Chapter 839 Unspeakable Confession
Natalie continued to get better under Samuel’s tender and loving care.
That day was the day when Dream Pharmaceutical would announce the acquisition of Dexmed Pharmaceutical and set up a subsidiary brand.
After begging Samuel for a long time, he finally allowed Natalie to go to work.
She picked a white silk blouse and black slacks, matching them with a pair of high heels.
Natalie exuded a sense of subtle confidence with her simple makeup and attire. It was enough for her to stand out among the crowd.
The moment she walked into the lobby of Dream Corporation, the receptionists’ eyes lit up.
“Oh my! Our chairwoman looks so good!”
“Dream keeps on expanding, and our salaries keep rising too. All thanks to the capable leadership of our chairwoman!”
“That’s true. Everyone knows that the chairwoman of Dream is not only good in her job but also highly adept at running a business!”
“Even though I’m straight, I can’t help but feel attracted to her too!”
After taking the VIP elevator, Natalie arrived at the CEO’s office on the top floor.
Yandel had long left for Loang to prepare for the expansion of Dream and had taken Lia with him as well. For now, only Ross was left in the office.
When Ross saw Natalie, he seemed surprised.
“Ms. Nichols, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be recuperating in the hospital?”
“Don’t fret. That’s what I have been doing all this while. Now I’m feeling much better.” Natalie smiled and continued, “Today is the day when my granddad’s dying wish is about to be fulfilled. No matter what, I have to be present to witness it with my own eyes.”
The press conference had not officially started, but Natalie could already feel a burning sensation in her chest.
After so much hard work, the day had finally arrived.
As Ross looked at Natalie, he could see a glint of hope flashing across her eyes.
“Ross, today is also your first day in a new position.” Natalie glanced at his crooked tie and reminded him, “But your tie is crooked!”
Ross tried to adjust his tie, but after a few attempts, he still failed to get it right.
Natalie was at a loss for words. “Stop moving. Let me do it.”
“What?”
Natalie walked up to him and lifted her hand to adjust his tie.
During the process, Ross kept his eyes fixated on Natalie. For some reason, the sight before him tugged at his heartstrings, and he somehow found it hard to breathe.
It had only been a little over ten seconds, but it felt like an eternity to him.
“All right. It’s done.”
After fixing the tie, Natalie stepped back to her initial spot.
“Ross, you can do it!”
Looking at the smiling woman in front of her, Ross could feel the searing blood in him cooling down bit by bit.
Amidst the darkness he was in, she was like a ray of light that rescued him from all the hopelessness and despair in his life.
His feelings for her were complicated. Not only did he admire Natalie, but he was also thankful to her. However, he had no idea when he started to develop romantic feelings for her.
Faced with someone like Natalie, it would be hard not to fall for her.
However, Ross dared not confess his feelings to her.
After all, Natalie had Samuel. But even if she did not, he was well aware that Natalie would still treat him as a friend.
It was not a bad thing to be friends with her, though.
As a friend, I would be able to stay by her side and do the things she wants to do. There’s nothing wrong with that.
With that thought in mind, Ross smiled gently at Natalie and said, “I will, Ms. Nichols.”
