A Cue For Happiness Chapter 5

Hold Herself Back

Natalie changed into a white coat and wore a pair of medical rubber gloves, unperturbed by thequestions.“I’m Natalie Nichols, the specially-appointed coroner, and I’m here to report for duty.” Withthat, she immediately picked up a foul-smelling piece of remains and sized it up without frowning at it.“Unfortunately for you, I do have the authority to tell you what to do. If you don’t like it, hold it in.”Effieand Brandon were aware that the headquarters had sent an important person, but they never guessedthat the important person would be the woman in her twenties in front of them.They just stared atNatalie incredulously, frozen in place.Seeing that the two stopped working, Natalie narrowed her eyes.“Why are you staring at me? Is there a clue to solving the case written on my face?”Although the hyper-realistic mask on Natalie’s face greatly reduced her charisma, her sharp eyes remained intimidating.Subconsciously, the other two did not dare to raise any objections when they felt the calm aura emittedby her.Within a split second, Effie and Brandon did not get distracted anymore and assisted Natalie inmarking the corpses as they took pictures.After taking the pictures, they loaded the body bags into thecar and followed the vehicle back to the police station.Then, Natalie got out of the car when the carstopped in front of the police station.She was about to go into the autopsy room with the body bagwhen she was halted in her tracks by a stranger.“Ms. Nichols, my employer has been waiting for youfor quite some time. Could you please step over to that Bentley for a few words?”Natalie glanced at theBentley not far away and sneered. “Shouldn’t you introduce yourself before you offer an invitation topeople?”Upon hearing that, Billy Morin was stunned. As Samuel’s subordinate, he had dealt with manykinds of people before, but he had never met an outright discourteous woman like this one.“Ms.Nichols, my superior is the CEO of Centurion Corporation, Samuel Bowers, and he would like to have afew words with you.”Samuel Bowers?Even though Natalie had not worked in Dellmoor for five years,she had heard about Samuel Bowers.The Bowers family was prominent in Dellmoor and evenChanaea, involved in various industries, including real estate, finance, development of chips, sports,entertainment, and other industries.The Bowers family may seem low profile, but their involvement invarious industries was like the roots of a tree that had long since seeped and spread to all walks of life

of Chanaea.I’ve never crossed paths with Samuel. Why is he suddenly approaching me?She could notfigure out the reason, so she decided not to trouble herself by overthinking. “Pass a message to yourboss that I’m busy with an autopsy. I don’t have time to meet him.”Billy and the two people watching,Brandon and Effie, were stunned upon hearing what she said.“What? The person who invited you isSamuel Bowers?”“Boss, it’s fine if you ignore others looking for you, but how can you ignoreSamuel?”Natalie glanced at the two followers behind her as she frowned. “Are those three bags ofcorpses fully examined? Finish the examination first before you talk about meeting with Samuel!”Herface was plain under the sunlight, but her eyes exuded an assertive aura.Brandon and Effie fullycomprehended that the autopsy work at that moment was the most urgent matter, so they did not dareto say anything and followed Natalie upstairs to the autopsy room.Knowing that he had failed his task,Billy went back to the Bentley’s driver seat with a sullen face after looking at Natalie’s determinedback.Inside the Bentley, Samuel’s gaze lifted from the documents in his hands to Billy and asked, “Billy,where’s that woman?”“I’ve told Natalie that you’ve invited her over for a conversation, but she refusedthe invitation without any hesitation…” Billy replied without confidence as his voice trailed off.Withoutany hesitation? I’m doing it out of sincerity for Sophia, yet I didn’t even get to see her face.“Did shemention her reason for rejecting my invitation?”“She said that she was too busy with an autopsy at themoment to meet you.”After saying that, Billy carefully sized up Samuel through the rearviewmirror.Samuel’s gaze turned dark upon hearing that as he pressed his finger lightly against his lips.Then, he looked at the Major Crimes Unit building and said, “Since she’s busy with the autopsy anddoes not have time to meet me, I’ll see her after she’s done with the autopsy.”In all these years,Samuel seemed to be busy with work all day long, leaving his children to Steven’s care, but he hadnever been negligent toward Franklin and Sophia.As long as there was a sliver of a chance to cureSophia’s aphasia, he would never give up.“Billy, has Natalie’s information been sent over yet?”“Yes, butit’s just the basic information.” Billy continued, “I’m not sure if it’s related to her career, but her pastexperiences are all confidential.”“Can’t our hacker just hack the system?”“Sir…” Billy closed his eyesand explained honestly, “It can’t be hacked. Not only that, but our system was counter hacked by them,and we lost millions of codes because of it.”Upon hearing that, a hint of surprise flashed across

Samuel’s eyes. The corner of his lips raised in amusement.“Interesting! It seems like I must meetNatalie as soon as possible.
