Chapter 776 Suspicious Circumstances
“Give me more time! I can turn this around! Once we’re on top again, I promise to double your salary-”
Before Thomas could finish, the assistant hung up the phone. A beeping tone was all he heard from the other end.
“B*stard!” Thomas bellowed as he threw the phone in his hand, gritting his teeth in frustration.
After Yara’s disappearance, his servants in his home and his employees in his company resigned one after another. Despite their apparent loyalty to him in the past, nothing Thomas said at that point could convince anybody to even come close to him.
Not a single one is left to help me at the merest sign of disaster!
As a result of his foul mood, the wound on his left hand festered. It became so bad that the severe pain kept him up at night.
Thomas could not bear it any longer. Fumbling for the painkillers on the coffee table, he swallowed the pills with a gulp of water and felt slightly better.
Sprawled helplessly on his carpet, Thomas knew that only Natalie could save him at this juncture.
As long this daughter of mine can forgive me, I have a chance of reattaining my past glories.
Over the following couple of days, Natalie had been bombarded with Thomas’ requests to speak across every communication medium conceivable.
Yandel watched Natalie end the call for what seemed like the twentieth time as he was seated in her office. “This old man actually got a hold of your contact information, Boss,” he said with a frown. “You’re his last chance for salvation, it seems.”
There was no change in Natalie’s expression. “When a person is desperate enough, any form of therapy will seem like salvation. Thomas seems to have forgotten that I was the biggest catalyst to have put him in this wretched situation he is in today. If he tries reaching to me for help, he will only fall quicker and more painfully.”
