Seeing Natalia coming out, Santiago said hurriedly:
-Wait!
Natalia looked back indifferently.
-Do you have anything else to say, Dr. Santiago?
Santiago felt uncomfortable seeing her cold expression. If Natalia really bothered him and tried to cling to him, he would let her resign, and he would feel better.
-What I said this morning won’t be taken back. We are a regular company. Compensation is in accordance with state regulations. I will also say hello to other psychiatric hospitals. If you want to go there, go there. It all depends on your personal wishes.
After Santiago finished speaking, he went back to looking at his computer.
Natalia frowned for a moment and her expression turned serious as she left Santiago’s office.
This was different than she imagined. Santiago didn’t even want to keep her, he even gave her additional compensation.
“Wasn’t it effective that he gave in? But he used to be very helpful!”
Natalia was puzzled, but he had already said those words and she had to write the resignation letter.
She wrote the resignation letter calmly, and Santiago signed it very quickly.
Natalia watched him sign it, and he looked like he couldn’t wait and was relieved.
She was getting more and more frustrated and had a lot of resentment in her heart.
“Who was Ariana to make Santiago do this?”
After Santiago signed and handed her the waiver materials, Natalia quickly changed her expression.
-I have work to deliver to my colleagues, maybe in two days?
-It’s not necessary! -Santiago interrupted her directly, “You work here for a short time. I haven’t given you anything, so you don’t need to.
If Natalia stayed at the company for two more days, how would she explain to Ariana?
Natalia felt a bit of annoyance in her heart when she heard his words and could hardly breathe.
After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said:
-It’s okay.
His smile was stiff.
When she turned around and was about to leave, something occurred to Santiago and he asked:
-What kind of tea did you give me last night?
He slept so soundly last night that he didn’t even have consciousness. He was not usually a light sleeper, but he did not sleep like that. He even felt that if there was thunder and rain, he was likely to notice it.
When Santiago woke up in the morning, he also paid special attention. There was nothing unusual about his body, his clothes were fine and nothing had changed.
Natalia listened to the question and squeezed her fingers:
-No, it’s nothing, just ordinary ginseng tea.
-What brand is it? I’ll buy some and try it to see if it has the same effect as last night.
Santiago looked at her suspiciously.
Natalia shivered, a little nervous.
Santiago should have sensed something was wrong and began to doubt her.
She had an idea in an instant, and her eyes filled with anger.
-Santiago, what do you mean? Do you suspect I did something in the tea?
Natalia decided to strike first and let Santiago forget her suspicion.
Santiago frowned after hearing this, especially seeing the anger in her face.
Natalia pinched herself. Besides, she was scared, so tears suddenly welled up, making her look angrier.
-Santiago, why have you become like this? I said I wouldn’t bother you, except when I can’t help it. I didn’t have any close contact with you, why do you still suspect me?
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears and looked at him with red eyes.
-I drank the tea last night too. If there was a problem, why didn’t anything happen to me? You just don’t believe me.
When she finished, she looked at him with disappointment, turned her head and walked out of the office.
This action caused Santiago to dispel his doubts and he rubbed his temples in annoyance.
He doubted how the former emperor lived every day. The two women gave him a headache. The emperor had so many concubines in the palaces, it was no wonder that many emperors died so early.
But, at last, he solved this big problem.
Natalia left Santiago’s office, quickly packed her things and left.
As soon as she left the building, she breathed a sigh of relief. She only discovered that her back was sweaty.
She almost revealed herself in front of Santiago. Fortunately, he didn’t keep asking and didn’t find any abnormality, thanks to her quick reaction.
Natalia breathed a sigh of relief, looked towards the office and gritted her teeth.
Although she couldn’t stay by Santiago’s side, as long as he was still in Sogen City, he would be found soon.
She didn’t think so. The Santiago she could get in the beginning would eventually be taken away by Ariana.
At that moment, all of Santiago’s love was hers.
Thinking of that scene, Natalia felt an infinite longing in her heart and looked at the screen of her cell phone.
When she used Santiago’s cell phone last night, she had written Ariana’s number.
According to Santiago’s performance today, Ariana did not tell him about the photo.
Natalia knew his thinking, scoffed and called Ariana directly.
Ariana had just finished class and received a call from an unknown number, the first reaction was to hang up, but just as she was about to do so, she answered the call.
According to the time, Santiago should have arrived at the company. At this point, he should have solved Natalia’s problem.
If there was no accident, that call was most likely from Natalia.
Indeed, Natalia’s voice rang.
-Miss Ariana, do you have time? Let’s meet.
As soon as the voice came out, Ariana’s eyes turned cold.
-With what identity are you asking me to meet you? First love or lover?
Natalia heard this and gritted her teeth. Ariana’s arrogant tone made her feel that she was a shameful existence.
-Miss Ariana, pay attention to what you say. I hear you’re a teacher. Do you usually teach students like this?
Ariana scoffed.
-I’m just telling the truth. You know very well what you did. Why are you pretending right now? Santiago can’t hear you.
Natalia choked for a moment. Her impression of Ariana this morning was of a gentle, beautiful fairy. But she hadn’t expected his words to be like a knife pricking her heart. She felt indignant.
-We’ll see each other or we won’t. If you don’t see me, don’t regret it!
Hearing his threat, Ariana looked at the time, it was still well before her afternoon class and she would be out to lunch at noon.
-All right, let’s make an appointment at the restaurant at the entrance of my school.
She would take a break after lunch, and follow her class.
After Ariana finished talking, she reported directly the address and then said:
-Come here in 30 minutes. You don’t have any work to do now, but I have to work and time is limited.
After finishing, she hung up the phone.
Natalia almost had a heart attack at his words.
She just wanted to push Ariana, and even said threatening words. But Ariana was still in no hurry, as if Natalia was desperate to see her.
Besides, Ariana made fun of her for her resignation.
But Natalia could not deny it. In the end she could only take a cab with an ugly expression and a somber look on her face.
Santiago’s company was not close to the school and it was not easy to park within walking distance of the school. When Natalia arrived at the place Ariana said, she was already sweaty because it was too hot and her makeup was a bit messy.
On the other hand, Ariana was sitting comfortably in the air-conditioned restaurant. Her facial features were outstanding and she looked gentle and beautiful.
While they were together, you could tell the winner and loser apart.
The more Natalia looked at her, the angrier she became. She turned to her angrily, about to speak.
Ariana raised her eyes to look at her, Ariana’s cold stare made all of Natalia’s scolding unable to come out.
-Sit down, I’ve already ordered what I want to eat. Order what you want to eat yourself.
Natalia looked at the food in front of Ariana and stroked her chest before feeling relieved.
She asked Ariana to come here to show off in front of her, but Ariana seemed to be here to eat and didn’t take her seriously.
Remembering the information she had found, Natalia suddenly scoffed, sat up slowly and spoke with a strange tone.
-Ariana, you are rude. Indeed, you are a girl that no one wanted since childhood. You ask me to come to the restaurant, but you eat first.
