Jensen left after speaking. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would actually lay hands on Renee. This was Natalie's only best friend, after all. Renee was stunned by Jensen's words. It was true. She had witnessed Natalie's feelings for Jensen over the years. Once, just to make a remedy for Jensen, Natalie had even turned down an invitation from her mentor. She knew better than anyone that her mentor's invitation was meant to propel her career forward, but for Jensen's sake, she had recklessly given it all up. Although Natalie was married to Baron now, Renee had heard it was because Baron had saved her from the fire, disregarding his own life. A debt for saving one's life should be repaid by a promise of marriage. Moreover, Baron clearly adored Natalie. It was entirely possible that Natalie, disappointed in Jensen, had settled for Baron as the next best choice. What if one day she really did have a moment of madness and got back together with Jensen? Wouldn't that make Renee the bad guy for nothing? The more Renee thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She immediately called Natalie. Natalie was standing at the entrance of Grant International Holdings, hesitating about whether to call Baron. She had indeed told Baron to go tend to his own business when she shooed him out that morning. But in Ocean City, apart from knowing he had Grant International Holdings, she didn't know where his other businesses were.What if Baron hadn't come to Grant International Holdings today? Wouldn't it be awkward for her to be here? Just then, Renee's call came through. "What's wrong? Do we need to buy something else for the studio?" Natalie asked instinctively. Renee took a deep breath, then blurted out as if afraid she'd regret hesitating, "Natalie, Jensen just came to the studio looking for you. What? Are you getting back together with him?" Natalie felt a wave of disgust. "What are you talking about? I'm already married. How could I possibly get back together with Jensen? Did he spout some nonsense again? If he comes to the studio again, just have someone throw him out." Hearing Natalie say this, Renee finally felt relieved. "Natalie, are you sure there's absolutely no chance you'll get back together with him?" "Not in this lifetime!" Natalie hung up, but her chest felt tight and uncomfortable. Jensen hadn't cherished her when they were together. Now that she was done with him, he was acting all lovesick. What was that about? Did men only feel a sense of crisis when there was competition? Unfortunately, this was not the kind of love she, Natalie, wanted. The more Natalie thought, the angrier she became. She desperately wanted to see Baron right now.Just then, a slimy hand landed on her shoulder. "Hey, beautiful. All alone? Trying to get into Grant International Holdings? How about I help you out?" The greasy voice made Natalie feel nauseous. "Let go of me!" Natalie's voice was tinged with ice. The man, however, thought she was playing hard to get and leaned his head in closer. "Babe, not just anyone can get into Grant International Holdings. Big brother here works there, and I'm in upper management. If you show me a good time, I guarantee you... Ouch, ouch! Ow, ow, ow!" The man was speaking as his filthy hand started to slide down from Natalie's shoulder. In his eyes, Natalie was just someone he could bully as he pleased. He never expected that his hand had only moved two finger-widths down before Natalie grabbed it, twisted it behind his back, and subdued him. The force immediately made the man howl in pain. Only then did the man get a clear look at Natalie's face. She was this beautiful? Before that lustful look could even fully form in his eyes, Natalie had already bent her knee, lifted her foot, and kicked him straight in his most vulnerable area. "Aaargh—" The man shrieked in agony, curling up like a cooked shrimp. Natalie took the chance to let go. The man clutched his groin, hopping around in pain. His face had changed color, and large drops of cold sweat dripped to the ground. "You rotten bitch! You—" Before he could finish, Natalie cracked her knuckles, her face cold, and took another step toward him. The man scrambled back several steps in fright. "A gentleman doesn't fight with a woman! You just wait!" After yelling, he scurried away, but the direction he fled was not toward Grant International Holdings. Natalie dusted off her hands in disgust. If Baron hadn't insisted on her mastering these few self-defense moves, she really might have been taken advantage of today. Thinking of Baron's reward and punishment system when he taught her, Natalie's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite. Who would have thought that Baron had taught her these self-defense moves during their "discussions" in bed?
