My Second Husband novel Chapter 1178

Loraine was rendered speechless. Culver was obviously referring to Naomi, but he refused to admit it!

"Then, what would you like for dinner? I'll ask someone to cook for you!"

"I don't want to eat anymore!"

Culver felt depressed. If he could not eat the food that he wanted, nothing would taste good in his mouth.

Loraine sighed. Who said that the rich and powerful had no worries? In her opinion, even they had many problems they could not solve.

The girl whom Naomi had met at the restaurant was called Sharon Castle.

She kept her promise and came to work the next day.

There was not much time left, therefore Naomi did not waste much time talking to her. She immediately instructed Sharon to participate in the competition while they were in a meeting.

Hearing her orders, the other designers were a little shocked.

"She looks like she doesn't have any experience, though."

"Isn't today her first day at work? Will this work?"

"It's already quite difficult for our team. If we add a newbie like her, will she hold us back?"

Everyone was in a heated discussion. Truth be told, they were reluctant to welcome Sharon into their team.

Sharon was timid, and she felt quite uneasy upon seeing their reactions.

After a long pause, she said in a low voice.

"Why don't I run errands for you!"

Naomi reached out and patted her on the shoulder, shook her head, and said loudly.

"I know that everyone isn't really against her joining, but because this is a serious matter for our company, you all are worried that something will go wrong."

Naomi did not blame everyone directly for being out of line. On the contrary, she validated everyone's sense of responsibility. As a result, everyone finally became a little calmer.

"But..."

She paused for a while.

Then, she continued, "Who here didn't start out as a newbie? Give her a chance. During this period, don't stop coming up with new designs too. As long as you meet the requirements, I will treat everyone equally!"

Since the boss had said so herself, the designers could not say anything even if they had a problem with it.

"Lindsay, what do you think?"

Lindsay was one of the more talented designers in Naomi's company, and she was a rather reliable person.

After being called by Naomi, she got up and took the lead in giving an applause.

"Sharon, welcome to the team!"

After Lindsay stood up, the others could only follow suit and welcomed Sharon.

Sharon smiled at Naomi in gratitude as Naomi winked at her in return.

"Alright, let's discuss the design concept!"

They busied themselves till midnight.

Emma had something to do in the afternoon, therefore she got off work earlier. Naomi stretched and tidied up her documents before heading out of the office with her bag.

She took the elevator down. As soon as the doors of the elevators opened, she sensed someone passing by in a hurry.

Being someone who was trained in self defense, she immediately became alert, increasing her vigilance. She looked calm and collected, but she was ready to throw her fists anytime.

The hall was empty as her heels clicked on the floor as she walked.

At the same time, she could faintly hear footsteps coming from behind.

One step, two steps, three steps!

Naomi silently counted the footsteps. They were close.

She turned sideways, grabbed the shoulder of the person behind her, and lifted them forward. She raised her hand, and the person was thrown over her back.

The loud noise alerted the security guard on the other side and they rushed in.

"What happened?"

"It's all right, it's just a thief. Send him to the police station!"

"Naomi!"

The thief suddenly opened his mouth. His voice sounded so familiar that Naomi paused in her tracks. She turned around in shock and saw

Nelson getting up from the ground.

"It's me!"

The security guard was stunned, "Miss George, he's..."
