President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 285

Nancy’s eyes widened with shock.

“You saw all that?”

Natalia nodded.

“Then why’d you agree to let her come? If you know she’s digging a pit for you, why are you jumping in?”

Natalia smiled.

“How is she digging a pit for me? She’s out of options and needs a job and I need a capable experienced secretary. Isn’t it the best of both situations if she comes over? It’s a win-win, what kind of pit is this?”

Nancy fell silent.

After a while, she shot Natalia a grudging look.

“Fine, if you think you can trust her again, then we’ll trust her again. But don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on her from now on and I definitely won’t let her stab you in the back.”

Looking at the way she was treating it like an enemy was approaching, Natalia wanted to laugh.

Nancy was a typical all-action person.

She felt that if someone betrayed you once, they could never be trusted again.

But she didn’t consider that there were plenty of factors in life that forced one’s hand.

If Natalia had to put herself in Rosa’s shoes, she had a sick mother on one side and a complete stranger on the other. She would have made the same choice.

Natalia didn’t linger on the topic. After they got in the car, they headed straight back to Pinewood.

It was just around nine at night when they arrived home.

Archie had called Mrs. Dottie here from Julio, and she too was living in Pinewood Manor and taking care of the place.

Anne, on the other hand, was still in poor health and needed to go to school, plus she had to see a doctor regularly. Both Natalia and Archie had to work, so of course they couldn’t stay with her all the time, so she remained at the old home.

When it was the weekends or Natalia and Archie were free, only then did she come over the play.

Natalia and Nancy got out the car and walked over to the doorway, then both sharply realized something wasn’t right.

The lights were fully on in the mansion, and the servants were all standing in the living room. Mrs. Dottie stood at the forefront. Seeing Natalia and Nancy come in from the corner of her eye, she motioned towards them.

Understanding, Natalia cocked an eyebrow.

She took a few steps in and heard a harsh, severe female voice.

“This is Eqitin, not a backwater countryside like Julio. You need to know who you’re working for. We have our own rules in the McCarthy household, so we can’t have people thinking we’re all bumpkins.”

On the sofa at the center, Faye sat there, legs crossed, swirling a cup of tea casually and lecturing from on high.

Hearing her words, Nancy instantly understood who she was mocking. Her face changed, and she was about to speak up.

Natalia stopped her and placed a finger over her lips, signaling her not to make noise.

Seeing that, Nancy tamped down on herself and took a step back.
