Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 282

Everyone had different personalities. Some would arrive at the company half an hour before work, while others would not waste a second and

would go to the company on time.

For example, some felt getting exactly 60 marks was the best outcome in school exams. Obtaining exactly 60 points was a reflection of one’s ability.

A score of 98 or 99 was not impressive enough. They would be considered outstanding at most. A score of 60 marks exact is the goal to reach.

Rose was the kind of person who went to work on time. At this moment, she was in the front passenger seat and urging the driver-cum-bodyguard to drive faster.

The driver’s name was Tom. Rose did not know his family name.

Tom was neither handsome nor tall. He was thin but looked very strong and had a good physique. He looked like a good fighter. Although Rose was anxious to get to work on time, it did not stop her from scrutinizing Tom in detail.

“Tom, drive faster and step on the accelerator. It’s fine. If you are fined,

brother will deal with it. I’ll be much harder to deal with if I’m late for

my work.”

Tom wanted to tell Natalie he would be on time if she could be a few minutes earlier. He had to put his driving skills to the test daily to ensure that Natalie was not late. However, Tom could only reply obediently, “Okay, Miss Natalie.”

Seeing that he had agreed, Rose was relieved. She leaned against her seat leisurely. After all, Tom’s driving skills were good. He could ensure she was on time every day. Even though she thought that way, Rose decided to wake up five minutes early in the future. It has been an arduous task for Tom so far.

Rose suddenly asked, “Tom, can I ask you a rather impolite question?”

Tom had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He wanted to tell Natalie not to ask the question if it sounded rude. In the end, he muttered, “Miss Natalie, please go ahead.”

Rose asked bluntly, “Why did your mother name you Tom?”

Tom explained straightforwardly, “My mother despised my father’s looks. When I was born, she did not want me to take after my father’s looks, so she named me after the most famous handsome actor she could think of, Tom.”

Rose was surprised by this practice. She thought, “Well, based on Tom’s features, his name clearly showed that he took after his father’s genes.”

Tom smiled and earnestly asked, “Miss Natalie, did you think my name didn’t suit my appearance?”

Rose said against her will, “No, no, how can that be? A name is just a name. You’re not bad-looking. Everyone’s aesthetic sense is different.”

Sure enough, people liked to hear good things, regardless of their social status. Tom immediately smiled after hearing that.

When Rose arrived at the hospital, she realized that her phone was not with her. It was still with Frank! She woke up late that morning and was in a hurry, so she forgot to retrieve her phone from Frank’s room. Frank had a habit of sleeping in and basically would not wake up that early in the morning.

After thinking about it, Rose used the landline to call Frank. On the first attempt, there was still no answer. She called the second time, but there was still no answer. Rose looked at the time and saw that she had five minutes before work started. She continued to call.

The call was picked up on the fifth attempt. Frank’s tone was very unkind. His voice was hoarse. Frank said, “Hey, speak.”

Rose immediately replied, “Frank, send my phone to the hospital when you wake up.”

An impatient voice replied. “Can’t you come and get it yourself this morning? I’m going back to sleep. We’ll talk after I wake up.”

Rose was speechless. Frank did not have such an arrogant attitude when he tried to borrow her phone. She said, “Frank, that’s not right. You can’t act like this. You’ll only wake up in the afternoon. I know it! I need my phone before then.”

Frank replied, “Then go home and get it yourself tonight.”
