Chapter 90
Tobias normally drove sports cars. But today, he was driving a Bentley, which looked more formal.
"Tobias, why aren't you driving a cool sports car today?" Natalie asked subconsciously.
"The type of car has to suit the occasion." Tobias answered blandly.
Natalie mumbled a response as her expression changed slightly when she thought of something.
"Will I make you lose face if I appear alongside you like this?" Natalie asked in a low voice.
After all, she was from a poor family, so she wasn't someone who could appear gracefully in public. She was terrified that she would make Tobias lose face.
Tobias' dark gaze fell upon Natalie's face. His heart skipped a beat after hearing what she said.
It seemed that poverty from Natalie's childhood has been deeply rooted in her heart. Her cheerful appearance could not change the self-abasement that was deeply rooted in her bones.
Tobias thought that he wanted to let Natalie gradually become more confident.
However, this was not something that could be achieved overnight. He had to go at this slowly.
"No, you won't make me lose face," Tobias replied flatly.
Natalie was at a loss. She fumbled with her fingers and added, "I don't know anything, and I can't speak well either. I'm in a cold sweat."
"Don't you have a sharp tongue? Especially when you are arguing with me," Tobias rebuked her.
Natalie was embarrassed by his words.
Being good at debating wouldn't make her someone who could carry herself verbally on a dinner occasion.
"By the way, you don't actually want to bring me along, do you? If your mother didn't insist on it, you wouldn't be bothered to bring me along, right?" Natalie suddenly asked again.
She remembered that before Cecilia had suggested this, Tobias never had the intention to bring her to this dinner.
"Indeed, I never thought of bringing you along in the first place," Tobias answered directly.
Natalie pursed her lips and said "I know that. Maybe some girls will hit on you later and you don't want me to be there. Otherwise, if others already know that you already have a wife, they might not dare to talk to you anymore. You definitely don't want that to happen."
Tobias' face darkened. He raised his voice and said, "Natalie, am I such an obscene man to you? Hmm?"
Natalie kept her innocent eyes wide open as she answered, "Well, aren't you?"
Tobias was speechless. "What on earth caused you to have such an illusion?"
Tobias had always been knowing how to restrain himself. Why did Natalie think that he was such a lecherous man?
Natalie's eyelashes trembled slightly. "If you are not, then why did you do that when you first met me..."
Natalie couldn't continue what she intended to say.
In short, when they met for the first time, this man had used her in bed mercilessly. Would anyone even say that this man was not lewd, judging from his actions?
Although they had agreed that Tobias couldn't touch her, he would flirt with her from time to time.
Therefore, in Natalie's eyes, Tobias was certainly a lecherous man.
Tobias paused his breathing for a second.
He was muddled in the beginning as well. Many women tried to seduce him over the years. The number of women was uncountable. However, he had never lost control of himself. Despite his confidence, when he saw Natalie that day, he didn't know why he suddenly couldn't restrain himself.
Even at that moment, this woman had an inexplicable charm which could win over him.
If he hadn't always warned himself that he and Natalie were just a couple by agreement, and if it hadn't been for his great self-control, he would have already swallowed Natalie.
"Do you think that you're a perverted guy?" Natalie added.
Tobias' black eyes took on an even darker shade as he chose not to answer her.
Natalie paused. She thought that this man must be feeling guilty at the moment.
This time, several presidents invited Tobias to discuss business collaboration, and the appointed place was a restaurant in a five-star hotel.
When the car stopped, Natalie was about to get off the car when Tobias suddenly halted her.
Natalie's hand, which was opening the door, froze in mid-air.
"Natalie, do you know your identity today with me by your side?" Tobias looked at Natalie with his deep dark eyes.
Natalie stopped breathing for one second.
Although Cecilia had told her that she was acting as Tobias' wife, she was stumped about her identity.
She and Tobias were just a couple by agreement. She certainly could not claim to be his wife in public.
"I have no idea." Natalie shook her head in confusion.
Perhaps, she didn't have any identity at all. Tobias only brought her here because of Cecilia's orders.
"You are my wife today," Tobias suddenly said in a low voice.
Natalie's whole body suddenly became stiff.
"Remember, that is your identity." After finishing his words, Tobias got out of the car with Natalie's hand held in his.
Along the way, Natalie felt like her footsteps were unstable as if she was stepping on clouds. It felt like she would fall at any moment. She was light-headed, and the words that Tobias had just said kept echoing in her mind.
"My wife..."
God, when he uttered these words, he was staring straight into her eyes with his depthless eyes. His voice was like a pleasant melody to the ears, which made her heart beat faster.
He followed Tobias' lead, and very soon, they both arrived at the restaurant.
At first glance, this restaurant looked super luxurious. If the original Natalie came to this kind of place, she would definitely feel intimidated. However, she had visited several high-class places with Tobias, so she was not as ignorant as she used to be.
Natalie tried her best not to look ignorant and unaware of the ways of the world. She didn't want to embarrass Tobias.
After entering one of the private suites of the restaurant, several men approached them. At first glance, it was no doubt they looked like they belonged to the upper-class of society.
Natalie thought, "These men are probably presidents themselves, but why are they so different from Tobias although they have the same positions?"
These men looked like bald generals, which was not in tune with Tobias who was an elegant young master.
Those men came forward and shook hands with Tobias warmly, giving the impression that they were good friends. When they saw Natalie beside Tobias, they were slightly taken aback.
It was not surprising for Tobias, a man in such a high position, to have a female companion. However, what surprised them was that Tobias had never shown himself being cozy with a woman before. Why did he suddenly bring a woman along with him this time?
They looked at each other quietly. It seemed that the rumors were all contrary to the fact.
It seemed that the rumors about him not being affectionate to women were all false. No guy could ever resist women.
What surprised them was that the girl beside Tobias looked really young. She looked like she was still a student at first glance.

Natalie was on edge and did not know how to answer.
Tobias opened his mouth slightly and replied, "She is my wife."
However, the presidents didn't show any hints of astonishment, contrary to Natalie's expectations. They just smiled perfunctorily.
After all, they had never heard any news about Tobias' wedding. These presidents thought that Tobias must have wanted to coax the little girl next to him by labeling her as his wife.
At the dining table, several presidents and Tobias greeted each other, and they gradually went into their main topic.
