My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 504

Natalie froze at the spot.

Before she could fully grasp the meaning of Tobias's words, his long legs strode forward. Natalie could only follow behind him hastily.

After arriving at the president's office, the atmosphere of the large space suddenly seemed more pressuring than usual. Natalie lowered her head and stood in front of Tobias like a student waiting to be punished.

"Something went wrong with the contract?" Tobias broke the silence, asking in a gentle tone.

Natalie nodded, shame visible in her eyes, "Mr. Whitlock, I know that I've caused a huge loss for the company. I, I..."

She did not know what else to say. What's done is done, and it was indeed her fault.

A moment later she lifted her head, eyes brimming with shiny tears, "Why not just fire me?"

"Will firing you make up for the loss the company has to suffer?" Tobias's deep eyes were locked on Natalie. "Natalie, tell me, how do you plan to compensate for this loss?"

She bit down hard on her lower lip.

Truth be told, she had no idea at all. It was the first time she encountered such a sum in her life.

A whopping hundred million dollars - even if she was sold off, she would not be worth that much.

Feeling Tobias's fixed gaze on her, Natalie felt even antsier, her anxiety rising with each ticking minute.

She could not think of any way that she could compensate for her mistake.

The long pause was killing her. Close to tears, she started, "Mr. Whitlock, I really don't know what to do. Even if you sold me off, I won't be worth that much money. Why don't you just send me to jail?" Tobias's fingers lightly tapped on the desk as he leaned against it, replying coolly, "Who said you're not worth that much?"

Natalie was taken aback.

Tobias raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Natalie, you're worth a lot. You're not worth a hundred million, you're a priceless treasure."

She wiped her red eyes, not understanding what he meant.

"Come here." Tobias said to Natalie.

Natalie walked over and stood in front of him.

"Natalie, would you like to repay the company?" A dark light glinted in Tobias's eyes.

Natalie nodded furiously, her head nodding up and down like a bobblehead doll.

As long as there was a way to make up for the losses, she was fine with doing anything at all -even it meant scaling a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames. Tobias pondered silently for a moment.

"Natalie, there's a job that you could try. The salary is high enough for you to cover the company's losses."

A flash of doubt popped up in Natalie's mind.

What kind of job would pay such a high salary?

She had a momentary thought, and her face instantly turned pale.

"Boss, you can't possibly want me to..." Natalie's eyes reddened again.

"Want you to what?" Tobias glanced at Natalie.

"You don't mean selling me off as an adult model to cover for the losses, do you?" Natalie asked with a little difficulty, choking on sobs.

Apart from that job, Natalie could not think of any other line of work that could afford to pay what the company has lost.

"My son needs someone to take care of him. Natalie, why don't you be his babysitter? Your salary will be treated as compensation for the company's losses." Tobias said in a deep voice.

Natalie took a taxi home.

She felt faint and light-headed.

How could such a major crisis be resolved so easily?

Not only did she not need to go to jail, but also spared the losses too. All it took was for her to be a child's nanny?

Besides, when did Mr. Whitlock have a son?

Natalie scratched her head. She had never heard such news before. Was it not rumored that Mr. Whitlock does not even have a woman by his side?

Not to mention, where was the child's mother? Why was she taking care of him instead of the mother?

But it did not take long before Natalie understood.

Since Mr. Whitlock was gay, perhaps the child was conceived by a surrogate, so he did not have a mother at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Natalie finally came to a conclusion.

Although she was not used to babysitting, at least she did not have to worry about paying that huge sum of money. As soon as she reached home, Natalie began to pack up her clothes.

Because the big boss had said that she had to be a live-in nanny, and today would officially be her first day of work. This also meant that from this day onwards, she was going to have to stay in the big boss' house.

Natalie was slightly overcome with nerves.

She did not know what his house was like, or if he would be completely different from how he was in the office.

The more she thought about it, the more dizzy she became.

Giving herself a heavy pat on the head, she told herself not to think too much about it.

As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." She only had to take care of a child. There was nothing to worry about, so she might as well make the best of the situation. Natalie did not own that many clothes, so it only took her a short while to finish packing up.

She made a phone call to Yvonne, wanting to tell her that she would not be staying in the apartment for a period of time as she was going to be a nanny.

Not knowing how long the big boss wanted her to be a nanny, she felt quite reluctant to leave Yvonne behind.

However, the call did not get through. Just as Natalie was about to call again, her phone rang.

It was Remington.

"Natalie, what are you up to?" His voice was particularly laid-back.

Natalie licked her dry lips.

She considered Remington as one of her friends, so she decided to let him know about her situation.

"Remington, I'm going to be a nanny, I'm going to be taking care of a child." Natalie said.

She then told him everything.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

"Where are you? I'm coming to see you." He abruptly answered, this time with a hint of seriousness in his voice that lacked its usual cynical touch.

And so Natalie told him that she was at home.

Twenty minutes later, Remington's arrived at Natalie's apartment.

Natalie took her packed bag downstairs and got into the car.

"Remington, could you please send me there?" Natalie asked.

She did not think much about her request.

Remington did not reply, and the atmosphere in the car was inexplicably daunting.

Natalie sat there, puzzled.

She glanced at him, "Remington, what's the matter?"

Remington finally opened his mouth, "I'll give you the hundred million dollars to resign from YS immediately."

Natalie was stunned.

Although she knew that Remington must have that sum of money, she had no intentions of accepting.

After all, the both of them were only friends. Why should Remington pay for her mistakes?

What's more, she had already troubled him so many times, and she did not wish to bother him time and time again.

"No, it's not necessary. I can't take your money."

Natalie refused hastily.

"You must." Remington fixed his gaze on Natalie's face.

Natalie continued to refuse, "You really don't have to, and I've already promised Tobi-"

Before she could finish, Remington's hands were suddenly gripping at her chin.

He was using quite a lot of strength, and Natalie felt a burst of pain.

Eyes widening, she stared at him in shock.

Remington's gaze had always been dull and impassive, but at that moment, they held an alarming note of harshness.

"Natalie, you still care about Tobias, don't you?" his voice was a little rough.

Natalie's breathing stopped.

She did not understand what Remington meant. And when she looked into his eyes, it startled her even more.

The look on his face was pure agitation, which she never expected.

"Remington, take your hand away. My chin hurts." cried Natalie while trying to pry away his hand that was holding onto her chin.
