Natalie prepared breakfast for them while Justin watched the early morning news.
The reporter’s voice echoed through the TV-
When every company, not just in the Imperial city but in the entire country were trying to grab a deal with NextEra technologies, the only company which managed to successfully grab the deal was the Harper group. Once more the Harper group has proven that if they decide to enter a particular sector, then no other company stands a chance in front of them.
The company gives the credit of this to their newly appointed Global CEO of Harper Group Justin Harper, who we all are waiting for his official appointment as the one. The entire business world is waiting to meet him and finally get to know who this distinguished young CEO is. News is that he is back in the country, but there is yet no movement from Harper group on revealing him to the public.
Natalie, who was bringing the breakfast to the table, commented, "Quite a mystery, huh, Mr Justin Harper? You do enjoy it, don’t you."
"I don’t like to be in the limelight, unlike someone who enjoys it very much, creating scandals at every breath they take," he replied coolly.
Thud!
Natalie angrily put the pot on the breakfast table at his sarcastic remark, but said nothing.
He smirked playfully, feeling her anger even from a distance and continued watching.
Another mysterious person, The CEO of the NextEra is said to be the Imperial city. It is said he personally signed the deal with the CEO of Harper group.
"You met him?" Natalie asked as she sat next to Justin to watch the news as well.
"You can say that," Justin replied, his attention focussed on the news.
The mysterious man who spent two billion for a dance with our Scandal Queen Natalie Ford, everyone is now predicting that he is none other than the CEO of NextEra Tech.
Natalie gritted her teeth. "Scandal Queen? How dare they?"
"That’s a suitable name, indeed," Justin sounded serious.
Some say that person is Adam Summers and some say he is the CEO of NextEra Tech. No one can confirm anything yet. As we cannot reach these two men, maybe our Scandal Queen, Natalie Ford could answer it.
"Once again a scandal Queen?" She picked up the remote to throw it at the TV, but Justin held her hand to stop her.
"You..let go..."
Justin continued to hold her hand while he glared at the TV screen where the images of Natalie and Victor flashed on the screen along with news.
The scandal Queen loves to be with rich, young, handsome men. We wonder how she knows all of them? Adam Summer, CEO of NextEra or our superstar Victor Ried. Next news might come out as she even knows another mysterious figure, Justin Harper.
"What the hell are they talking about?" Natalie frowned, wanting to strangle that reporter. "Other than Victor..."
"How do you know him?" she heard Justin ask, his grip on her hand tightened.
"I happen to know him by chance."
"And you happened to ignore the warning I gave you the other day?"
She realised what she was worried about was finally happening. The calmness she felt from him last night was just a silence before the storm. "T-That’s a friendly hug...."
"I don’t allow it," he declared.
She moved her gaze from TV to him, clearly angry, "Oh, so you are angry at a friendly hug?" something inside her snapped, "How about when I danced with an unknown man so closely for the entire ten minutes. You didn’t say anything about that."
Sensing the mocking from her, which felt like she was challenging him, he looked back at her. "He saved you from the humiliation, so he is forgiven."
Her lips curved into a mocking smirk. "Alright so if a man saves me from humiliation, he is allowed to do anything with me, is it?"
