Chapter 124 Salvaging Something

This development surprised Natalie.

Cedric had been unpredictable all day. First, he hadn’t made a scene in the basement earlier, and now he didn’t make a fuss seeing her with her uncle.

Had he undergone a transformation?!

“Why are you here?” Natalie approached and said as calmly as possible.

Fortunately, the staff here displayed impeccable professionalism. The receptionist didn’t spare a glance in their direction, and the area was devoid of any curious eyes.

She had to admit that Stephen’s approach to personnel management was worth learning. In such a large enterprise, from top to bottom, the management was strict and without a single loophole.

Cedric towered above Natalie, and he looked down at her. He tried to reign in his temper, succeeding after a few minutes.

He turned around and said, “Follow me.”

His calm demeanor left Natalie perplexed.

Was it because of the incident at the hospital entrance? Was he now concerned about his public image?

But when did he become afraid?

Cedric was such a shameless man, and no one in Verde City would dare openly criticize him…

So what was there for him to fear?

When they reached the parking lot, Cedric opened the car door and stood silently by it. There was no

previous hysteria, but his current demeanor made Natalie even more nervous.

Straightening up, she said, “If there’s something, let’s discuss it here. I drove myself here.”

“Natalie!”

It was just one word, but Natalie was able to discern the suppressed emotions in his tone. As he looked

at her, the crimson hue in his eyes revealed the emotions even more under the broad daylight.

Natalie couldn’t help but swallow nervously. Though she had encountered this side of Cedric before, she

felt like an impending storm was about to erupt.

Eventually, Natalie glanced around and got into the car.
