Chapter 122 From love to hate?

The CEO’s exclusive elevator reached the top floor in a short while. As the luxurious elevator door opened,

Niki stepped out first.

Joey followed closely behind.

A low pressure permeated on the top floor.

Walking all the way, she didn’t see anyone.

She felt strange and couldn’t help but say, “Why isn’t there anyone? Where have people gone? Aren’t they

working today?”

Joey avoided her gaze. “Today is workday. They are all in their office cubicles.”

“Really? Why didn’t I see them?” Niki frowned and scanned the desks carefully.

Squinting her eyes to search them carefully, she finally saw several employees hunching over their desks.

They all looked depressed with dark circles and haggard faces.

“What’s the matter?” Niki blinked. “Why are your dark circles so big? Does Brother Julian mistreat you?”

Joey waved his hand and said in low tones, ‘He doesn’t abuse us, but we have really suffered much.”

They couldn’t express their suffering.

“Could you please advise Mr. Graham? We have been working overtime for several consecutive days. Even if

we want to continue working overtime, our bodies are unable to withstand it.”

*Brother Julian doesn’t seem to be someone who would ask you to work extra hours.” Niki raised her

eyebrows.

Julian was usually cold-hearted, decisive and tough, and so the employees were somewhat afraid of him.

But he never asked employees to work overtime. As long as they didn’t made big mistakes, he never

excoriated them.

Therefore, although it’s rumored that the work atmosphere in Graham Group was frightening, the employees

were actually very happy.

“Yes, Mr. Graham, as everyone knows, treats us very well. But you also know the company has not gained the

authorization of Glory Group recently. The atmosphere in the company…”

He stopped saying the rest.

Niki immediately understood where the low pressure came from.

“Since Mr. Graham came back from outside today, he has fired several people in succession… One of them

has been…”.

“What happened to him?” Niki urged him to finish speaking.

“He has been faint from fear.” He gritted his teeth and whispered.

It was no exaggeration. Today, those colleagues didn’t know Mr. Graham was in a bad mood. They were in the eye of the storm when they took the new plan to him for review.

Unexpectedly, the deafening sound of falling objects came from the CEO’s office and they crawled out of it. Some of them even had crimson and bloody scratches on their faces.

They were scratched by a sharp folder thrown out by the CEO.

“Brother Julian was so angry… Let me take a look.” Niki tensed, hearing someone was faint.

“I’ll thank Miss Linch on behalf of all colleagues.”

He told Niki just because he expected her to excite Mr. Graham or let him go home first.

After all, Mr. Graham loved Niki so much that perhaps she wouldn’t be treated like them.

It’s better for her to persuade Mr. Graham than for everyone to be afraid in his sight.

‘But where has Brother Julian gone today? Why does he suddenly become angry?”

Joey carefully recalled, “He should have gone to the Lance family. He behaved like this after going back.”

“The Lance family? You mean the Lance family from Eagle Group?” Her eyes flickered slightly.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Did Julian also go to the Lance family today? Her heart trembled. ‘Did he see Natalie collude with Jerry?”

‘Julian is so angry whether because of Natalie or… She was not sure.

“If he doesn’t love her, no matter what she does, he won’t care it.’

‘But if he is angry or has other mood swings… What does that mean?’ Niki dared not think about it.

People said that love begets hate… Where did hatred come from without love?

Niki hesitated and looked at the CEO’s office, unsure of what she was thinking.

‘Miss Linch…” Joey had butterflies in his stomach when he noticed her strange expression.

Niki regained her composure and drove the idea out of her mind. She cleared her throat, “I’ll go now.”

‘It’s impossible for Julian to still love Natalie. Julian can only love me!”

Joey saw Niki walk towards the office and prayed the CEO could calm down.

Natalie drove back home.

After putting down her bag, she took the medicine bag from the dining table, put some cassia seeds into the kettle, and plugged in the socket to boil it.

The cassia seed, a herbaceous shrub on the mountain, could brighten eyes and nourish kidneys Natalie had

been busy doing experiments in the laboratory these days, and her eyes were inevitably tired.

She saw the water rolling in the kettle, took her phone and sent a Facebook message to Ryan.

“I gave your Facebook account to Jerry. Remember to agree his friend request.”

She never procrastinated and only rest after finishing everything necessary.

Since she promised Jerry just now, she must complete the task in a timely manner.

After sending the message, Natalie placed her phone on the table and walked to the bathroom.

She chose to stand in the bathtub rather than lie down. She stood under the shower and turned on the water

to its maximum capacity.

The rapid water flow splashed up and scattered on her snow-white shoulders and chest.

The fierce momentum in the shower made her feel both nervous and at ease. She could feel the tension in

her heart was eased.

She closed the shower and came out of the bathroom.

She sat in front of the dressing table in a light blue bathrobe and slowly dried her hair. Her movement appeared very elegant.

Maybe Ryan had something to deal with and so his reply was unusually slow. She only saw his message after washing up.

“Did you give my Facebook account to Jerry?” The tone was questioning.

She replied with only one word, “Yes.”

Ryan did not reply.

She frowned, ‘What does Ryan mean? Does he really hate Jerry? But he has no reason to dislike Jerry.”

She was puzzled and decided to call him to inquire.

The phone was connected.

“Doctor, why do you suddenly call? Ryan’s voice sounded.

Before she could speak, Ryan said gently, “Are you asking me to add Jerry? I have accepted his friend request. You may rest assured.”

Although he was unwilling…

She was about to say something but Ryan sald first. According to his tone, he was not angry.

Although his tone was the same as usual, Natalie thought it would be better to explain. “I ask you to add Jerry because I want the Lance family to directly contact you, and so you don’t have to contact them through

me.”

Get Bagus

“Will the Lance family directly contact me?” His tone suddenly felt a little pleased. “Does it mean Jerry comes

to me not you?”

“Yes, I plan to let you take charge of Abaca Project.” She thought the reason why he was joyful was that he

could play a leading role in drug development.

But she was wrong.

Ryan didn’t ask about drug development but said excitedly, “So you won’t contact Jerry in the future, will

you?”

Natalie was taken aback. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

‘He was joyful for this reason?’
