It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1704

"Sorry. I am busy and I have some important work to deal with." What Annie said could not be more obvious. She was implying that Eleanor should go away now.

"Keep what you said today in mind. Humph!" Eleanor sneered at her with a disdainful look. Then she turned around and left arrogantly, being confident that her message was delivered and her warning was heard.

After Eleanor left, Annie felt so upset that she threw her pen on the table. 'That bitch! How shameless she is! Rain has never admitted that she is his girlfriend. Even if he did, why would she come over and brag to me in my face? I have nothing to do with their business!' Annie was simmering with rage.

She took a deep breath to suppress her anger. Because of what happened, she felt like she lost her motivation to work hard. So she just kept sitting on the chair, staring blankly at the wall.

Belinda knocked on the open door, trying to get Annie's attention. However, the latter did not come to herself, lost deep in her blank thoughts. So Belinda just walked in with a smiling face.

"Annie, are you okay? Annie." Belinda frowned and couldn't help wondering what she was thinking about. She seemed to be utterly lost in her mind. She had left work early yesterday. Was she bothered by something?

"Oh! Belinda, it's you! I'm sorry." Annie raised the corners of her mouth and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Was that Eleanor? What did she come here for? Jeez! Did she come to you just to pick up a fight again?!" Belinda could ascertain that Eleanor came to find fault with Annie as long as she appeared in the company.

"Oh, no. She was just complaining a bit. Nothing serious. I can handle it." Annie smiled bitterly. People would not cherish things until those things were taken away from them. That was exactly what was happening to her now.

"You have to be strong and never back down when dealing with arrogant people like her. Otherwise, she would think that you are weak and she would keep bullying you. 'Bully the weak and fear the strong' is one of their life mottos." Belinda hated these kinds of people the most and she had a technique to deal with them. The best way was to be strong and powerful at the very start so as to establish who could and could not be bullied.

"She is probably just too young. That is common among the younger generation nowadays. But thanks for asking and for your advice." Somehow, Annie felt helpless and oppressed compared to Belinda. That feeling just came from nowhere. Belinda was capable, experienced and decisive, who never hesitated when dealing with a problem. Compared with Belinda, Annie was unsure and indecisive.

"Annie, I heard that..." Belinda bit her lower lip and hesitated whether she should try to ask or not.

"Yes? What's the matter, Belinda?" Annie looked at her, puzzled.

"Oh, nothing. A meeting is waiting for me. So yeah, go ahead and focus on your work. Good job. Bye." Belinda wanted to ask her something. But after a brief pause, she believed that it was inappropriate for her to do so. She then decided to remain silent about it and left immediately to avoid any awkwardness.
