Chapter 458 Samuel Is Here Too

“Come on, Yandel. Just do as I say.” Natalie looked at him from the corner of her eyes and insisted.

Yandel felt unsure about it, but still, he played along.

Little did he know, Samuel was indeed sitting in his office and sipping from his cup of tea as he observed their every move from a screen in his office.

Samuel started this black market when he was only eighteen. Since he did not launch this project under the family’s name, this was considered his own asset.

It was put under the management of another proxy, Weston Yount, so no one knew Samuel was the real owner. All they knew was that this black market was worth a handsome amount of money.

It so happened that Samuel was there that day to see how things were running in the market. He did not expect to run into Natalie here.

If it were not for some urgent work he had to attend to, he would have gone to her. Although he could not spend time with her, he still wanted to know what she was up to on his turf, so he asked Weston to show him the surveillance footage.

It went without saying that Weston was not aware of Samuel’s intention. He thought Samuel wanted to know how things functioned on the ground at the market, so he did his job and showed him the footage, waiting for his comments solemnly.

Samuel noticed that Natalie vanished from his sight for a while. When she reappeared, she was wearing a mask that Samuel had never seen before, but still, he was able to recognize her.

Just what is she up to?

Samuel smirked looking at the mischievous woman.

Meanwhile, Weston was still running Samuel through every single procedure in their operation with undiminished dedication. He was totally unaware that Samuel was not paying attention to him until Samuel’s cup fell to the ground.

Crash!

When Samuel saw Yandel putting his arm over Natalie’s shoulder, the cup in his hand slipped.

Weston jumped at the noise. More importantly, he felt it was a shame that the priceless antique passed down generations ago just shattered.

Did I say something wrong?

“I’ll get you another one right away, Mr. Bowers,” the poor man quickly said, while he thought hard about what he said in the past few minutes.

Gosh, I swear I didn’t do anything wrong!

Don’t tell me breathing itself is a sin.

Weston could only conjecture in his mind because when he met Samuel’s icy cold glare, he knew he would be digging his own grave if he were to ask some stupid question.

He immediately went to get another cup of tea while Samuel stared at Yandel from the screen.

“Achoo!”

Over on the other side, Yandel sneezed out of nowhere.

He suddenly felt as if someone was watching him and that feeling sent a chill down his spine.

“Are you okay, Yandel?”

Yandel badly wanted to tell her that he did not feel like he could do it, but Ross was already assigned another task, and there was no one else available other than Yandel himself.

“Of course…”

“Fine. I want you to pay close attention,” she said, passing him a quick glance. “I’m really not in a good mood today. I swear I have to burn a hole in his pocket. I want to make him pay for what he did.”

Yandel shuddered at the sound of it, but still, he hardened his gaze and nodded unreservedly. “I’ll do everything I can to assist you, Boss.”

“Good.”

Yandel held her shoulder tight and went over to Thomas.

The woman had just returned to Thomas’ side. From her facial expression, it seemed like things did not go as she wished.

Thomas looked at her tenderly, trying to coax her. “What’s wrong, Yeva? I thought everything was just fine a few seconds ago.”

“Seriously,” Yeva retorted, “I’m better than your wife. She’s just a haggard old woman. The only thing is that she is your wife and I’m your mistress. I was just thinking about this, and it really made me so angry.”

“Come on, she might be my wife, but you’re the most important person in my heart,” he said, pinching her cheek playfully. “I lavish you with all the money I have. What she has is just a tiny portion of what you get. Tell me, is there anything you want from this place? I will get it for you.”

“I want to get some jade stones. I want to try my luck,” Yeva answered, pointing at the newly-arrived stocks.

“I thought you said you only wanted to watch. Since when are you interested in stone-gambling?”

“I just feel like it.”

When Thomas saw that his lover was pissed, he just did as he told without showing any sign of anger.

Natalie and Yandel approached them, but Natalie looked away when they came close. She hated Thomas so much she had to look away to conceal the antipathy in her eyes.

“Oh, hi!” Thomas suddenly greeted Thomas. “Isn’t this Mr. Nichols from Dexmed Pharmaceutical?”
