One Night Stand With That Beggar

In the Olsen Group, Culver had been paying attention to his phone since the flowers were sent out.

He was waiting for Naomi’s reaction.

Finally, his cell phone rang after an hour.

He picked up the call immediately, but fearing he might sound anxious, he only spoke after a few seconds.

“What’s the matter? She was very touched, wasn’t she?”

There was a hint of smug self-satisfaction in his voice. No girl would not be moved by such an extravagant gift.

To his dismay, the representative of the men who had delivered the flowers was very hesitant to tell him the truth.

“I’m sorry, sir. We were driven out.”

“What? Did you say something wrong to her?”

“No, we didn’t dare to ruin your plan.”

“What did you say then?”

There shouldn’t be a problem with the flowers. After all, she had already accepted the flowers from Nelson.

“I remembered something. Miss George had asked about the sender of the flowers. She thought that they were from Mr. Luther. I was afraid that she would give credit to the wrong person, hence I told her that the gift was from you. Then, she…”

The voice on the other end was getting softer and softer, but the last sentence was clearly relayed into Culver’s ears. After that, those words lingered in Culver’s mind.

She had accepted the flowers from Nelson.

On the contrary, she had refused his flowers.

He couldn’t help thinking that to her, he was not as important as Nelson..

“Sir-”

The man who had sent the flowers still wanted to say something, but he heard a loud bang on the other side. It seemed that Culver had smashed his phone to the ground.

He was so frightened that he hung up on the call and put the phone back into his pocket. He thought that he could stop Culver’s wrath from spreading to his side by doing so.

Aaron, on the other hand, was in trouble.

He happened to come in from the outside when Culver was smashing the phone. At the moment, he was unsure whether he should leave or not.

As he was trembling in fear, Culver hit the table with his fist all of a sudden.

“I want Nelson to disappear from Greene City in an hour!”

Aaron was stunned, “Two days ago, you said that you would wait for him to be discharged, though.”

“Do you still need me to repeat my orders?”

Aaron was rendered speechless.

He regretted his words at once.

“Okay, I’ll do it right away!”

…

In the hospital, Nelson was holding the medicine prescribed by the doctor in his hand.

“Thank you, doctor.”

The doctor hesitated and said, “Even if you get discharged from the hospital, you have to take your medicine on time. Don’t take your health as a joke.”

Nelson replied, “Yes, I’ll take the medicine on time and take care of my health.”

The doctor laughed, “Call me if you need anything. I’m going to work now.”

Just as he reached the door, someone else pushed it open from the outside.

A group of men in black came in aggressively. The doctor was astounded, and he was worried that they were here to make trouble.

He looked inquiringly at Nelson. Nelson shook his head and said, “You can head back to work!”

After the doctor left, Nelson looked back at the unwelcome visitors.

“Was it Mr. Olsen who sent you here?”

The leader among them, Aaron, was surprised by his shrewdness for a moment before he nodded.

“Since you’re aware of that, please cooperate with us.”

Nelson shook his head, “I’m afraid that’s impossible.”

“Mr. Luther, we mean no harm to you, but I hope you can understand where we’re coming from.”

“I can’t.”

Although Nelson looked terrified, he was quite determined.

Aaron had no choice but to take Culver away by force.

“Then, we’ll have to do it the hard way.”

“Take him away!” After that, several men behind him had slowly stepped forward.

“Wait a minute!”

Nelson sighed and said, “I need to go to the washroom first.”

Aaron furrowed his brows and hesitated.

“Look at my body. Where can I run to in this state? You don’t want anything to happen along the way later, do you?”

Aaron nodded, “Fine! Hurry up, we’ll wait for you at the door!”

Then, he gave the men around him looks, hinting at them to be more vigilant. They were on the seventh floor of the hospital. It was so high that Nelson would not be able to escape by jumping off the building, thus all they had to do was to guard the door.

15 minutes had passed, but Nelson still showed no signs of coming out from the washroom.

Aaron knocked on the washroom’s door, “Are you done?”

There was no reply at all.

His heart skipped a beat, and he realized that something was amiss. They knocked down the door and saw a wide-open window. Then, they took a closer look at the outside and found that there was a palisade outside.

Nelson must have entered the room next door through the window. Coincidentally, there was a stairwell right there.

“D*mn it!”

“Hurry up and chase after him!”

…

Meanwhile, Naomi’s company was welcomed with good news.

It was a great surprise to them that Sharon had won first place in the competition.

Originally, they had thought that it would be good enough if she could win any of the awards. They didn’t care about which prize she would get as the primary purpose was for their company to gain more traction.

Unexpectedly, she had emerged as the champion.

Everyone was rejoicing at the news, but Emma felt uneasy.

“The winner of this competition will be given the responsibility of designing an urban construction project in Greene City. I think we are in need of more recruits!”

“Then, let’s recruit more staff. We might have won the first round, but there are more challenges that await us. We have to continue working hard. He who laughs last, laughs best.”

“Alright!”

The team’s morale was high, and they took advantage of that to work speedily.

On the same day, they finished preparing a recruitment notice and spread the news of the recruitment.

The next day, a lot of people came for the interview. However, it was really difficult for a small company like theirs to attract actual professionals.

Many of them were either newbies who didn’t have any work experience or dreamers with impractical expectations. Those conditions might have been acceptable in the past, but they were short of time at the moment. They needed somebody who could instantly get to work and perform their duties ably.

With that aim in mind, the bar was set high for the recruitment.

They were busy interviewing the interviewees throughout the day. Try as they might, they couldn’t find any satisfactory recruits.

It was not until the time to get off work arrived that a man came in.

Naomi heard his footsteps, but she was too weary to raise her head.

She said tonelessly, “Have a seat. Tell us about your work experience.”

The man answered, “I’ve been the general manager in a company of a similar industry. I have more than three years’ work experience. I’ve also done a lot of similar projects, I-”

His voice was familiar to Naomi.

Naomi suddenly raised her head. It was Nelson who was standing in front of her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Why are you here?”

She interrupted Nelson’s self-introduction.

Nevertheless, he ignored her question and continued to tell her about his work experience.

At the end, he introduced himself, “My name is Nelson Luther.”

Naomi rejected him firmly, “We won’t hire you.”

He said calmly with a smile, “As expected. However, you might change your mind after a minute.”

“I don’t want to give you a minute.”

Emma stood up and said, “Miss George, why don’t we just listen to him on how he can change our minds?”

The main reason she had spoken up for Nelson was that she was fed up with the arduous yet unfruitful interviewing session.

There wasn’t much time left for them to waste. Moreover, her impression of Nelson wasn’t that bad either.

Naomi frowned and said, “Go ahead.”

Nelson stood up and looked at Naomi. “Your company is in urgent need of professional talents now. You have to start the project in your hand right away, or you won’t finish it on time. You can be rest assured that once you recruit me, your project will be completed promptly, or even ahead of schedule.”

“What a boastful man!”

Naomi gritted her teeth, “On what basis are you saying that you can handle it?”
