Chapter 944: Chapter 944 Engrossed Herself Into Her Work

Nelson pursed his lips and said, “I just don’t want you to quarrel with your parents! I’d never stayed with my parents since I was a child, therefore I cherish familial relationships a lot!”

Naomi understood where he was coming from. Before she was five years old, she had also never lived with Amos either.

She paused for a while.

“Thank you for what you did just now!”

Nelson said, “You’re welcome! As long as you lead a good life in the future, I will be at ease!”

After that, he turned around and left. Naomi stared at his back blankly for a long time.

Benedict came after her and called her.

“Naomi, what are you looking at? Who was that?”

Naomi came to her senses and replied, “He was the person who helped us out just now. I was thanking him.”

Benedict asked skeptically, “Why did he help us out? Do you know him?”

Naomi pursed her lips.

Then, she quickly changed the subject, “I like the event, it’s fascinating. Thank you for your invitation. I’m going home!”

“The event isn’t over yet!” Benedict tried to persuade her to stay.

“I’ve seen all the things that I’m interested in, though. Let’s call it a day!”

“Fine!” Benedict was a little disappointed. However, he would always respect Naomi’s decisions.

“I’ll walk you home. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Uncle Amos and Auntie Eudora. I heard from my mother a few days ago that she wants to travel with Auntie Eudora for a while. Do you know about that?”

Naomi was taken aback and asked, “Does she really?”

“Yes! My parents have booked their airline tickets. I bet your parents will be going too!”

Naomi pursed her lips. Her parents had never brought this matter up before.

…

Meanwhile, in Clearwater Bay.

Eudora was resting whereas Amos was preparing their luggage.

“We will be there for a week. It’s cold over there, so you have to take the necessities with you.”

Eudora replied lazily, “Aren’t you going too? I’d be more rest assured if you come along!”

Hearing her words, Amos felt exasperated yet happy at the same time.

“Then, you must follow me closely.”

Eudora suddenly said, ” If we just leave like this, what about Naomi? Why don’t we ask her to go with us?”

Amos was still upset about the fact that Naomi had hurt Eudora.

Upon hearing Eudora’s suggestion, his voice became a little cold.

He insisted, “I think it’s better for her to calm down for a while. Since she has just broken up with Nelson, let her wallow in her sadness for a while. We’ve never forced her to do anything throughout these years…”

Although Eudora was reluctant to leave Naomi behind, she felt that Amos’ words were quite reasonable. After all, children had to grow up themselves. One’s parents could only be there to encourage their children to become more independent so that they could take care of themselves in the future.

“Then, I’ll leave her a note!”

…

When Benedict arrived at Clearwater Bay with Naomi, he received a phone call from Harley as soon as he got out of the car.

“We’re leaving, so take care of yourself and the goldfish raised by your mother. Remember to change the water and feed it daily. If it dies, I will not spare you!”

Benedict let out a sigh and followed Naomi into the house. Then, he started, “Naomi, my parents…”

As he trailed off, he noticed that Naomi was staring dazedly at a letter in her hand.

It was a note that Eudora had left for her with a few lines on it.

‘-I’m going out with your father. Take good care of yourself at home and don’t make me worried. Don’t miss us too much!’

Benedict pursed his lips and said, “It seems that your parents have gone on the trip too.”

After a slight pause, his eyes lit up again.

“Naomi, why don’t I move in and stay with you for a few days? I can take you to work every day! I can also pick you up in the evenings when you get off work…”

Naomi immediately refused his offer, “No, I don’t want to live with a kid. Besides, don’t you need to take care of Auntie Thea’s fish?”

Truth be told, Benedict was just joking. After all, that goldfish was his mother’s current precious treasure.

If it really died, Harley would also not let him get away with it, even more so Thea!

Benedict sighed and said, “Can’t you comfort me just like the way you did when we were children? I won’t mind even if you told me a little white life!”

Naomi shook her head and said, “I can’t do that anymore! When you were a child, those were just harmless white lies. Now that you’ve grown up, if I were to lie to you again, then I’d really be tricking you!”

Benedict continued to stand there in dejection for a while before leaving.

…

For the next few days, Naomi would go to work from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. every day. Occasionally, she would receive photos from Eudora, telling her they were having a good time.

Naomi also felt happy for them. She pondered, “Isn’t that how everyone is like? We all want to live a good and relaxing life in the future. Isn’t that the reason why we work so hard when we’re young?”

While putting down the phone, Cynthia came to remind her again.

“Please don’t conduct too many personal activities when you’re working. Furthermore, if I’m not mistaken, you haven’t completed any projects yet. The deadline for your probation period is around the corner. If you still can’t finish anything by then, then I can only act according to the company’s policy!”

Naomi closed her eyes in perturbation and said to her, “I know. I’ll work hard!”

After Cynthia left, she took a deep breath. She had wasted too much time recently, hence she should work harder from now on.

Although her parents were not in the company for the time being, Naomi was still the daughter of Amos Granger and Eudora George.

As they were such exemplary people, she couldn’t bring disgrace upon them.

After regaining her focus, she once again engrossed herself into her work.

In the afternoon, she analyzed all the remaining projects that she had. In the end, she picked out three of them and studied them more carefully.

After that, she devoted her time to making proposals.

It was not until almost eleven o’clock at night that Naomi stood up and got ready to return home. She walked towards the company’s exit only to find that the door had been locked.

It was the first time working overtime, hence she had forgotten to inform the guards.

When she wanted to take her phone to make a call, she found that it had run out of battery.

She had no other option but to go back to her desk and continue her work.

After an entire night of working, she felt weary, beginning to feel dizzy and light-headed. However, since she had to visit clients to present her proposals on the next day, she no longer had the time to take her health into account.

She simply changed her clothes and washed up before heading straight to meet her clients.

Although she had come from Valiant East, she had not built up her own reputation. In addition, she was a novice. Despite being well-prepared, she still got rejected in the end.

By the time she had finished meeting the third client, afternoon had already arrived and it was drizzling.

Naomi walked with frustration in the rain. After a few steps, she received a call from Cindy.

“Miss Naomi, I’m sorry. I have something to do today, so I won’t head home tonight. I’ve already prepared some food for you at home. Remember to eat it. I’ll come back tomorrow night!”

Naomi nodded and tried her best  to muster up her strength.

“Okay!”

However, her headache seemed to have worsened. As her voice trailed off, she subconsciously touched her forehead as she started to feel cold.

Despite feeling woozy, she still tried to walk forwards. Unfortunately, she blacked out all of a sudden, falling to the ground.
