Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 71

Five nunutes later, as Sherri was heading towards the entrance, she coincidentally bumped into Kyle,

who was about to enter the room

“Miss Landor, Kyle greeted politely

Sherri was well-acquainted with Kyle, Edward’s assistant. He was frequently seen at various events,

and Edward often brought him home In recent years, Kyle had also been accompanying Edward on This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

overseas trips.

“Kyle, long time no see. You’ve grown taller, Sherri welcomed.

Kyle responded with a serious tone, “Miss Landor, I have already undergone puberty, so there won’t be

any further growth”

“Ah, is that so? I thought men would have a second growth spurt like women. But I forgot that men

can’t experience the miracle of childbirth Sherri laughed.

Kyle remained silent, unable to come up with a response to Sherri’s remark.

Sherri entered the room, her laughter still lingering, and pushed open the door. “Edward, I’ve ordered a

lot of food for you to enjoy. Huh! Why are you sitting next to Natalie now?” she exclaimed.

Edward gestured to Kyle and said, “Kyle, have a seat.”

As Kyle approached his seat, he glanced at the pizza, his gaze filled with mixed emotions. He thought,

“Is Mr. Landor postponing the meeting to join these ladies and indulge in their leftovers? He seems to

be thoroughly enjoying himself!”

Noticing Kyle’s fixed gaze on the pizza, Natalie became aware of his discomfort. Without uttering a

word, she swiftly stood up and exited the room.

Edward stopped eating and quickly grasped the situation, and a subtle smile formed on his lips, hinting

at his understanding.

Observing his boss’s redirected gaze toward the doorway, Kyle seemed to have comprehended the

situation and gleaned some understanding from it.

Shortly after, Natalie entered the room accompanied by two servers. One of the servers carried a

steaming fresh pot base while the other swiftly replaced the old one on the table

Edward observed the situation but did not intervene, understanding Natalie’s intention,

The door remained open as two servers needed to move in and out to replace the pot of soup base.

Sherri and Kyle instinctively moved to the corner, creating more space for their movement.

However, unbeknownst to them, Mia and her close friend happened to be passing by and caught a

glimpse of the scene through the partially open door. In that brief moment, they managed to capture a

photo.

With a mischievous grin, Mia could not resist the temptation. She swiftly edited the photo, adding

provocative captions that insinuated a scandalous relationship before sending the manipulated image

to the same group of journalists as before. Afterward, she casually returned her phone to her bag,

satisfied with her devious act.

Curiosity piqued, Mia’s friend could not help but ask, “Who is that woman? Why is she dining with Mr.

Landor? Do you think she’s his girlfriend?”

Mia calmly replied, “I’m not sure. Maybe she is. I sent a photo to check”

Of course, Mia had sent the photo to Trevon. It was known within industry circles that Trevon and Mia

had a history together.

However, due to the influence of the Wilson family, people were hesitant to discuss it openly.

Nonetheless, some believed Mia was the central figure in this situation and were eager to gain her

favor.

Mia’s friend smiled warmly and affectionately held her hand, expressing admiration, “Mia, your

relationship with Mr. Wilson is remarkable. Unlike us, who can only dream of meeting him in person, I

envy your bond. You both are incredibly talented and make a beautiful couple.”

Mia blushed, her cheeks turning a shade of pink, and she gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Oh, it’s not like that. He’s incredibly busy with work, but he treats me well. If you’re interested in

meeting him, I can certainly ask him about his availability and introduce you.”

The two girls’ faces lit up with excitement and gratitude, and Mia’s friend expressed, “Oh, Mia, you’re

so kind! If manages to collaborate with the Wilson Group in the future, I will always remember and

appreciate your help.

my family

Then, the group entered the private room with excitement and anticipation.

Mia received a message on her phone from the reporter. It said, “Miss Mia, I can’t take on this

assignment. After that trending topic incident last time, my boss scolded me, and I got my salary

deducted for a month. I can’t cover entertainment news anymore. I’m stuck doing odd jobs in the office.

Please find someone else for this.”

Upon reading the message, Mia could not help but feel a deep disdain towards the reporter,

considering their inability to

handle the assignment utterly useless.

Without wasting a moment, Mia swiftly forwarded the photo directly to Trevon.

She did not believe that someone as prominent as Trevon would allow himself to be overshadowed by

such a cheating scandal

After sending the message, she felt a sense of relief coursing through her body.

Unaware of being photographed, Natalie conversed pleasantly with Edward, discussing her plans to

study abroad. Edward attentively advised her on various matters to consider when going abroad.

Sherri could not help but interject, ‘Edward, you’re quite the chatterbox. Natalie might be feeling

overwhelmed with all your advice She still has over a month before she goes abroad”

Natalie quickly clarified, “No, Edward, I appreciate your advice, and I’m taking it all in. I’ll contact you if I

have any further questions or concerns.”

Without diverting his attention from Natalie, Edward continued, “Hmmm, the training center for your

study abroad program is actually located in Sapphire City, which is in Azureland. It’s a country

renowned for its advanced medical facilities. You’ll undoubtedly benefit greatly from studying there.”

Sitting across from them. Kyle finally grasped the situation. He pondered to himself, “So, the reason Mr.

