My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 969

In the evening, Naomi laid on the bed and thought about Nelson's words from just a while ago about

how nervous he had been.

His words had been sweet and warm.

She took out her mobile phone, and she could not help but want to send another message to Nelson.

However, as soon as she picked up her phone, a message came in.

It read, 'Have you received the flowers? You are not in good health. You'd better rest early! Good night!'

Naomi suddenly shot up from the bed again.

She had forgotten about Benedict's flowers!

"Didn't I make myself very clear to him? Why is he still behaving like this?" she thought to herself as

she recalled about the flowers. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She tried to call Benedict, but his phone seemed to be set up to automatically reject her calls. Then,

she called him again several times more. Just as she wanted to call Benedict again, another message

came.

It read, 'My parents are resting, stop calling! Besides, if you're calling me to scold me, then I

don't want to hear it!'

Naomi frowned and texted, 'If you know that I'll scold you, then why do you still do it? I've told you that I

only care for you as my younger brother, I...'

'Naomi George!' Benedict texted back, sounding angry.

'I know that you don't like me. However, you can't control whether I like you or not! I just want to

continue liking you. I just want to pursue you!'

Naomi was rendered speechless.

She took a deep breath.

Then, she replied, 'Actually, you're still young now. Perhaps you have this kind of feeling towards me

because you rely on me a lot. As you grow older, you might have other thoughts...'

'No, I won't! That's enough. You have to go to work tomorrow, and I have to go to school! I will strive to

graduate from university in advance before the end of this semester so that I can go work in your

company! I won't reply to your messages anymore. Good night.'

Naomi was dumbfounded.

After that, no matter what messages she sent him, he no longer replied!

Naomi felt exasperated.

However, on second thought, she realized that he had mentioned graduating early.

He was now in his sophomore year. It would be incredibly difficult for him to complete another half of

his syllabus in advance within the next month!

As for her, she had mainly practiced self-defense and only took lessons in specialized courses that

were required for the heir of the Granger family.

Originally, according to her father's plan, she was going to study abroad like Sugar Bun.

However, Sugar Bun was soft-hearted and he was worried that if both him and Naomi left home, there

would be no one else to take care of their parents at home.

Therefore, Naomi took the initiative to stay and work in the company!

According to their plan, she would go abroad for further studies when Sugar Bun came back. However,

she was reluctant to do so as that was not where her interests lay.

However, their family's tradition could not be abandoned.

As she thought about it, she felt a little more at ease.

Benedict would not be able to finish all his studies so quickly. He was just being hot-headed, thus he

would be able to think things through in the future!

In the morning, Cynthia sat in her office and looked at the documents that Naomi had brought in.

"These are the indicators that I've completed this month, and these are the ones that I'm in the middle

of negotiating. However, I've basically reached a preliminary agreement with them!"

Cynthia flipped through the pages, all of which had their details clearly written. There were quite a few

companies, all of whom were good partners.

She was a little surprised.

Naomi saw Cynthia's expression and added, "These were not due to my father's connections. I went to

look for them on my own! You can investigate me!"

Cynthia pursed her lips and said, "Alright, very well. You've won our bet. What would you like me to

do?"

Cynthia felt a little embarrassed. She had been a manager for many years and had always reckoned

that she was a good judge of character.

She did not expect that she would be wrong about Naomi.

However, this incident indicated one thing and it was that people from the Granger family should not be

underestimated! However, she had no idea if Naomi would hold a grudge against her when she took

over the company in the future...

Cynthia comforted herself. Grudge or no grudge, she had not done anything wrong.

However, when she thought of the possibility that she might lose her job, she still felt a little upset as

she did not want to become unemployed.

As Cynthia thought about it, Naomi suddenly opened her mouth with a smile.

"Madam Leon? Are you worried that I will retaliate against you?"

Cynthia was stunned for a moment upon hearing Naomi's words. When she raised her head, she saw

Naomi's sly gaze.

She saw Naomi's strong will and charisma, and suddenly she was raptured in a daze.

"Don't worry! Valiant East has always recognized talents and have never been biased. Madam Leon,

you're excellent, and I respect you very much!"

After that, Naomi smiled again.

"If you don't have any other orders, I'll take my leave now!"

Cynthia only snapped back to reality after Naomi had left the office.

Naomi was right! She had worked in Valiant East for many years, and they had always valued fairness,

never mistreating a hard- working employee.

Outside the door, after Naomi came out, her colleague immediately rushed over to her.

"How was it? Is your internship period over, Missy?"

Naomi froze for a moment before asking, "There's an internship period?"

"Of course!" Her colleague could not help but knock on Naomi's head. "You are always very smart

when you're working, but why are you being silly now? You've previously told Madam Leon that you will

secure one big project within a month. If you failed to do so, you would leave. Didn't that mean that

your internship period is a month?"

"I did it though! This means that it's over, right?"

"Normally, Madam Leon will invite the whole team to dinner and officially introduce us to the new

colleague!"

"Ah?" Naomi still was not able to gauge the meaning behind her colleague's words.

Her colleague was depressed as she asked, "Did Madam Leon say that we will have dinner together

tonight?"

Naomi shook her head and said, "No, she didn't!" "It's over! Madam Leon dislikes you, therefore she

does not plan to hire you as a permanent staff member!"

"That won't do!" Naomi's competitiveness roused again. "I'll go ask..."

Before her voice faded, the office door opened and Cynthia looked at the two of them.

"This is..."

Naomi's colleague immediately chuckled and turned to run, leaving Naomi by herself.

Cynthia smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask me! I'm not stupid. I purposely came out to

inform everyone!"

Cynthia then turned around to look at the other staff.

"Let's have dinner together tonight! We have a new colleague!"

"Yay!" the other colleagues instantly cheered. Although Naomi was Chairman Granger's daughter, she

was not pretentious at all. Instead, she got along happily with everyone in the past month.

Naturally, everyone liked her a lot!

Everyone said in unison, "Congratulations, Missy."

Naomi hurriedly shook her head and said, "Don't call me Missy. Just call me by my name, Naomi!"

"Congratulations, Naomi!"

Naomi smiled happily as it was the first time that she felt the same sense of accomplishment that she

did when she practiced self-defense.

It turned out that as long as one works hard, no matter what one does, they will be overjoyed!
