Chapter 149
Natalie went to the headquarters of Dream.
Immediately after she walked into the lobby, she saw Yandel in a violet suit. He was looking at the entrance anxiously, awaiting her arrival. The corner of his lips raised the moment he saw Natalie appear.
“You are finally here,” Yandel greeted. “I heard from Ross about everything that happened in the Watsons residence yesterday. You are amazing!”
“Actually, you don‘t have to wait for me at the entrance,” Natalie said with a smile. “The private elevator has recorded my thumbprint. I can go up myself.”
“Since I know you‘re coming, I should personally greet you to show my sincerity.”
As Yandel was not an easygoing person, all the workers in the building were shocked to see that he was escorting Natalie to the elevator. Besides, they were stunned to see that Yandel and Natalie could converse merrily,
After the elevator doors closed, Yandel thought of the other workers of the company and said, “Boss, you really keep a low profile. Sadly, they don‘t know you‘re the owner of Dream.”
Natalie replied with a grin, “I‘m not trying to keep a low profile. It‘s just that it‘ll be boring for me if I show everything I have at the start!”
“I understand.” He let out a sigh. “I feel that people should know you‘re a great person. Unfortunately, they don‘t.”
“You‘ve said it...”
“What did I say?” He did not understand what she meant.
“You said you understand me,” explained Natalie. Then, she tapped his shoulder as she said with a smile, “Those who understand me will naturally know what my intentions are. Hence, I only need to care about those that understand me.”
Yandel was stunned. After pausing for a short while, he realized that he should not be shocked. That is Natalie. Many men look up to her honesty and positive attitude toward life.
Meanwhile, in the CEO‘s office, Ross stood in front of the window as he fixed his gaze on the bustling streets below.
When he heard steady footsteps coming in his direction, Ross turned around and greeted with a smile, “Good morning, Ms. Nichols.”
Although this was not the first time she saw Ross‘ smile, it was the first time she saw him let out a smile so naturally. It felt as though all his stresses and burdens were all gone.
“Good morning,” greeted Natalie politely.
At that moment, the two understood each other‘s minds.
Minutes later, Yandel came in with a cup of coffee and two pieces of cookies.
“Boss, try the coffee I brew for you before we start talking about work.” Yandel served Natalie the food. He seemed nothing like his usual self.
Clearing his throat, Ross asked, “Mr. Moss, do I get some of that?”
“I can give you the coffee beans, and I can ask my secretary to make a cup of coffee for you.” After a short pause, Yandel continued, “I can only brew coffee for Boss.”
“Since it‘s for Ms. Nichols, I will let this slide.”
Listening to their conversation, Natalie felt lucky as she had two capable subordinates as her assistants. Moreover, they pampered her like a princess.
The main objective the three of them met up for the day was to discuss a business strategy to acquire Thomas‘ pharmaceutical company, Dexmed Pharmaceutical.
