Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 233: Madam Smells So Nice!

When Natalie Vaughn is around, Zane Thorne can never ignore her. On the way, he put aside his files and chatted with her.

Somehow, they brought up Seraphina Sutton again, and Zane was somewhat displeased with Natalie’s focus on her. Knowing Natalie, she’s excellent at reading expressions, especially Zane’s mood shifts.

She suppressed a smile and reached out to hold the hand resting on his knee.

"I’ll just ask one thing."

Upon hearing this, Zane glanced at Natalie, squeezing her hand intermittently.

"She’s from GN Group, so why is she following you to the Thorne Group?"

Natalie wanted to meet with Seraphina because she admired how Seraphina handled the situation with Serena Blackwood.

Zane saw Natalie finally mention the matter and smiled slightly.

"She originally went there just for some training."

Natalie remained confused; clearly, in the Serena Blackwood incident, Seraphina had substantial influence.

"Oh, she does indeed know my dad; she initially worked for the Thorne Group before working for me."

With this explanation, Natalie understood that Seraphina’s role seemed to transcend corporate boundaries, effectively serving as Zane’s personal assistant. Depending on Zane’s current focus, she works on matters for GN Group or Thorne Group.

"However."

Zane lowered his eyes, playing with Natalie’s fingers.

"After receiving your call, she called me; it’s what I instructed her to do."

While speaking, Zane didn’t look at Natalie directly; yet, his tone suggested he was seeking her approval.

Natalie noticed it, smiled, leaned into his embrace, and kissed his chin.

"You’re the best, darling."

Zane’s lips curled in satisfaction, but when he tried to kiss Natalie, she evaded him.

Natalie beamed, pressing a finger against Zane’s lips.

"No, I can’t ruin my makeup."

Yet....

She had sincerely kissed him earlier, leaving a mark on his chin. However, she had no intention of pointing it out.

Tsk, what would happen in the office when Zane showed up with her lipstick mark on his face?

The day’s drive was becoming more entertaining.

Zane looked at Natalie, a hidden smile in his eyes, which quickly faded and his expression turned sharp.

"Those who dare to harm you, should know what’s coming."

Zane’s tone was indifferent, almost cold, prompting Natalie to gaze at him.

"What are you planning to do?"

Natalie wasn’t exactly a saint; she wouldn’t show mercy to those who hurt her, especially when that person covets her husband.

Seeing the curiosity and sparkle in Natalie’s eyes, Zane smiled and lightly pinched her cheek, only to be swatted away.

"How were offenders punished in ancient times?"

Natalie blinked.

"Crimes meriting execution, families executed?"

Zane raised an eyebrow in surprise; the little girl could come up with that off the bat, unexpectedly astute. He thought it would take her a guess or two.

Turns out, his girl is decisive in her actions too.

Knowing she guessed right, Natalie absent-mindedly toyed with the buttons on Zane’s shirt.

"We are law-abiding citizens."

Zane let out a cold chuckle.

"She can’t cut it in the entertainment world, and the Blackwood Family won’t have it easy."

Understanding his words, Natalie realized it wouldn’t be as severe as family execution, but the Blackwood Family would suffer.

Natalie suddenly sighed.

"Why bother provoking me? It’s your fault anyway."

Zane:...

"Blame your charm and excellence for being everyone’s white moonlight."

Zane:....

"That’s unjust to me, I didn’t even know who she was back then."

Detecting a hint of grievance in Zane’s voice, Natalie giggled and kissed him again, this time on his collarbone.

Zane, with his open shirt collar, brazenly left some buttons undone even in suit and shirt.

Natalie intentionally chose a spot less noticeable, satisfied after leaving her lipstick mark there.

Lantheon Manor is close to the city center, half an hour’s drive at most. Hale was extra tense driving today, as the president and his wife were in the back, and instead of reviewing files as usual, President Thorne was busy being affectionate.

Ah, these days it’s true, one not only goes to work but must also witness public displays of affection, covertly too.

These thirty minutes felt more exhausting than a whole day’s drive.

Arriving at GN Group’s building, Hale stepped out, opened the car door, and bowed to invite them out. Normally, he goes straight to the underground parking, and Zane heads up via elevator. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

GN Group just recently relocated back domestically, yet has its own standalone building in such a central location, indicating the government’s regard for GN Group.

Natalie smiled, intertwining her fingers with Zane’s.

"Isn’t this a bit too ostentatious?"

But the expression on her face didn’t perceive it as ostentatious.

"What’s ostentatious about the boss lady inspecting the premises?"

Natalie loved hearing those three words from Zane.

As they entered the building, Seraphina Sutton, who received a call earlier, was already waiting in the lobby. Realizing why she was asked to come down upon seeing President Thorne holding hands with an exceptionally beautiful woman.

So today the president’s wife is here too! Seraphina couldn’t help but gaze at Natalie for a long time, she’s truly stunning, even more so than her photos on social media! How could a real person’s face be so small! And such flawless skin! That waist! Those legs! Simply incredible!

Seraphina approached, slightly bowed.

"President Thorne, Madam."

People nearby slowed their pace upon hearing Seraphina’s voice.

What? The president’s wife is here?! Woahhhh! She’s so gorgeous! Her height difference with President Thorne is so compelling!

Is it true that the president’s wife is skilled in karate? Could such a slender, attractive woman really knock out a man with one punch?

Always thought President Thorne was so stern and intimidating, turns out he also has tenderness when with his wife! Ughh! Their hand-in-hand stroll is the epitome of love!

The president’s wife’s waist is so slender! Her legs are longer than my life! Why is her smile so beautiful! Those eyes resemble a little kitten, too adorable!

Ughh! How can a woman be so cute, cool, and seductive at the same time! I’m immobilized! I’m tempted to whip out my phone for a picture, what to do?!

...

Looking at the woman in front of her, her demeanor and tone resembled Genevieve Joyce, and Natalie figured this must be Seraphina, her gaze fell on the nametag on her left chest.

Indeed.

Natalie let go of Zane’s hand and stepped forward for a hug.

"You must be Seraphina Sutton?"

Zane:...Well, just like that, she left me behind.

Seraphina:!!!!!!! Madam smells so good!
