Just as Nathalie was about to say something, she heard Emanuel ask, “Is he your boyfriend?”
Nathalie immediately denied, “No no no, I just met him once. He was wrongly implicated because of me.”
Emanuel had lost his voice again, and this feeling was making Nathalie extremely uncomfortable.
Nathalie really didn’t understand what was going on with Emanuel?
Just when Nathalie was about to ask a question tentatively, Emanuel spoke again and said, “It’s your roommate who moved out, and I’ve asked someone to arrest her.”
Nathalie was confused and shocked at the same time.
She said, “Damn it! Where is she?”
“I’ll have someone come pick you up,” said Emanuel.
Nathalie said, “Wait for me to come over. Don’t touch her yet!”
After hanging up the phone, Nathalie was so angry that she stormed out of the dormitory.
Veronica and Niamh were not here at the moment, both of them saw the trending topic and were on their way back.
After Nathalie rushed out of the dormitory and got into the car sent by Emanuel, she finally saw the group chat of their dormitory.
Veronica was crying her eyes out and kept apologizing to Nathalie.
If it weren’t for her obsession with being a fan, Nathalie would never have helped her find Billy to take a photo together.
She directly hurt the two people she cared about the most.
After reading the messages in the group, Nathalie directly sent a voice message, “Don’t cry. I’m going to avenge you. Don’t worry. I will definitely take her skin off.”
Veronica and Niamh quickly sent messages asking what was going on.
Nathalie cannot say for sure right now, so she just asked them to wait. Anyway, there will be results soon.
The car pulled up in front of a villa, and Nathalie got out of the car, feeling extremely angry.
Coming to such a great environment, was she worthy of it?
Nathalie rushed into the gate and didn’t see the woman, but saw Emanuel sitting on a sofa.
Instantly, Nathalie’s arrogance dissipated and her steps changed from running to small steps as she approached Emanuel.
Approaching Emanuel, Nathalie smiled awkwardly and said, “Emanuel, what are you doing here?”
Emanuel lifted his eyelids and looked at Nathalie coldly. “Don’t want to see me?”
Nathalie really wanted to say that she didn’t really want to see him.
But she was too scared. How could she say such things to Emanuel?
Nathalie put on a particularly bright smile and said, “Emanuel, what are you talking about? I’ve missed you.”
Emanuel’s eyes darkened when he heard this. There were unknown waves surging in his eyes.
However, his voice remained extremely cold. “I’m not Ridge or Brandon.”
In other words, those words had no effect on him.
Nathalie was really annoyed. She just wanted to know what Emanuel’s deal was – did he not want to see her or something? She pouted and said, “I tell you the truth and you don’t believe me, so forget it.”
Nathalie wasn’t a pushover. When she was happy, she could be very charming, but when things didn’t go her way, she had a temper and wouldn’t bother trying to please anyone.
She realized that there was nothing she could do about Emanuel. He never seemed happy no matter what she did. So Nathalie decided not to waste any more of her energy on him. When Emanuel saw how upset Nathalie was getting, he looked remorseful.
He didn’t mean it that way at all but ended up making things worse for himself by being too clever by half. The air grew quiet again as Nathalie became unhappy and stopped talking altogether.
After a long silence, Emanuel asked her, “What are you going to do?”
Nathalie paused for a moment before saying, “Make her apologize on Twitter! If she wants attention so badly, then let’s give it to her once and for all!”
During training camp, this girl came crawling up to Nathalie begging for forgiveness after badmouthing
Veronica and Niamh behind their backs while also spreading rumors about Nathalie herself. She played both sides against each other without any remorse whatsoever even after being exposed for who she truly was.
Nathalie couldn’t stand people like that so she just ignored her completely until now when she was trying once again cause trouble.
It was clear that this girl had an ulterior motive. She wanted that Nathalie as a roommate or best friend would make the perfect image in entertainment industry circles, whether true or false. That was why
Nathalie refused outright from the beginning. Only someone foolish would think she could manipulate someone like Nathalie who had always been independent since childhood.
Emanuel said, “You don’t have to meet with her if you don’t want. We can spare your eyes from seeing such filth.”
This made Nathalie feel better because if it weren’t for innocent people involved in this mess, then she wouldn’t have bothered dealing with this girl at all!
