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.

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.
"Darling, it's me," Magnus quickly assured her, surprised that his sudden appearance had scared her
so much.
Had he known that his presence would frighten rather than delight her, he would have chosen a gentler
approach.
"Magnus? What are you doing here? Didn’t you return to Melfort? Have you lost your mind?" Natalia
asked, her heart settling down after recognizing his voice. She was in Magnus' arms, and his familiar
scent filled her nostrils. She struggled to break free, demanding, "Magnus, let me go. What do you
think you're doing?"
"This is a company, Magnus. You better not do anything reckless. If my colleagues see us, you'll regret
it!"
Did he think he was still in Melfort? Or that this was the Andersen Corporation, where he could do
whatever he pleased?
Despite Natalia's protests, Magnus held her even tighter, closing his eyes to savor her scent.
For five years, he could only hold her like this in his dreams. Now, he could finally hold her in reality,
and his heart was nearly bursting with joy. As soon as the elevator arrived, he carried Natalia out
without a word. He had made up his mind to explain everything to her today.
"What are you doing, Magnus? Let me go. Have you gone mad?" Natalia demanded. Her body was
stiffening in his arms. His arms were strong and unyielding, and she couldn't break free.
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.
