Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 151

Natalia hesitated in her stride, thinking she might have misheard.

Linda repeated the message on the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Jenkins, there's a snag with the project you're overseeing. You'll need to take a business trip."

Natalia remained silent for a moment before asking, "Do I have to go myself?"

"The client specifically requested negotiations with the project head."

After a brief pause, Natalia agreed.

After all, she hadn't formally resigned from Ivy Gemstone.

"I'll need my assistant to accompany me."

There was a moment of silence from Linda before she replied, "Alright, Ms. Jenkins, I'll inform your assistant to meet you at the airport tomorrow."

The next day, Natalia was up early, packing her things for the airport.

Once there, she received a call from Ronin.

"Ms. Jenkins, it's the weekend-you must have some time now, right?"

Natalia offered a tight-lipped smile. "Sorry, Mr. Joyner, I'm at the airport heading out on a business matter."

Ronin was clearly taken aback.

"Business on the weekend?"

Natalia didn't elaborate; after all, it was an internal affair at Ivy Gemstone.

Ronin sounded slightly irked. "I suspect Hamilton did this on purpose."

Natalia chuckled softly, "Mr. Joyner, I still haven't left Ivy Gemstone, remember?"
