The next morning, after Naomi got up, she took the initiative to contact Culver's assistant, Aaron.
Aaron spoke as usual, with no emotion at all.
Naomi was already used to his behavior, therefore she was not bothered about it.
She got straight to the point and said, "Give me your account number. I will transfer the money right away."
Emma ran in from outside just as Aaron was about to speak.
"Something bad has happened!"
Naomi quickly covered the microphone and said, "Could you please send the account number to my mobile phone? I'll transfer the money to the account number."
After that, she instantly hung up on the call.
"What's wrong?"
Emma sweated profusely and said, "I just received a phone call from the landlord saying that her family had an emergency and she wants us to pay for a year's rent immediately, or we'll have to move out immediately!" "What?" Naomi frowned as she asked in disbelief,
"How could this be?"
Emma pursed her lips and said, "I've already argued with her, but she was very determined. She said that if we don't pay her, she will throw our things out!"
"Let me go and have a look!"
When they arrived at the company, as expected, the landlord was already at the door with someone.
Naomi looked at them and felt a little angry.
However, she was there to ask for their help, therefore she had to restrain herself.
"Sir, we aren't people who won't pay rent. Didn't we agree before that when we're done with this project, we'll pay the rent at once? We can only pay for this month's rent at the moment!"
"That was before, but now our family needs the money!" the landlord said.
However, the landlord's wife was kinder.
"We're not doing this on purpose. It's true that something has happened to our family. Our family member is seriously ill and needs to go abroad for treatment. We have no other choice but to do this."
Naomi was really angry at first.
However, after she heard what the landlord's wife said, her anger instantly dissipated!
Everyone was having a hard time, so she could not be too stubborn about the matter.
However, if their money was to be used to pay for a year's rent, then what about the repair fee for the car?
"Naomi, what should we do?" Emma asked.
Naomi looked at the landlord and then looked at Emma.
"Forget it, we'll pay the rent first!"
One reason was that they needed this office now. The other reason was that when she saw the landlord's family in urgent need of money, she felt that as a person with a conscience, she should lend a helping hand!
Moments later, the landlord and his wife left with the money.
Naomi leaned against the office table and slowly closed her eyes.
The sound of footsteps came, and Emma entered from the outside.
"Why don't you ask your parents for help? Just say that we will borrow their money! In the future, we'll..." "No!" Naomi refused immediately.
"When I promised to start my own business, I didn't even think about asking them for any help. Furthermore, I'm not at home. If they know that I'm not doing well here, my mom will worry about me again!"
"Culver is not someone to be messed with either..."
"I know!"
She thought about it and hoped that there might be some other way to save their situation.
However, reality proved that she was too naive. Soon afterwards, her mobile phone rang again. It was Culver's secretary's voice, which sounded vaguely automatic.
"Miss George, I have sent the account number to you two hours ago, but we have not seen the money in the account yet."
Naomi frowned.
