The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 6 A Sense Of Foreboding

Natalie and the other two went to the eighth floor of the Major Crimes Unit building.

The eighth floor was shared by coroners and the forensic department. Under the bright ceiling lights, it was colder than other floors, probably because it was closer to the morgue.

Natalie did not spare any time to appreciate the new office. Instead, she swiftly disinfected herself and was ready to bring the two coroners into the autopsy room.

The moment she turned around, she noticed that Effie was standing in front of the window with her eyes fixated on the Bentley that was still there.

“Are you still thinking about Samuel?”

Although Natalie saw through Effie, the latter denied, “N-No. Stop talking nonsense.”

“Only you would know whether I’m talking nonsense or not.” Natalie looked at her with cold eyes and continued, “I won’t interfere with the private lives of my subordinates, but if your emotions affect your duties, I’ll have you pack up your things and leave immediately. I’ll do so even if your grandfather is the chief of the Major Crimes Unit.”

Unwillingly, Effie bit her lips, but she did not retort back.

Before Natalie officially took over her new post, Gerald had already advised Effie to control her temper and learn from the new coroner diligently. If Natalie gave her a D rating at the end of the year, Gerald would never cover up for her and dismiss her as required.

Besides that, she was also afraid that Natalie would complain about her to Gerald. Thinking about that, she gave up on Samuel and concentrated on her work.
