Chapter 88
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 88 Having reluctantly seen Mia off. Jim returned to the office.
Meanwhile. Trevon stood tall by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his face wearing a somber expression. He dialed a number and spoke with an air of authority. The mirrored glass revealed his brooding countenance.
âReexamining is acceptable, but Iâd like to clarify this. If it turns out that the Wilson Group is innocent, they will be required to issue a formal apology on their official website.â
Ending the call abruptly, his eyes gleamed with a steely coldness as he turned his attention to Jun. He commanded, âFind out who initiated the request for a reexamination of the bidding process and ensure that appropriate action is taken.â
âYes, and should we investigate the person behind the trending topics? If it werenât for their disclosure of Miss Murâs situation, the project wouldnât have been subjected to this reexamination, Jim suggested, aware of the significance of the impending contract signing.
A subtle smile of satisfaction played on Trevonâs lips as he responded, âNo need for that. Just handle this matter diligently.â
Jim understood the implications behind Trevonâs words.
Trevon angrily unfastened his tie and flung it onto the desk before snatching his phone and dialing Frankâs number âTake down those damn trending topics.â
Frank, amid a boxing session, halted his movements and grabbed the phone, muting the external noise. âI canât remove them. The client specifically requested a full day. Donât ruin my reputation.â
When Mia asked him to help get the trending topics taken down, he had already anticipated the underlying reasons Trevon felt a lump in his throat. Indeed, Frankâs systemâs longevity relied on trust and confidentiality.
âHow much longer will they remain up? The bidding process has been affected.â
Frank let out a wry laugh. âI thought you were calling to plead on Miss Miaâs behalf. It was a twisted drama, with his ex-wife placing the order and her former husband seeking merry âDo I look like I have that much free time? Well, then, let it stay. The customer always comes first. How much did she spend anyway Frank was speechless. âCanât you log in and check it yourself?â
Last night, when Frank received the order, he already knew Natalie placed it. Thatâs why he had lowered his standards to accept the job. Otherwise, he would never have taken such an order.
Just as he was contemplating, a notification sounded, indicating a payment of 10 thousand dollars had been deposited. Frank couldnât help but chuckle. The customer just sent the final payment of 10 thousand dollarsâ
Trevon couldnât hide hus amusement. âSo, how much did she bid in the el 20 thousand dollars for two orders, Trevon chuckled upon hearing the amount.
Frank didnât hold back and retorted, âLooks like you were quite the penny-pincher before marriage. Still holding on to that stinginess, huh?â
The shameless Trevon replied, âWell, I believe in being frugal and thriftyâ
Frank said, âWell, youâre not exactly being thrifty with your own family, so why flaunt it?â
He hung up the phone.
Staring at the blank screen, Trevon muttered, â
In a mere moment, a smug grin crept across Trevonâs face. He couldnât help but revel in Miaâs unwavering determination for retribution. Every setback was noticed and addressed.
He had underestimated her. She possessed a running and awareness that he hadnât fully appreciated, evident by her knowledge of this website.
Meanwhile, Natalie sat on her bed, scrolling through the trending topics before even getting out of bed. She couldnât help but appreciate Damonâs remarkable efficiency in handling matters promptly.
After completing her transactions, Natalie couldnât contain her excitement and eagerly called out to Sherri, whas seemed down last night.
Just as she was about to speak, Sherriâs phone began to ring.
Natalie grabbed Sherriâs phone and glanced at the caller ID, recognizing it as their Director âSherri, wake up!
Director calling. It must be something urgent.â
Sherri snapped out of her drowsiness and swiftly sat up, answering the call with a sense of urgency. âHello, Directorâ
After a brief conversation, Sherri ended the call, her mood somewhat subdued.
Natalie observed Sherriâs troubled countenance with a tinge of concern, her brow furrowing in worry. âWhatâs the matter?â
Sherriâs eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled as she replied, âEdward took care of everything for me. The Director informed me that they secured a spot for me and asked me to complete the forms before noon.â
Tears streamed down her face, and her voice became choked with emotion. âI feel so guilty toward Edward. Despite his strictness, I know he genuinely cares for meâ
She sniffled, her voice choked with emotion. âThe company is always so busy, but my passion lies in delivering babies. Even when he was away for two years, he never forced me to shoulder his burdens or took away my pursuits. He always supported me in doing what I love. But he... heâs been through so much hardshipâ
Tears welled up in her eyes, falling onto the bedsheet one by one, their impact soaking into the fabric.