Landor had me conduct an extensive investigation on potential talent a few days ago was for Miss

Foster. He emphasized the need for thoroughness as if he wanted to know every detail about her

training and background”

He had pulled two consecutive all-nighters, tirelessly digging for every bit of information on the owner of

the training school. However, despite his efforts, he could only gather surface-level details and nothing

more substantial.

Laughter and joy resonated throughout the private room, with Sherri’s infections laughter ringing the

loudest.

Two hours later, Edward rose from his seat and assisted Natalie in putting on her coat. “Make sure to

layer up before stepping outside The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors can be

luge, he advised.

“Thank you,” Natalie replied

Sherri could not help but blurt out. “Edward, you’re such a thoughtful person. It would be great if you

and Natalie were together”

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense as everyone felt the weight of unspoken

truths hanging in the air Some things are better left unsaid, even though everyone silently

acknowledged them.

It was undeniable that in ordinary circumstances, such comments might not have caused much

concern. However, with an outsider present, there was a potential risk of things becoming awkward and

uncomfortable for everyone involved. Natalie, sensing the awkward atmosphere, playfully scolded her

friend in an attempt to lighten the mood. “What are you thinking Edward is like a brother to me You’re

jeopardizing your position as my best friend, you know!”

Sherri playfully retorted. Hmph, if you dare, you should ask my mom to be your godmother!”

Sherri’s mother is not someone that just anyone can handle. It takes a certain level of skill to deal with

her. One must have a thick skin and a stable mindset, otherwise, one would be constantly

overwhelmed.

Natalie found Mrs Landor to be friendly and welcoming, although her persistent nagging can be

overwhelming “Auntie is quite nice, but I don’t necessarily have to address her as godmother,” Natalie

retorted.

Upon hearing this, Sherri laughed. “Haha, you see, you’re afraid to do it.”

“Sherri. that’s enough,” Edward sternly warned.

Afraid of getting into trouble, Sherri quickly pulled Natalie and rushed out of the private room. “Edward,

I’ll take Natalie home. Goodbye!”

Then, they swiftly disappeared from sight.

Edward’s eyes, dark and intense, remained fixed on the receding figures of the two individuals. He

remained silent, motionless, lost in his thoughts for a moment.

“Do you like her? Kyle asked bluntly.

Edward did not hide his emotions and replied, “She is still young. Let’s not scare her or bring it up in

front of her.”

Kyle reminded him, “Don’t let the opportunity slip away.”

“I won’t”

Sherri, who had made a quick getaway, sat in the driver’s seat, still trembling with fear. She placed her

hand on her chest and murmured. “That was too close. The look on my brother’s face. I thought he was

about to unleash his wrath upon me.”

“You need to learn to control your words. Making jokes about everything, how can you expert Edward

not to be angry? Besides, there were other people around as well,’ Natalie scolded

Sherri let out a long breath, relieved that she had narrowly escaped. “I think my brother probably has a

girlfriend abroad. Is it necessary for him to get so angry over a simple joke? I’ll ask about his future

sister-in-law when he’s in a better mood. another day,” she mused.

After speaking, Sherri turned to Natalie and asked, “Where to? Are we going back to Adare Manor?”

Natalie stretched her arms as she let out a big yawn. The rain had finally subsided, leaving behind a

gloomy atmosphere. It seemed that rainy weather naturally had a way of affecting people’s moods.

A few seconds later, she turned to Sherri and said, ‘I’m considering moving out.”

Sherri sighed again for her best friend and expressed her concern, saying, “It’s good that you want to

move out. So, where are you planning to move? Are you thinking of moving to the Foster’s residence,

or are you considering renting a place?”

After considering it, Natalie furrowed her brows slightly and explained, “I’m planning to rent a small

apartment near the hospital for the remaining month. I don’t have enough cash to buy a house, and

besides. I’ll be going abroad after the New Year. Owning a house would not be wise.”

Sherri understood that Natalie had not wholly recovered from the loss of her grandfather, Mr. Foster.

Otherwise, she would not avoid returning to the family estate and instead choose to rent a place. She

had not touched a penny of the inheritance left by Mr. Foster, not even after Trevon’s request for

compensation, which had been the only time she considered using the

money.

At this moment, Natalie preferred to rent a place rather than use the money given to her by Mr. Foster

to buy a house.

It seems that Natalie wants to preserve the memory of Mr. Foster by avoiding using the money he left

for her, as it may make her feel as though he has indeed departed.

Sherri’s mind sparked with an idea, and she suddenly suggested, “How about staying at Edward’s

house for a month? He’s definitely not going to move out anytime soon, and my mother would never

allow it.”

Sherri’s mother. Juana, had always been doting on her brother, Edward. It seemed that Edward was

becoming increasingly dependent on her, and Sherri couldn’t help but suspect that Juana would even

go to the bathroom on behalf of Edward if it were possible.

Natalie politely declined Sherri’s suggestion and proposed, “No, let’s check out some rental properties

tomorrow after work. I will check out some online postings tonight.”

Memories of the incident where Trevon confronted her on the balcony resurfaced in Natalie’s mind. She

vividly recalled his warning and realized the potential risks of using her grandfather’s influence. Given

Trevon’s unpredictable nature, she did not want to jeopardize Edward’s position or put him in any

compromising situations. Natalie decided it would be best to handle things independently without

relying on her family’s connections.

“Alright.” Sherri reluctantly agreed.
