Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
She never thought Jensen would stoop so low! Although Natalie told herself that whatever Jensen became had nothing to do with her anymore, suddenly hearing such a thing still made her feel that her five years of love and youth had been a waste. A man like this wasn't even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Baron! Jensen's face turned white with anger when he heard Yulia, and then paler still when he heard Natalie's question. He scrambled to explain. "No, Natalie, don't listen to her nonsense. I did come today for a Luke Corp order, but I have absolutely no interest in her. This widow sleeps around; she's been entangled with who knows how many men. You know me, I'm a germaphobe. How could I possibly get involved with a woman like that?" Hearing Jensen say this, Yulia laughed. "Oh, Mr. Jensen? Does this mean that as long as I don't sleep around with other men, you'll agree to be my bed partner?" "Shut up!" Jensen wished he could sew Yulia's mouth shut. How could this woman be so shameless? "Natalie, listen to me..." Jensen anxiously tried to explain, instinctively reaching for Natalie's hand, but she dodged him. "Mr. Jensen, I'm really not interested in your private life. My apologies, I'll let you two talk. I'm leaving." Natalie turned to go. "Natalie!""My, my, Mr. Jensen, what are you doing? Such a great beauty is standing right in front of you, why are you so shy? As long as you serve me well, how about I give you as many orders as you want?" Yulia stepped in front of Natalie before Jensen could, grabbing his hand and giving him a outrageously flirtatious look. Natalie genuinely shuddered, then quickly left the scene. "Natalie!" By the time Jensen tried to block Natalie again, he had already lost his chance. He could only watch helplessly as Natalie disappeared from his sight. "Yulia, are you insane?" Jensen violently threw Yulia's hand off. If he could, he would have loved to kill this crazy woman, but he couldn't afford to offend the Gunn family right now. Yulia was right about one thing: as long as she was the young miss of the Gunn family, he, Jensen, couldn't do anything to her. The shareholders at Luke Corp had somehow caught wind that he wasn't a biological child of the Luke family. Although it was just a rumor and no one dared say it to his face, the shareholders had been restless lately, secretly contacting the side branches of the Luke family. Jensen knew he had to secure a major deal right now to stabilize his position in both the Luke family and the company. As long as the Luke family needed him, even if the truth about his parentage came out, no one could take the position of Luke Corp's CEO from him. And Yulia's order was the key factor in whether he could solidify his footing. But Jensen never imagined Natalie would see this and misunderstand him. "Yulia, we clearly have only a business relationship and nothing more. Why did you have to say that in front of Natalie?"Jensen's chest ached with anger. This woman was completely deranged! Seeing him seething, Yulia only smiled more brightly. "Did I say something wrong? I am interested in you. And whether or not this deal goes to you really does depend on your attitude toward me, doesn't it? Jensen, we're all adults. There's no need to be so coy about the things that happen between men and women, right?" Yulia's smile was still dripping with charm, but Jensen saw that there was no mirth in her eyes. "What exactly do you want?" Jensen took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions. Seeing him regain his composure, Yulia thought a little more highly of him. "To be able to force yourself to calm down at a time like this... it seems Mr. Jensen is quite a character. Fine. As long as Mr. Jensen agrees to stop pestering Natalie and finds a woman of comparable family status to marry soon, completely cutting off any thoughts of Natalie, I'll give you the order. I'll give you as many orders as you want. How about it?" Hearing Yulia say this, Jensen's eyes narrowed. "Are you and Natalie friends?" "No. Today was the first time we met." Yulia's answer made Jensen's brow furrow. "Then why are you telling me not to pester Natalie? What do you know about the history between us?" "I'm not interested in your history, nor do I want to know. I just know you were together for five years, and in the end, Mr. Jensen dumped her for a 'crush' and even left her to nearly die in a fire. Now, Mr. Jensen regrets it, feels she's his true love, and wants to win her back. But alas, Mr. Jensen, not everyone will stand in the same place waiting for you. Groveling to win your wife back isn't always successful. There's also the possibility of the 'second male lead' getting the girl, isn't there?"
