A Cue For Happiness

Hold Herself Back

the car stopped in front of the police station.She was about to go into the autopsy room with the body bag when she was halted in her tracks by a stranger.“Ms. Nichols, my employer has been waiting for you for quite some time. Could you please step over to that Bentley for a few words?”Natalie glanced at the Bentley not far away and sneered. “Shouldn’t you introduce yourself before you offer an invitation to people?”Upon hearing that, Billy Morin was stunned. As Samuel’s subordinate, he had dealt with many kinds of people before, but he had never met an outright discourteous woman like this one.“Ms. Nichols, my superior is the CEO of Centurion Corporation, Samuel Bowers, and he would like to have a few words with you.”Samuel Bowers?Even though Natalie had not worked in Dellmoor for five years, she had heard about Samuel Bowers.The Bowers family was prominent in Dellmoor and even Chanaea, involved in various industries, including real estate, finance, development of chips, sports, entertainment, and other industries.The Bowers family may seem low profile, but their involvement in various industries was like the roots of a tree that had long since seeped and spread to all walks of life of Chanaea.I’ve never crossed paths with Samuel.

I’m doing it out of sincerity for Sophia, yet I didn’t even get to see her face.“Did she mention her reason for rejecting my invitation?”“She said that she was too busy with an autopsy at the moment to meet you.”After saying that, Billy carefully sized up Samuel through the rearview mirror.Samuel’s gaze turned dark upon hearing that as he pressed his finger lightly
