Daniella was excited and quickly grabbed her phone to check. However, she soon discovered that the call came from Hector Hendrix, not Casey.
Daniella didn’t want to assume too much about Hector. He was a mysterious individual she had never met, yet he had quietly assisted her on multiple occasions
She answered the call cautiously. Mr. Hendrix, aren’t you sleeping yet?
Hector said coldly. “Sleeping? Are you slacking off? You don’t plan to go after River anymore?”
Daniella was stunned. In the past, she was the one who took the initiative to ask Hector for help to deal with River. Why was Hector now reaching out to her for that purpose?
Daniella said, “Mr. Hendrix, you’re mistaken I hate her so much I can’t wait to see her vanish from the face of this world! It’s just that I haven’t had the time yet.”
Hector sneered. “You don’t have time? Or are you just afraid Noah will get hurt in the process?
That was strange. Why did Hector suddenly mention Noah’s name?
Daniella quickly defended herself. “Of course not. He drove me away so heartlessly. How can I not hate him?”
Hector said, “In that case, make good use of the opportunity you have to kill two birds with one.
stone.”
Daniella was puzzled “Mr. Hendrix, I don’t quite understand what you mean…
Mr. Hendrix scoffed. “Didn’t Casey already tell you about his family’s scandal?”
Daniella’s eyes widened in shock.
Was he talking about Noah’s mother’s secret? But how did Hector know about it? Was he monitoring her?!
Clutching her chest as her heart raced, Daniella stammered, “Y–Yes. 1–I get it.”
Don’t disappoint me!”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Daniella stared at her phone in a daze.
Hector had sent her that phone, and he must have been monitoring her to know about Noah’s mother. She couldn’t make any reckless moves now. Otherwise, with Hector’s capabilities, she might end up in trouble.
But then again, Hector’s words were a little puzzling.
It sounded like he wanted her to deal with River as soon as possible, but she had a feeling that once this matter was exposed, Noah would be the one who would be affected.
What was Hector’s motive for helping her out of the blue? Also, who exactly was he?
After pondering for a long time. Daniella made a decision. She would uncover the truth about
Hector and reveal his true identity. She couldn’t let him continue manipulating her like this!
The next day.
When Noah woke up, he saw River curled up on the sofa.
Just as he was about to get up, the ward door was pushed open.
Reuben walked in with breakfast in hand and placed it on the bedside. “Mr. De Marco, here’s some breakfast for you and Ms. Healy
Noah nodded and said calmly, “Cover her with a blanket ”
Reuben nodded. He picked up the blanket beside him and was about to cover River with it when she opened her eyes
“There’s no need to trouble yourself,” she said sleepily. Then, she sat up and looked at Noah. “Don’t pull out the needle. Make sure the IV drip finishes)
Noah’s expression softened “Alright Come over and have breakfast.”
“No, thank you.” River looked at her watch. “It’s getting late. I have to go to the office. Have a good rest.”
Noah’s expression instantly turned cold. “How long can breakfast take? Or is it that as the vice. president, Kenny, can’t even handle the most basic internal affairs of the company?”
River stopped in her tracks. She suppressed the urge to retort.
She reminded herself that Noah had saved her life, so she shouldn’t argue with him if she could avoid it.
River controlled her temper and replied, “Kenny can carry his own weight, I’m sure. But that doesn’t mean I should be idle. Since I was absent the entire day yesterday, he’s been busy enough. I’ll take the breakfast with me. Is that acceptable?”
As she spoke, River walked to Noah’s bedside, picked up a bag of breakfast, and was about to leave.
Noah’s face darkened, and he could not help but ask, “Are you concerned about him?”
“Noah, can you please be reasonable? River’s frustration was instantly ignited.
Reuben was at a loss for words while holding the blanket
Why were they arguing over breakfast?
Noah sneered. “Am I being unreasonable, or are you just in a hurry to see him? You can i even go a day without meeting him?”
Are you crazy? River was enraged “Is there a problem with me going to the company? Kenny has to keep an eye on the factory, so I need to manage the company. I had decided yesterday that I would try not to argue with you whenever possible because you saved my life. But I never expected you to say such unbearable words!”
River stormed out of the hospital room, leaving behind such a frigid atmosphere in the room that Heuben wanted to make a run for 1.
Noah looked at Reuben coldly. “Was I being too harsh?”
Reuben was speechless, but his boss had asked him a question. There was no way he could avoid answering.
Reuben braced himself and said, “Managing the company sounds pretty…”
“I didn’t ask you any other questions!” Noah shouted in a low voice.
Reuben stammered, “Y–You were rather harsh. Ms. Healy just wanted to go to the company. She didn’t say she wanted to see Kenny. You were the one who mentioned it first…
Noah frowned. “Didn’t she imply it?”
“No…” Reuben sighed. “Mr. De Marco, don’t you go to the company every day to work?”
“Is her small company as busy as mine?” Noah asked.
At the mention of this, Reuben became serious. “Mr. De Marco, I have to say that in the fashion Industry, Ms. Healy’s company’s quarterly sales have far exceeded MK’s current quarterly sales.
“Furthermore, MK’s sales for the newly designed products have hit an all–time low.”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “River’s company has the highest quarterly sales in the global fashion market?”
“Yes! MK is currently in second place,” Reuben replied. “The recent incident involving Ms.
Healy has garnered a lot of attention and indirectly boosted the company’s image. Of course, Kenny’s design skills are one of the contributing factors.”
Upon hearing that, Noah fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he said, “I want you to continue finding a way to poach Kenny! I want him to join our company!”
Bouhen was s
Reuben was shocked. “Are you planning to continue competing with Ms. Healy for talent?”
Competing for talent was putting it nicely. Noah was clearly trying to ruin things for River.
Noah scoffed and looked at Reuben unhappily. “Are you suggesting I admit that I’m inferior to a woman? When it comes to relationships, I’m willing to compromise with River in every way. But when it comes to business, I’ll never let anyone else stand in my way, not even friends or family!
“Besides, Kenny’s personal life is too messy. He shouldn’t hang around River all the time!”
It sounded reasonable enough.
Reuben understood that this was purely a business decision. If the boss compromised in every aspect because of relationships, he would not be as successful as he was today.
Reuben nodded. “I understand. I’ll contact Kenny!”
Just as River arrived at TYC, Naomi knocked on her office door and walked in
“Ms. Healy, there’s someone waiting for you in the reception area.”
River was puzzled. It was only 830 am. Who would come looking for her so early?
River walked toward the reception area and pushed open the door. She saw Jamie in a white dress sitting on a chair. On the table next to her, there was a thermos flask.
When she saw River, Jamie quickly picked up the thermos flask and stood up. “River, I brought you some soup.”
River was surprised to see her. “Jamie, why did you come without calling me first?”
Jamie looked at River warily and said, “I called you, but your phone was turned off. Last night, when I saw that you didn’t come back for the entire night, I asked Ty and Lia, and they told me that you were drenched in the rain last night.
asked Dr. Bailey what medicine would be good for you. She said some hot soup would do the job, so I had her help me make some and brought it to you.”
Warmth filled River’s heart. She took the soup and said. “Thank you, Jamie.”
Jamie scratched her head, blushing shyly as she sat down. ‘Getting caught in the rain is bad enough. Catching a cold is even worse. I don’t want you to get sick. Getting injections can be painful, you know.”
River picked up her spoon. “I know, but Jamie, Noah was also drenched in the rain. He’s in the hospital now. Would you like to go see him?”
The mention of Noah caught Jamie off guard for a moment. After a brief pause, she replied. “He’ll be fine. Boys have strong bodies. Girls are the ones who need more care.”
