Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 41

Harrison walks to me calmly. When our eyes meet, I suddenly feel guilty, because I always get him in trouble. I lower my head, not daring to look at him.

Natasha's eagerly waiting for Harrison's decision. A lot of women are gathering around her. Harrison, who stays calm, doesn't ask me what has happened.

At the bottom of my heart, I feel an unprecedented sorrow. As Harrison has said, power and money can make people ignore the rules, let alone the facts.

"Harrison, say something. How are we gonna fix this today?Your woman seduced my man while we were discussing business. I can't just let it go." Natasha sounds like she really likes that man.

After that, she looks at me and says, "I heard she was a slut at the last banquet. Mr. Stewart, I don't think this woman is worth giving up your business with me."

I feel uncomfortable to hear this. A slut? I want to refute, but someone holds my shoulder.

I'm stunned. Raising my head, I look at

Harrison, who's smiling at me as if he's trying to appease my anger.

"Are you denying my charisma, Natasha? Do you think your man is better than me?" Harrison asks with a smile.

There's a hint of laughter in his voice, making it impossible for others get mad at him.

The truth finally comes out after Harrison made a few phone calls. Natasha's man has no idea there are cameras in the hallway outside the bathroom. When we get the surveillance footage, he finally shuts up.

Natasha didn't apologize for wronging me. Instead, she gave me a meaningful look before she leaves.

I don't want to know what she means, nor do I want to see her again.

On the way back, I look at Harrison's side face. He's taking me home just like the night we met, and I'm just as enamored with his handsome face as I was that time.

He chuckles and brings me back from my memory. I hurriedly look away from his face and change the subject. "I won't thank you for today. That's what you should do."

"Oh?" he asks, "You knew that I would help you?"

I shake my head. "To be honest, I thought you might sacrifice me when you came to me. After all, I could have cost you your business with Natasha."

"Compared to your business, I'm worthless, aren't I?"

As hurtful as that sounds, I'd rather I said it than him.

No one can understand how I feel. I'm not on equal footing with him and I have to listen to him. I've had trouble at both banquets. What about next time? It's only a matter of time before I go mad with all this trouble.

Recently, I have wondered more than once whether meeting him at the most desperate time was my good fortune or the beginning of another tragedy.

Harrison says while driving, "I'm not gonna lose my business unless you were lying."

"What if I was lying?" I ask in another way.

He thinks for a moment and says, "Then you wouldn't be sitting here right now but receiving Natasha's punishment."

For some reason, I feel a chill run down my spine. Why can he still be so calm?
