Familiar Gaze

Natalie repeatedly rummaged through her computer. She suspected that she had saved the file on a different hard drive because she was so tired last night. But after looking all over the place, she still couldn't find it.

After waiting for a long time, Yuna's face became ugly. "Natalie, is it true that you finished it yesterday?"

Natalie stood up. "Ma'am, I finished working on it at 12 last night. I can't leave until my work is done."

"If you really did it, show me the file now!"

"I'm sorry, I don't know why, but the file isn't there..." Natalie kept fiddling with her computer and thinking hard about where the problem was.

"If you do it, the file must be on your computer. Do you think I'm a gullible three-year-old?" Yuna gave her a sour face.

"I'm not lying. I really work on it!"

Natalie panicked, and cold sweat already covered her forehead. When she encountered this kind of thing for the first time, she didn't know the solution and she didn't know how to explain it.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind.

"Since your task is not completed, then you must be punished according to company regulations!"

Yuna turned her head, smiled and walked over to the man's figure standing behind her. "Good morning President Anthony. Did you come for an inspection?"

Anthony Stevano has many of the best resources. In the three years, Yuna has worked, she has never seen the president of her company come down to her department to carry out inspections.

Today Anthony came suddenly, and this phenomenon is like the sun coming out of the West.

In an instant, many female employees in the design department came to see their leader figure, and their hearts danced when they saw Anthony's handsome appearance.

For a moment, gazes of awe filled the entire room.

Hearing Anthony's words earlier, Natalie did not expect that Anthony did not ask for an explanation from her first. As soon as he opened his mouth, Anthony immediately condemned her. Naturally, he was convinced that Natalie was at fault.

"President, it seems your words were not quite right. As a leader of us, your decision to sentence me is a hasty decision if you don't check the truth first. If this problem also appears in important company data, then the company will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, what you just said I can say is a rash and irresponsible act."

Anthony's handsome face instantly became very dark.

For the first time, he was criticized by an employee!

Everyone knows what Anthony Stefano is like. At Gratia, his words were absolute and no one had ever dared to refute them.

Only two days of work, and this girl has dared to fight back!!

Yuna's face was already pale and her heart was pounding. It seemed that Natalie was a complete newbie in the world of work. Newborn cows are not afraid of tigers and have subconsciously dug their own graves.

To please Anthony, she quickly blames Natalie. "Natalie, watch yourself! Now admit your mistakes to the president."

Natalie raised her eyes to look at Anthony.

The other party had sharp and cold eyes and anger on his face.

"Haha, I'm not wrong. If the employees don't have the freedom of speech in a big company, the company won't have a future." Natalie spoke fearlessly.

Yuna's face turned pale white; this girl's courage was too much.

"Mr President, this girl is a newcomer. I don't know if she is alive or dead. From now on, I will educate her properly..."

Anthony ignored Yuna's words, he just focused on looking at Natalie.

"Very good!! You now come to my office, I will see how you will explain your situation. I want everyone to know that I gave you the opportunity to explain everything to my face!"

After Anthony turned around, everyone jumped and cheered one after another.

"Natalie, you are either brave or stupid! Even the president of our company dares to challenge you. You really are crazy! Don't you know the reputation of president Anthony? he will fire you."

"Natalie, don't you realize it's hard to get into Gratia? Do you think this company belongs to your family? You are too stubborn! It seems our department was wrong to accept you."

Even Yuna, the director of the design department, could only die on the spot. She sighed helplessly. The new employee under her supervision has snapped at her company president! It's over!

"Don't worry. I can handle my own business! I will bear the consequences with grace if my words are wrong!"

Natalie ignored the ridicule from her comrades and quietly packed her things and left.

Before entering the president's office, she met Joana. Joana gave her a complicated look and shook her head gently.

The president's office is very spacious, majestic, and luxurious.

With his back to her, Anthony sat on the black boss chair and was answering the phone.

Natalie stood still, waiting.

After a long time, Anthony finally hung up.

The chair turned over, and a sharp eye stared at her.

He hands and presses his computer keyboard. Glass office doors close automatically and heavy, luxurious curtains to cover the windows.

Anthony got up and walked towards her.

Anthony was standing tall, held high, but none of that could hide her flustered self.

He remembered that last night, this girl's little face smiled sweetly at others, but at this moment, that face was indifferent to him.

It was like a thorn in his heart, which made him very angry.

"Do you know? The last person who dared to oppose me has already been fired three years ago!" Anthony stared at her intently.

Natalie answered unabashedly. "Well, I think the president needs more people who dare to tell the truth. Because sometimes our eyes have deceived us unconsciously."

"You mean I'm arbitrary in my decisions?"

"Yes!"

Anthony looked into her face and said in a demanding voice. "Is that true? Then I will give you a chance to explain the so-called truth. If you can't, then you will receive my punishment!"

"I have finished my work last night. You can check my computer together with the IT department." Natalie tried to express her thoughts clearly.

"Go on, I heard..." Anthony's handsome eyes looked serious.

"Therefore, I… Ah, Mr President, what are you doing?" As Natalie tried to explain, Anthony's figure drew closer to her and cornered her against the wall.

That look in those eyes… Natalie recognized that look very well.
