The saleslady nodded respectfully, and then she walked to the back room to get the dress.Waiting for her dress to arrive, Natalie was involved in a conversation with the salesladies. Their conversation was filled with fun and laughter, which showed that Natalie was quite close to them. Seeing Natalie's friendly attitude, it seemed like she was not the typical arrogant rich girl.Meanwhile, Gabriel just stood there without getting involved in the ladies' conversation.Suddenly, a saleslady who was about to get Natalie's dress returned with a panicked face. Her face turned pale with fear, and her hands were trembling.Natalie's gaze turned to her with an excited smile, but a few seconds later the smile faded, seeing her face covered in panic."What's wrong? And where is my dress?" Natalie asked while staring at the saleslady's empty hands.The saleslady did not answer Natalie's question directly; instead, she spoke to her co-worker."Where is the new girl? She's nowhere to be found, and

The saleslady, who overheard the conversation between the doctor and nurse, looked sad. If her mother were to be discharged from this hospital, her mom's chances of survival would be even slimmer. Her mother was all she had in this world, so she was willing to steal Natalie's dress to get money for her mother's treatment. She was willing to do anything to keep her mother by her side.Seeing the saleslady's pale face, Natalie approached her and put her arm around her. She rubbed her shoulders as she reassured her. "Don't worry, Gabriel will help you. Your mother will remain in this hospital and will be fine," she assured her.The saleslady nodded as tears welled in her eyes. They stepped into the room and were met with a scornful look from the doctor.The doctor looked at Gabriel and Natalie in turn. His gaze shifted to the saleslady as he spoke in a firm tone. "Since you can't pay the hospital bills, we'll have to discharge your mother now!"The saleslady shook her head and cupped her

“Please, don’t fire me, director! I can explain this. It’s not what you think.” The doctor tried to persuade the hospital director to listen to his explanation.The director firmly stated, “The more you spout nonsense, the more I’ll make you lose your job everywhere. I’ll make every hospital close down for you!”The doctor trembled in disbelief. Words slipped out of his mouth in a weak voice. “No, director. I’ll stop defending myself. Fine, I’ll accept this dismissal.” It would be better for him to lose his job at this hospital than to lose all opportunities in the entire hospital.The director of The Haven Hospital possessed power and connections that could literally cost the doctor his livelihood or even his title as a doctor.The director simply nodded, even though the doctor couldn’t see his gesture directly. Then he immediately disconnected the call.“Director! Director!” he exclaimed frantically, looking at his phone screen, which indicated the call had ended.He sighed in frust

Mr. Rumwhite had just finished typing a command message to his servant when a call suddenly popped up on his phone screen. It was none other than the general manager of The Rumwhite Group.Mr. Rumwhite could sense something bad coming with the call. He was cautious not to be surprised by the news the general manager was about to deliver as he accepted the call."Good afternoon, Mr. Rumwhite. I have something to tell you." The general manager's voice sounded authoritative, but he trembled slightly, indicating the weight of the news he was carrying.Mr. Rumwhite took a breath, then responded, "You can tell.""Sir, The Rumwhite Group is currently facing a crisis because several of our business partners have decided to terminate their partnerships due to various factors, one of which is performance that has not met their expectations. This has caused our company significant losses and required a capital injection to survive. The company's situation is getting worse by the day," explained

Mr. Rumwhite grinned at his daughter's words. "Why should I kid you? I'm deadly serious, Natalie. Not only are we meeting someone who will be our business partner, but he will also be your future husband," he asserted.A mixture of surprise and disbelief crossed Natalie's face. "Oh, so that's why you insisted I join you for dinner?" She spoke bitterly."Yes, of course! Listen to me, Natalie. The fate of our company is in this man's hands, and he's not some old, ugly man. He's a handsome young man, and you'll be the luckiest woman to marry him. So don't even try to refuse. It's not even a joke." Mr. Rumwhite glared at his daughter. His gaze was full of warning, as if leaving no room for her to protest.Natalie leaned back with an annoyed expression. Instead of complaining, she was thinking of ways to escape this arranged marriage. Because complaining wouldn't persuade her father to change his mind. Mr. Rumwhite was a stubborn person, so Natalie had to find a clever way to prevent her m
