My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 1203

Naomi met Nelson's gaze, and she subconsciously took a step back. As a result, she accidentally bumped into the door behind her.

Hearing the noise, Emma came out from her room while rubbing her eyes drowsily.

"What happened?"

Naomi shook her head, "No big deal. I just saw a person."

Out of curiosity, Emma stretched out her head to have a look.

"Nelson? What is he doing here? Don't tell me that he's going to stand there the entire night!"

Naomi said, "I don't know."

In fact, she was quite troubled.

She could be resolute in the face of everyone except Nelson. She couldn't help but hold back when she saw him.

She would prefer it if he had come back for revenge. However, he still maintained that attitude of his, wanting to protect her, which put her in a dilemma.

Emma understood her feelings. Therefore, she pulled her over and comforted her, "It's okay, go to sleep first! He can't be that silly to stand there for the whole day. He probably just came to see you on a whim. I bet he'll leave tomorrow. There's still a lot of work in the company awaiting you, so you have to rest well!"

Naomi was indeed dizzy. When she heard that she tried to calm herself down.

"Okay, good night."

"I need to go to the toilet."

By the time Emma came out, Naomi had already fallen asleep. Emma curiously looked out of the window again, only to replace that Nelson was no longer there.

She was happy that she had guessed things right.

However, in the next moment, her jaw dropped.

It turned out that he was indeed no longer standing there, but lying on the ground instead. It seemed that he had collapsed.

She was afraid that his life might be in danger, but she dared not inform Naomi about it, hence she opened the door and went downstairs by herself.

When Naomi got up the next day, there was no one downstairs.

Emma was nowhere to be seen.

Naomi thought Emma was still sleeping, thus she prepared breakfast for both Emma and herself. To her surprise, the door was opened by someone from the outside just when she was about to go out. Emma came in, panting heavily, with breakfast in her hand.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat!"

Naomi shook her head, "I've eaten my portion, and I've left some for you over there. By the way, where did you go just now?"

Emma faltered, "Uh, I-I didn't do anything special. I suddenly didn't know what to eat in the morning, so I went out to buy breakfast."

Naomi knocked on her head jokingly and said, "You don't have to keep worrying about me. I can take care of you too. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. It must be because you didn't sleep well last night."

Emma said, "It's okay! I'm totally fine. Give me a second, I'll change my clothes, and then we can go to the company together."

Naomi asked, "Are you sure you don't need to have some rest?"

"I don't need that. Moreover, we don't have time to rest now." "Alright then!"

They no longer treated each other as strangers anymore. They would tell each other frankly if they were not feeling well.

As soon as Naomi entered the company, she found that there was something amiss.

Just as she was befuddled by the strange atmosphere in the company, Sharon came up to her while crying.

"Naomi, our latest blueprint has been stolen!"

Naomi was flummoxed, "What? How did that happen?"

"I'm not lying! The new resort model that was released by the Olsen Group this morning is exactly the same as ours!"

Naomi took the newspaper that Sharon was holding in her hand. It showed the latest model released by the Olsen Group in detail.

"I didn't expect them to be so unscrupulous," said Emma who felt quite angry. In her opinion, the reason why the Olsen Group had done such a thing was most likely because of Naomi. "What should we do now?"

Sharon was still an inexperienced young girl. When such a misfortune happened, her mind was in turmoil. She had no idea what to do at all. All she did at the moment was just shed tears. Naomi stroked her head consolingly before she looked at Lindsay, who was standing on the other side.

"How do you think we should handle this?"

Lindsay kept quiet. From the beginning until then, she had been standing quietly with her head lowered, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Naomi called her name again, "Lindsay?"

Lindsay came to her senses and answered, "Regarding this matter, I will come up with a solution."

Naomi sighed and said, "Okay, go back to work first! Sharon, stop crying. What's done is done. No matter what happens in the end, our previous designs and plans can't be used anymore. We have to think of another way. You guys have been exhausted recently, so why don't you take the opportunity to go home, take a rest and try to figure out a solution."

It seemed to be the only thing they could do at the moment.

"Lindsay, you should go back too!"

Seeing that Lidsay didn't move, Naomi reminded her.

"I-I'd better stay. Maybe there will be something that I can help with later."

Naomi patted her on the shoulder and turned to go to her office.

Emma followed her.

Emma closed the door as soon as she entered Naomi's office. She said, "Naomi, with regard to this matter-"

"Are you suspecting that it's Culver who did it?"

Naomi knew her quite well. She had already seen through her mind when they were outside just then.

"Who else is capable of doing such a thing except him? I didn't expect a man like him would be so stingy!"

Naomi shook her head. "No!"

"What?"

"He didn't do it."

She knew Culver well. He had a complacent attitude, and he would not be satisfied by using such an underhanded tactic.

In his eyes, other people's ideas were not as good as his own.

Furthermore, he would regard such unprincipled action with disdain.

Emma was confused. "It's not him? Then, who else could it be?"

Naomi whispered, "Those who came into direct contact with the project." Although she didn't want to suspect her own people, it remained a distinct possibility. "Are you referring to those in the project management team in our company?"

Emma gasped, "How could that be?"

Naomi pursed her lips, "In all likelihood we have a traitor."

"Could it be someone among the newcomers? They didn't have a chance to handle the project, though."

"I think the person used some kind of underhanded tactics. Perhaps they will let the cat out of the bag later. We shall wait and see what happens."

Emma clenched her fist, swearing, "Okay. Once I replace out who did it, I will make sure they will suffer."

After a pause, Emma spoke again.

"Even if we come up with a new blueprint, we can't let them know about it. Otherwise, it will be taken away again!"

Naomi had thought of that as well.

However, she failed to think of a perfect solution that could ensure that they would complete the project in time without letting their enemies know about it.

Emma suggested, "Why don't we ask Nelson for help?"

Naomi was mystified, "Why are you mentioning him again?"

Speaking of him, Naomi couldn't help thinking about his behavior the previous night. He used to be a collected person, but he had really behaved unusually then. Emma said, "He's actually quite-"

Before Emma could finish her words, Naomi's phone rang. As soon as she picked it up, they could hear Culver's voice.

"Naomi!"

His voice was so loud that Emma could hear it despite the fact Naomi didn't put him on speaker. Emma thought he was looking for trouble.

However, in the next second, he spoke pitifully, "Why aren't you apologizing to me yet?"
