Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 370

Natalia kept it in for as long as she could but still laughed. “What kind of jealousy even is this? I don’t even know what they look like. Besides, I had no intention of taking something this valuable. I’m going to investigate their identity and give it back.”

Archie scoffed yet again.

Natalia could only soothe him with gentle words. Thankfully, he wasn’t really angry. He was just sour over his own woman getting chased by another man.

Finally, Natalia managed to settle him. Archie continued, “You don’t have any shooting to do tomorrow, don’t you?”

Natalia froze, thought about it, and it really seemed like she hadn’t.

Archie said, “Come to the office and keep me company.”

Natalia reflexively refused.

“But you need to work…”

“I only have the one meeting tomorrow morning, and I’m spending the rest of the day in my office. Just stay by my side.”

Natalia hesitated, thought of the fact that she’d been busy filming for a while and hadn’t been with him too much, so she agreed.

The following day, Natalia gave Rosa a holiday and took Nancy with her, driving straight to the HQ of McCarthy Properties.

Everyone in the office knew her, so they weren’t surprised to see her walk in with Nancy in tow, greeting her respectfully one and all.

Natalia took the executive elevator straight upstairs to Archie’s office. Nancy didn’t follow her in and went to have some tea in the secretary room.

Natalia pushed inside.

Because Archie had told them about it, everyone knew Natalia was coming over today, so they didn’t stop her from pushing the door open and going in.

When Natalia went in, Archie was having a video call meeting overseas.

This was probably the morning meeting he’d told her about over the phone yesterday.

Natalia didn’t disturb him. She met his eyes briefly and signed for him to continue while she sat down casually on the sofa.

Brian walked in soon, with her favorite milk tea and magazine.

Brian had a complete file and what Natalia liked to eat, drink, and do.

In this day and age, a good assistant wasn’t just supposed to serve his boss well, but most importantly, to look after their boss’ missus properly.

Brian knew that, so when Archie’s gaze swept over Natalia’s tea and magazine, his eyes registered satisfaction.

Not long after Natalia sat down, Archie’s conference call ended.

He stood, walked over, bent down and kissed her forehead, his voice gentle. “Sit a while. After I’m done with this end, I’ll take you for a meal.”

Natalia smiled and nodded.

After that, Archie buried his nose back in his work.

Natalia might have been coming to keep him company, but she didn’t keep him company that much.

Just because the man was so busy.

All throughout the morning, he kept taking call after call, and discussing work matters after summoning the heads of each department of the company.

The department managers came in and saw Natalia sitting on the sofa. Each of them was curious. After all, they knew that Natalia was the CEO’s wife, but they’d rarely seen the two together with their own eyes.

Still, before Archie, they didn’t dare show it.

They made their reports and left.

Natalia, though, was feeling uncomfortable at all the curious glances they were sneaking at her.

Thankfully, the morning itself was short and passed soon enough.

Archie gave himself a rare holiday, going to have fun with her instead of working in the afternoon.

Natalia was naturally glad.

It wasn’t that she wanted to have fun, but this man was just such a workaholic that he rarely got any rest. He was tired out.

It was good to have a chance to relax.

So, in the afternoon, they went out for lunch and strolled around the streets.

Natalia didn’t know if she was imagining it.

She felt like this man was behaving strangely today.

She couldn’t tell where, but he just felt off, as if he was hiding something from her.

For example, after their stroll, he suddenly dragged her back for no reason for a change of clothes.

Whatever, if she was changing, she was changing. For leisure, Natalia liked to dress casually, so she changed into a long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

But the man took one look and frowned, tugging her back to the dressing room and picking a more elaborate blue dress for her to wear.

Natalia was speechless.

But if he wanted her to wear that, she’d wear it.

She didn’t care, If she wasn’t taking her mountain climbing, it didn’t matter if she was in a dress or in pants.

After making her change into a dress, Archie himself changed into a more formal suit.

He even changed his daily office tie into a black bow tie.

Natalia almost thought he was going to attend someone’s wedding.

She might laugh, but she did find that with the man’s appearance, he looked good in anything. He was practically a walking coatrack. Getting to lay eyes on someone like this every day, she felt her own standards of beauty rise considerably.

After changing, the two went out the door.

At night, Archie outright refused Anne’s fussing about coming over to find Mommy now that she had today off, and kept it in their own little world.

The two arrived at a nearby holiday resort.

Pinewood Manor was well and good, but Archie felt that having lived there for a while, with all the servants they had in the house, it had lost a bit of its romance.

And the resort had been opened by one of Max’s friends. It was the sort of private resort with a quiet environment and not many people knew about it, so didn’t come even if they were rich.

The wine here was excellent. The owner was a connoisseur, and to have his favorite wines in hand, he’d bought up a vineyard in Othua and planted grapes himself, getting entirely involved in the winemaking process. So even if the years weren’t high, the taste was great.

It was the first time Natalia had come here and she found it all very new and exciting.

The moment the wine came up, it only took one sip for her to notice the difference.

“What a nice vintage. It’s bitter the moment it hits the tongue, but the aftertaste is sweet. It’s so good. How did they make it?”

Archie sat across her, chuckling, “I can’t answer that question, but if you like it, we can just buy up the formula.”

Natalia froze, then shook her head.

“Never mind. It’s something they put that much effort into making, only for us to take a sip out of interest. There’s no need to go so far.”

Archie smiled.

He’d just been saying that. After all, he knew that Natalia wouldn’t do that.

She always treated others as she would have liked to be treated, and respected the fruits of others’ labor. She couldn’t have ever forced someone to sell off their methods for her own desires.

The two drink and chatted, the atmosphere soft and relaxing.
