It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 780

"It's none of your business and that is not true. You think Belinda is as vain as you are? Next time, consider well who you plan on bribing before offering them money. Just in case you make a fool of yourself again." Duke moved toward the exclusive elevator as soon as he finished his last sentence, leaving Rachel standing alone in the parking lot.

Belinda, Belinda, Belinda. That name was all he mentioned. What was so special about her? Why was she so important to Duke? Rachel wondered, 'Why does he hate me so much? What can I do to change his mind?' It seemed difficult. But she wouldn't give up so easily. She would persist as long as there was even a trace of hope. Once again, she mustered all her courage and confidence to start plotting. She would make Duke choose her over Belinda in the end. He had to.

Duke stood against the back of the elevator with his eyes closed. He was frustrated. After everything that had apparently happened last evening, Belinda had remained calm when they were together. She hadn't even been angry at him. Did he mean anything at all to her? How could she mention nothing to him after a woman had acted so insultingly toward her?

He sighed quietly. All the sweetness and romance from the night seemed ironic now. Maybe it had been a one-sided affair. Maybe it had just been him who had been moved at that moment. He felt so silly.

Duke walked into his office with a long face. His good mood had deflated. The entire morning, everyone within a five hundred meter radius could sense that the boss was upset. Not one employee dared to speak loudly, afraid it would cause him to have an outburst. It was so quiet that one would be able to hear a pin drop.

Hero had been in a coma after the operation. Daisy was about to give up hope when she got a call from Tom saying he had finally come around. That was exciting news indeed. Daisy was much relieved. She wanted to pay him a visit, but she was in the middle of training in a mountain right now. It had to wait.

Daisy had been quite busy with training projects. She left home at the first light of morning and came back very late. As energetic as she was, she was exhausted at the end of the day,. The soldiers were a different matter altogether. So she planned to give them two days off after the survival training. It happened to be Duke and Belinda's wedding the day after tomorrow, so she too would take some time off to attend the nuptials.

"Colonel, are we really going to spend 24 hours here?" Mark asked as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead. It was dry and sweltering in the mountain. Luckily, the trees provided some welcome shade.

"Yes, that's right. We must find food for ourselves. And tell everyone to be careful with the fire," Daisy said, biting her chapped lips. After all, safety came first. This wasn't her first survival training with the soldiers. She thought that the soldiers had acquired basic knowledge about survival.

"Yes, Colonel." Mark saluted Daisy and turned to deliver her new instructions to the company leaders.

Daisy was wearing a camouflaging uniform. Even her face had been camouflaged to disguise. Only by her coiled hair could one tell who she was.
