Sherman laughed dryly. She felt embarrassed. But she didn't have to care. "Let's go for lunch. The restaurant across the street is quite good."
"Okay."
Natalie walked out of the company. She could imagine that Kingsley must have heard part of what she said just now.
Although she did feel embarrassed in front of him and felt uncomfortable, she also got the news that
Sherman gave Billy up.
Suddenly, Natalie wanted to retch. She hurriedly found a nearby trash can, but she didn't vomit anything, just retching.
Natalie remembered that she didn’t have time to eat breakfast this morning and that her period had not yet come. 'It could not be...' 1
She felt she should go to the hospital for a checkup.
In the Italian restaurant, Sherman ordered two plates o f spaghetti and two glasses of red wine.
After calling Kingsley last night, she called him again this morning and invited him to lunch. What she didn't expect was that he came so coincidentally.
The lunch was only brought up when the manager called her again and said, "You are responsible to follow up on the contract you signed yesterday."
She was willing to earn Billy's money yesterday, but now she didn't even want to earn a penny of Billy's money. Because Billy made her sick.
She immediately rejected the manager because she was not willing to be in charge of that project.
Kingsley sipped the red wine lightly and looked at her. He heard clearly the content of the phone call.
The manager refused to agree, and Sherman had a rare tantrum. With a snap, she hung up the phone.
The manager had been using her from the earlier project to the contract she signed yesterday. She could be used, and she did get the benefit as well.
But that didn't mean she could be used as if she didn't have a bottom line.
She usually looked gentle, but when her temper came up, no one could stop her.
And then, the manager called Sherman again. She heard it clearly but deliberately did not answer the phone.
