Natalie spoke in a confident voice, "That drama will be a flop."
Lamont did not know why Natalie said that.
"The costume drama is claimed to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot and produce,
let alone the actor who plays with Maggie has won the title of Best actor."
"So what?" Natalie asked, "The ratings for it are going to be miserable. Remember to do as I said, and
don't ask too many questions about other things."
"Okay," Lamont replied.
Natalie waved and said, "See you. Tell me when you make progress."
Lamont wiped his forehead and took a long breath.
Why did I feel a little stressed? Lamont thought.
Wait, how did Natalie know that I had a daughter, Lamont wondered.
Thinking of this, Lamont was sweating again on his forehead.
--
Natalie was picked up by Kendrick's driver throughout the journey.
The car stopped at the park of Ramsey Group.
Kendrick's office was on the 36th floor of Block A. Natalie entered the revolving door. A girl came to
meet her with a gentle and polite attitude and high professionalism, and she kept smiling all the time,
without any extra expression.
The girl was Rose Harmon, a secretary of the President's Office, and her level in the company was two
levels lower than that of Nigel.
"Ma'am, wait here first, please." Rose looked at her watch, pointed to the glass door with her eyes, and
said, "Mr. Ramsey's meeting has just started, maybe you have to wait for a long time. Shall I show you
around the company?"
Natalie arrived at 2:30 in the afternoon.
"No, thanks," Natalie smiled and said, "but I still have something to trouble you."
"It's no trouble, Ma'am. What can I do for you?"
Natalie took out the USB flash drive, handed it to Rose, and asked, "Could you print a document for
me?"
It was too expensive to print documents outside, so Natalie came to the company to get the best deal.
Rose answered, "Oh...Okay, just wait a minute."
Natalie put her hands together and said, "Thank you!"
Rose printed out the document for Natalie, which was more than 80 pages, packed it in a file bag, and
brought it to Natalie with a cup of coffee.
"Let me know if you need anything."
Natalie said politely, "Okay, thank you very much."
After Rose opened the door, her smiling face finally relaxed. She quickly took out her phone and typed
frantically in the chat group of her colleagues who worked in the President's Office.
[I saw Mrs. Ramsey! She is young, pretty, nice, and polite, and her skin is super good. She looks like a
college student.]
[Wow, can I come up and bring Mrs. Ramsey a cup of coffee?]
[No. I've made Mrs. Ramsey a cup of coffee, so don't bother her.]
[Okay~]
----
Natalie put the coffee aside, took out the printed document, and made notes on it with a pen.
The wind chime on the door rang.
Someone came out of Kendrick's office.
"Go and make four cups of coffee with ice. Mine is half sugar without cream, and the others were made
normally."
A cold female voice sounded.
Natalie was so focused on the document that she did not realize that the woman was speaking to her.
"Didn't you hear?"
Natalie raised her head and met a cold and sullen woman's face.
"Are you talking to me?"
"Is there anyone else here besides you?" The woman smiled dismissively.
Natalie looked down again.
"Don't you understand what I said?"
Natalie did not take her eyes off the document, "Do it yourself!"
"...What did you say?" The woman sneered, frowning, "You're fresh here? Who's your manager?
What's your job number?" Finally, she said, "I don't care who you are. That's what your president
means. Do it now!"
Natalie picked her ears and thought this woman was noisy.
There was a "click".
The outer door was opened.
It was Rose who came in.
Rose bowed to the woman and asked, "Ms. Wilson, do you want some coffee? I'll make it."
"Let her do it!" Caitlyn Wilson pointed to Natalie who was sitting calmly.
"Ms. Wilson, I'll do it!" Rose looked rather embarrassed.
Rose dared not to ask the president's wife to make coffee.
Caitlyn still insisted, "Why can't she do it?"
Natalie thought Ms. Wilson was probably a little retarded.
Natalie stood up and asked Caitlyn with a smile, "Are you sure you want me to do it?"
