Chapter 144

“Alexei!” Chloe couldn’t help but call out to him.

Only then did Alexei realize Chloe hadn’t left yet.

He wiped Natasha’s mouth, picked up the sketchbook she had moved from the sofa and dropped on the floor, then carefully cleaned it. He said coldly to Chloe, “Ms. Westwood, it’s inappropriate to have lunch with an engaged man.”

He looked at Shawn. “Don’t let any unethical practices affect the Turner Group in the future.”

Shawn suppressed his smile, then coughed. “Yes, Mr. Turner!”

“Ms. Westwood,” he respectfully gestured to Chloe to leave, but his gaze was dangerous.

Chloe realized that if she continued to make a fool of herself here, Shawn might

use a more forceful method to remove her.

The document in her hand was crumpled. She awkwardly glanced at the man and woman who were still clinging together.

Natasha, comfortably attended to by the man Chloe could never reach, still wore that clear, innocent, yet annoying expression. She had already won completely.

Chloe closed her eyes.

The clicking of high heels faded into the distance. Shawn immediately instructed the front desk to blacklist Chloe.

Once the office door closed again, Natasha lay on Alexei’s back, tugging his ear. “Mr. Turner, you’re quite popular. So many people like you.”

Alexei felt wronged, Clearly, Natasha was the true magnet for admirers. But he didn’t dare say it.

He could only defend himself, saying, “I don’t know her well.”

Natasha insisted on blaming him. “I don’t care. It’s your fault. Why are you so handsome and charming?”

Alexei couldn’t help but smile.

She was jealous and praising him. He found her too adorable. Outsiders wouldn’t find him charming.

He pulled his mischievous fiancée into his arms. “Okay, it’s my fault. From now on, I will only seek your affection.”

Natasha’s dark eyes darted around. “So, tell me, how should I punish you?”

Alexei kissed her face. “I’ll listen to you.”

Natasha’s true intentions became clear, and she instantly became smug. “Then you’re banned from my bed for two weeks.”

Alexei covered her mouth, looking at her with a half–smile. “Darling, do you think that’s possible?”

Natasha pouted, wrapped her arms around his neck, and playfully whined, “Maybe! How about we reduce it by a week?”

The jealousy was feigned. Negotiating terms was her real goal.

Alexei was too intense. Every night, Natasha endured an aching back and weak legs, staying up past midnight. If this continued, she feared she would eventually suffer from exhaustion.

“Promise me, promise me,” she said, shaking his neck.

Alexei restrained Natasha thrashing in his arms and kissed her hand. “You can rest tonight.”

Natasha struggled free from his embrace and collapsed onto the sofa. “Let’s call it quits. There’s no love left.”

Alexei leaned down and kissed her. “It’s okay, I have love, and I’ll share it with you.”

Although partly to annoy Chloe, Natasha and Alexei did plan to have lunch at the Turner Group cafeteria.

Unlike Chloe, who was genuinely pampered and spoiled throughout her upbringing, Alexei and Natasha were not spoiled individuals.

Moreover, the Turner Group’s cafeteria was renowned for its excellence. The dining area alone spanned three to four floors, offered a wide array of delicacies, and the chefs there had all been hired after passing rigorous assessments.

What Chloe disdained as unworthy of her status was coveted by many.

The news of Alexei accompanying his wife to the cafeteria for a meal spread like wildfire throughout the entire building.

Alexei had brought Natasha to make an appearance, and he did not try to stop the gossip.

When Natasha led Alexei to the cafeteria, she saw a whole group of Turner Group employees staring at her with intense gazes.

It was fortunate they knew Alexei was stingy, so they didn’t dare to be too direct. Otherwise, that scene would be quite terrifying.

Natasha greeted them with a generous smile. Alexei, uncharacteristically, softened his usual cold demeanor and did not mind their scrutiny.

The executives gathered in the cafeteria were deeply moved. They now understood what Shawn meant that Alexei had changed.

It turned out that “Miss Clark,” who once helped them out of tough situations, was not a relative of Alexei, but their future madam.

Even their surnames were a perfect match. A family destined to be,

No one wished more for the two to stay together forever. Ever since Alexei started dating, their lives had become much easier.

More holidays, less overtime, reduced stress, and even the air seemed fresher.

Some bolder individuals directly approached Natasha to recommend foods they

:

If Natasha nodded, Alexei would go to great lengths.

Everyone had never seen Alexei so approachable and gentle, and they all secretly chuckled.

They wished all workaholic bosses in the world could find love.

Outside the harmonious cafeteria, messages in the employee group chat were quickly piling up to 99+.

[I heard Shawn ordered Ms. Westwood to be blocked today! What a relief!]

[She was so arrogant, thinking she could win over Mr. Turner anytime. Today she ran into his actual fiancée. Serves her right!]

[Mrs. Turner is so much better. I can’t even imagine Miss Westwood becoming Mrs. Turner; life would be miserable. A few days ago, she even tried to bribe the secretarial department to spy for her. I just laughed. With Miss Clark around, Mr. Turner practically watches himself, right?]

[Hey, doesn’t Mr. Turner have any dignity?]

[Mr. Turner doesn’t care about his image?]

[Listen, don’t get carried away. Who remembers this is the main company group chat?]
