Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 51

Natalie couldn't keep angry with her anymore and smiled. Her smile which came from the heart made her face brighter and at that moment, Mikael who was looking at her had to admit that she was indeed a beautiful woman.

''Hey, let go before I get mad. How can a girl be this drunk? What if someone saw you and took a picture of you? Don't you mind your image at all?'' Natalie scolded Alice but the way she was doing it didn't seem like she was scolding her at her.

Alice frowned and said to Natalie, ''Sis, can you not scold me anymore? I'm really sad. I feel so pitiful right now''

''Alright, I won't scold you. Let's talk tomorrow. I will help you bath before you sleep'' Natalie said and looked up to Mikael for help.

''Let me send her to the room, you are not fit yourself'' Mikael said and lifted Alice up, carrying her to the room while Natalie followed.

When Mikael placed Alice on her bed, she stretched her hands about and rolled on the bed murmuring, ''brother in law, I missed you so much. Why did you decide to leave me and my sister when you know you are the only one we have?''

''I'm sorry. She is drunk and is mistaking you for Thomas''

''I know, is alright. I will leave her to you'' Mikael said and left the room.

Natalie sat on the bed and hit Alice's thigh saying, ''you are going to be the death of me. Did you eat the liver of a pig to be this audacious?''

An hour later.

Natalie returned to the hall after putting Alice to sleep. She was talking on phone with Xia as she walked down the stairs.

''No, just take care of your work and don't worry about me. I have Alice with me. Yes, she is so drunk. Okay, please let me know if you find out anything. Thanks, bye''

Natalie heard noise in the kitchen after hanging up. she knew Mikael was inside there so she went in and they met on the way.

''Thank you for bringing Alice home. I wouldn't have known where she was if you didn't call me''

''It's alright'' Mikael saw her blush and he smiled before pointing the cup of coffee towards her. Coffee?''

''Mm'' Natalie nodded and he handed her the cup he made and went back to the kitchen to make himself another one. Natalie followed him inside and asked.

''Didn't you just drink from this?''

''Right, I'm sorry'' Mikael took the cup from her and his fingers brushed against her. Natalie gave a faint smile as she waited for him to make her a cup of coffee. She watched him with a serious gaze.

''Alice's contract with Empire Entertainment expires this month. I arranged for her to join my agency next month''

''You want Alice to join your agency?'' Natalie was surprised by his decision. Not that it was a bad one.

''Yes''

''Why?'' she asked and Mikael handed her the cup of coffee and they walked out to the hall.

''Because Assistant He told me that my brother planned to make her join my agency after her contract expired and I intend to follow through with that. She will be well taken care of there and I will make sure she gets all the exposure she needs''

''I see'' she said and sat down and watched the late night movie that was airing.

''I thought that you would go to bed early''

''I have irregular sleep patterns. Happens a lot lately''

Mikael looked at her and furrowed his brows. He was sure if he was the one feeling that way but he felt that she was taking her condition to be normal and he didn't like that idea.

''When did you start having irregular sleep patterns?''

''Huh?'' Natalie turned to look at him for the first time since they got to the hall. She suddenly stood up and said to him, ''I should go to bed''

''Natalie…'' Mikael held her hand as she stood up. he squeezed her fingers and she looked down at his hand and he immediately let go and apologised. 'I'm sorry''

''You should try some pu'er tea and reduce the coffee intake. It's not good for your body as an actor'' Natalie said and Mikael looked at her confused for a while. She took that chance to scurry to her room leaving him alone.

''What was that about? Why do I feel that I just flirted with her?'' Mikael mumbled and shook his head.

''What was that?'' Natalie muttered and stood in front of her bed looking at the big giant picture of her and Thomas in their wedding dresses and murmured.

''Thomas, your brother seems to like my sister. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. I should stop thinking about unimportant stuff and sleep''

Janice Jewellery.

Lucy sighed and looked at the document in front of her with a confused expression. She was supposed to write the budget for their end of year party and she hated calculations.

Lucy sighed again and looked towards the door and saw Matt, she stood up and smiled. 'Matt? When did you come here?''

Matt walked closer, ''you were so focused on your work, I didn't want to distract you''

''Sorry. I just hate working on calculations is all''

''Can I have a look?'' Matt asked and went behind Lucy when she was about to stand up. He stood behind her and leaned closer over her shoulder to look at the computer screen.

Their close contact made her blush as she asked, ''you?''

Matt chuckled at her question and replied. ''I might not look like it but, I'm a maths genius. I'm a straight A student''

''I see''

''I brought you coffee, here'' Matt pointed at the coffee he placed on the table.

''Thanks'' Lucy said and cleared her throat. 'I should let you sit down'' she said and Matt pushed her back on the seat.

''I like it this way'' he said and smiled as he looked at the screen. His one hand was placed on the keyboard while the other was casually placed closer to her side. ''Let me see…''

''Look at these numbers on the screen and the ones on this paper. They don't seem to match. Something is not right about the figures but I can't figure it out'' Lucy explained as she took the coffee.

Matt looked at the numbers on the screen carefully and compared it with the papers and spoke, 'Lucy, you missed a figure in the calculation.''

''What?'' Lucy turned at once to look at him and their lips almost touched each other. They both quivered and seemed to have frozen on the spot for a minute.

Matt's fingers on the keyboard moved and his gaze shifted to her lips. He leaned closer towards her. Just then the elevator opened and Anita walked out of it and saw them. Her face changed at once and she glared at them.

Matt strategically took the hot coffee out of Lucy's hand and spoke, ''you should be careful with hot liquids, Miss Lawson''

Lucy looked at him dazedly and replied, ''huh?''

Anita's heels clacked loudly as she walked away angrily. This made Lucy snap out of her reverie. she looked at Anita walking away and asked, ''what happened, just now?''

Matt chuckled and placed the coffee back on the table, ''I should get back to my post. Send this to my email and I will work on it before the close of today. I don't think I will be able to concentrate while having you close by''

''Huh?'' Lucy pressed her lips and Matt leaned closer to her. ''What… are… you… doing?'' she stuttered.

''You're pacing out and I was just drawn to you, that's all''

''I... I wasn't pacing out. You suddenly came closer to me and I was flustered that's all''

''That is that. I came to bring you coffee and thank you for the other day''

''Oh, thank you''

''My parents want your number, but I had to ask you first''

''You want to give me their number?''

''Yes, you bonded so well with them and they seem to like you''

''Okay but, are you okay with that? I mean, we're only pretending''

''I don't mind''

Anita walked back and cleared her throat making them turn to look at her. ''I want the finance report for 'Shadowed beauty'''

''Okay'' Lucy stood up to look for the file.

''I will see you at lunch'' Matt said and walked away.

When Matt left, Anita chuckled sarcastically and asked, ''who would have thought you had that in you? Seducing the chief of security''

''If you have something to say, then, just say it and stop acting like a bitch'' Lucy said, handing over the file to her.

''What? A bitch? You were the one flirting with the head of security and you're calling me a bitch?'' she said and stamped her leg on the floor and left.