Caitlyn thought Natalie was timid, so raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Of course."
Natalie nodded, "Okay, as long as you are not afraid of me spitting in it."
Hearing this, Caitlyn was speechless.
In the end, Rose went out to make coffee for Caitlyn.
Natalie sat down again and continued to annotate the project description with a pen.
Caitlyn stared at Natalie, and then suddenly spoke softly, "Are you Ken's friend, why have I never seen
you?
After hearing Caitlyn's words, Natalie put down the document in her hand and said, "I'm not Ken's
friend."
"I've known Ken for more than 20 years, and we studied together in Faymany." There was an
inadvertent pride in Caitlyn's words, she said, "I know everyone around him."
Natalie sneered, "Wow!"
Rose pushed the door open, came in, and said, "The coffee has been brewed, should I bring it in
now?"
"Put it here!" Caitlyn ordered.
Rose bent down and put the tray on the coffee table, and instructed, "Be careful not to burn yourself."
Caitlyn picked up a cup of coffee, suddenly exclaimed, "Oops", and let go.
Rose was afraid that Natalie would be scalded, so she tried to block it with her hands quickly, but it was
too late. All the hot coffee was poured into the document that Natalie had just annotated. Rose herself
was also spilled with coffee.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." Caitlyn shrugged indifferently and smiled, "Why didn't you say it was
hot earlier?"
Rose's eyes turned red instantly when she was burnt by the coffee, but she did not dare to say
anything. She held back her tears with pain, said that it was all right, and asked Natalie if she was
scalded.
The humbleness of an employee was vividly reflected at this moment.
Natalie hurriedly stood up and took Rose's hand to check. It had been scalded with blisters. Countless
thoughts flashed through Natalie's mind for a moment, but she calmed down and said, "Go to the
bathroom and flush the burnt part with water for at least five minutes. Is there a medicine kit?"
"It doesn't matter." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Just go!"
"Okay, I'll ask Nadia Beard to bring you the medicine kit."
Natalie immediately went out and found scald medicine, alcohol pads, and iodophor in the medicine kit.
She asked Nadia to find another needle.
Nadia asked, "Is the acne needle OK?"
"Yes, as long as it has been disinfected."
When Rose came back, Natalie first used a cotton swab dipped in iodophor to disinfect Rose's burns,
then wiped the needle with an alcohol swab and said, "It hurts a bit. Just hold it."
Then Natalie quickly popped the blister to evacuate the pus, and then applied the ointment.
"Be careful not to touch the water these days, and apply the ointment on time." Natalie put away the
medicine kit and assured, "Don't worry, there will be no scars."
Rose nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Ramsey."
"Who is that woman?"
"It's Caitlyn Wilson, the daughter of Max Wilson, the chairman of Convenience Real Estate. Mr.
Ramsey is talking things over with her father now."
Caitlyn Wilson?
Caitlyn seemed to be a character who did not even deserve a name in the original novel.
Although Natalie herself was also not important in the original novel, she still had a name.
What right had Caitlyn to dictate to me? Natalie thought.
"They came today for the development project in West Goldburg, which has been discussed for a long
time and has not been finalized yet." Rose explained carefully, and then said in a low voice, "Mr. Wilson
has not dropped his claim before, but recently there has been a problem with the group's capital flow."
As soon as Rose finished speaking, her face changed.
Natalie turned her face and saw Caitlyn pushing open the glass door and coming out.
Natalie's lips curled up, and there was a burst of coldness on her face.
Caitlyn went into the bathroom. When she came out to wash her hands, she suddenly heard someone
behind give her a Hi, as if greeting her.
Caitlyn looked up, and then saw Natalie's smiling face reflected in the mirror.
Before Caitlyn could react, she felt heat on her head, and then a pinprick-like feeling hit her.
A cup of hot coffee was fully splashed on Caitlyn's head.
