Natalie Wheeler looked at him in shock. She couldn't believe that such words would come out from his mouth. She didn't understand why he would say that.
"I think you've misunderstood, Mr. Milton. Or perhaps I should apologize if I have done anything that had led you to think that way. I have never had any improper thoughts about you. I just wanted a seemingly challenging job," Natalie said righteously.
Jasper Milton lifted her chin and rubbed her lips with his left thumb affectionately, "Only you would know whether you have thought about it or not. Since you have said so, then I will take your word for it. However, from now on, I will allow you to think about it."
Natalie's heart was thumping fast. She looked at Jasper, trying to read his facial expressions.
His words were not frivolous, and there was no single trace of desire in his eyes. On the contrary, there was anger in his black eyes.
Was he testing her?
