Chapter 862 Strong And Beautiful
That night, Natalie licked her wounds in the study in her semi-conscious state and soon fell into a deep sleep after all the crying.
It was past nine in the morning when she woke up. The kids had breakfast and were already in school.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror and was glad that she didn’t run into the kids that morning.
Natalie didn’t know what to say to her kids yet for her red and puffy eyes in case they asked.
She put on some eye makeup to cover her red and puffy eyes to improve her complexion.
Natalie headed toward Dream Corporation’s CEO office after she left the Bowers residence. She had a face-to-face meeting with Ross in the office and a video conference with Lia and Yandel, who were in Loang.
Yandel reported everything he had done in Loang in great detail to Natalie.
“Boss, we’re done renovating the office building. It has passed the formaldehyde test. When are you coming over?” Yandel couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement as he spoke.
Natalie held on to her mug of coffee and stared into the camera. However, she had lost focus.
“Ms. Nichols,” Ross called out as he noticed her mind had wandered off.
“Yes?”
Natalie collected her thoughts at that. However, she didn’t hear Yandel’s question just now.
“Yandel, can you please repeat your question?”
“I’m asking when you are coming over to Loang?” Yandel teased, “I know what’s going through your mind, Boss. You must be thinking that you wouldn’t be able to see Samuel every day if you head over to Loang. That’s why you’re so out of it, right?”
Natalie didn’t want to lie to her friend.
“We broke up. He wants to marry his betrothed instead,” she replied. “I can head over at a moment’s notice if everything has been prepared.”
Ross, Yandel, and Lia were taken aback upon her words.
“What?”
“What!”
“What!”
Natalie took a sip of her coffee. “It’s weird, right? I don’t get it either. But I will respect his decision.”
The three of them found it hard to recover from the shock of her latest update.
Natalie spoke up as she saw the look of sorrow in their eyes. “I consider all of you friends I care about besides being my employees. I decided to tell you about my love life because I don’t want things to be awkward. Of course, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m upset, but I will keep my emotions in check and heal soon. I still have a lot of work and personal things to take care of…”
“Samuel must be blind! You are so strong and beautiful. I’m sure you’ll find someone much better than him,” Yandel cursed.
Lia nodded and echoed, “Mr. Moss is right. I noticed there are plenty of good-looking men over here in Loang. Samuel is nothing compared to them.”
Ross burned with rage. However, he managed to keep his temper in check. “We will do everything in our power to help you out if you ever need anything from us.”
Natalie laughed as she felt the love and support coming from her assistant and employees. “Okay, thank you all. I’ll get ready and will head over to Loang in a week.”
She turned off the camera after the meeting ended.
“Ross, have you heard of Xander York?” Natalie rearranged the documents on the table as she asked.
Ross gave it some thought before he replied, “I’ve heard of the Yorks, but the only family members I’ve heard of are Riley and Carlo. I don’t think I’ve heard of Xander.”
“No?”
Natalie recalled the silver-masked man.
Even though she had too much to drink yesterday night, every aspect of the man reminded her of Samuel, except for his silver mask and hoarse voice.
