. “What
can I do to make you believe me? Or are you going to storm off in anger without giving me a chance to
exin?”
Then the two of them would definitely have a fight again. Brandon took a deep breath and tried to calm
down. He wanted to solve the problem first. He told himself so, though he was feeling uneasy due to
the fact that the staff of the Larson Group saw Natalie with another man. “What’s going on in your
mind?
Please, tell me.” Natalie felt uneasy as she observed Brandon’s scowl and his need to speak, followed
by his prolonged silence.
Brandon was a really proud man himself. He grabbed her wrist and assisted her in standing up.
Brandon said in an unprecedented serious tone, “I don’t appreciate the employees of the Larson Group
discussing your personal life. You’re a designer at W Marks Studio and also my wife. I understand that
you need tomunicate with other men for work, but please be mindful of the circumstances and
avoid awkward situations for both of us,” he said in a serious tone.
Natalie felt the urge to grip his hand. Feeling guilty, she lowered her gaze and apologized, “I didn’t
realize the Larson Group’s employees were there, and Elizabeth had just left for the bathroom. As for
the suite, it might be Derek’s doing. If you don’t buy what I’m saying, you can check the surveince
video. We only talked about work from start to finish.”
Natalie became incensed at the thought of this. She made a mistake by agreeing to have dinner with
Derek, who was quite proficient at stirring trouble.
Moreover, did something untoward ur with Elizabeth? She went to the bathroom and then never
returned! After having this thought, Natalie decided she needed to go back to the restaurant again to
check if Elizabeth was alright.
“You’re definitely thinking about something. What is it?” Seeing Brandon’s silence, Natalie grew more
anxious. She walked over and hugged him, asking him, “Are you still mad?”
Just then, a familiar Maserati pulled up before the two. . “Hey, stop canoodling in the middle of the
road, will you?” Derek rolled down the window and nced at the couple
Natalie was about tosh out at Derek when Elizabeth emerged from the car, looking worried. “Hey,
when I came back from the bathroom, you were nowhere to be found. Derek told me you and Brandon
got into a brawl because of me, is it true?”
Both Natalie and Brandon red daggers at Derek simultaneously. Natalie fumed, “Derek, why do you
always speak gibberish?”
Derek also stepped out of the vehicle, hands in his pockets, and said, “I’m not talking balderdash. It’s
true that Brandon jumped to conclusions and got angry because he didn’t see Elizabeth and thought
that we two were having a date alone.”
Elizabeth quickly exined, “Mr. Larson, be careful about what you think about Natalie. Natalie didn’t
have dinner with Derek alone. I was there with them, but I had to use the bathroom at that time. I didn’t
expect to cause such turmoil bet**en you two. I’m truly sorry.” “It’s okay. I just want a good reason as to
why you went as far as booking a suite.” Natalie cast a sharp nce at Derek.
