Chapter 967 High Expectations Lead To Disappointment
That afternoon, Jesper went to the office with three bags in his hand, as per usual.
“Mr. York asked me to bring this here,” Jesper announced. “This pink one is yours, and the blue ones are theirs,” he said to Natalie, carefully separating the bags.
Natalie could not help but feel indebted to Xander as she saw how he sent things to her almost every day.
“Mr. Iglehart, did you tell Mr. York that I asked him to stop sending us food?” she asked.
Jesper replied courteously, “I did. He said that if you don’t feel good about receiving things for free, you can just pay him after this. I will give you a receipt stating how much is spent on food, medical bill, delivery service, and so on.”
Natalie was astonished. That was not what she expected to come from the assistant.
“I’ll take that as a yes?” Jesper asked.
Before Natalie could answer, he bowed respectfully and left.
Looking at the three bags before her, Natalie felt conflicted.
She had already told the man what she thought about him, but he still insisted on doing all this for her.
Wait, I’m paying for all this. I’m not leeching him off. With that thought in mind, Natalie took the two blue bags and walked toward Yandel and Lia’s offices.
Initially, they weren’t hungry because they were too busy working, yet when they saw the food Natalie brought, they suddenly felt famished. After thanking her, they began devouring the food.
As for Natalie, she went back to her own office with the pink bag in her hand.
When she opened the bag, she saw a big bowl of mushroom soup with meatballs.
She could tell from the fragrance and color that the food must be scrumptious. Looking at the meatballs floating in the soup, her appetite became better.
Using the spoon, she tasted a mouthful of soup.
The mushroom soup tasted delicious, and the meatballs were succulent. All of a sudden, Natalie felt she was energized.
