Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 400 So How Do You Plan to Compensate Me?

For several days, Emily and Nathan stayed around Adrian. Emily couldn't complete her work at the company. When she came here, she didn't even consider taking a few days off because of the special circumstances. She even felt like quitting.

Now Nathan has also come with her. If he continues to not go back to the company, it will likely suffer many losses considering his position there.

Her own losses don't matter. After all, Eva is her best friend. But what about Nathan? Apart from his sense of responsibility upon learning that Eva was kidnapped, his task was considered complete when Adrian brought them over. However, a long time has passed, and it doesn't seem like he intends to leave.

Emily planned to go replace him.

They lived next door to each other. Emily stood at the door and knocked for a while before a cold male voice came from inside. "Come in."

Why didn't he open the door?

Emily hesitated for a moment, but without thinking too much, she turned the doorknob and entered the room.

Once inside, Emily realized Nathan was sitting in front of a laptop.

He had a pair of earphones on and was in a meeting.

Seeing this, Emily stopped where she was.

If he's in a meeting, it would be a bit impolite to disturb him now.

Emily was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Nathan, who had his gaze on the laptop screen, took a moment to glance at her when he saw that she was about to leave, and then said, "Come over." Emily's steps came to a halt again.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she finally walked over.

Nathan gestured toward the seat opposite him, indicating for her to sit.

Since he was her superior, Emily didn't object and quickly took a seat.

Once she sat down, Emily felt a bit uneasy. Although Nathan was in a meeting, there were only the two of them in the room.

She was facing him, which made her feel a bit awkward.

At first, Emily managed to maintain a normal sitting posture, but as time passed, she began to feel bored. So she took out her phone. "Come out and play!"

She opened the game installed on her phone but forgot to turn off the sound. The game made some noises when she opened it.

Emily felt embarrassed and hurriedly turned it off. Then she looked at Nathan, and their eyes met.

He looked at her, and after a moment, he said to the other participants, "I have something to deal with, so let's finish the meeting here. Shulin, you follow up on the rest." After giving the instructions, Nathan ended the meeting and shut down the laptop.

The room fell silent. After a while, Emily smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, I just... Did I disturb you? It wasn't intentional."

"Pretty bored, huh?" Nathan asked.

Emily shook her head vigorously.

"Not at all! I just didn't know how long your meeting would take, so I opened the game to pass the time. I simply forgot to turn off the sound."

"Hmm." Nathan nodded. "What do you need from me?"

"Well... Actually, I just wanted to thank you for accompanying me to Australia."

Her gratitude caught Nathan by surprise. He raised an eyebrow and said, "And?"

"Well, it's been quite a while, Mr. Powell. Aren't you planning to go back to the company?"

"Oh? Are you trying to get rid of me?" Nathan joked.

Emily quickly shook her head. "No, of course not! It's just that you have so many things to do. You've been in Australia for many days now, and I'm afraid you might delay your work at the company." He had come here for a meeting, which showed how busy he was with work.

"Many things..." Nathan repeated her words and then tugged at his lip. "Hmm, you're right. I have indeed delayed the company's work for a few days."

"So, what are you planning to do?" Emily asked.

"Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Wait, how did the conversation take such a turn?

Emily had initially wanted to suggest that if he was delaying work at the company, he should go back. Who knew he would ask her how she would compensate him?

Emily was confused. "I'm just an employee. What kind of compensation can I offer you?"

Upon hearing this, Nathan curled up the corners of his lips.

"Is there nothing I can be compensated with? Are you not confident in yourself?" he teased.

Emily felt odd. Her lips tightened, and she looked at him with a serious expression.

"Mr. Powell, are you...?"

Nathan raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Are you planning to exploit me twice as much after this is over and I return to the company? Or are you going to cancel my year-end bonus? Well, it's a bit scary, but since you helped me this time, I guess I'll just accept the exploitation." Emily's expression had turned indignant.

Nathan rubbed his forehead. This woman was truly unpredictable.

Forget it.

He took off his headphones and changed the subject.

"Still no news from your friend?"

"Not yet." Emily's eyes became somewhat resentful when she mentioned it. "At first, I thought Adrian was reliable. We had a rough idea of her location, but it's been days and still no luck. It's driving me crazy."

Upon hearing Emily's words, Nathan paused and looked at her. "Finding someone takes time, and even if we replace her, we can't startle the snake before organizing a plan."

"Mr. Powell, are you suggesting that Adrian may have already found Eva's whereabouts and is currently making arrangements?"

Nathan shook his head. "No, that's just my speculation."

Emily's spirits plummeted once again.

Eva's heart had been pounding ever since she woke up this morning.

But she still went downstairs with the two children for breakfast as usual. The three of them continued to ignore Michael and refrain from speaking to him.

Michael, in turn, allowed this behavior.

Just as Eva and the kids finished breakfast and were preparing to leave, Michael suddenly called her.

"Eva."

It was the first time he had called her during breakfast.

Eva turned her head to look at him. "What is it?"

Her tone and attitude were not pleasant, but Michael didn't mind. He smiled and said, "I have to go out after breakfast. Stay at home with the children, and don't wander around. If you need anything, just call Steven." Upon hearing this, Eva narrowed her eyes. She smiled coldly and replied, "Stay at home and don't wander around? Have you forgotten that I'm currently under your confinement? Where can I run even if I want to?" The smile on Michael's lips remained unchanged.

"Eva, don't be angry with me. When you come to your senses later, the doors here will naturally be opened for you."

"Is that so?" Eva sneered. "Then I'm afraid these doors will never have a chance to open for me."
