The Beginning of the Rift

The following day, Natalie changed into flat-heeled shoes and changed into a casual outfit.

Walking with Anthony, who is 185 cm tall, this scene looks a little funny. Therefore, Natalie deliberately waited for Anthony to go upstairs first to avoid this situation.

Natalie was drinking a glass of juice on the first floor. She was about to go upstairs when she saw Joana walking towards him.

Behind Joana, followed by Yuna and some of her close friends, made this group look more dignified than before.

Joana had an indelible sly smile on her face.

"Assistant president Natalie, how's your new job? The president seems to have asked someone to help you. If you have something you can't do, you can ask me any time. I'd be happy to help."

It's very easy to say.

Indeed, when Natalie took over the job of assistant for the president, Joana did not transfer her position at all according to the normal process.

Not only that, when she does her job, Joana's influence still ensnares her everywhere. This made her comrades unwilling to cooperate with her, slowing her progress and creating all kinds of disharmony.

Even so, Natalie treated her calmly.

She knew she was a newcomer. Even though Anthony appointed her, she still needed to convince the public with her own strength.

So she worked really hard.

"Thank you for your kindness. But your way of working is outdated, I have a newer and better one here! Mrs. Joana, you are four years older than me. Of course there is a generation gap between us. I don't need your help." Natalie raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"You!!"

Natalie knew that Joana had no good intentions at all. She just wanted to soften herself up in front of all her comrades.

If Natalie asked her for a piece of advice, it would mean that her work skills weren't as good as Joana's in all aspects. If she went this way, her co-workers would underestimate Natalie even more.

Therefore, Natalie deliberately mentions that Joana is four years her senior, implying that Joana is old.

Sure enough, when Joana heard those words, her face turned ugly as a pig.

But a moment later, Joana regained her composure and shrugged her shoulders. "Ah, looks like today is a fun day! Guys, I will invite all of you to go to karaoke and bars after work. Everyone can play and drink to their heart's content!"

Joana and her group then left. Natalie was still drinking juice, she then put down the glass and slightly pursed her lips.

After taking the elevator, she prepared to enter the president's office.

But suddenly, David rushed out from inside, looking confused, and reached out to stop Natalie. "Miss Natalie wait, don't come in yet!"

She had been with Anthony for almost two months. Seeing David so nervous and confused for the first time, Natalie suddenly remembered Joana's proud eyes.

She knew something must have happened, and it was definitely not a good thing.

She pushed David away and rushed into the president's office.

This spacious and luxurious presidential office was so quiet. In a black suit, Anthony sat at his desk and concentrated on reading the documents.

Everything seems normal. So what made David panic?

Anthony raised his eyes carelessly. "Babe, why do you look pale today? You sure didn't sleep well last night. You better take today's leave and go back to sleep!"

Natalie raised her eyes suspiciously and saw the panic Anthony couldn't hide under his eyes.

When taking a closer look, the door to the lounge room inside was slightly ajar, revealing a pair of tiny legs.

This entire floor is the president director's area.

This floor is divided into three areas, one of which is used for offices and the other two are additional function rooms.

One is a lounge and the other is a gym with a sauna.

This is to make it easier for the president of Gratia to adjust his body after busy work.

Usually, when Anthony worked, both doors were closed.

The door is open, and two tiny feet are clearly hiding behind.

All the secrets were there, which was also the reason why David looked panicked.

Natalie glared at Anthony and turned to the lounge room.

Anthony was moving faster, jumping fast, and his height stopped Natalie.

"Babe, I have a billion-dollar project for you. I want to work with you. Do you think you can afford it?" Anthony said earnestly.

Natalie was taken aback when she heard those words.

One billion?

That's big business.

"Sure! How do you want to do it?" Natalie turned and looked at Anthony blankly.

Anthony coughed, stood up and led her to the large table. He then wrapped his arms around her tiny waist.

"Babe, it all depends on how you like it. I think it's good to have you on top!"

Yes, his eyes look evil.

Natalie understood what business she meant.

"Fuck, your seduction really reached a new level! What a billion, bullshit!"

"Hey, hey, sleeping with me isn't cheap!" He lifted her up forcefully.

"Stop!" Natalie fought desperately.

Two people were busy flirting, and suddenly a child's voice was heard.

"Daddy!"

Suddenly there was silence in the air.

Natalie pushed him away and lowered her head. A small child stood beside him, the child's height was not as high as his desk. He was seen reaching out his dirty little hand and tugging at the hem of Anthony's coat.

"Daddy..."

Anthony's handsome face instantly darkened, and he shouted at the little boy. "I told you, I'm not your father! Where are you from?"

The boy bit his mouth, tears welled up in his eyes, and timidly withdrew his hand.

Natalie's heart was mixed for a moment.

She couldn't react at all. However, seeing the boy frightened by Anthony's roar, she quickly protected him.

"Anthony, can you stop yelling at a child! This child is innocent!"

Anthony was furious. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the little boy. He was so angry that he exploded. "Are you sure he's innocent? It's me who's innocent. Look, even you believe he's my son, don't you? I don't even know who this little bastard is."

Natalie didn't say a word. She just looked at Anthony quietly.

Something broke in her heart.

"As an assistant, I can only remind president Anthony to remain calm. You will be attending a meeting in ten minutes!"

Later, Natalie learns the truth from David.

Apparently this morning, the security guard saw this child left at the company gate, holding a letter in his hand, explaining that he was looking for his father, Anthony Stevano.

This security guard is smart. Rich people like to party and have fun, having illegitimate children is certainly not a new thing.

To maintain his boss's good name, he secretly sent the boy to the president's office and let the president handle it himself.

Before Anthony could speak to the boy, Natalie appeared.

She initially wanted to surprise Anthony about her pregnancy, but now she hesitates.

Hearing the boy's words to Anthony, calling him Daddy, made her heart slightly crack.