But still Nathalie wondered where exactly did Emanuel take care of everything? So without hesitation,
Nathalie asked him directly.
Emanuel replied, “The factory in the western suburbs.”
Nathalie remained silent, suspecting that this was typical of the Knight family.
However, her suspicion only grew stronger the next moment.
“Why did you bring me here?” Nathalie asked Emanuel in confusion.
“I wanted to see you,” Emanuel said simply.
Nathalie was stunned and couldn’t believe what she had just heard. She stared at Emanuel for a long time and confirmed that he was serious about his expression. Nathalie felt like a genius because she could tell from his wooden face that there were changes in his expression. However, this realization left her even more confused. Why did Emanuel seem so abnormal today?
She tentatively asked him, “Are you saying that you missed me?”
“Mhmm,” came a soft sound. If Nathalie hadn’t been staring at Emanuel, she wouldn’t have been sure if she had actually heard his voice.
However, this only made Nathalie more confused.
She just felt strange, very strange.
Nathalie said, “So when I said I missed you earlier, you still responded like that.”
She was already feeling defeated.
How could there be someone that Nathalie couldn’t win over? This was outrageous!
Emanuel replied, “You’re like that with everyone. I don’t know if what you say is true or false.”
Nathalie remained silent.
So it was her fault now?
“I believe that I’ve never lied to you before. Why do you have such a bias against me?” Nathalie finally spoke up again.
Emanuel didn’t say anything but just gazed deeply into Nathalie’s face.
It made her uncomfortable and she turned away but could still feel his gaze on her back. It seemed like even stronger emotions were emanating from Emanuel’s eyes than before and landing on the back of
Nathalie’s head.
Nathalie didn’t know how to describe this eerie feeling she had right now. But at this moment, all she wanted to say was for him not to look at her like that anymore because it really made her uncomfortable.
There were some things she shouldn’t think too much about; the more she thought about them, the harder they became to deal with. Like right now for instance.
Nathalie could sense something special in Emanuel’s gaze but refused to believe it as nonsense.
However telling herself so did not change anything as deep down inside herself, there was an awareness of something different happening between them which made facing Emanuel even harder.
Just then Emanuel asked, “You really haven’t dated him?”
This question almost drove Nathalie crazy!
She glared at Emanuel and retorted, “I told you before! If we were dating, then I would’ve announced it on Twitter!”
As soon as these words left her mouth though, Nathalie caught sight of a flash of anger in Emanuel’s eyes.
Nathalie involuntarily shrunk her neck and said, “Why do you care so much? It’s not strange for me to be in a relationship now, is it?”
Emanuel didn’t speak, but stared straight at Nathalie.
Nathalie was getting numb from Emanuel’s gaze on her face. She surrendered and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Can you please stop looking so serious? I shouldn’t have spoken out of turn. There is absolutely no relationship between him and me. If there will be any future connection between us, it might only be for business purposes or maybe he’ll come work for Uncle Miles in the future. As far as our personal relationship goes, there isn’t one.”
Emanuel asked, “Are you telling me all this because you’re afraid that I’ll go after him?”
Nathalie was completely defeated by Emanuel.
She raised both hands up in surrender.
“Emanuel,” Nathalie said pleadingly, “I beg of you! There really isn’t anything going on between him and me. If there’s something that bothers you about this situation, just tell me directly instead of taking it out on him. He really is innocent here! We can’t bully honest people like that.”
Emanuel lightly responded with a “hmm” which meant he agreed to what she had said.
Nathalie breathed a sigh of relief. Even if her father went after Billy, she wasn’t scared anymore because the guy standing right before her was truly terrifying.
However, Nathalie still couldn’t understand why Emanuel cared so much about this matter.
In fact, Nathalie couldn’t possibly not understand. She had the answer in her heart, but she couldn’t say it or ask about it. At least not now.
Turning her head, Nathalie suddenly felt a little lost. She could sense something, but she didn’t understand why.
The air seemed to freeze again and for a moment Nathalie didn’t know what to do. Should she leave?
But that would be like getting rid of him as soon as he had done his job. She wasn’t that kind of person.
But sitting here with Emanuel and not saying anything was really getting on her nerves.
