Chapter 1217
Under Samuel's attentive care, Natalie recovered completely.
Natalie had been away from work for almost two months. When she finally returned to her office, she ran her fingers across her
desk, and a strange feeling enveloped her. It was as if a whole lifetime had passed since the last time she had been in her office.
She had found her purpose in life. She was no longer lost.
Lia managed to beat Yandel to be the first one to prepare Natalie's breakfast for her—a cup of black coffee and chocolate chip
cookies.
“Ms. Nichols, here you go.”
“Thank you!”
Natalie picked up the mug and inhaled the aroma of the coffee deeply. Then, she took a small sip and let the warmth of the
coffee slowly spread through her body.
“How is it?” Lia asked eagerly.
“Lionel is a very lucky man.” Natalie placed the mug down on the table and smiled at her. “Unlike him, I only drink coffee
occasionally, but I would love to drink a cup of this wonderful hand-brewed coffee every morning.”
Lia had only meant to do a nice thing for Natalie. She had not expected that it would lead to a conversation about her love life.
She blushed prettily and stammered, “I-I don't know w-what you're talking about...”
Lia had always been very diligent and professional in her work. Ever since she started working with Natalie, she had grown
exponentially and was becoming indispensable. Natalie chuckled. She was amused to see Lia acting so shy.
“Since when does our Lia stutter?”
“I-I'm not!” Lia insisted, stammering again.
Lia's blush deepened, reddening all the way up to the tip of her ears.
“Ms. Nichols, if you keep teasing me like this, I-I won't speak to you anymore!”
When she saw that Lia was getting upset, Natalie smiled and said in a placating tone, “Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you. I just
wanted to say that I'm happy for you. Now the two of you hold each other in your hearts.”
After Lia heard Natalie's words, her eyes began tearing up.
No one understands what it's like better than Natalie...
Lia was born into a prominent family, and she was very popular in her community. Nonetheless, she had always felt a pure,
innocent love for Lionel. However, due to her fear of society's judgment and her own sensitive nature, she had never dared to
make her feelings known.
In fact, that was how she had almost hurt Natalie after listening to Yara.
However, slowly and surely, she had changed. While others only saw her growing in her abilities, she knew in her heart that it
was her mentality that had truly matured.
If it had not been for Natalie, who had repaid her cruelty with kindness, Lia would still be feeling sorry for herself. She still would
not have understood that one should live for oneself and not for others.
Natalie was surprised to see Lia sobbing. She thought that she had only said happy things. “Lia, this is a good thing! I just
wanted to remind you to invite us to your wedding when it happens...”
Lia wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
“Of course, I'll invite you! I want you and Mr. Bowers to witness our marriage!”
“We will be honored to be there.”
At that moment, Yandel entered the room and caught sight of Lia and Natalie chatting happily with each other. Jealousy nipped
at him.
“What are you guys talking about?” Yandel asked, wanting to join in the conversation.
“Oh, we're just talking about me witnessing Lia and Lionel's nuptials,” Natalie said to Yandel, then she turned back to Lia and
suggested, “Lia, you still haven't selected your bridesmaids, right? Yandel, Ross, Billy, and the others will be your bridesmaids!”
“Boss, if the boys are going to be part of the wedding party, we should be groomsmen instead!” Yandel protested.
“Don't you think it would be cooler for you guys to be bridesmaids?”
Natalie was amused by the idea of men as bridesmaids. Lia, too, was laughing and nodding in agreement with her.
Yandel stared open-jawed at the two of them in disbelief.
It is true what they say... Women are crazy!
