Chapter 629
Natalie fell asleep in Brandon’s arms, and when she woke up, it was already morning. She opened her eyes lazily and saw Brandon standing with his back facing her.
Brandon was typing away on his phone with his slender fingers.
Numerous texts were sent back and forth, and finally, he switched off his phone and returned to bed.
Brandon wrapped his arms around Natalie’s petite b*ody. “Who were you texting? Is there an emergency in the company again?” Natalie asked sleepily while rubbing her eyes. She finally understood how busy Brandon was as the head of the Larson Group, having been by his side for just a few days.
“It’s Sean. He told me that the plan had just begun,” Brandon said softly as he held Natalie tightly and buried his head in her hair.
Natalie’s warm and sweet fragrance penetrated his nose, and his fingers wandered under the covers, brushing against her n*aked skin.
“Stop it. A nurse is coming in to take your temperature soon,” Natalie snorted as she held his hand and kissed his cheek.
“Do you still remember what happened last night?”
Brandon flipped over effortlessly and pressed himself against her b*ody. He then bent over and kissed her on the neck.
Natalie tried to push his tight shoulders away as she said shyly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Brandon bit her smooth shoulder playfully and joked, “You’d better be careful when the nurse comes in. She’ll definitely ask why you didn’t open the door last night.” “You are the patient here. So, wouldn’t the nurse ask you instead of me? But if she really asks me why then I’ll tell her it’s because you were in top condition yesterday,” Natalie refuted defiantly. After all, Brandon’s performance last night indeed showed that he was healthy enough.
Natalie slipped out of Brandon’s arms. She got up and put her clothes on. She then threw the hospital gown to Brandon’s face and said, “Put your clothes on. You look so tardy.”
“I can’t do it. My hands are too weak,” Brandon pouted as he threw his hospital gown aside and looked at Natalie with a goofy grin.
Natalie pursed her lips and hurriedly tidied herself up before involuntarily helping Brandon with his hospital gown. Before she finished buttoning up the hospital gown, a rhythmic knock sounded on the door.
“Mr. Larson, are you up? I’m coming in to take your temperature and give you your medicine.”
A hint of panic flashed through Natalie’s eyes. However, Brandon remained calm and said in a low voice, “Open the door. I’ll get dressed by myself.”
Natalie was worried that the nurse might suspect something was wrong, so she hurriedly went to open the door.
The nurse came in and took Brandon’s temperature professionally. She then asked blankly, “Were you not in your room last night, Mr. Larson? I couldn’t record your temperature last night, which made it difficult for us to explain to the doctor.”
“Oh, I’m sorry about that. If there is any trouble with the doctor, please direct him to me,” Brandon said gently as he stole an affectionate glance at Natalie, who was hiding behind the nurse.
Vivian stared cautiously at Sean as she opened the file he gave her with trembling hands. After reading the details, it seemed that the project was what Charis was responsible for in the past.
Vivian was both surprised and shocked. Every step that Brandon had taken was out of her expectations, and people were always afraid of things they couldn’t control.
Vivian couldn’t help questioning, “Why is Mr. Larson putting so much faith in me all of a sudden?”
After thinking for a while, Sean replied honestly, “To be honest, I can’t figure out what Mr. Larson is thinking either. But Mr. Larson thinks you are smart. Do you still remember the rumor about Mr. Larson being hospitalized? That rumor is actually true. He had gotten into an accident and had to be hospitalized. However, he is still secretly keeping tabs on the company these past few days. He probably saw your devotion to the company and believed you are qualified for the job. By the way, Miss Turner used to be in charge of this project. Since she… Anyway, you can direct any questions to me.”
“Please help me thank Mr. Larson for the opportunity,” Vivian said with a hint of skepticism. She felt uncharacteristically timid today.
As Sean noticed the suspicion in Vivian’s tone, he quickly came up with another story to dispel her suspicion. “You should be thanking Mrs. Larson instead. She seems to like you very much. She said that you were a person of action, and you know how Mr. Larson always values her opinions.”
After saying his piece, Sean glanced at his watch for the time and excused himself.
Vivian thought that Sean’s words were reasonable. After all, Natalie was just an idiot in her eyes who would trust people easily. She felt lucky that she had tried her best to win Natalie’s trust before, and now it came in handy.
