Joshua's expression was ugly, but the anger in his voice wasn't obvious. "So, will the drug's production be delayed because of this failure? How long will it take?"The drug's production was of the utmost importance to Grayson Corporation. They'd failed to develop their anti-cancer drug all these years, and Blenoxane, their flagship drug, had been licensed to them by Radiance Biomed.Now that something was wrong with this anti-cancer drug, Joshua's heart raced as anger washed over him."It'll be delayed by… at least two years…"Two years? It'd be too late for them by the time they could produce the drug! Joshua's gaze turned ice-cold, and he exuded frostiness. "Do you think you hold some responsibility for this?""Yes, sir…" the person in charge said tremulously. He knew how important the drug was to Grayson Corporation. He couldn't help trembling all over."You can pack your things now. Don't ever show up before me again." Joshua's voice was cold and ruthless. He couldn't ca
It didn't take long for Ben to enter the room and say, "I've already spoken to the people at Radiance Biomed, sir. "They said their president isn't in the country and that they have no idea where he is.""Not in the country?" Joshua's frown deepened. He looked at Ben. "Are you sure they're telling the truth and that Zack isn't just looking for excuses not to meet with us?"Ben scratched his head. "We're pretty sure Radiance Biomed isn't lying—they haven't seen Zack for days. "The possibility of them lying occurred to me, so I probed a few other companies for some news. They haven't seen him around, either."Joshua twisted his silver cufflinks as his frown deepened even more. Then, he waved a hand at Ben. "You can go now."Natasha received a call from Ryan in the morning. He told her the laboratory was ready. She excitedly prepared to head over there.She drove to the laboratory, where Ryan was already waiting for her. Though he was her assistant, he hadn't seen her for thr
Ryan returned to his senses. "Yeah, let's head inside.""Oh, right. I need you to get me a lab suit," Natasha said as she wore a mask. She walked ahead of Ryan as she took the elevator to the lab."I've already prepared one for you." Ryan was right behind her. He carefully handed her the suit. He still couldn't help feeling nervous.Natasha took the suit from him. "The herbs I mentioned to you before are in the trunk; I didn't want to trouble you to have to pick them up. You can bring them in now."Ryan nodded and turned to get the herbs. Natasha changed into the suit and entered the laboratory. She walked around and took in the environment. It was spacious—spacious enough that it felt almost wasteful.Every instrument she'd need for her research had already been prepared. There were even the latest tools that she'd seen in magazines.Ryan brought the herbs over. "Where should I put these, professor?"Natasha pointed at a spot. Ryan put the herbs down and looked ar
Joshua had rejected the call. Was he refusing to answer Natasha's calls? What did he mean by that?Natasha blinked in confusion. Had Natalie stopped him from answering the phone, or was it just that he didn't want to speak to her?She shook her head at her phone, which showed that the call had been rejected. It seemed he wasn't interested in her bringing the divorce papers to him. He'd quickly rejected the call, but she still wanted to get the divorce over with!Natasha complained about Joshua a bit more before stuffing her phone back into her bag a little angrily. Then, she drove away from the laboratory.Wait, no. Now that she thought about it, she recalled having ignored Joshua's messages before. IIt wasn't a surprise he'd refused to answer her call, then. This thought appeased her a little; she wasn't as angry as before.She would just make a trip to the company, then.Natasha walked into the Grayson Corporation building. She'd been there several times before, but B
Natasha turned away and called Joshua again. The receptionist raised an eyebrow at this as her mockery deepened. She'd already made herself clear, yet Natasha was refusing to look. Fine, then. She'd wait to see what happened.The phone rang for a long time before going unanswered. Natasha's expression darkened. She tried to remain patient as she said, "Could you help me inform Mr. Grayson about this, then? Tell him Natasha Sullivan's here to give him some divorce papers."The receptionist couldn't help thinking it was the funniest joke she'd heard in ages.She secretly rolled her eyes. It looked like Natasha didn't just think too highly of herself—she also wasn't right in the head.Was she here to deliver divorce papers? Was she saying she and Joshua were married? Was she out of her mind?The receptionist grudgingly picked up the phone and dialed the president's office. Her tone immediately became warm and gentle as she said, "Hi, this is the receptionist. I'd like to
Natalie smiled. She didn't expect such a show while bringing Joshua some snacks, delight filling her as she watched Natasha being put in her place.Natalie's heart had skipped a beat when the front desk called the CEO's office as she worried about Joshua still having feelings for Natasha. So, Natalie felt a sudden rush of satisfaction as she heard Joshua bluntly reject Natasha. It seemed like Joshua was completely over Natasha now. Natasha turned her head and spotted the familiar beaming face and wondered why she kept bumping into Natalie. Giving the other woman a look over, Natasha noticed the intricate wooden box Natalie held, which was clearly used for snacks. Was Natalie here to deliver snacks to Joshua?Natasha remembered how harshly she'd spoken to Natalie the other day. She'd all but tossed the evidence in Joshua's face. So, she didn't understand how Natalie was able to keep smiling like nothing had happened.Natasha was so taken aback by Natalie's ability to with
The receptionist responded with a disdainful expression, clearly not believing Natalie's words.She was sure Natalie was just another woman with wild fantasies.After the call connected, Natalie deliberately put the call on speaker.She wanted to make sure that the receptionist and the security guards standing outside could hear the conversation clearly. More importantly, Natasha had to understand how much Natalie meant to Joshua."Natty?" A deep voice asked."Hey, Josh. I'm downstairs. I recently learned to make simple desserts, so I brought some for you," Natalie said playfully. "You're downstairs? Don't trouble yourself. Just ask Gina to make them next time." Joshua's voice exposed his weariness, but he still spoke to Natalie patiently and calmly. Shooting the receptionist a smug expression, Natalie replied, "I can't help you at work, so this is the only thing I can do to cheer you up."The receptionist's eyes widened when she heard Joshua's voice. She couldn't believe
The assistant was surprised to hear that Natasha was an orphan."Don't you realize how ironic your words are? Don't you feel ashamed?" Once again, Natasha was learning how shameless Natalie could be.She didn't understand how Natalie could spout such lies without batting an eyelid. Noticing the assistant, Natalie smiled. "Why should I? I think you should feel more ashamed than me. Well, you shouldn't be afraid of what others might say if you're brave enough to do such things."Just then, the assistant approached them politely. "Ms. Lovelace, Mr. Grayson asked me to come and get you."He stood aside and completely ignored Natasha as though she were a stranger.Natasha glanced at the man and smirked cooly inside. He was clearly just another calculating bootlicker. Natalie gave the man a small nod and gave Natasha a self-satisfied look. "Sorry for troubling you.""Of course not. It's my pleasure to escort you."By now, the assistant had figured out that the scale was
