One Night Stand With That Beggar

After Monique left, Nelson called Richard to the office again.

“When did she arrive? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Richard shook his head and explained, “I only just found out too! However, when she was talking to you inside, I investigated her past whereabouts. It turns out that she came to Rosaville City on the second day of your injury, and she has been hiding herself well…”

Nelson tapped his fingers on the table, “That means she might have full knowledge of what I’ve been doing these past few days?”

There was a lingering fear on Richard’s face as he said, “It’s quite possible!”

Naomi’s face was the first thing that came to Richard’s mind and he quickly added, “As for Miss George…”

Nelson had already stood up. As soon as he stepped out, he retreated again.

As soon as he stepped out, he retreated again, “It’s fine. She’ll be alright!”

He could not go at this moment. Although he kept telling himself that he was just acting as Naomi’s boyfriend, he had no idea why whenever he thought of the fact that Monique had found out about them, he would grow worried.

Richard also came to his senses and said, “Miss Monique wants us to complete the task. As long as we complete the task, she has no reason to blame us. That’s right, it’ll be fine!”

Nelson sat there, staring blankly ahead for a long time

Then, he spoke again, “Call them all for a meeting!”

…

At the same time, Naomi was busy in the office. She had not been to the company for several days, and there were many things for her to deal with.

At noon, all her colleagues went out for lunch.

One of her colleagues beckoned her, “Let’s go! I know a new restaurant nearby and the food is quite good. Let’s have a try!”

Not even raising her head, Naomi rejected kindly, “It’s fine, I won’t be going. Just bring me something to eat when you come back!”

Her colleague said helplessly, “Missy, why are you working so hard? Even if you risk your life, you’ll never be able to finish all your work. Why do you want to work overtime in the afternoon?”

Naomi decisively shook her head and said, “It’s fine.”

What if Nelson asked her out for lunch?

Her colleague saw the smile on her face, and covered her mouth with a sour expression.

“Oh no! Your smiling face blinds me! It’s fine, I’ll bring you something you’ll like!”

“Thank you!”

After Naomi’s colleague left, she calmed down and came up with a plan.

After she finished her plan, she took a short break because she was a little thirsty. So, she got up and went to pour a glass of water.

When she came back with a glass of water, she saw a lunch box on her desk.

Naomi subconsciously turned and looked around. There was no one else!

She thought to herself, “Did that girl come back and go out again?”

Anyhow, she was hungry, therefore she walked over without hesitation and opened the lunch box.

The next second, her hand shook and the lunch box in her hand fell to the ground.

There was a dead rat in the lunch box, but it was quite small. If she was an ordinary girl, she would have been scared to tears.

However, Naomi did not cry but was just extremely shocked.

She was not afraid of rats. It was just that she had not expected such a thing at all!

She took a deep breath, looked around carefully and found that nothing else was amiss. She took out the broom, cleaned up the lunch box, and sat down at her desk again.

Who on earth would play such a prank?

At the same time, in front of the window, Monique was holding a telescope and looking at Naomi from the building opposite her company. She was a little disappointed when she did not see Naomi being frightened to tears.

“I can’t believe that you’re so tough! This is getting more and more interesting!”

…

After being frightened by the horrible lunch box, Naomi no longer had an appetite and did not eat the lunch box that had been bought back by her colleague.

When she was done with her work, she went downstairs to look at the surveillance cameras. However, she was told that the surveillance cameras of the building she was in had been broken at noon!

Everything was a little strange. What kind of person was the perpetrator to be able to pull off such a stunt?

The security guard asked her what had happened, but after giving it some thought, Naomi said nothing about it.

From the perspective of the company, no one else had encountered any trouble except her. If it was just a prank, she did not want it to affect the company.

As a member of the Granger family, that was a primary awareness.

After a busy day, it was finally time to get off work. Naomi received a call from Nelson as soon as she went downstairs.

Her depressed mood, which had gone on for the whole day, disappeared in an instant.

She smiled, “Hello?”

Nelson kept silent for a while and then said, “How was your day? You haven’t been to work for a few days. Did everything go well today?”

“It did!” Naomi said.

However, after a pause, she could not help but joke, “There was a prank today. Someone sent me a dead rat!”

Nelson’s fingers paused as he held his phone. Then, he replied, “A dead rat?”

“Yeah! I thought that the lunch box was bought by my colleague but I did not expect that there would be a dead rat inside. Fortunately, I was brave. Otherwise, I would have really been scared to death!”

“Are you alright, then?” Nelson asked in a panic.

“I’m fine!” Naomi shook her head. “Don’t be silly. If something actually happened, do you think I would be able to talk to you right now?”

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re fine. I’ve helped you to book a car. You should go home first. You haven’t been home for days. I’m sure Mr. Granger must be worried!”

Although Naomi was a bit disappointed, what Nelson said was true.

Therefore, she nodded and said, “Okay! Then, I’ll go home first. Your body has just recovered, so you should be careful! Don’t work until too late!”

After Nelson hung up the phone, his face turned pale.

He immediately called Monique and asked, “Miss Monique, what is the meaning of this?”

Monique’s casual voice came from the other side, “What’s wrong, Nelson?”

“You were the one who sent the dead rat to Naomi, weren’t you?”

Monique suddenly giggled. She said, “That’s what you’re referring to? Yeah, I gave her a present for our first meeting! What do you think?”

“I don’t understand why you’re doing this!” Nelson replied with a frown on his face. “I’m the one helping you pull off this plan. We have to gain the trust of the Granger family in order to complete the task as soon as possible. What’s the point of you doing all this?”

“You’re right!” Monique nodded. “However, I heard that you and Naomi are childhood sweethearts? If you want to complete my mission, why didn’t you look for someone else? Why must you be with her? Hmm? Am I not comparable to her?”

Nelson’s expression shifted slightly as he said, “Miss Monique, please watch your words. I’ve always treated you as my elder and respected you! As for why I targeted Naomi, I’ve already told you before. The people from the Granger family are all on high guard. I am only able to get close to Naomi because of our past relationship!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Yes!” Monique nodded. “That’s what you said! I must have remembered it wrongly!”

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Miss Monique, can you not…”

“What? You’re questioning me for such a simple matter?” Monique interrupted him. “Didn’t you just say that you respect me and treat me as an elder?”
