Luna said with a smile, "Natalie, Grandpa asks me about you every few days. He''ll asionally ask about Sebastian, and sometimes about Mr. Monroe. He''s very
concerned about your future."
Natalie raised an eyebrow. She understood her grandfather''s good intentions. "I get what you''re saying, but this ne is just too expensive."
Natalie knew better than to ept a reward she hadn''t earned.
Besides, when she first met Matthew, she had made it very clear that it wasn''t a setup, it was a business partnership.
The memory of Matthew asking about her divorce made her heart tense up.
Luna could see Natalie''s difort. She wasn''t good at handling these kinds of social obligations either.
"Natalie, just hold onto it for now. You can return it to Mr. Monroe when you get a chance."
"I guess that''s the only option. Remember to take it back with youter and lock it in the safe. We''ll return it to Mr. Monroe when the time is right."
"If we can''t return it directly, see if there''s anything he needs. We have to repay this favor."
She hated owing anyone anything. She much preferred it the other way around.
Luna smiled. "Got it!"
A few minutester, Keith and Caleb walked in, carrying dinner. It was no exaggeration to say that Keith was toting a massive grocery bag stuffed full of crabs.
Natalie was speechless.
"Keith, I said I was craving crab, not that you needed to bring a whole sack of them."
Keith''s handsome face broke into a warm smile.
"Natalie, there are four of us. Whatever we don''t finish can be ate-night snack. We have a long night ahead of us."
Natalie''s mood brightened at that. "You''re always so thoughtful. Yes, we''ll definitely need ate-night snack. Let''s get all thispany business sorted out before the holiday. To make sure no one ruins my New Year''s, after dinner, let''s strategize on how to deal with Joanna and Timothy."
She then turned to Caleb. "Caleb,e and sit down. Thanks for all your hard work today!"
Caleb shook his head with a smile.
Working here was exciting and
fulfilling. The best part was that he 1.
got to work alongside Natalie, and
he could see her whenever he wanted it''s no trouble, Natalie m really happy. I love this job
Natalie smiled brightly. "I''m d you''re happy!"
The group sat down to eat dinner.

Meanwhile, Sebastian was watching
Natalie in her office. She was
mcalin her work. In just one afternoon, She. She had already reassured many of their partners.
She wasn''t just a brilliant designer; she was also an excellent businesswoman.
But Matthew had sent her three hundred million dors'' worth of jewelry to celebrate her divorce. What a grand gesture.
Sebastian scoffed. He wouldn''t let Matthew take his woman from him.
Sean walked in with dinner, also holding a paternity test report.
"Sir, dinner is ready."
Hearing his voice, Sebastian stopped looking at his phone and nced up. He still wasn''t used to seeing Sean''s unfamiliar face.
Sebastian pointed to the mask on his face. "Take that mask off. I can''t eat while looking at a stranger."
Sean was at a loss for words.
He ced the dinner on the table and handed the paternity test report to Sebastian. "Sir, would you like to look at this first?"
Sebastian nced indifferently at the file in his hand, showing no urgency. "Put it aside. I''ll look at it after dinner."
Sean was taken aback. How could he not be anxious? Sean was practically dying of suspense for him.
He had no choice but to ce the file aside. He sat down, looking upset. He had seen something heartbreaking when he went out earlier.
Sebastian noticed his mood. "What''s wrong? Why the long face? Are you that unhappy about having to go get dinner?"
Sean looked at him and said in a low
voice, "When I went to see the Chairman, I saw Boris with him Boris has been investigating your rtionship. It turns out he''s one the Chairman''s men too."
