Unfortunately, it would take more than a promise to keep Natalie calm. After she took a deep breath, she asked, “If that’s the case, are you indicating things will remain the same into the near future?”
As Shane went dead silent, Natalie closed her eyes and announced, “Alright, I guess I’ll just play along with you.”
She hung up the call once she wrapped up the conversation. After she made her way back to her room, she shut herself in and skipped her meal again.
Concerned, Mrs. Wilson headed upstairs and knocked on the door to check on Natalie. Natalie refused to answer the door, but she reassured Mrs. Wilson she was fine.
Mrs. Wilson knew that wasn’t the case when she heard Natalie sniffling in the room. However, she couldn’t seem to talk any sense into the weeping woman. Thus, she returned to the dining hall in despair.
Natalie, who was in a foul mood, had committed serious mistakes in several deals with different customers. She had handed over the wrong blueprints to the wrong customers.
If it weren’t because Joyce managed to intercept the blueprints in time, things would spiral out of control soon.
Irked by the fact Natalie seemed to be in a daze in her office again, Joyce barged into Natalie’s office and yelled, “Nat, look at the silly mistakes you have committed over the past two days!” Truth be told, she was heartbroken because of the things Natalie had to go through, which rendered her lethargic.
Slamming the blueprints on Natalie’s table, Joyce reprimanded, “You have neglected every single instruction and requirement of the customers! Not even the agreement that requires your immediate attention has been signed! Your life is a mess! When are you going to pull yourself together?”
Staring at the stack of blueprints on her table, Natalie remained silent since she was the one at fault.
“Nat, you have always been our role model, but you don’t even bother to dress up for work! Are you sure that jerk is worth your time? Can you give yourself a break already?”
“Joyce, you won’t get it—”
