Yuna smiled. "The weather is chilly, and I want to get my chauffeur to pick me up later. My phone's dead, that's all. Don't tell me you don't want to lend me your phone because you're worried I'll use it to do something?"
There was a hint of provocation in her words.
The corners of Natalie's lips twitched.
She straight-up tossed the phone at Yuna.
She wanted to see what kind of trick Yuna had up her sleeves. Would she use her phone to send Tobias a text, making it sound like she wanted to break up with him?
On the contrary, Natalie was rather looking forward to it.
She wanted to see if Tobias trusted her enough, the same way that she trusted him infinitely right now.
Yuna returned the phone to Natalie after a while.
She gave a smirk. "I don't feel like calling my servant anymore. You can leave now."
Natalie was stunned by the sudden change in Yuna's attitude.
She was waiting for Yuna to pull off another great performance, but she ended up giving the phone back to her and asking her to leave.
Was Yuna trying to pull something funny again?
Or maybe she had originally wanted to put on a big show, but had abruptly lost interest.
Yuna continued arrogantly, "You don't have to think too much. There's no other reason for me calling you out here and dismissing you. I just think that you're a servant at my beck and call. A normal girl like yourself is no different than a servant in my eyes."
Her words were full of contempt.
The contempt of an arrogant, wealthy young lady towards an ordinary girl.
Natalie came back to her senses.
Her eyes flashed.
Yuna had already mocked her a few times from the day before until now.
However, Natalie didn't say anything, partly because she didn't want to make things hard for Peter, and partly because Yuna had helped Tobias.
However, that did not mean that she could or would endure it forever.
If she continued to endure this, she would actually be taken as a total pushover!
Natalie spoke as if she was totally unfazed. "I see. I just have to let you know that I'm not so easily ordered around. I've just been lenient on you because of your help towards my husband."
There was a slight change in Yuna's expression.
She tauntingly retorted, "You're calling Tobias your husband now. You really are sure of yourself."
Natalie gave a bright smile. "Yes, I've always been confident. It's one of my strong suits. Do you know why my husband likes me so much? It's because he likes my confidence."
Natalie deliberately referred to Tobias as her husband with the express purpose of making Yuna feel uncomfortable.
Yuna had wanted to embarrass her, so now Natalie wanted her to feel the same.
Three strikes, and you're out. Natalie had reached the end of the line of her patience.
Upon hearing Natalie's words, Yuna's elegant eyebrows knitted together.
She felt like Natalie's dazzling smile was nothing but an eyesore.
"Hmph, confidence is your strong suit. You're really thick-skinned," Yuna mocked.
Natalie suddenly stopped smiling and fixed her gaze on Yuna's face.
It was almost as if she could see right through Yuna.
Yuna's goosebumps rose at Natalie's gaze.
She touched her face subconsciously. "Why do you keep staring at my face?"
