His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1939

"I was just asking, but I know what kind of a person you are. Once you set your mind to something, no one can change your mind," Dean said and continued after a pause, "Giving this a try isn't that bad. Even if you fail, everything will simply remain the same. Elliot wouldn't fire you "

"Who knows? He only set this target for me so that I would give up. I am too stubborn, and I enjoy proving my worth, so I won't regret it even if I fail in the end."

"I do admire your perseverance, Natalie."

"I admire you, too, Dean. I personally think that you are just as talented as Elliot."

"Don’t say that! I can't hold a candle to him! " Dean gaped and glanced around. "Natalie, you mustn't say things like that!" "This is my office, Dean, you don't have to worry. I only said so because I know word won't get out," Natalie said just in time for the assistant to return with the tea.

Natalie accepted the tea and asked the assistant to leave.

Dean looked over at Natalie after the door was closed.

"Are you upset with Elliot because he is back together with Avery?"

Natalie focused intently on the teapot in her hand and steeped the tea lazily.

"You've underestimated me, Dead. I might be a bit sad that Elliot hasn't fallen for me, but I'm not blind," she said calmly. "There are plenty of things in the world that offer more meaning than romance and marriage. If I can't find the right person to marry, perhaps finding a compatible ally wouldn't be that bad as well." "Oh?"

"Dean, I'm not sure if you have heard the rumors circling around lately." Natalie handed Dean his cup of tea.

"What rumors?"

"It's about Elliot." She poured another cup and set it before him. "I heard that something happened to Elliot."

"My friend in Ylore told me about it. My friend happens to be staying in the same hotel as Elliot, he said that the police showed up," she explained. "It's been a few days since I heard that and I'm getting a really bad feeling that I haven't been able to reach Elliot up until now."
