Over the next two days, Natalie and her team camped out in a coffee shop across the street from the
Financial International Center to save time.
Karina boldly reserved the entire place to provide the team a quiet workspace. Once they made the
necessary modifications to the designs there, Natalie would deliver the drafts to Apex Global Group for
Irwin’s review.
After his review.
she would return to the coffee shop for any further revisions.
The process wasn’t as smooth as Natalie had initially thought. Irwin turned out to be exceptionally
meticulous. After multiple revisions, Natalie realized she had been wrong about him.
He was more demanding than she could have imagined.
“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t match the previous excellence. The same specific areas need to be improved,” he said as he returned the drafts to her.
Natalie’s heart raced, realizing that tonight would likely be her final opportunity!
If she didn’t hand in the perfect draft by tomorrow morning, her cooperation with Apex Global would come to an end.
She couldn’t let this chance slip through her fingers!
Once Cedric got involved, she would definitely face additional obstacles in her business…
Back at the coffee shop, it was time to get off work. The team watched Natalie with bated breath. Karina’s anxiety levels were rising as well.
After all the effort they had invested, they were eager for a breakthrough.
“There are revisions,” Natalie uttered, and the entire team slumped in response.
Natalie slumped into her seat with the same dejected feeling.
Karina approached her, offering words of encouragement. “Don’t lose heart. Our team is just getting started, and working with Apex Global can provide us with valuable experience.”
While the words were reassuring, Natalie’s frustrations increased.
If they couldn’t produce a satisfying draft after tonight, it would only be the b
Natalie took a deep breath and said, “He wants us to revise the same specific areas. Let’s get to it!”
The pressure weighed heavily on her, as Apex Global was now a significant client for her budding team!
Karina nodded and gathered everyone for a meeting to discuss what specific changes they needed to make this evening and how to go about it.
Natalie hadn’t been in the workforce for many years, and facing

Uch an obstacle at the start made her
n this journey.
But she knew that Stephen expected success from her once she embarked on this
As they delved into their discussion, her phone buzzed on the table.
It was a call from Cedric.
Natalie closed her eyes briefly, her petite face filled with irritation.
Still, she answered, “Hello.”
“Are you still working overtime?” Cedric asked.
“Yes,” Natalie replied.
“I’m outside the coffee shop, Cedric said.
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew that a man who hadn’t even agreed to a divorce wouldn’t easily let her go, but she hadn’t
anticipated him keeping such a close watch on her.
She felt like she was constantly being monitored,
Annoyance welled up inside her!
“Is there a point to this?”
She was already having a tough time at Apex Global. With Cedric showing up like this, Natalie couldn’t hold back her frustrations any longer.
The man on the phone seemed to sense her exasperation, and his tone changed.
“Come out!” Cedric said forcefully
“I’m busy!”
“Do you want me to come in and drag you out?” Cedric threatened.
Natalie was furious. Karina obviously sensed that something was wrong and walked over.
“Hey now, everyone’s working here,” Karina said.
Tension was running high, with everyone working overtime and stressing out. Karina didn’t want Natalie to disrupt the team’s focus.
Natalie initially didn’t want to leave. But when she saw her colleagues all on edge, she eventually stood up and stepped outside.
She exited the coffee shop to see Cedric’s extravagant car parked conspicuously by the curb, its windows
halfway down.
She couldn’t be bothered to even glance at them. She disregarded the attacks on herself and focused entirely on her work.
