Natalie thought it was ridiculous that others believed they could come into Goodwill Pharmacy, throw a tantrum, and act entitled just because they had money. Did they really believe Goodwill Pharmacy would put up with any humiliation just to make a sale? Not a chance.
Thomas nodded firmly. "Got it. I'll give the order. No matter who comes to pick up Julia's medicine, we won't sell it."
"But Nat, I overheard your call with Mr. Sinclair. If he shows up and tries to plead with us, are we selling it to him or not?" Thomas asked curiously.
Although Sinclair Group was not on the level of the Walker family, they were still a legacy corporation in Dithoria State. The older generation of Sinclairs had been influential figures, though the company had declined under Ivan's leadership.
Nevertheless, even a faltering giant still commanded respect in certain circles. Hence, Goodwill Pharmacy had always maintained a professional relationship with them.
Of course, that respect had not come cheap. In the past two years, they had made five million dollars from Julia's prescriptions alone—2.5 million dollars per year.
Thomas chuckled to himself at the amount, snapping out of his thoughts when Natalie spoke. "Don't worry, Mr. Zachman. Let Ivan come. I understand exactly what Mr. Langton intended."
"Got it. I'll follow your lead," Thomas replied.
"Good. You can prepare Julia's prescription, but wait for my signal before brewing it," Natalie said.
Then, she checked her phone and saw a new message from Marcus. She opened it to find a list of familiar dishes.
Marcus: "I already asked Noah to deliver these. Make sure you eat on time. Your health matters."
Natalie: "?"
Marcus: "Send me a picture when you're done. I need to confirm that you didn't skip the meal."
Natalie sighed, thinking, "Is Marcus serious right now? What is he, my babysitter? I'm not a child who needs reminders to eat."
Then, another message from Marcus arrived. "If you need my help with Sophia's situation, just say the word."
Natalie: "Marcus, do you really have so much free time on your hands?"
Marcus: "Not really."
He was actually extremely busy, but no matter how hectic things got, he would always make time for her.
Marcus: "The food should be there soon. Let me know what you want next time, and I'll have Noah deliver it."
Natalie: "Thanks, but there's no need to trouble yourself."
Marcus: "It's no trouble. I owe you, Natalie, and you're not stopping me from paying that debt."
Natalie groaned internally, not knowing how to reply to his message. She had known it was a mistake to let Marcus find out she was his savior.
Now, there was no undoing it. Whatever. If he wanted to send food, let him.
"Ms. Walker, Mr. Sinclair is here. He's asking to see you," Zane said nervously as he peeked through the curtain.
"Ms. Walker, that old hag probably tattled on you. Be careful! Don't worry, though. I'm here to protect you," he added.
Zane barely had time to finish pledging his loyalty before Noah casually moved him aside. "Mr. Holt, excuse me," Noah said politely with a nod and a smile.
