Trevor knew about Natalie's divorce from Henry. He had anticipated Natalie's response.He smirked and met Natalie's eyes. "I told you, this is the company's decision. Do you think we, workers, can refuse the company's decisions?"Natalie understood the situation as well. Although she had gained recognition in the field of architectural design through the Creative Visions Competition, she would still have a hard time if she were fired from Dawn Corporation.She had worked hard to secure her current job. She didn't want to risk it."The higher-ups said you'll get a raise if the project is a success, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future. It will be a different situation if you refuse." Trevor paused. "Do you understand where I'm getting at?"Natalie balled her fists and finally signed the document.Trevor nodded in satisfaction. "This is an urgent project on Blue Ocean Group's end. You will need to finish up the designs soon. Later, the company will send someone t
Henry glanced at Jennifer. There wasn't an ounce of warmth in his eyes. "You only deserve my schemes."Jennifer smiled. She seemed resigned as she nodded and said, "Alright, since Mr. Chase wants this to happen, then I shall listen to you."They had many days ahead of them anyway.She would have to put in the effort if she wanted to fight for a place in his heart. She had to get used to the feeling of being hurt by him.Henry ignored her and began to look through his documents.Jennifer looked at him meaningfully before leaving his office. Then, she returned to her office and collected her belongings. Before she left, she looked around at her office. Leaving her office wasn't too big of a deal.She didn't want the title "Leading Counsel of Blue Ocean Group." She wanted the title of "Mrs. Chase" instead.Her feelings for Henry did not develop overnight.A few years ago, when Henry had just joined the business industry, he hadn't had any support from his family. He needed inves
Henry slowly changed his posture. The amusement on his face deepened. "Am I mixing company business with personal affairs, or is Ms. Shepherd overthinking things?"Natalie was dumbfounded as she looked at him warily.Was she really overthinking things?"Have a seat. The briefing for this project is also quite time-consuming," Henry spoke as he moved his mouse.The big screen in front of them lit up.Natalie looked at his focused expression. Only then did Natalie find it more believable that he meant business. Henry couldn't help but tease Natalie when he saw her still standing there."Why are you standing there unmoving? Don't tell me you want me to talk about our personal affairs instead?"Natalie narrowed her eyes in slight embarrassment. She quickly found the furthest seat from him and sat down. "You can start now."Henry was displeased with her seat choice. He frowned and looked at her. "Out of respect for our cooperation, shouldn't you sit elsewhere?""I'm good here." N
"What did the doctor say?" Henry began to feel anxious. Perhaps it was because he understood the pain of losing a child, so he didn't want to see it happen to other people.Natalie's heart dropped at Esther's words.She couldn't help but glance at the surgery room. Although they were standing outside the room, they could still occasionally hear Shirley shouting in pain.She hoped everything would go well.However, Shirley would be traumatized if something happened to her child. After all, she had carried that child with her for ten months.She was almost about to see the child with her own eyes.Esther sighed with grievance. "The doctor said they'd do their best. It's because the baby isn't in stable condition …""How can that be? Didn't all her check-ups say that there weren't any problems?" Henry asked anxiously.He had watched Harry's efforts to prepare for the child. He had heard from Esther that Harry had set up a nursery in his home.The nursery was filled with supplie
"Sir, please calm down. We've done everything we could to keep the baby alive. Even your wife asked us to prioritize this child. However, your child seemed to have stopped breathing before it was born."The doctor briefly explained the situation.Henry closed his eyes. He looked like he was in pain.Everyone could tell the pain was because of the child."Doctor, what about the mother? How is she?" Natalie couldn't stand it anymore. Thus, she spoke up to ask about Natalie's condition.Everyone would feel bad after losing the child.However, Shirley should also receive everyone's concern and care."She lost a lot of blood, and her body is weak. She'll probably need to stay in the hospital for a few days for monitoring."The doctor paused. His gaze seemed uncomfortable. "Furthermore …""What else?" Natalie quickly asked. She was very concerned about Shirley's condition."This miscarriage has hurt her body greatly. It might be difficult for her to get pregnant again." The doctor
"I wouldn't have returned abroad if it weren't for someone important. That way, my ears wouldn't have to endure so much." Sheldon was looking at Natalie when he spoke.Natalie smiled. "The important person you're talking about is that girl of yours, right?"Sheldon didn't deny it. Instead, he admitted it generously. "Yes. It's her."Natalie suddenly thought of something due to their conversation."Give me a minute. I want to give you something!" Natalie smiled at him and left his office.Soon, she returned with a small box.Sheldon was perplexed as he looked at her. "What is this?"Natalie didn't explain anything. She merely placed the box before him. "Open it and see!"Sheldon watched her mysterious smile. His terrible mood instantly improved.Since he had returned from abroad for her, he had to accept the challenges he would face after returning from abroad.At least he couldn't show her such a side of him. He only wanted her to see his optimistic and cheerful side.Sheldo
They had been married for two years. Throughout the two years, Shirley had heard of the rumors from the people around her.People had told her about Harry's ex-girlfriend. They said that if it weren't for her, Harry would have married his ex.Shirley had always tried hard not to overthink about such things. She had tried to focus on how well Harry had treated her. But she could tell he did not treat her so kindly out of love.She had just chosen to live in denial.However, reality seemed to have given her a hard slap, waking her from her delusions.Harry's gaze showed his discomfort. "Shirley, now is not the time to talk about such things … "I don't have the emotional capacity to say something like that to you either."Shirley didn't force him as she sat there in silence."Alright. It's quite late now. You should rest. Your eyes are already red and swollen from crying." Harry stood up. He considerately helped her lay down and tucked her in.Harry left her ward after ens
"Was I supposed to introduce myself as your ex-husband when we were in such a position?" Henry turned to look at Natalie meaningfully.He could tell she felt repulsed at the thought of being in a relationship with him.Her repulsion made him feel terrible.There was a time when she would have wanted nothing more but to announce to the world that she was his wife.But now … Her attitude was completely different."Are you telling me you don't think you did anything wrong?" Natalie could hear the underlying meaning in his words.Henry looked straight ahead as he raised his head. He said confidently, "Of course. I didn't do anything wrong."Then, he started the car and drove away.Natalie could not accept his attitude toward the situation. She said unhappily, "Stop the car at the side of the road. I'll call a cab to the hospital. There's no need to trouble you."They could not agree on anything. Being in the same car as him would only ruin her mood. "Natalie, I just didn't cor
