Chapter 78
Scarlett could finally tell that something was off with Natalia’s mood the moment she heard her voice on the phone.
“What’s up, girl? Something wrong? Did that jerk Hamilton mess with you again?” she asked.
Natalia’s nose was feeling sour. She really wanted to open up to Scarlett, but the crappy relationship was such a shame to voice.
In the end, she managed only a weak remark, “No biggie; just a bit of a cold.”
Scarlett clicked her tongue sympathetically, “The weather’s turning chilly, babe. Layer up, will ya? You’re not back to full strength yet, and you gotta take care of yourself.”
“Okay.”
They chatted more before hanging up.
The doorbell rang again. Upon opening the door, Natalia found the executive secretary, Linda, standing there with a shopping bag and a box in hand.
“Mr. Fowler asked me to bring you these clothes and jewelry, said you’ll be starting work
tomorrow.”
Natalia glanced at them, took the items with a half–hearted thanks, and set them aside, “Appreciate you coming by.”
Linda hesitated, clearly having more to say.
“What is it? Something else on your mind?” Natalia inquired.
After a moment’s pause, Linda spoke up, “Ms. Jenkins, the person currently in your position isn’t the easiest to get along with. Just…be careful when you return.”
Natalia paused, then offered a thin smile, “Thanks for the heads–up.”

With a nod, Linda left.
Natalia closed the door; her gaze fell upon the clothes and jewelry. Perhaps this was just another one of a man’s tricks to woo a woman.
If it hadn’t been for tonight’s events, she might have been charmed. But now, she didn’t even want to spare those clothes a glance.
She tossed them onto the couch and poured herself a glass of wine
downing it in one gulp.
The bottle was empty in no time. As Natalia reached for a second bottle, the bedroom door swung open. She turned to see who it was, and a wry smile played on her lips.
“Back already?” she quipped.
Hamilton stepped inside and immediately noticed the woman by the bar, whose cheeks were flushed pink from drinking. An empty bottle stood witness to her indulgence.
