One Night Stand With That Beggar

Nelson took out a stack of papers and placed it on the desk in front of Naomi.

“This is the proposal that I’ve prepared based on your company’s current situation.”

Reading through it, she was really stunned by the arrangements that he had planned. He was not in their company, yet he knew everything about them.

The more Naomi read it, the more frightened she felt.

“How do you know our company’s circumstances so clearly?”

He quirked his eyebrow. ” Experience. Have you forgotten that I used to work in the same kind of company? What you are experiencing now is what I have experienced in the past. Therefore, I’m very confident.”

Naomi frowned, “So what? I still won’t hire you.”

Nelson pursed his lips. He knew that she was stubborn, but he hadn’t expected her to still be so persistent at such a time.

“I won’t do you any harm anymore!”

He continued, “My choices before are my greatest regrets in this life. Can you give me a chance to make amends for it?”

She shook her head resolutely, “I will give you no more chances! I think it’s time for you to leave now.”

“Naomi, I-”

Hearing Naomi’s words, Emma went over and was ready to see him out.

“Mr. Luther, this way please!”

After seeing him out, Emma returned and saw that Naomi was still standing there.

Hearing her footsteps, Naomi opened her mouth.

She apologized, “I’m sorry! He’s very capable, but I-”

Emma shook her head. “You don’t need to apologize. I understand.”

She knew what Naomi had gone through all the while. so she definitely understood her feelings.

“Let’s think of another way! There will always be a way out.”

“Thank you, Emma!”

Emma replied jokingly, “Don’t mention it! Get back to your work now, otherwise, I will have you cook our dinner tonight!”

“Okay, Miss Fisher!”

…

Things were not going too well between Eddison and Rachel.

After that day’s conversation, neither of them brought the topic up again.

They pretended as if nothing had happened that day.

Before that, they had been getting closer to each other. However, the relationship between the two of them seemed to have returned to its original state after their conversation.

The only thing that was different from the time back then was that Eddison was paying Rachel more attention than before.

In the morning, the two of them had their breakfast as usual. After that, he took the initiative to invite her, “Would you like to ride my car?”

“No need! I’ll ask the chauffeur to send me.”

Upon hearing that, he didn’t insist. Instead, he simply got into his car and left.

The chauffeur let out a sigh.

“Young Madam, in fact, Young Master Eddison truly cares about you. Why don’t you give him a chance?”

Bewildered by her own inner conflict, Rachel stared blankly at Eddison’s car, which was leaving.

“You won’t get it.”

It was not that she did not want to give him an opportunity. On the contrary, she wanted to give herself a chance to calm down. After witnessing Bianca’s tragic life with her own eyes, she felt that she had been too hot-headed before.

Recently, she would lose all reasoning whenever she got close to Eddison.

She was worried about her future if she continued falling head over heels for him.

She kept thinking about this matter along the way until the chauffeur called out to her, “Young Madam, we’re here.”

Just when she was about to get out of the car, she saw Eddison standing not far away. He was stopped by Sierra, who was greeting him happily.

Rachel paused when she saw that.

“I need to sort out my stuff first. I’ll get off in a bit.”

Concurrently, Sierra enthusiastically handed the breakfast she had bought for Eddison behind a tree in front of a building.

“Eddie, I remembered that you like the pizza of this restaurant the most. I just happened to pass by it and brought pizza for you this morning. Why don’t you have a try?”

He shook his head and refused, “I’ve had my breakfast.”

“You can still have a bite to see if it’s good. It’s really delicious!”

After that, she took a piece of it and brought it near to his lips, “Come on, have a bite!”

He took a step back subconsciously when she stretched out her hand towards him. Subsequently, she failed to hold the piece of pizza properly and it fell to the ground.

An awkward silence followed as they tried to think of something to say. Sierra was indeed an outgoing girl, so she managed to make an excuse to move past the embarrassment.

“Eddie, don’t get me wrong! I just want to thank you for your help this time. When my family went back yesterday, they couldn’t stop talking about how kind you are!”

He pursed his lips and said, “You’re welcome.”

Sierra put on a relieved look and replied, “It’s good that you’re not misunderstanding my intentions. Then, I’ll go to my lecture.”

After saying that, she ran away without waiting for him to speak.

When she turned a corner, she saw Rachel coming in from outside.

She subconsciously turned around and saw that Eddison, who was behind her, was also looking at Rachel. At the sight of that, Sierra had an inscrutable expression.

…

Sierra went to the library at noon.

At first, everyone was busy reading in the quiet room, but Sierra’s appearance broke the silence.

Sierra and her ex-boyfriend, Jairus had been the subject of gossip presently. Since she was in front of them, everyone got even more excited.

Those who were thick-skinned had already started making comments in a loud voice.

“I heard that Jairus has found a new girlfriend lately. She’s the campus belle of the university nearby. Do you all know about that?”

“Well, that doesn’t surprise me. These good-looking women are all gold diggers.”

As they were talking, they carefully observed Sierra’s expression. Most of them purposely made snide remarks just to humiliate her. To them, it would be best if she cried, which would gladden their hearts.

Sierra knew their intentions. Hence, she paused for a few seconds to suppress her anger, and then speak with a smile on her face.

Then, she spoke with a smile on her face, “Hello, everyone! I’ve bought you all some refreshments from the new bakery at the adjacent street. Feel free to give them a try!”

The products from the new bakery were sold at high prices.

Most of the students were reluctant to go there. They were thrilled upon hearing that Sierra was offering them refreshments from that bakery.

They changed their attitude in an instant. Someone even took the initiative to stand up and pull her over eagerly.

“Sierra, everyone here misses you so much! You’ve been away for far too long!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“That’s right! Lectures are always more fun with you here!”

Sierra silently treated their insincere words with ridicule in her heart, but she feigned happiness in front of them.

“I’ve missed you all too!”

The people who were mocking Sierra just then also began to speak for her.

“Jairus went too far. He thinks he’s better than us because he has more money. You must have suffered by his side.”

Although that person was only flattering her, she somehow alluded to the non-materialistic image projected by Sierra before that.

Feeling embarrassed, Sierra said, “It wasn’t about the money. I was blind at that time and was deceived by his sweet talk. In fact, there are so many people who are richer than him.”

Someone came out to smooth things over by saying, “That’s true! By the way, there’s a rich guy pursuing Sierra at the moment, isn’t there? She hasn’t told us anything, though.”

Someone asked curiously, “Who is it?”

“It’s Eddison! Don’t you know that?”

Everyone immediately began to whisper and discuss about Eddison, and even Sierra herself couldn’t help but hold her breath and listen to their gossip.

“Have you noticed the car he drives the past few days? It might look mediocre on the outside, but my brother knows cars very well. I’ve heard from him that that kind of car is normally custom-made. There’s no way an ordinary guy can afford that car. ”

Upon hearing that, Sierra’s jaw dropped. She really had overlooked that fact.
