Naughty Sugar's

[21] Pretend

MAX POVS 

I saw Natt's unconscious state. Alfred said he found Natt in the bathroom by injuring his hand. Luckily he did not injure her too deeply and the Doctor asked Natt to rest for two weeks until she recovered.

“So what happened? What's up with you guys? You know, he couldn't have done this just because of his job. I'm pretty sure it all started with you! Ah no! From that jerk woman!”

I looked into Alfred's eyes very angrily, wanting to slap him, but I had to hold him back.

“Let all this me and Natt finish. We're not kids anymore and parents don't always know what's going on with what their kids are going through. Natt, he must have a reason to do that.”

“Daddy you're right! Natt did that for a reason and that reason is you!”

“Mr Alfred, you must win yourself,” Erick's voice tries to appease his Master. The man restrained Alfred's body from getting too close to me and now the old man sighed harshly.

“I didn't expect any of this to happen. Nevermind! Tonight you're responsible for taking care of her! I have a job that cannot be left behind. Please take care of Natt.”

Alfred left me without the pleasant greetings he used to do. While I was only able to sigh and pay attention to Natt from outside the room.

“Kak?! How is Natt doing?” darrel's voice with an irregular breath and his obvious worry relieved me.

I patted him on the shoulder and took him to sit on the waiting bench. Darrel seemed to be breathing out and looking at me expectantly. “Quiet, she's fine. The doctor said he was lucky he didn't hurt her deeply. The doctor asked him to rest two weeks or maybe longer,” explained me and Darrel immediately leaned his back.

“I'm really worried! Thank goodness! Thank you for calling me,” said Darrel and I nodded my head.

I knew Darrel liked Natt a long time ago and Darrel knew that our engagement was only Natt who wanted it. Therefore, I called Darrel. Anyway, I can't take good care of Natt. Natt deserves his own happiness and I think Darrel is the right person. Looking at Darrel like this, I felt like I was looking at myself. Darrel's face looked very worried and sad. Just like when I almost lost Elena a few weeks ago.

“Can I enter?” asked Darrel and I nodded.

Darrel opened the door of the room and I followed him from behind. Natt's face looked quite pale, but it did not at all change his status as a famous artist. Tomorrow there may be news coming out in the media. That's why I asked Rain to take care of it. As usual silencing the press is quite difficult, but luckily some of them are already very familiar and can be invited to work together.

The tring! The tring! My phone rang and I took it out of my pants pocket. See the name Rain that appears in front of the screen.

“Halo? How's Rain?”

“Without having to spend money it seems like they have not heard the news about Natt, Sir.”

I scratched my own head. Bizarrely. Usually they never miss Natt one bit.

“But sir, it looks like you should get here as soon as Darrel gets to.”

“Oh yes... Darrel is already with me. Butwhy? Didn't I ask you to cancel tonight's show? El, how's it going? Sorry, I just left it.”

“That's the problem, sir. Looks like Bu Elena is pretty upset at Mr.”

I also took my breath out of my mouth. It's only natural that El is angry. Our relationship has just improved, but because of Natt I left him at home after the photo shoot. He must be pretty upset about this.

“Then?”

“A-what? Live's? Why is it sudden? Where can only be prepared in an instant.”

“But in fact the TV that we work with has indeed prepared it. The reporters came because your photo shoot today attracted all the attention. You can search, you become the number one search today,” said Rain and I immediately opened the web and found some keywords that I can choose about the issue of both of us.

One of them is news about after married programs, sweet things the CEO did for his wife, after wedding photos and other searches that I do not know why it can appear suddenly like a bomb.

“This is indeed quite sudden, sir, but I think this is better than they have to preach about the suicide attempt of artist Natalie today.”

I slowly agreed. It's better, but I can't imagine how Elena would have to face all the invited guests and reporters at once.

“Pak, how? You should be back soon!”

“Alright, I'll be right back. Make sure El is okay.”

“Oh if that, I don't have to worry. Miss Elena is fine. Now he is opening a questionnaire with reporters on his after-married programme and his birthday.

Either I should feel relieved, proud or maybe disappointed in Elena. The reason is, a few hours ago I just left it to come check on Natt. Normally, that woman should be mad at me, but why is she so ordinary? Did he just pretend to be opening his heart to me these days?

“Alright, I get it, but I want him to stay safe. Ask Jon to keep an eye on her until I get to!”

“Good Sir! Be careful on the road,” said Rain and I immediately turned off my phone.

“What's up?” ask Darrel immediately without further ado.

“I have to go back. I'm putting Natt on you. I believe, you must be looking after him,” I said patting his shoulder and Darrel nodded his head.

I almost left him, but a hand holding me back left both Darrel and me shocked.

“Please! No! Don't stay with me Max!” natt said it was beyond my guess that he would. Is he playing doctor?

“Natt! Don't force yourself to wake up! Doctor says you need to rest!” Darrel still doesn't know that Natt is pretending.

The woman pushed Darrel until his body hit the nightstand next to her and the Natt infusion pole that Darrel had pulled on; releasing a hose that did not put an infusion on his skin at all.

“Natt?” Darrel looked surprised while I laughed softly.

Luckily, the reporters did not get any news about this. It would be even more devastating if they knew the artist Nattalie was suicidal to take the attention of the agency CEO who was overshadowing her because no one knew of our relationship as fiancee. Except my family and my confidants.

“Alright, this way I know more and more that you are really disgusting!” I pulled my hand and immediately came out of the room.

Natt tried to yell at me, but I'm pretty sure Darrel held him back. Nice work! Then I don't have to beat him up at this hospital. How humiliating! Is all this just a scenario? He deserves to be an international artist! The difference between fake and real is indistinguishable.

　

Poor Natt! Not a soul mate who wants to be forced rich how can not be a match either:(
