A Cue For Happiness

Picking Her Up Personally

luxurious Acapella was. She refused to accept something that she didn’t deserve. However, considering how hard it was to get one’s hands on food like that, she decided it would still be best to share it with others.Effie didn’t touch the food at all. Instead, she stared at Natalie unblinkingly.She couldn’t help but feel that there was something about Natalie. Not only was she good at her job, but she also treated bigshots like Gerald and Samuel completely neutrally. She knew where to draw the line. Despite not standing out much, she still managed to get others’ attention without doing anything.“Can you give me a cracker, Boss?” Effie asked.Natalie met her gaze and grinned. “Aren’t you going to eat the food Samuel bought?”“It’s not like I know him.

She’s doing this to get you hooked and make you curious. If she’s that cunning, then she might even use Sophia for her own benefits.”Samuel glanced around before knocking on the table rhythmically. “I see you have a very active imagination, Billy.”“Sir—”“Even our own people can’t get any information about her. Do you still think she’s an ordinary person?” Samuel cut him off. He sat in his office chair with a dark gaze as a barely noticeable grin surfaced on his face. “Her job as a coroner is nothing more than the tip of the iceberg.”Billy finally came to a realization after hearing those words. “I underestimated her, Sir. I’m sorry.”“It’s okay.” Samuel crossed his arms. “Postpone my schedule for tonight. I’m going
