Santiago was rarely able to speculate about a girl’s mind, but that didn’t mean he was stupid and couldn’t understand what those words meant.
What’s more, the words Natalia had just uttered were so obvious that anyone with a little intelligence would be able to understand them.
Hearing his tone of voice, Natalia shuddered.
“Damn, just now Santiago had asked me to call him Doctor Santiago, and I was indignant at the thought that his girlfriend had said something to him and I haven’t disguised my emotions well.”
Natalia hurried to hide her emotions and cocked her head to one side.
-Doctor Santiago, what’s wrong?
Santiago looked at her and asked:
-Were you trying to make trouble with the words you just said?
Natalia’s heart clenched and she pursed her lips, with a somewhat dejected expression, and gave Santiago a sensual look as she laughed coldly.
-Santiago, so you think that way about me. Do you think I’m sowing discord? I was just worried about you. Didn’t you look in the mirror when you came here? Do you know how bad you look now?
Natalia took out the mirror she was carrying and handed it to him.
-I told you that when I came here I just wanted to find a job without worrying. I know you have a girlfriend and I can’t afford to be with you anymore, but I didn’t expect you to suspect that I have other intentions with you.
Santiago looked at his ears in the mirror, and his brow furrowed.
Indeed, his face did not look good, and he looked very haggard.
Natalia looked at him with tears in her eyes.
-I have been working for you for many days and I have never revealed our previous relationship to anyone, if I really had intentions, I would have told everyone. But I didn’t, and I didn’t bother your girlfriend, can’t we even be friends, can’t I even care about you?
As Santiago listened to her words, irritation grew inexplicably in his heart.
Natalia looked down at her frown and wiped away her tears.
-Since you are not comfortable, I will leave now. I’ll go apply for my resignation, sign it later please.
Natalia’s eyes were a little cold as she looked at the door, she counted in her heart as she walked, and as she was about to reach the door, she heard Santiago’s voice from behind her.
-Wait!
Her eyes lit up with joy, then she hid her emotions and looked at Snatagia without any expression.
-Is there anything else?
Santiago rubbed his temples, and said in a hoarse voice:
-No need to leave, I misunderstood you. I haven’t rested well lately, and I’ve been a bit confused during this time. Go back to work.
Natalia pursed her lips and let out a cold laugh.
-Can you make up for your suspicions about me by saying you haven’t rested well? Sorry, I don’t want to work for someone who is suspicious all the time.
With these words, Natalia completely dispelled Santiago’s suspicions. If she really thought about him, she would not have insisted on leaving.
The feeling of guilt pierced Santiago’s heart and he got up from his chair, with a regretful face.
-This matter is my fault, I will not doubt you in the future, so for the sake of our companions, forgive me this time. I am sorry.
Santiago lowered his posture a little, and Natalia stayed in her seat, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking, and then nodded with a cold expression.
-All right.
After saying this, she left the office.
Only when she was gone did Santiago let out a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.
Natalia didn’t seem to have any other intentions. After Santiago relaxed, he sent a message to Ariana, saying that when he was free, he would bring her to the office.
On the other side, Natalia came out and hid in the sink before patting her chest to take a deep breath.
She had almost forgotten that they were psychologists and that she couldn’t treat him with the same tricks she used with normal people. Normal tactics probably wouldn’t work with Santiago.
He was not a straight man, and he had almost no intentions with another woman, so it was hard for him to fall for it. It seemed that she needed special tricks, and the best thing to do was to subtly make Santiago feel good about her again.
As long as there was a good feeling as a base of support, she could get Santiago, and avoid such an embarrassing situation today.
Natalia looked at herself in the mirror as she thought of a strategy, and smiled.
She was all too familiar with Santiago. She would definitely be able to get his heart, that girlfriend of his would definitely not be her rival.
***
Two days later, Ruben rushed into Umberto’s office, he was so anxious that he forgot to even knock on the door.
Umberto took a look at the bag of files in his hand and said:
-The results are in.
-Yes.
Ruben hurried to hand him the file bag and then held his breath as he waited by his side.
He had come as soon as he got the results, so he still didn’t know what was inside, and he was very curious.
Umberto’s handsome face was very serious as he solemnly opened the bag and looked at the documents.
There were several data analyses in it, and he turned directly to the last page, where it was written: No blood relation.
When he read these words, a cold smile appeared on Umberto’s face. He had guessed it.
Jaime was not really the son of the Seco family.
Ruben could not see the information, but when he saw Umberto’s smile, he understood the result.
-I really didn’t expect that the person Mr. Seco had raised for more than twenty years was not his own grandson, if this news spreads, I’m afraid he will receive a big blow.
Umberto returned this information to the file bag correctly, and then put it in his desk drawer.
When Ruben saw this move, he made a puzzled face.
-Sir, aren’t you going to give this information to Mr. Seco?
Jaime had repeatedly targeted the Santangel Group before, he was as disgusting as a cockroach that could not be beaten to death. All they had to do was hand over this information and they would be able to crush this man instantly, it was a simple and quick solution, so how could he not use it.
Umberto looked at him.
-It’s not the time yet.
Although Ruben was puzzled, he decided to trust Mr. Umberto and retreated quietly.
Umberto looked at the drawer where the bag of files was stored and smiled coldly.
Now Mr. Seco still felt affection for Jaime, after all, he had raised him for more than twenty years. Even if he was a small cat or a puppy, he could still treat him like a relative after so many years, let alone a living human being.
If the result was sent at this time, even if Mr. Seco did not give the Seco Group to Jaime, he would still give Jaime a lot of resources because of his feelings.
Pedro was an example, he was now doing very well in the company thanks to the old man’s care.
What worried Umberto the most was still that Mr. Seco was now older and paid more attention to feelings. After the passing of his only son, he used Jaime as an emotional support, pretending not to know even though he was sure he was not his own grandson.
That was the worst possible outcome.
So there was one more thing Umberto needed to do.
Find out if Jaime knew this.
Did the old man’s son have a child? If so, where was the child now? How did Jaime find the Seco family and how did he impersonate the real son?
All of this needed to be clearly understood so that it would be easier to take action.
After having the identification certificate, Umberto called the old man and informed him of the matter.
When Mr. Sergio heard the result, he kept silent for a long time. He was now the same age as Mr. Seco, and they were both in the same position and more or less the same state of mind, so he was able to put himself in Mr. Seco’s place more than Umberto.
Thinking about Mr. Seco’s situation, he sighed.
-He is a poor man, he lost his wife in his early years and his son in his middle age, now Jaime is all his emotional support, if he knew this news, he would definitely be unable to bear it. Who knows what would happen.
Umberto froze for a moment and nodded.
-Grandfather, don’t worry, I don’t plan to tell him right now. He wanted to clear things up completely first, and it would be better to find the true heir of the Seco family before kicking Jaime out completely.
Jaime had a grudge against him and it would be a problem sooner or later, so it would be best to settle it once and for all.
He had Jaime under control now, but Mr. Seco was the problem.
Mr. Sergio was satisfied with Umberto’s words and nodded.
-Do that. Jaime’s nature will sooner or later cool Alfredo’s heart, when the timing is almost perfect you can spread this news and by then Alfredo will also be completely disappointed with him, and without you doing anything, he will personally kick Jaime out of the house.
