Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 45

got marric

Natalie had to admit that, except for the past six months, Calvin had always been a qualified husband after they go He would go home early if he had no business meetings or social events after work at night.

Even if he had a social event to attend, he would never go past eleven o’clock. So Natalie never went to sleep later than eleven o’clock.

Therefore, she was not used to staying up late all of a sudden.

Natalie sat in a big chair in the lounge and covered herself with her coat. Queenie was close to her and said. “You may have to move out from Ms. Shaw’s place.”

“Yes, I know,” Natalie replied.

Even if Queenie did not say it, Natalie knew about that.

Natalie had seriously affected Brianna’s life since she had lived in her place. That was why she had not wanted to move to Brianna three months ago.

But she hadn’t expected such a trick to make a comeback.

Suddenly, Natalie’s phone rang. Calvin called her again.

She answered the phone and heard his question, “Haven’t you gone back yet?”

“Did I say I’m going back?” she retorted.

“Do you think Brianna can protect you, or do you think you can handle it yourself? Go back right now!” said Calvin on the other side of the phone in an unpleasant tone.

Obviously, he had also known about the parcels.

Natalie closed her eyes.

She was a little tired, so she said impatiently on the phone, “I called the police three months ago, but you bailed those people out, and now they are treating me like this again. Are you still going to say it’s my fault?”

“Natalie!” he shouted.

“What are you yelling at?” Natalie was also angry.

Whenever she thought about Calvin bailing those people out, she did not want to hear another word from him.

She said inwardly. “Why is he calling? Is it because he’s worried about me? How ridiculous!”

Calvin softened a bit when he realized that Natalie was insisting. He coaxed, “Now is not the time to make a scene, okay? Be good. I’ll have fan pick you up. Get ready, okay?”

“I’m working overtime. I’m not with Brianna!”

Calvin was stunned by her words.

“Working overtime? Until now?” Calvin thought in disbelief.

On the other side of the phone, Calvin was full of cold aura.

Chapter 45

After he had hung up the phone, he called out, “Tan!”

lan could sense Calvin was holding himself back while calling his name. He came over and said, “Mr. Jeffords, the people are still working overtime.” It was a tough time for them as the draft was disapproved a moment ago,

But he heard Calvin say, “Go find out what company she works for

“Are you talking about Mrs. Jeffords? No one dares to hire her!” lan was sure about that.

They had already given the orders. If anyone dared to hire Natalie, it would be against Calvin. lan was sure that there was no such idiot in Quadfield.

The next moment. Calvin was furious. “She’s working overtime now!”

lan asked in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Ian thought in confusion. Working overtime? Did I hear it right? Perhaps there’s either something wrong with our side or Natalie’s! How could she work overtime? How could she accept it?”

At that moment, Calvin exuded a cold aura all over.

Calvin thought ironically. “Natalie is working overtime. How ridiculous! I used to say those words to her all the time, but now she says in a very formal tone on the phone that she’s working overtime!”

“I’m going to go find out who hired Mrs. Jeffords right now, lan said immediately after he realized something was wrong. This is crazy! There must be a madman in Quadfield,” Ian exclaimed inwardly.

Calvin was alone in the office after lan left. He took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and took two deep puffs. He looked more frustrated when surrounded by smoke, and his eyes were colder than usual.

Natalie waited at the gate of Stronghelm Global with the draft they had worked on for more than ten overtime hours before going to work in the morning. When the receptionist saw her, Natalie was almost frozen due to the cold weather,

Since they had seen each other the day before and Jayden had treated Natalie very politely, the receptionist hurriedly asked her to go in and make her a cup of hot milk.

“Drink some milk to warm yourself up,” the receptionist said..

“Thank you.” Natalie indeed felt very cold.

It was Queenie who drove Natalie there. But she had something important to do in the morning, so she drove the car away.

It was not a long time, but since Natalie had a thin figure, she shivered from the cold after only half an hour.

It was also because she did not know much about the climate and temperature of the four seasons when she was with Calvin. Back then, she had air conditioners when it was hot and heaters when it was cold. So she did not know how cold Quadfield was in the winter. “It seems that I will have to wear thicker clothes when I go out in the future,” she concluded in her mind.

“You don’t have to come so early. Mr. Foster usually comes to work one hour later. He’ll come at nine o’clock, but sometimes even later, the receptionist said.

Cough! Cough! Natalie was drinking milk when she heard that. She started choking and coughing.

“Are you all right?” the receptionist asked with concern as she handled the tissue to Natalic.

Tm fine, Natalie replied.

Chapter 45

In her mind, people who run the entire company are usually very busy, like Calvin. He would never go out before 8 am every day.

Therefore, Natalie, the lady of the Jeffords family who had lived a life of luxury, always got up early when she had been with him during the years because she had to have breakfast with him.

When she found out that the CEO of Stronghelm Global didn’t come to work until nine o’clock or even later, she thought that the woman who married Yohannes must live a happy life.

She felt envious and thought, “Sure enough, a good man always belongs to someone else.”

Natalie thought she had to wait more than an hour, but Yohannes arrived at the company at 8:30 am. When the receptionist saw Yohannes, she stood up quickly and greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Foster,”

“Ms. Walcott, why are you here?” Jayden, who followed behind Yohannes, saw Natalie and greeted her warmly.

Natalie stood up and took a deep breath.

At that moment, Yohannes looked in her direction. His expression was serious and cold..

Natalie quickly swallowed the words she was about to say.

“In fact, a woman who stays with such a man may not be happy. He’s.. too serious! He’s so serious that people can’t imagine what he looks like when he smiles. Besides, it’s even doubtful how cold he will be in bed with a woman! Wait, what am I thinking?” She blushed at the thought

“Ms. Walcott. Ms. Walcott.”

“Huh?” Natalie immediately came to her senses and saw the receptionist looking at her worriedly.

The receptionist thought, ‘Mr. Foster is indeed à favorite of all the women. Not only does he attract the attention of people from the whole company, but now even the women outside are attracted to him.”

“Mr. Wright is asking you.” The receptionist reminded Natalie again.

“Well, we have completed a first draft after working late last night. I would like Mr. Foster to review it so we can better understand your company’s needs”

Natalie quickly finished her words.

She had been worried the whole night but ended up saying it unsmoothly because of Yohannes’s expression.

Jayden glanced at Yohannes, who had already entered the elevator, then he nodded to Natalie and said, ‘Come up with me

first

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Jayden replied. Then he went upstairs with Natalie.

Instead of taking her directly to Yohannes’s office, he took her to the lounge first. “Please wait a moment. Let me confirm with Mr. Foster.

Okay

Natalie also felt impulsive for her sudden visit. She just hoped Yohannes could meet her and give her more insightful information.
