All Chapters of Who's the Substitute Now?: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Joshua said grimly, "Don't blame yourself for this. Mom's the unreasonable one. Don't worry, though. I'll have a proper conversation with her when I have the time."Honestly, I have no idea when she became like this. She can't even control her emotions anymore! "I'm sorry about this, but it seems you'll have to tolerate her after you've married me."Natalie played with her fingers. "Well, are you gonna spend the night with me, Josh? It's already so late."She and Joshua hadn't slept together since they met each other, and it wasn't for the lack of trying. None of her past attempts had succeeded; she wanted to give it another shot.Once she was pregnant with Joshua's child, Lorelei wouldn't be so adamant anymore. She would have even more reason to marry Joshua."I'll be sleeping at the company tonight. I'll drop you off at the apartment first," Joshua said calmly. There had been too many issues at the company. The research for the new drug they were developing had plateaued,

An idea occurred to Natalie as she took in Joshua's perfect face. She got up to make coffee. Then, she carefully brought it over to Joshua's desk. For some reason, she lost her grip on the mug and accidentally spilled some coffee on her skirt. She yelped.Joshua hurriedly grabbed some tissues to wipe the coffee away. "Why were you so careless? Did it scald you?""I didn't do it on purpose. I only wanted to make you some coffee; I don't know why I lost my grip on the mug. Don't get mad at me, please…" Natalie shook her head as she spoke. "I didn't get scalded. I waited for it to cool down a little before bringing it to you."Joshua couldn't tell whether she was actually injured because she was fully clothed, so he was worried. He pulled his phone out and made a call. "Have a doctor come to my office right now."Natalie shook her head. "I'm fine, really. There's no need to go to such trouble. It's just that I can't wear these clothes anymore."Joshua caressed her head and

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

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

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
