Chapter 131: Always recklessly seducing someone!
Nick’s hand was wrapped in bandages when he arrived at Andrews Enterprise, and he ran into Natalia. She gazed at his hand with concern.
“Mr. Andrews, what happened to your hand?” Natalia asked.
Nick frowned, offering a brief response, “Injured,” and then proceeded into his office. Natalia’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Just then, someone from the front desk came up, knocking on the door to enter the office.
Natalia quickly intercepted the person. “You’re not part of the upper management. Do you have an appointment? ”
The receptionist is very beautiful, after all, working at Andrews Enterprise, she must be outstanding.
“Natalia, someone sent a gift for the president and asked me to bring it up.” the receptionist explained.
Natalia hastily grabbed the gift. “Give it to me. You go back and stand at your post.”
Though slightly insulting, Natalia was used to being high and mighty at Andrews Enterprise, and nobody dared to challenge her on a regular day.
The receptionist dared not speak against Natalia’s wishes, merely stating, “It’s from the president’s designer. She said it’s compensation for the losses at the hotel last night.”
Natalia’s pupils dilated in disbelief. “What hotel?!”
Startled by Natalia’s sudden high-pitched tone, The receptionist found some inexplicable satisfaction in witnessing Natalia’s contorted face. Unaware of the specifics, she deliberately exaggerated the situation.
“It’s the designer who spilled things in Mr. Andrews’s hotel suite. So, she bought cufflinks as compensation. I guess the they were together last night.”
Unbeknownst to the receptionist, her fabricated story happened to align with the truth.
Natalia was instantly furious. Through gritted teeth, she muttered, “That wretched woman! Always recklessly seducing someone!”
She wished she could just throw away the cufflinks, but she didn’t dare to handle Nick’s belongings without permission. She could only turn around, seething, and enter Nick’s office.
After Natalia went in, her face resumed a smile.
“Mr. Andrews, this is a gift from Poppy. She said it’s compensation for last night at the hotel.” She deliberately made the statement sound ambiguous, curious to see Nick’s reaction.
Nick furrowed his brow as he took the box and saw the beautiful cufflinks inside, not exactly cheap. Despite carrying millions in debt, she still managed to afford such things.
Natalia pursed her lips and continued, “But Poppy can be a bit too outspoken. Next time, maybe she should refrain from sharing so much, especially in front of the receptionist. Otherwise, your affair with her might become the talk of Andrews Enterprise.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Nick tossed the cufflinks aside, seemingly indifferent. “Mr. Andrews, is it true that you and she…”
“It’s working hours. If you can’t distinguish what your job is at Andrews Enterprise, you might as well submit your resignation,” Nick cut her off.
Natalia, trembling with anger, left the office. Once the door closed, her face contorted with rage. That wretched woman! Damn her!
Nick dealt with some documents, glancing at the cufflinks. Indifferently, he raised his hand and tossed the item into a corner drawer. His phone rang, a message from Victoria.
?Mr. Andrews, have you received the gift?】
Nick didn’t reply. Victoria didn’t expect him to. She closed her phone and proceeded to pour water for Daniel, who was lying on the bed.
Daniel’s face looked grim, refusing the water she offered. “Why didn’t you go to the last banquet? Linda said you left halfway, claiming to have seen Kevin. Are you still in contact with him?”
The last time Victoria admitted to having contact with Jonathan, Daniel was already displeased. Now, learning that she had delayed attending the banquet for someone like Kevin left him trembling with anger.
“Why did you come to see me?! You might as well just infuriate me to death!”
