The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 283

The coffee Belle made was just right. Magnus took a few sips, draining half the cup before he nodded approvingly. "Hmm, I trust your work abilities. These proposals are all quite impressive."

Receiving Magnus' praise, Belle gave a small smile. "That's what I'm supposed to do. Thank you for the compliment, Mr. President."

"Hmm," Magnus nodded nonchalantly, handing over the signed documents to Belle, who had been standing and waiting. "Take these."

Belle collected the papers but didn't leave. Instead, she stood there quietly, her focused gaze lingering on Magnus.

"What's the matter? Anything else?" Magnus looked at Belle, confused about why she hadn't left yet.

"Mr. Magnus, I've been with the company for almost three and a half months now, and I'm grateful that you saw potential in me and promoted me to be your assistant. To express my gratitude, may I invite you to dinner tonight?" Belle suddenly turned to Magnus with a smile. Her already charming face was lit up with a brilliant smile.

Magnus was taken aback. "Your promotion was due to your strong work abilities. The company paves the way for the strong. There's no need for that. Just focus on your work."

Belle paused. "I know you adore your wife dearly. But as your employee, I genuinely just wanted to express my gratitude. As for work, I'll definitely work hard!"

Magnus' expression grew stern; he had already gently rejected her, but she wouldn't let it go. He despised clingy women. "Belle, I value your work abilities, and that's why I promoted you. Don't disgrace yourself. As you said, I love my wife dearly, and I won't be having any dinner with you."

Tears welled up in Belle's eyes. "Mr. Magnus, I... I admire you. I... I simply can't control my feelings. I just wanted to invite you for dinner."

She lowered her head, looking quite pitiful, nothing like the cool and composed woman she usually was.

Just as Magnus was about to say something, he suddenly felt a strange heat coursing through his body. He lifted his bloodshot eyes, staring at the woman before him; a sudden urge to tear her apart surged through him.

What was happening to him?

Seeing his strange behavior, Belle quickly approached him, gripping his arm, "Mr. Magnus, what's wrong?"

Her cool touch was a relief against his burning skin, but he pushed her away forcefully. In a cold voice, he asked, "Belle, did you put something in my coffee?"

He had been fine just moments ago. How could he have changed so suddenly? His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glint.

Belle lunged at Magnus like an octopus, holding onto his waist tightly, "What's going on? I'm here, are you feeling unwell? Take me. I'm all yours."

After hearing Belle's words, Magnus pushed her away in disgust. "Belle, you've got some nerve!" He leaned against the desk, feeling as if his blood was beginning to boil.

"Get out!" His blood-red eyes were cold and ruthless.

"Mr. Magnus, if you don't take me, something bad will happen! I won't tell anyone! Please!" Belle once again held onto his arm, trying to unbutton his shirt.

Magnus felt as if millions of ants were crawling all over him. He pushed Belle away once again. "Get out now!"

As Belle took in his handsome face, she became more desperate. Today was her only chance to have this man! She had to seize this opportunity!

"What's going on here?" Natalia was awakened by the noise outside. She opened the door to find Magnus slumped over the desk.

"Natalia..." Magnus looked at Natalia as if she was his savior.

Belle was taken aback when she saw the young woman emerge from the resting room. She hadn't expected Natalia to be resting there.

At that moment, she wished she could destroy everything and kill Natalia! She shot Natalia a fierce look, but it was fleeting.
