''I am a human being. Can you be a little respectful? And I am legally married to Thomas, he left this house for me. I don't care what you say, I won't allow myself to be easily bullied and if you want to stay here, then, you should be the one living by rules and not me''

Mikael smirked, ''brilliant. I love the fact that you're finally revealing your claws and not acting like a white lotus whenever you're in front of my mother''

Natalie gasped, ''what? Whi… white lotus? Hey!!!''

''Yes. I don't know what my brother saw in you and what you hid from him but I intend to find out everything about you while I live here. And that includes what exactly you told my brother before he boarded the plane that killed him''

Natalia clasps her hands on her laps tightly feeling nervous, ''we had a normal conversation and for the second time I don't have anything to do with Thomas' death. I more than anyone wants to know what actually happened and why it had to be him who died. I would appreciate it if you don't mention your brother's death so casually in front of me again'' Natalia looked at the clock and stood up, ''I'm getting late for work''

''You mean your date with the CEO of your company?'' Mikael mocked her.

Natalie took the paper and looked at him, ''I will look at this over and whatever I find unfair I will cross it and then we can talk about living arrangements after that'' Natalie went into her room. She sat down and applied some moisturiser on her face and applied a little makeup and changed into the blue lilac flowered dress with puffy hands. She picked a black tote bag and blue lined sunglasses before going out.

Mikael was preparing his breakfast when Natalie stepped out of her room. He looked stunned the moment he saw her and couldn't take his eyes of her. his gaze followed her until she got to the porch and changed into her black high heels and went out.

''What was that?'' he murmured and screamed, 'is she going to meet that CEO dressed like that… so prettily?''

Mikael hurried to the glass window and looked outside and saw her kicking her foot in the air before walking over to the car that had already packed outside, 'tsk, he even came early to pick her up. William Yun, you didn't see any woman to go after. It was my sister in law?'' he smirked as a thought came to his mind, ''well, you won't be having a nice date because I will spoil it''

William opened the door for Natalie as he looked at her. She looked not just beautiful but elegant. Far from the woman who dressed formerly to work each day. He smiled and closed the door before going over to the driver's seat.

''You look so beautiful today, Miss Jun''

''Thank you. I didn't want to make people look down on you since Amy is always elegant. I wanted to at least look the part''

''And you do, without even trying'' William looked at her and smiled before starting the car.

City Hall Library.

William pulled over and got down. He went to the other side and opened the door for Natalie. He curled his hand and took in Natalie's hand and they walked in.

When they entered, Natalie looked at the place and smiled. She felt a sense of familiarity which made her stop involuntary.

''Are you alright?'' William asked when he noticed that her hand had clenched around his arm.

''I'm fine. I just feel a sense of déjà vu''

''Like you've been here before, right?''

''Yes, but I don't remember coming here before''

''Look over there, the woman signing the books and taking pictures with the people is the one we are here for today. She is a difficult person so you have to find a way to convince her to work with us''

''Huh? Me? You didn't tell me I was the one to convince her?''

''Did I not? I thought I did'' William gave her an innocent look.

''Sir… no William, I can't convince her. She looks scary just from a distance''

''You can feel that too, right? Wow… that woman scares me all the time''

''But who is she?''

''Don't you know her? She is a famous writer working under your brother in law's agency. She is the writer of the drama they are currently airing right now. Her name is Laura Forson''

Natalie looked at William seriously as he spoke about the writer.

''Oh, isn't that your brother in law, Mikael Sun?''

Natalie turned at once and saw Mikael walking towards the writer with two men guarding him from the crowd that were screaming his name.

''What is he doing here?'' Natalie frowned.

''Are you and him close? I heard he is staying permanently here, is it true?''

''Well, I heard it''

William looked at Natalie and smiled, ''are you afraid of your brother in law?''

''No. why should I be afraid of him? Let's go'' Natalie said and took the lead, walking in front of him.

''Wait for me'' William hurried to catch up to her.

''What brings the great MK to my humble book signing?'' Laura asked as she stood with him taking pictures.

''I came to support my company's artiste but it seems that my presence is not welcomed here''

''No, wait. I'm happy that you are here but I see your sister in law with William Yun over there''

''She works at his company and I'm guessing they came to see you''

''I heard from my manager that they want me to write an appraisal for their company's jewellery. I don't know how he found out that I was a jewellery appraiser''

''So, are you going to take it?''

''That depends on what my boss says, right?'' Laura said and smiled as she looked at Mikael. Her gaze was soft and carried a lot of feelings.

Natalie leaned against one of the shelves and watched them curiously. She folded her arms across her chest and furrowed her brows.

''They seem to be close, but her eyes… is she in love with Mikael secretly? Well, he is a handsome man''

''Here, something refreshing to drink before going to them'' William handed a popsicle to Natalie.

''A popsicle, are you a kid?''

''Are popsicles meant for only kids?''

''Not exactly. I haven't taken this in a long time'' Natalie took the popsicle and was about to bit into it when someone snatched it from her. She immediately raised her head and cursed before seeing Mikael.

''Who… you?'' Natalie looked at him, 'why are you eating my… my popsicle?''

''I haven't had these in a long time'' Mikael eat the popsicle as he stood next to Natalie naturally. He didn't mind that the atmosphere had become awkward.'

''Hi, Mr. Sun. I am…''

''I know who you are. Mr. Yun, son of Janice Yun and current CEO of Janice Jewellery'' Mikael said cutting William off.

''I see. Miss Forson'' William turned to Laura who was beside Mikael.

''Hi, Mr. Yun. I got word that you came to see me?''

''Yes, I came here with my trusted employee to have a little chat with you''

''Hi, Miss Jun, this is our first-time meeting. I told Mikael to let me meet with you but he is one stubborn man. I hope he isn't making things difficult for you?'' Laura asked and Natalie smiled half-heartedly and frowned slightly.

''Since you came here to talk with her, I will leave you to do that. Natalie, help me pick a book from the romance section''

''Why should I? It's not like I'm your assistant'' Natalie said and pouted her lips. William and Laura chuckled.

''Just come with me. Laura have a nice time chatting with Mr. Yun''

''I prefer being called William''

''I don't care'' Mikael said and held Natalie's hand, ''let's go, sister in law'' he said and pulled her away.

''Mikael can sometimes be a little difficult to understand, I hope you don't mind? He isn't a rude person''

''I don't mind. Anyone in his shoes will be arrogant. He is the youngest CEO in this country and also a successful actor but of course, that is because you write the most intriguing stories'' William's gaze followed Natalie as she walked away with Mikael.

''So, Mr. Yun, how may I help you?'' Laura asked, making him turn his gaze towards her.

Natalie pouted her lips and folded her arms with her bag hanging leisurely as she followed behind Mikael. Her steps were unhurried.

''Are you a snail, why are you taking forever to walk to me?'' Mikael stopped and asked her.

''What are you up to? Did you come here to monitor me?'' Natalie asked and squirted at her eyes narrowly at him with suspicion.

''Yes''

''Huh?''

''I came to monitor you and make sure that you are not cheating''

''Cheating on who?''
