Chapter 218
Ever since Natalia sealed the deal with Orange Horizon and ascended to the position of director, she
had been meticulously working around the clock, making the most of every workday.
Under her hands-on leadership, the staff in the design department were fueled with infectious
enthusiasm, working with zealous diligence every single day.
Perhaps it was Natalia''s radiant beauty that had won her such obedience from her subordinates. This
filled Magnus, who observed every move of hers through his office''s surveince system, with immense
satisfaction.
The sight of her constant bustling about the office was enough to make him feel as if she was right
beside him. His wife was indeed not an ordinary woman. She managed to win over the seemingly
difficult-to-handle staff with ease.
He had always known that she was a hidden gem, a radiant diamond. Even if she was unable to
manage her subordinates, he would never stand idly by. Anyone who dared to upset his wife would be
dismissed without hesitation!
Witnessing her busy yet fulfilled demeanor daily made Magnus feel torn between letting her work and
interrupting her.
Magnus chuckled as he picked up the phone on his desk. He ordered through the phone, "Send
dessert to each member of the design department as a reward for their hard work. Send the best one
to Ms. rkson. Tell her thepany''s boss is extremely pleased with her performance."
After hanging up, he looked at the surveince footage, grinning confidently. "You''re not going
anywhere, my dear wife!"
Magnus had initially drowned his sorrows in alcohol, believing that his wife hadpletely given up on
him. But now, he realized that she was just as reluctant to let him go and was just temporarily
overwhelmed by everything.
Magnus was determined to win her back, no matter what. He didn''t care about anyone, especially
Callum. Natalia was his, and no one could change that!
After a busy day, evening came swiftly. Magnus watched Natalia through the surveince. She was
packing up to leave work. He quickly descended into the elevator.
He nned to stage a casual encounter, perhaps to persuade his wife to return home with him. He

arrived at Natalia''s floor, smiling.
Natalia emerged from the department door, a radiant smile on her face. To his annoyance, Callum was
right beside her.
"I''ve reserved your favorite restaurant for dinner tonight," Callum said softly with a loving gaze in his
eyes. "Let''s watch thetest movie tonight. You mentioned wanting to see it, right? I''ve booked the
whole theater so no one can disturb us."
Natalia didn''t reject Callum''s offer, instead, she merelyughed and called him childish. Then, she
joined Callum in a different elevator.
"Damn it!" Magnus was fuming with jealousy, seeing their intimate smiles. He wondered how far they
had progressed in the past five years.
Magnus thought about Callum being by his wife''s side for five years. He wished he could destroy the
world!
No matter how far Callum and Natalia hade, Magnus would take his wife back, and make that
British guy wish he was dead!
Magnus was in a sour mood, to say the least. It seemed his rival was not to be underestimated. Callum
dared to ask his woman out for dinner and a movie, as if Magnus was no threat.
Especially when Natalia, the little minx, not only didn''t decline but alsoughed so sweetly.
Just thinking of that scene made Magnus'' heart feel like a cat was scratching it. His heart felt tingly and
was hurting, and helpless!
When Magnus saw Natalia get into Callum''s car through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the design
department, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Just wait, Callum. I''ll make you wish you were dead!"
Callum, the crafty fellow, had whisked Natalia away, so Magnus was left stewing in his anger for the
entire evening.
Even the next day, as he watched Natalia go to work through the surveince footage, he was filled
with jealousy. If not for the fear that his impulsive actions might scare his wife and backfire, he would''ve
grabbed her, chained her to him, and never let her go. So, with anger boiling within him, he dialed his
deputy''s number.
"I want the design department to finish the designs due for the day after tomorrow as soon as possible.
Everyone will work overtime tonight. No exceptions!"
Callum thought that by sticking to his fiancée every day, he could get a piece of the sweet pie. Magnus
had weathered many storms, and he wouldn''t lose to Callum!
"Yes, sir," the deputy replied promptly. Under his direction, the entire design department was instructed
to work an extra four hours.
As evening fell, Callum, like the previous day, came to Natalia''s office to pick her up.
This time, Magnus saw Natalia exin to Callum with a troubled expression, "I''m sorry, Cal. I might not
be able to join you for dinner tonight. I have some drafts to finish, and the production department is
waiting for them."
Natalia felt guilty, knowing that Callum had put aside his responsibilities to spend more time with her.
But she finally had a job at Orange Horizon, and she wanted to prove her worth.
Even though Callum was disappointed, he still smiled at her understandingly. "It''s okay, Nat. If we
postpone our ns, we can do them a littleter. I can wait for you."
"I''ve asked the restaurant to close a bitter tonight. However, we might not make it to the movie
tonight. Besides, you need to rest after dinner, staying up toote isn''t good for your health."
"Mmm, but Cal, if you have something to do, don''t wait for me. I might bete."
Upon hearing Callum say this, Natalia was deeply touched.
Callum had always been incredibly kind and considerate towards her, never causing her any difort
or trouble.
The more gently she was treated, the more moved she felt. The more moved she was, the more she
felt she didn''t deserve Callum''s kindness.
However, upon hearing Natalia say this, Callum justughed.
