The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 694: Do You Like Me?_1

He had indeed failed to notice the Lighten Chaser layer on her, being too preoccupied with the Red Alliance matters.

But... it seemed like he had gotten to understand her a little bit more.

Amadeus Yancey was in a pretty good mood, he raised his hand and naturally ruffled the Girl’s hair, laughing, "Did you decide? Which one do you think is good?"

His sudden gesture made Nathalie Quinlan restless, her neck to her nape becoming immovable, and all the blood in her body rushing to her Heart, thumping wildly.

She couldn’t focus, and her slender fingers casually pointed at one.

"This one."

"This one?" Amadeus’s line of sight fell on the Gift she had chosen, his thin lips curling up, head tilted back, voice becoming even more husky and seductive, "Are you sure?"

Nathalie Quinlan, annoyed, furrowed her brows, not in the mood to see what she had chosen, vaguely remembering it seemed like children’s Clothes, quite cute, she nodded, "Just that one, Edric likes cute things, and that piece of clothing is pretty cute."

"It is quite cute." Amadeus’s hand rested on the mouse, clicking open the webpage in front of her, then he raised his head, his eyes locking onto hers, smiled and said, "However, it’s a family set, three pieces in total. Besides Edric’s, there’s also a set for adults, the male one I can wear, but the female one would only fit you."

Nathalie Quinlan: "..."

Why did she feel like she’d been tricked?

But upon looking closely, the laptop indeed showed a family photo in the clothing item she had selected, with an entire set of clothes.

She felt somewhat irritated, frowning.

She looked up at the man who had naturally pushed the Clothes for the Girl onto her, and still felt like he was a bit too presumptuous. Good friends...didn’t seem to go this far.

"You..."

The more she looked, the more she felt she was catching on to something, but she couldn’t articulate it momentarily.

"Hmm?" The man’s languid gaze met her searching line of sight.

Nathalie Quinlan inexplicably felt burned again, the words "do you like me" that were about to slip out swallowed back down.

"What about me?"

Nathalie Quinlan stared at his provocative face for a long while, her dark eyes shifting away, lips pressed tightly, feeling restless, "Never mind, it’s nothing."

She was afraid to ask and repeat the awkwardness of the last time.

The previous good friend incident was still vivid in her memory.

She didn’t want to Face Slap herself.

Amadeus Yancey keenly sensed her unusual response and was about to press for an answer.

But Nathalie Quinlan’s Phone rang.

She breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her back, creating some distance between them, and said, "I need to take a phone call."

"..." Amadeus watched the Girl walk away with some vexation, pulling out his phone from his pocket, squinting at the screen, then frowning slightly as he walked aside to answer the Phone call.

"Is there a problem? Right now..."

The person on the phone seemed to glance over at him, then answered carelessly, "Where shall we meet?"

In less than a minute, she said indifferently, "I got it, I’ll be right there."

Nathalie Quinlan hung up the Phone, turned back to him, and said, "I need to make a trip to the school, about that computer with the programming setup, please ask Alfred Garland to bring it back for me, just place it on the desk in my room, I’ll look at it when I return."

"You were just..." Amadeus wanted to ask her what the rest of her half-finished sentence was.

Alfred Garland chose that specific moment to enter, interrupting him. Seeing Nathalie Quinlan packing up, he cheerfully asked, "Ms. Quinlan, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I have some things to take care of. A trip to the school."

Wenny Taylor had suddenly called her to arrange a meeting, claiming there was something she wanted to pass on in person.
