The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 219

Callum gently patted her head and smiled. "I understand. Go on with your work."

"Alright," Natalia responded to Callum. Without wasting any more time with idle chatter, Natalia headed back to her desk.

From his office, Magnus watched the interaction on the security cameras. Natalia’s rejection made him smile. His mood, however, quickly soured when he saw that Callum didn't leave but instead waited outside the Design Department for Natalia to finish her work.

Frowning, he picked up the phone and ordered, "Have the irrelevant people removed from the company!" He was astounded by Callum's audacity.

He needed to tread carefully, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble that might upset Natalia. Hence, he decided to just make Callum leave.

As someone known for his swift and decisive actions, Magnus wasted no time. Soon, Callum received a call from his family about an emergency, forcing him to leave.

Relieved to see Callum leave through the security footage, Magnus couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

Did Callum think he could compete with Magnus was a death wish. He decided to let Callum live a bit longer. He wouldn't make a move, not until he had Natalia's full affection.

As expected, Callum was no match for him. Everything was playing out just as Magnus had anticipated.

To ensure that Magnus and Natalia could spend time together without any interruptions, he made a few phone calls to the deputy head, coming up with various reasons to send the employees in the Design Department home early.

When Natalia finally looked up from her work, she found herself alone in the vast office.

"Where did everyone go?" She wondered, feeling a chill run down her spine.

She quickly packed her things, ready to leave. She had expected to find Callum waiting for her outside when she finished her work, but when she stepped out of her office, she found the hallway empty. She suddenly remembered Callum's call. He had mentioned a family emergency and had to leave. This only made Natalia more fearful.

After closing the office door, she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave. Just as she reached the elevator, a strong arm snaked around her waist from behind.

"Ah!" Natalia screamed, thinking she had run into a thug.

She hadn't been held like this in years. Even Callum had only carried her when she was injured.

Her heart was racing, and she began to struggle and cry out for help. She assumed that though the Design Department was empty, there would still be employees from other departments working overtime in the enormous Orange Horizon building. She hoped that someone would hear her cries and come to her aid.

But no matter how much she yelled, the entire office seemed to have vanished. There was no one there, not even a security guard, to open the door!

It was bizarre!

That was when Magnus, without any hindrance, simply scooped her up and carried her to his car.

Natalia was a bit frightened, unsure of where Magnus was taking her. "Magnus, where are you taking me? Let me go, I've told you everything. There's no future for us. It's pointless for you to do this!"

She didn't want anything more to do with this man.
