Chapter 557 Busted
Natalie looked out at the balcony and said aloud, “That won’t be necessary. I’m not interested in that. I’m going to leave right now. Please don’t follow me.” Then Natalie walked away from Harry, shutting the door loudly
When Tammy and Alicia noticed that Natalie left, they both breathed a sigh of relief. And they climbed quickly to the next balcony before Harry came there to check on Fiona
“Thank God Natalie didn’t…” As she stood on the balcony, Alicia saw Natalie. Stunned, she stopped talking, not knowing what to say to save herself from the awkward situation
“We definitely can’t tell… Natalie?!” Tammy said. At the sight of Natalie, Tammy almost fell off the balcony
“What a COINCIDENCE!” Natalie waved at them awkwardly, frowning
“Hello,” Alicia and Tammy said at the same time
Then, the three of them stood on the balcony looking at Fiona, who was leaning unconsciously against the next balcony’s corner
“You just let her stay there? It’s getting cold! What if she freezes to death?” Natalie asked
“Chill, Natalie. She’ll be fine. Harry will come out to see her later
Come on. We need to go now,” Tammy replied
Then Alicia frowned and said, “But Harry didn’t seem too interested in her, even though she got such a good figure. I don’t think he will look for her.”
“What time is it?” Tammy asked
“It’s 8:30. It has been five minutes since Natalie left the room, but Harry still didn’t go to the balcony,” Alicia replied
“Why don’t we drag her into the room? She’s barely wearing any clothes.” Tammy suggested, bent down and grabbed Fiona’s arms, trying to drag her to the room
Hearing that, Natalie and Alicia both looked at Tammy at the same time and remained still. “Why are you all staring at me? Don’t just stand there! Do you expect me to drag her into the room all by myself? Give me a hand, would you?” Tammy asked, surprised
Sighing, Alicia and Natalie helped Tammy drag Fiona, even though they were reluctant to do so. And the three of them struggled to get Fiona into the room as they lifted her up
After finally making it to the room, Alicia said, panting.”Guys, I have a question.”
“What is it? Why is she so heavy, by the way? She looks skinny! But even the three of us have difficulty in carrying her into the room,” Tammy said with a pout
Alicia paused to catch her breath. “Since Harry’s gone, why didn’t we go through the front door?” she asked
At that time, Tammy had already sat down on the couch for a break
She then snatched the water from Natalie’s grasp and drank it. “But what if he’s still there?” she asked
“Nah. I’m sure he left.”
However, to their surprise, the next second, they heard the sound of footsteps. Instantly, the girls froze as they noticed Harry standing in the doorway to the bathroom
“What the hell?! You… you didn’t leave?!” Natalie screamed in horror
Because Harry was so tall, his head nearly touched the door frame. He first looked at Fiona, who was lying on the carpet, then at Natalie and the two girls behind her. “You didn’t leave either, did you?” he asked Natalie with a hint of teasing
“I, [don’t know them,” Natalie said, her face slightly twitching
“There you are. I’ve been looking for you for ages. You guys nearly scared the hell out of me, you know? Thank goodness you’re safe and sound,” Suddenly, Matthew’s voice came from the door. Hearing that, all of them turned around and looked at Matthew in surprise. Then they followed Matthew and returned to the hall. On the way, none of them uttered a word out of embarrassment. Following that, they were seated at a large table near the window
“I’m sorry, but my sister is always like this,” Taking a sip of the tea, Matthew said to Harry apologetically Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“So, this young lady turns out to be your sister. Then who’s the girl sitting next to her?” Harry asked, eyeing Alicia
“She’s my sister’s friend,” Matthew replied for Alicia, who was nervous under Harry’s gaze
“Hello, girls,” Harry said with a nod
Extremely embarrassed, Alicia asked Tammy in a whisper, “When can we leave?”
“Aren’t you hungry? Don’t you want to eat here?” Tammy said in a low voice
“It’s so embarrassing! I just wanna leave here as soon as possible.”
“Agreed,” Natalie echoed, “So why don’t we eat Thai food later?”
“Great idea!”
“I know a really good Thai restaurant nearby. How about I take you there?” Harry chipped
Hearing that, the girls froze. Then Natalie said with a shake of her head, “No, thanks. We’re leaving now.”
“Are you sure? The food there tastes really good,’ Though rejected, Harry insisted on taking them there, seemingly not wanting to let them go
With a frown, Tammy thought to herself, Why are you treating Natalie like this? What are you up to, Harry? Can’t you see she’s not interested in you at all?
The next moment, Tammy decided to speak her mind out loud, “Harry, I think you’re pretty strange. Can’t you see Natalie isn’t interested in you? Why don’t you leave her alone?”
“She hasn’t gotten to know me better yet. Why are you so sure a light smile
“You’re a divorced man with a kid, remember? And Natalie has never had a boyfriend. Who are you to ask her to be a stepmother to your child? Stop daydreaming!” Tammy slapped the table and snapped, her face blushing because of anger
Right after Tammy finished his words, Harry frowned. Gradually, his face darkened
In embarrassment, Natalie coughed a few times before grabbing Tammy’s arm. She felt Tammy had crossed the line even though that was the truth. Sensing that Natalie was grabbing her arms, Tammy also realized she shouldn’t have said that either. Still, she was determined to run away from the awkward situation, saying, “I’m leaving. Enjoy your meal.”
“Tammy!” Alicia looked at Matthew and Harry apologetically before Sf chasing after Tammy
“I’ll go check on them,” Natalie said, carefully setting aside her fork, “Please don’t take what Tammy personally, Mr. Carter.”
After making this excuse, Natalie also left quickly. Dumbfounded, Harry looked up as they walked away. At the same time. Matthew said nothing. He just calmly raised his champagne glass and clinked glasses with Harry
“You need to work harder, Harry,’ Matthew said
“Yes, I know,” Harry replied with a smile
After leaving the restaurant, Tammy kept running while Natalie was chasing after her, gasping for breath. “Stop running, Tammy!”
“You’re not going to marry him! Promise me!” Still running, Tammy shouted
“Why are you so worried about that? I haven’t even agreed to date him.” “What?! You’re even hesitant about dating him or not?” Looking at Natalie in disbelief, Tammy stopped running and questioned
Alicia couldn’t run as fast as Natalie, so she was left behind. When she noticed them arguing, she stepped in between them. “Chill, guys!”
“Lam chill!” Tammy said, her gaze fixed on Natalie
“OK, we can stop now,” Natalie said as she looked behind Alicia, “No one’s catching up.”
“Hold on… Were you two just acting?” Surprised, Alicia asked
“Yeah! There’s no way for us to get out of there otherwise.” Natalie and Tammy laughed together. Alicia realized they had planned that out at that point
