Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 103

Linda watched in shock as Natalla doused Eveleen with coffee. She approached Natalia with a look of disbelief. “Ms. Jenkins, why couldn’t you have just let it slide?”

Her meaning was clear: sometimes, it’s better to pick your battles. Eveleen wasn’t a daily fixture around here, after all.

Recently, whenever Eveleen was in a foul mood, she made it everyone’s problem. The whole secretarial team had been biting their tongues. But today, Natalia had reached her limit.

This coffee incident was sure to fan the flames of Eveleen’s temper.

Natalia gave a wry smile. “Do you think if I hadn’t thrown the coffee, there wouldn’t be consequences? I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t. Might as well get some satisfaction out of

it.”

“But…”

Natalia chuckled. “It’s fine.”

Truth be told, she was beyond caring. Whether Hamilton got mad or exploded in a rage, it made no difference to her. It wasn’t the first time, anyway.

Eveleen, drenched and humiliated, bypassed knocking and barged straight into the boardroom, interrupting an ongoing product briefing.

Hamilton’s eyebrows arched slightly as she entered but quickly knitted into a frown upon seeing her stained outfit.

“What happened?” he asked.

Eveleen bit her lip, silent, the picture of pitiable innocence that could melt hearts.

Hamilton’s face set like frost. He had an inkling as to the culprit. In the whole company, Natalia probably was the only one who would dare to confront Eveleen like this.

He glanced at the employee mid–presentation and curtly dismissed the meeting.

“Let’s adjourn for now.”

As the words left his mouth, the staff hurriedly packed up, eager to escape the tension in the

room.

When they were gone, Hamilton asked with a steely voice, “Did Natalia do this?”

Eveleen remained silent.

Hamilton’s face darkened. “What’s this about? Another spat? Did you provoke her again?”
