My Boss Is My Ex-lover

Natalie did not head straight to the hotel, instead, she dropped by in a department store to buy dresses, suitcase, and other personal kinds of stuff.

-------

Time, days, nights and weeks have gone so fast, and now she has been away from home for one month. She missed her parents but she has to endure it! She did not dare to open her phone to avoid her parents from locating her.

Natalie didn't think too much about it anymore, for now, she has another big problem!

She's running out of cash!

She has been staying in the hotel for one month now, so she almost spends all the money on her food and accommodation!

"What am I going to do? How did I spend too much without knowing it?!" Natalie didn't know what to do!

This is her first time being away from home. She has been living like a princess all her life! Her parents spoiled her and all she knows is how to spend money!

Natalie counted the money that was left in her wallet.

She gasped when she realized that it wouldn't be enough for her!

"I can't use my credit card to avoid my parents for tracing my location," Natalie said to her self.

She tried to think of the other way to minimize her expenses.

It would be practical if I move out from here into a cheaper apartment. Natalie thought.

But that's not only her problem! She still needs to survive on her own! She has to rely on her self. How can she survive without cash? She has to earn money to provide for her own needs!

She's going to find another place to stay!

Natalie roamed around the city with her luggage to find an available cheaper apartment unit. However, she did not find any available unit.

Natalie already felt exhausted, she's been walking for the whole morning and her shirt is already drenched in sweat and her sight becomes blurry. But she continued to walk.

She walked across the street, but because she's not feeling well, she did not notice the car that is heading towards her direction!

-------

Jian is currently driving his car, he is in deep thought and he did not pay much attention to the road.

He was startled when a young lady suddenly walks across the road!

Jian instantly snapped back to his senses!

"Sh*t!" He hardly stepped on the brake which creates a piercing sound!

Natalie turned her head to the source of the piercing sound that she heard. But she was startled to see the car heading towards her direction!

"Aaahhhh!!!" She cried!

Everything happened too fast!

Natalie felt that something hits her body!

Though the impact was not too strong Natalie still lost her consciousness and her body fell to the ground. The people started to gather around her!

Jian was shocked! He saw the girl's body collapsed. His face turned pale, his heartbeat become faster! His body trembled and he feels like someone splashed him ice-cold water!

It took him a few minutes before he gets out of his car.

"My God! Is she dead?!" Jian walked closer to the girl who is lying on the ground.

He kneeled and tried to check the girl's pulse. He felt a little bit of relief when he feels her pulse.

-------

Hospital (emergency room)

"Excuse me, are you related to the patient?" The nurse asked Jian.

"Huh?"

"What's her name, sir?" The nurse asked again.

"Uh, I... I don't know the patient personally." Jian replied.

"Oh!" The nurse said. "Then I'll just wait for the patient to wake up." The nurse said and then she left.

When the nurse left, Jian walked closer to the bed and looked at the girl.

She's not yet awake, she has small wounds but the doctor already cleaned it and they put a drip in her right hand.

Jian looked the girl's face, she looked young, maybe she's eighteen to nineteen years old. Though are bruises and scratches on her face, Jian can't deny that this girl is a beauty.

------

Natalie slowly opened her eyes...

Where am I?

Natalie feels the pain in her body and she knitted her brows.

What happened to me? Why my body is in pain?

She tried to remember what happened earlier and her eyes went wide open! She was hit by a car!

Am I dead?!

Natalie observes her self for a moment...

"You're awake!"

Natalie heard a man's voice and then a good looking man approached her in the bed.

Natalie was stunned for a moment, 'Woah! Such a good looking guy! Wait!' She froze for a moment

Who is this guy? Natalie's knitted brows deepened.

Natalie slowly raised her body.

"Who... who are you?" She asked in a faint voice.

The man smiled at her, 'oh! That smile! It could melt every woman's heart!' She thought.

"I am Jian Hong, I'm... I'm the car's owner." Jian replied.

"What?!" Natalie pointed to Jian, " You! You're the one who hit me?!" She asked.

"It was an accident," Jian replied.

'Oh! What a waste! This good looking guy is the one who almost kills me!'

"Wait! Where are my belongings?!" She asked Jian.

"Huh?!"

"My bag! Where's my bag?!" She asked again. I can't lose my bag! My money is in there!

"Uh, I only have your luggage," Jian said.

Natalie's jaw instantly dropped!

"What?!"

No, no, no!

"I can not be lost my bag!" Natalie said with her raised voice!

"Hey! Calm down! We're in the hospital you might disturb the other patients." Jian tried to stop Natalie.

"Stop?! How could I stop?!" Natalie glared at the man I in front of her. She has gone hysterical!

"If it wasn't for you I would not be lost my bag! My money is in there... and I have nothing left in me!" Natalie continued to speak with her raised a voice.

"Uh..." Jian is lost of words! He pinched the space between his brows, this girl is giving her a headache! She is so hard to control!

"Alright, alright! Just give me your parent's contact number so that I can call them and tell them what happened to you." Jian said.

Natalie froze...

She instantly becomes silent.

After a while, she speaks again, "I... I don't have parents." Natalie lied.

"What?!" Jian knitted his brows.

"I... I am... an orphan." Natalie's voice cracked when she said the word 'orphan'. She's not cursing her parents, she just has to make a lie to hide her real identity.
