One Night Stand With That Beggar

Naomi was in her office with Emma and Nelson.

Nelson began to analyze the situation.

“There’s a problem with the design manager of your company. All the news originated from her. We must find her in order to understand what’s going on.”

Emma sighed and said, “We’ve sent people to look for her, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air after the disclosure.”

All of them were as silent as the dead for a while.

Later, it was Naomi who broke the silence. “Can’t we still rectify the situation?”

Naomi’s tone was full of dejection.

She was worn out.

She was under a lot of stress recently.

Nelson shook his head, replying, “There might be a hundred remedies for it. It’s just that you have to choose wisely.”

“Tell me about it.”

He took out some materials and spread them out on the table, “I’ve come up with some records and analyses, and I’ve anticipated what might happen next.”

“In your opinion, what takes precedence here? Saving your company?” asked Nelson. Then, he pointed at a certain part in one of the papers while saying, “If that’s the case, then I’ll start from this point. This is the plan I’ve come up with. Take a look!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Naomi didn’t look at it.

Instead, she asked, “If our company survives, what will happen to the Olsen Group?”

Nelson paused for a moment, “Are you worried about Culver?”

Naomi pursed her lips and answered, “After all, this problem started from our side.”

Nelson asked, “You’ve fallen in love with him, haven’t you?”

His question made her frown, “That has nothing to do with you, no?”

“I’m sorry that our past has caused you to be overcautious in relationships. However, I don’t want you to lose the ability to love and be loved. Don’t overthink this, you should express your feelings if you’re into him.”

“That’s none of your concern!”

Naomi gnashed her teeth, “Say anything more, and you’ll be driven out!”

“Alright, I won’t talk about it anymore! If you choose to save your company, then the reputation of the Olsen Group will definitely be greatly sullied. In this era, news is not to be limited by any boundaries. Everyone will know about their scandal soon, and it’ll stay with them forever. Well, give a dog a bad name and hang him, right?”

Naomi understood what Nelson was trying to say.

She had encountered something like that before.

“Then, I shall help the Olsen Group.”

At last, she went with that choice.

“It’s just as I expected. You’re still the same person that I know.”

Nelson looked at her with a smile. She found his words somewhat embarrassing. In response to that, she turned her head away and said, “I’m just trying to make amends for the problem our company has caused.”

Nelson did not refute her request.

He pointed at another sheet of paper. He said, “Then, take a look at this plan. If we want to help the Olsen Group, our top priority is to find Lindsay.” After that, he turned to Emma and passed a name card to her, saying, “Emma, please contact this person. She will help you to search for Lindsay.”

“Okay!”

“Also, find someone to keep an eye on Marilyn. I have an uncanny feeling that the person who pulled the strings behind the scenes is likely after you and Culver! I think he knows that you are Culver’s weak point, that’s why he tried to drive a wedge between the two of you.”

“Are you suspecting that it’s Marilyn who did it?”

“Of course not! Although she objects to you being together with Culver, she won’t risk the company’s reputation. What I mean is that the person behind all this might put the blame on you. He can’t hide in the dark forever, and he will come to light sooner or later if he keeps making moves. We might be able to find out who he is soon.”

Emma couldn’t help but praise him, “True enough! You’re good at this!”

Naomi asked, “Then, what should we do next?”

“Just get the money ready. Then, wait and see how Culver saves himself. We should only lend him a hand when he needs it.”

Hearing his words, Naomi went to the Finance Department to check on the company’s accounts.

Emma came back in the afternoon. She said, “I’ve found out who did this to us. It’s Evan! He has been holding a grudge against Naomi since their quarrel last time. Although he is imprisoned now, he is still trying to scheme against the Olsen Group and us.”

At the end of the day, things had happened all because of Naomi.

Naomi blinked her eyes and looked at Nelson, “I’ve prepared the money. What should we do next?”

“Go and buy a cup of coffee for me!”

Naomi turned around subconsciously to do just that. In the next second, she realized there was something amiss.

Thus, she turned back and glowered at him.

Nelson quirked his eyebrow, “You’ve asked me many times, but now, Culver really doesn’t need our help. He can settle things himself.”

Naomi was so worried that she was disoriented.

She went to buy the coffee from a place not far from the company in a daze.

She purchased a cup of black coffee, a cup of cappuccino and a cup of Jamaican coffee.

She came back and passed the black coffee to Nelson.

“Here you are!”

He lowered his head to look at it. He was touched that she still remembered his coffee preferences.

With that being said, time had passed and things were not the same.

“Thank you, but I have gotten out of the habit of drinking black coffee.”

Emma took over the black coffee and passed him her coffee, saying, “Let’s switch!”

Naomi glanced at them without saying anything.

The stock market closed in the evening.

After everyone had gotten off work, Culver sat alone in the messy office.

He gazed at the wall, which was full of papers, but his mind was filled with Naomi’s indifferent look.

Aaron came in and asked, “Sir, how should we deal with Miss George’s company?”

Culver clenched his fist and said, “You don’t have to ask me any questions. Just do what you need to do!”

“Yes, sir!”

Aaron regretted asking so. He thought to himself, “I should have remembered that Mr. Olsen has always shown no mercy to those who pose a threat to the Olsen Group!”

It was a sleepless night.

When Naomi woke up the next day, she saw Emma’s sombre face.

“What’s wrong?” asked Naomi. Emma forced a smile in discouragement.

“The Olsen Group seems to have taken their revenge on us. This morning, our clients called and said that they want to cancel the collaboration. Additionally, our other ongoing projects also fell through.”

Naomi foresaw the vengeance but it came faster than she expected.

She comforted Emma, “It’s okay, it’ll get better.”

Her phone rang. Sharon and the other colleagues of the company called Naomi one after another.

“Miss George, is it true that our previous projects are all in vain?”

Naomi nodded hopelessly while telling Sharon, “Yes, but you can rest assured that I will still pay you the remuneration we’ve agreed on. Others can come to the company to retrieve their salary and severance pay.”

“Miss George!”

Sharon asked, “This is it? What about our goals?”

Naomi was also despondent as she replied, “I’m sorry! Don’t worry, maybe we will make a comeback after a while.”

At such a moment, all her comforting words did nothing to dispel their dejection.

Most of them cried before they hung up on the call. Naomi stood on the balcony, rubbing her hair in frustration.

Nelson slowly walked over and stood behind her.

“If you can’t let him go, then don’t force yourself to do so!”