Natalie handed her a tissue to wipe away her tears. âStop crying. Itâs all my fault. If you want to have the baby, Iâll take responsibility. We can keep it a secret, and if you decide otherwise, Iâll support you. No matter what you choose, Iâll be by your side.â
Sherriâs voice cracked as she choked back her tears. âThank you... thank you so much. Natalie.â
Changing the subject, Natalie said, âI have something to show you that might brighten your day.â
Sherri sniffled and wiped her nose, her voice slightly nasal âWhat is it?â
Natalie unlocked her phone and showed Sherri the screen. âDoes this cheer you up?â
It was undeniable that those who revel in gossip and seek revenge find their satisfaction in witnessing the deserved comeuppance of others, Sherri couldnât help but raise an eyebrow in disbelief. âVelocity Expeditions is no joke. They should be called The Seraphic Vixens, specialized in curing the affliction of angelic bitches.â
Natalie similed. âIf it brings you joy, call them whatever you want. Letâs get up, and Iâll cook lunch for you. Once weâre done eating, we can fill out the forms and head to work.â
After enjoying their meal.
Natalie took the driverâs seat while Sherri sat beside her, per their usual arrangement.
Upon reaching the hospital, one went to the office, while the other proceeded to the Directorâs office to complete the forms.
As the Director observed Sherriâs determined expression, he sternly reminded her. âRemember, opportunities like these are hard to come by. Study hard and maintain a professional demeanor. Do you grasp the importance of this?â
âAh, donât worry. I heard you loud and clear. I assure you I will study diligently. You can rest assured that Iâll be well-prepared for your evaluation.â
The Director couldnât help but let out a chuckle in response.
As Sherri walked past the reception desk after completing the forms, a doctor called her, âHey, arenât you the girl who had the dental check-up last time? Oh, right, the one who was blowing up balloons. What brings you here now?â In her haste, Sherri had forgotten to change into a white coat before coming to fill out the forms.
It was understandable that she would be mistaken for a patient. After all, besides doctors, nurses, and patients, who else. would come to the hospital without a valid reason?
Her presence caught the attention of several onlookers nearby, who turned their heads to see what was happening.
Sherri quickly raised her hand to shield her face. âYouâve got the wrong person, doctor. I donât know what youâre talking about. See you later.â
Continuing the conversation would only escalate the gossip surrounding the balloon incident within the hospital.
Realizing that discretion was the wisest course of action, Sherri made a discreet exit.
Left alone, the doctor muttered to himself, âIt was her. I didnât mistake her Another doctor approached with curiosity. âWhatâs going on? Why are you muttering to yourself?â
The doctor tried to recall. âJust a moment ago, a patient walked by and claimed I mistook her for someone else.â
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
ï¤Chapter 87 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise The other doctor chuckled and teased, âWell, if you thought it was her, you must have made a mistake. Sheâs an obstetrician-gynecologist. How could she be your patient? It looks like your eyes are playing tricks on youâ
This turn of events caught the doctors off guard. âThatâs highly unlikely. I have a vivid recollection of that girl. She had swollen cheeks and a strained ligament from blowing balloons. I paid extra attention to her. Her name is Sherri
The other doctor fell silent, unable to offer any further insights.
Meanwhile, Sherri hurriedly entered Natalieâs office, visibly flustered. Tve had a stroke of bad luck.â
Natalie looked puzzled. âHmm? What happened?â
Sherri proceeded to share her encounter with the dentist. âI quickly escaped, fearing that he would expose my secret. It would be so embarrassing if he recognized me. Itâs a lesson learned to avoid foolish actions.
Natalie couldnât help but let out a hearty laugh, âWell, thatâs quite the lesson learned! It seems like this experience will make you think twice before indulging in alcohol again. Consider it a stark reminder.â
Sherri nodded vigorously in agreement. Hackett had undoubtedly taken advantage of this incident to teach her a lesson she wouldnât forget.
Ugh, why did that scumbag cross her mind again? It must be the effect of those raging pregnancy hormones.
After indulging in their conversation for another half hour, they bid each other farewell and proceeded to their respective workstations.
This was the true essence of their friendship, being able to share endless stories and experiences every day, even if it meant sharing the same living space.
