A slight smile touched Sebastian’s lips. He walked over to the sofa, picked up his wool coat, and left in a good mood.
Natalie didn’t pay much attention to his expression. In the past, no matter how much she cared for him, he never appreciated it or seemed to need her concern.
She picked up her phone to check the time and sent a message to Keith Jones.
[Keith, I’m coming to the office in a bit. I want to look at the design plans. I’ve calculated my available funds, and I think we can handle this ourselves without bringing in investors.]
Once Nayn’s resort was developed, it would be a guaranteed profit.
The smart medical system was a different story. Sebastian had seen it, and he certainly had the resources. But she didn't want to get any more entangled with him. She needed to talk to Matthew Monroe.
Remembering the flash drive was still in Sebastian’s possession, she called him.
Sebastian’s car had just left the estate when he saw Natalie’s name on his screen.
He pulled over to the side of the road, answering in a cheerful mood.
“Natalie, what’s up?” His voice was unconsciously gentle.
Natalie got straight to the point. “That flash drive you took last time. Where is it?”
Sebastian said, “We can talk about that tonight when I get back. If you’re looking for a partner, you can work with me.”
“I’m not working with you. I want to work with Matthew,” Natalie said, thinking about Matthew’s meteoric rise in the future.
Why would she work with Sebastian? Her masochistic tendencies were long gone.
Sebastian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger rising in him. Natalie just had to mention another man to set him off.
“We’ll discuss this when I get home tonight. The terms I offer won’t be any worse than Matthew’s. Natalie, as a doctor, you have a duty of care. I’m sure you’d want to partner with the most capable person to get this technology to those who need it most.”
“Or I can pick you up after work.”
“Don’t bother. We’ll talk when you get back.”
In her past life, Wendy had been completely unguarded around Joanna, which led to her devastating failure.
This time, with Natalie’s warning and with Marshall now on her side, Joanna’s progress had been consistently set back.
Her first step had been a success.
Natalie was in a great mood as she went to meet Keith. When Luna arrived to pick her up, she was still feeling cheerful.
Luna couldn’t help but ask, “Sis, are you getting lovestruck again?”
The question caught Natalie completely off guard.
“Huh?” Natalie stared at Luna, then laughed in disbelief. “Luna, do I look like the type to get lovestruck?”
After starting the car, Luna said quietly, “I don’t know. Someone used to worship the ground Sebastian walked on.”
Natalie suddenly felt the urge to hit her.
