After Monique left, Nelson called Richard to the office again.
"When did she arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"
Richard shook his head and explained, "I only just found out too! However, when she was talking to you inside, I investigated her past whereabouts. It turns out that she came to Rosaville City on the second day of your injury, and she has been hiding herself well..."
Nelson tapped his fingers on the table, "That means she might have full knowledge of what I've been doing these past few days?"
There was a lingering fear on Richard's face as he said, "It's quite possible!"
Naomi's face was the first thing that came to Richard's mind and he quickly added, "As for Miss George..."
Nelson had already stood up. As soon as he stepped out, he retreated again.
As soon as he stepped out, he retreated again, "It's fine. She'll be alright!"
He could not go at this moment. Although he kept telling himself that he was just acting as Naomi's boyfriend, he had no idea why whenever he thought of the fact that Monique had found out about them, he would grow worried.
Richard also came to his senses and said, "Miss Monique wants us to complete the task. As long as we complete the task, she has no reason to blame us. That's right, it'll be fine!"
Nelson sat there, staring blankly ahead for a long time
Then, he spoke again, "Call them all for a meeting!"
At the same time, Naomi was busy in the office. She had not been to the company for several days, and there were many things for her to deal with.
At noon, all her colleagues went out for lunch.
One of her colleagues beckoned her, "Let's go! I know a new restaurant nearby and the food is quite good. Let's have a try!"
Not even raising her head, Naomi rejected kindly, "It's fine, I won't be going. Just bring me something to eat when you come back!"
Her colleague said helplessly, "Missy, why are you working so hard? Even if you risk your life, you'll never be able to finish all your work. Why do you want to work overtime in the afternoon?"
Naomi decisively shook her head and said, "It's fine."
What if Nelson asked her out for lunch?
Her colleague saw the smile on her face, and covered her mouth with a sour expression.
"Oh no! Your smiling face blinds me! It's fine, I'll bring you something you'll like!"
"Thank you!"
After Naomi's colleague left, she calmed down and came up with a plan.
After she finished her plan, she took a short break because she was a little thirsty. So, she got up and went to pour a glass of water.
When she came back with a glass of water, she saw a lunch box on her desk.
Naomi subconsciously turned and looked around. There was no one else!
She thought to herself, "Did that girl come back and go out again?"
Anyhow, she was hungry, therefore she walked over without hesitation and opened the lunch box.
The next second, her hand shook and the lunch box in her hand fell to the ground.
There was a dead rat in the lunch box, but it was quite small. If she was an ordinary girl, she would have been scared to tears.
However, Naomi did not cry but was just extremely shocked.
She was not afraid of rats. It was just that she had not expected such a thing at all!
