Chapter 11 Does It Hurt?

"Suit yourself." Kenneth looked sideways at Lettie and ordered, "Call the servant at the Hussain Mansion and say I'll be there tonight. Ask Miss Bentley to get ready." "Yes." Lettie nodded. There seemed to be something wrong with this. He just meant to stimulate Natalie. Natalie was overjoyed at once. He was going to the Hussain Mansion? Then wasn't she free? She was going on a date with Leona! "Come with me." Kenneth turned around, got into the car and left after saying that to Natalie. Natalie was rendered speechless. Why? ! They were secretly married! In the eyes of those people at the Hussain Mansion, she was just a secretary. How could she be qualified to attend the family dinner of the Hussain family? She got it. Kenneth intended to embarrass her! "Mr. Hussain did this for your own good. In order to avoid suspicion, you have to walk a long way to and from work. He can't bear it." Lettie explained for Kenneth. "I know." Natalie replied, "But I can't accept too much kindness from him. I take the salary because of my hard work." She was not really relaxed as a secretary. When she worked for Kenneth, she had to be observant and alert, inquiring about all kinds of news. And she didn't marry Kenneth for money. She just wanted to keep her job. She never wanted anything from Kenneth. Even if he gave her, she couldn't feel at ease. She couldn't only own some things by herself. What given by others could never be hers. She didn't want to be so humble. She had never wanted to marry into a wealthy family or dreamed of anything. She just wanted to be pragmatic. Even if she wanted to fall in love and find a boyfriend, she also hoped to find someone with the same strength as herself. It was not good no matter the man had too high or too low status. Kenneth's status was too high. They were not equal considering money and identity. In that case, even if they loved each other, it was difficult to balance. What was more, they didn't have feelings for each other yet. Natalie had a simple idea. If she got divorced in the future, she would take the money Kenneth gave her. Because she may not be able to be Kenneth's secretary anymore after the marriage ended. If he didn't give it, she wouldn't care. She just wanted to work hard and make money. As for other things, she didn't think about them. —— Natalie took a taxi to the company. After getting out of the taxi, she was stopped by Debra. "Natalie~" Debra took Natalie's arm. "I'm so glad you come to work. I thought you'd be fired." "I'm going to punch in. Please let go of me first." Natalie was speechless. "I'll go with you." Debra wanted to go in with Natalie. Natalie saw through Debra's intention and said, "Mr. Hussain is not in the company." "Where has he gone?" Debra let go of Natalie's arm, "He isn't at the company early in the morning. Is he meeting someone important?" "I have no idea." Natalie walked toward the company building. Debra caught up with Natalie and asked, "Is there any woman in a relationship with Kenneth?" "Sorry, I can't say anything." Natalie shook her head with great caution. "Well, tell me, are you having an affair with Kenneth?" Debra asked very directly. Natalie widened her eyes and replied, "Miss Walsh, please speak responsibly. I'm not having an affair with him." They had been married. Of course, it was not an affair. Debra believed her, "Since you say so, I'm relieved." "Why?" Natalie asked in confusion. "He is not tempted by such a beautiful woman as you, so he won't take a liking to other women." Debra frowned and asked again, "Do you think he doesn't like women?" "He likes." Natalie was pretty sure. After all, if he was a gay, he wouldn't work so hard when they had sex at night. "So he must have a unforgettable woman in his heart!" Debra grabbed Natalie's hand and asked, "Natalie, would you please help me find out who his beloved woman is?" "Miss Walsh, you've already made me suffer once." Natalie refused. "I can give you money. It's five thousand last time. But I'll give you fifty thousand this time!" Debra thought it was a matter of money. "Mr. Hussain said, if I don't tell you, he will give me 100,000." Natalie swiped the card and went in. Debra said through the baffle, "I'll give you 200,000!" But Natalie walked into the elevator without looking back. After arrived at the station, she started to deal with her work. When it was about eleven o'clock, she went into the CEO's Office. "Mr. Hussain." Natalie walked up to Kenneth. Probably because of the quarrel in the morning, she felt a little uneasy. In the whole morning, Kenneth didn't ask her to deliver coffee or anything. Anyway, both of them seemed to be sulky. But they had to work. There was no way Natalie wouldn't talk to him. "What's wrong?" Kenneth raised his dark eyes and looked at her sharply. "At noon today, your mentor in college invited you to lunch, and it's about the time." Natalie reminded. Kenneth's mentor in college was an expert in artificial intelligence. Now he seemed to have gained some insights about the innovation of unmanned driving. So he wanted to have lunch with Kenneth to communicate. The schedule was set a few days ago. She was just reminding him. "Hmm." Kenneth stood up. He held a document and rested it gently on Natalie's head. Natalie took it down in confusion. Kenneth explained, "This is the latest approval of the company. The company's new high-end electric energy vehicle needs to be tested by the company's internal personnel. I have already approved it for you. Go to get the car yourself. This is not for you in vain. You need to provide a use report, got it?" Natalie was surprised, "Is there such a good thing in the company?" Kenneth snorted. "Thank you, Mr. Hussain!" Natalie smiled happily. "I'll write the report very carefully." "If you don't write well, this car will be rented to you, and you will have to pay the rent at that time." Kenneth said seriously, "The price is three times that in the market." Natalie didn't know what to say for a moment. He was really inhumane! But she was still very happy. Seeing her happily smile, Kenneth showed an imperceptible smile. Natalie wasn't in a hurry to pick up the car. She had to accompany Kenneth to see his mentor first. —— They came to a restaurant. It was newly opened. But it was very popular as soon as it opened. Because the main feature here was to reproduce the dishes on ancient recipes. Although the price was expensive, many people come to dine. Kenneth's mentor liked it very much, and Natalie arranged lunch here after research. Kenneth only brought Natalie. But his mentor brought several students. These male and female and students were very excited to meet Kenneth. Kenneth's mentor, Colby Palmer, introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Kenneth Hussain. He is my most proud student and your senior." "Nice to meet you!" Those two girls had the most loud voices. Colby told Kenneth, "They are my newly recruited doctoral students. I'd like you to meet them." Before Kenneth could speak, one of the girls stood up and walked over to Kenneth. On the way, she bumped into Natalie, but she didn't apologize. "Nice to meet you. My name is Melissa Jones." Melissa was shy as she talked to Kenneth. Kenneth's face darkened. He looked at Natalie and asked, "Does it hurt?"
