Chapter 35 Phone Rang in Meeting
Archie curled his lips, and even his ever sparse eyebrows were tinted with a smirk.
"Ok, I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Bye then."
"Bye."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the phone with a pleasant smile.
The sun was sinking, with the golden light spilling from the horizon to the earth, as if ferrying a warm glow to the world, even the heart was wrapped in warmth.
He put his phone away, turned around and walked into the conference room.
The executives were waiting for him. The marketing manager standing in front of the projector was about to continue to report on the plan, but was interrupted by Archie raising his hand.
"All right, we are all tired today, the meeting will be held here first. Revise the proposal I pointed out and show me tomorrow morning. That's it, adjourn the meeting!"
He said, striding off in the lead.
The top brass were stunned.
What was going on?
Was this the end of the meeting?
In the past, whenever Archie notified a meeting, it would be held until 9 o'clock in the night.
Even 12 o'clock!
Why was it so early today?
It was only after 5:00 p.m., boss!
Not only the top brass of the crowd, but Brian was slightly shocked.
When Archie went out to answer the phone just now, he accidentally glanced at the caller ID on his phone screen and knew that it was Natalia calling. And yet, he didn't expect she'd be so attractive!
She made his boss, who was always known as a workaholic, even left his job just to come home and have dinner with her.
Brian silently decided in his mind to change his strategy from now on!
It didn't matter how well he served the boss, he had to serve the boss's wife well!
After calling Archie, Nataliamade a call to Clara.
The Dawson family was in a state of depression at this time.
Shawn had already been called back by Henry, so he wasn't there. In the living room sat Clara and Jessica, as well as Philip and his wife. The room was silent and no one spoke.
Therefore, when the phone rang, it was abrupt and jarring.
Clara gave an impatient glance at David Wong, the butler, who hurriedly walked over to pick it up.
A few seconds later, he trotted back and whispered.
"Old Lady, it's Miss Natalia."
Clara sneered.
"She has the nerve to call back!"
David Wong lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Jessica timidly said in a soft voice.
"Grandma, could it be that she realized she went too far and called to apologize?"
Philip cursed angrily, "She thought that an apology would work?
Can she afford to pay for all the damage to the company?"
Clara listened to Jessica's words, but her gaze flickered.
And she got up and walked over to answer the phone.
"What is it?"
Across the line, Natalia hooked her lips.
"Old Lady Dawson, has it been a good day?"
Clara's face was gloomy and she said in a cold voice.
"You don't have to call and mock me. The Dawson family has lost face though, as a member of the Dawson family, you lost your face too!"
"Really? I'm a little surprised that in your mind, I'm still considered a member of the Dawson family!"
The obviously sarcastic words caused Clara's throat to lump.
Something was about to spill out of her mouth.
But she suppressed it and said in a deep voice
"Could you get to the point?"
"It is about a legacy of my mother. The original condition was that I had to wait until I got married before I could inherit it, now that I'm married, isn't it time for you to give it back to me too?" Clara's gaze flickered slightly.
She did not refuse, but said coldly.
"When do you want it?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better."
"The day after tomorrow at the earliest. The notary's lawyer isn't in J City right now, and I need to inform him."
"No Problem!"
The conversation was cut off at this point and there was silence on the phone.
Just as Natalia was about to hang up, Clara suddenly sighed.
"Natalia, I know that the resentment you have built up against me and against the Dawson family over these five years. I admit that I was the one who had a lack of consideration in this matter.
But I'm your grandmother anyway, and they're your father and sister. You can hate us, that's our own family business, but how can you unite the outsiders against us?"
Natalia laughed abruptly at those words.
"Old Lady Dawson, when you first approached Alfred to discuss setting me up together, did you ever think that we were families?"
Clara, "..."
"If you're trying to play the affection card with me and get me to persuade Archie to let you guys go, I'm sorry, I can't do it."
"You--"
Clara's face turned red with anger and she gritted her teeth and whispered.
"This is your mother's property too! Can you really bear to see them destroyed by someone?"
Natalia's tone was suddenly cold.
"Since you know that it belonged to my mother, you should return it to me! Otherwise, I won't make it easy for you!"
When she finished, she cut the phone off violently.
Clara covered her chest, breathing heavily and blushing furiously.
Seeing this, Jessica rushed forward to hold her in place, exclaiming,
"Grandma, are you okay?"
Aleena also rushed forward and together they helped her to sit down on the sofa, and took the medicine to her.
Clara's face improved a bit at that.
She leaned hard on her crutches with a pained look on her face, "This sinner!"
Philip had just heard what was on the phone and asked worriedly,
"Mom, what do we do now?"
Clara shook her head, with her face full of fatigue.
"Don't ask me, I don't know right now, let's wait and see!"
Natalia was in a great mood after hanging up the phone.
It was estimated that Archie was almost home, so she went downstairs.
It was now six in the afternoon. As soon as she came downstairs, she saw a black Rolls Royce pulling up in front of the courtyard.
Su Mu opened the car door for him and the man stepped out of the car in the twilight, the sunset spread out behind him, enveloping his slender body in a thin golden glow, looking like a god.
Archie's arm held a jacket. She stood in the doorway, wearing a housecoat and showing a smile.
"Waiting for me?"
He came over to her and reached out to rub her head.
Natalia stiffened slightly, somewhat unaccustomed to his intimate manner.
So stepping back slightly to avoid it, she said,
"I came out to see the sunset."
Archie's smile deepened.
Seeing sunsets in gazebo was much better.
Only smiling, he rubbed her hair before bending down to change his shoes.
After changing into his slippers, he took her hand by the hand and headed inside.
Dinner had been ready. It was Natalia's first meal in the Mccarthy Vila, and it was rich.00000
