Chapter 54 The Incident from Thirty Years Ago

“What’s wrong with Ms. Mossey? Why is she throwing a tantrum when she’s supposed to be recuperating? It’s going to be a long day.”

The nurse shoved his hand aside before running off, leaving Noah with a bitter taste in his mouth.

It had been almost eight years since he started working for Maverick right after the latter joined Wright Construction Group. He had no family or friends, and it was Maverick who gave him a job.

As for Natasha, she was the first person to ever smile at him and was also the very first friend he made.

Consequently, he saw Maverick as family, whereas Natasha was someone even dearer than that whom. he felt the urge to protect.

It was true that he liked Natasha romantically, but he hid those feelings deep in his heart. Instead, he secretly hoped that she would find happiness.

Unfortunately, he was filled with indignance when he saw her having a tough time, which was made worse by Maverick’s pursuit of Gwendolyn and his neglect of Natasha while she was both sick and in danger.

Holding that thought, Noah clenched his fists as the resolve within him gradually strengthened.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn received a call after emerging from the hospital.

News of Natasha being wheeled into the emergency room again brought her a sense of elation.

Now that Natasha had been taught a lesson, Gwendolyn decided to head to the training facility where there was work waiting to be done.

As her Volkswagen Santana had been wrecked the night before and she had no time to get a new car, she ended up taking a taxi.

Upon her arrival, the staff greeted her cordially, while the person in charge reported to her about the equipment and processes that were being improved upon.
