Leaning back slightly, Natalie pressed her lips together in thought before smiling and saying, "We'll have to wait a bit longer. The people Wendy arranged won't withdraw until Jennifer appears.

"Having just taken control, Jennifer is sure to introduce major reforms and will undoubtedly let go of a number of employees, even some of the company's key personnel.

"She'll replace them with her own people. By the time she realizes she's been left with an empty shell, it'll be too late. Without the resources she once had, no matter how good her current resources are, her company won't be able to go far." Natalie envisioned Jennifer being absolutely furious by then.

In this tough business climate, even if Jennifer was capable, she could at best maintain the status quo.

During this time, Natalie knew it was her perfect opportunity to act. She planned to head overseas with Murray after attending Zoe's baby's one-month celebration.

"Natalie, do you think Mr. Chambers will be interested in this project we're working on?" Luna asked, her tone laced with

concern.

Natalie smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. As long as the technology is solid, it'll work out."

Luna felt relieved. Over the past two years, Natalie had never truly been idle, always busy developing new software. "Natalie, you've really been putting in the work these past two years. If Professor Montes knew, she'd be thrilled. You turned down her invitation to join her research team back then, and I heard she was upset for quite some time," said Luna.

Natalie smiled apologetically. "I just couldn't see myself doing it. Spending every day in a lab surrounded by endless data- it's too dull for me. That kind of life doesn't suit me."

She had declined the offer partly because of Easton, but mostly because she genuinely didn't enjoy it.

Luna didn't press further. A person's energy is limited, and Natalie was already remarkable.

By noon, the snowstorm had eased a little. When they arrived at the restaurant, Natalie got out of the car and told Luna to park first.

Maurice had arrived earlier and was already waiting for her at the door.
