Chapter 208
There were five dishes and a soup. It wasn't a feast, but each was Natalie's
favorite.
She had taken a few bites when her gaze lifted to Brian across the room.
Brian was frowning deeply, his eyes scrutinizing a particular clause in the
contract before firm.
Bagot approached from around the corner of the nearby elevator, speaking in
hushed tones, “ME. Howard, they...”
He began but stopped when he saw Natalie sitting outside, dining and clad in
Brian's shirt. He turned his back, not continuing,
Brian glanced at Natalie and murmured, “Tell them to keep waiting.”
“Yes, sir,” Bagot nodded, then left.
Natalie guessed that Brian probably had a meeting to rush to, yet he hadn't taken
a bite to eat. After a moment's thought, she said softly, “I'm full.”
She set her cutlery down, cleaned her mouth with a napkin, and was about to get

He wasn't in a hurry. As he sat down, he reached out and caught Natalie's wrist,

Without hesitation, he speared another piece and held it up to her lips.
“I can’t eat anymore,” she repeated.
“You've hardly eaten,” he said, a note of challenge in his voice.
After a brief standoff, she relented and bit it as he intended to feed her more of
her favorites.
He fed her until he was satisfied, then set the fork down.
Natalie thought he would let her go, but Brian placed his hand on her belly and
gently rubbed it. Natalie felt sick with fullness, her stomach slightly protruding.
Brian's gentle strokes sent a message. “From now on, you need to eat until
you're full every meal.”
She had grown taller since the days when her slight frame barely tipped the
scales, yet she

weighed the same. All but for the curves meant to be fuller, her ribs were nearly
visible.
“I'm an actress,” Natalie protested.
“Who says an actress can't enjoy a full meal?” Brian retorted calmly.
After that, he picked up the fork again, offering her another bite.
