Chapter 588 Busted By Samuel

“This is extremely dangerous, Effie, so pretend you’ve never heard anything that we said and don’t get

yourself involved,” Natalie cautioned. “I’m your superior, so this is a direct order that you are to comply

with without question.”

“Understood.” Effie remained worried for Natalie. “But what about you, Boss?”

Seeing Effie getting her own brow in a knot out of concern for her, Natalie’s lips lifted into a grin. “I’ll try to

be careful.”

Natalie departed from the Major Crimes Unit with a lot on her mind, for it was not as though she had not

thought about the things Effie mentioned before.

Back in the warehouse, Natalie had seen Melissa gunned down by Joshua with her own eyes. Hence,

her intention for wanting Gerald to covertly conduct an autopsy on Melissa was to ascertain the truth.

With the outcome of the autopsy inconclusive, the only thing that was certain was that the person behind

all of this was even more well-hidden and dangerous than she had anticipated.

Now, the plot had thickened to the point that she was not even sure why she herself became a target for

the mastermind.

But seeing how her counterpart enjoyed playing hide and seek and being as well concealed as he was,

she did not mind putting in the work to ferret him out.

Natalie headed home after she had the blood sample sent to the research center over at Dream. She did

not have much of an appetite by that time as she was still bogged down by ruminations about the whole

affair.

Taking a shower did not help clear her mind either, thus Natalie went out to the balcony to catch some air

in the hope that it might help her calm down.

The night breeze brought down Natalie’s body temperature and at the same time, helped settle her

emotions somewhat.

So lost in thought, she did not even notice Samuel pushing his way through the door.

“What are you doing, sitting here in the cold all by yourself?” The man’s voice coming from behind her

contained at least three parts of annoyance.

Natalie turned to the sight of Samuel’s deep-set phoenix eyes.

“Oh, didn’t you say that you won’t be back before ten? It’s only nine right now…” Natalie had a look of

sheepishness about her as she spoke in a small voice.

Samuel’s brows wound up in a furrow. “It should have been ten, but I drove a little faster than usual

because I wanted to get home earlier. Was I to return as scheduled, would you have stayed out here,

exposing yourself to the elements like this until then?”

When he was done talking, he grabbed Natalie by the hand and dragged her off the balcony and back

inside the bedroom.

Once inside, Samuel went on to tug at the sash around her waist, looking to relieve her of her robe.

“You…” Natalie bit her lip and whined, “Could you not?”

“What are you thinking, Natalie?”

That put the frowning Natalie into a defiant mood. “Why… What are you stripping my robe for!”

Samuel pursed his lips and without answering, wrapped his arm around her hip and lifted her.

“Samuel…”

The man said nothing. Instead, he forcefully carried her into the bathroom, placed her in the tub, and ran

the hot water.

“I’ve already taken a shower. There’s no reason for me to take another… Let me go!”

“No.” With his arms propped on either side of Natalie’s body, Samuel’s had his eyes fixated upon her as

he questioned away. “Do you really think you’re not going to get sick standing outside on a cold day like

this? Do you expect to not experience pain, or feel terrible? You know that I’d be worried if you were to

get sick, so are you so determined to see me look tormented before you learn to rein yourself in?”

Samuel’s gaze was frigid and his tone harsh.

Lifting her gaze to meet his, Natalie saw the concern in Samuel’s eyes and that moved her profoundly

inside.

This man… really, really loves me!

“I… I’m so sorry.” Realizing her own impropriety, Natalie softened her tone. “I was just too deep in

thought that I forgot… It won’t happen again next time…”

“Will there be a next time?” Samuel raised a skeptical brow.

“Never.” Natalie nodded and made a promise.

Samuel was much appeased after seeing Natalie acknowledging the error of her ways.

“Stay in the tub.” Samuel grabbed a towel in stride with which to cover Natalie’s chest. With tension in his

inflection, Samuel said, “I’m going to make you some ginger tea to drink after this.”
