Chapter 141

Elaine had obviously run out of patience. As soon as Naomi entered the office, she threw the file folder in her hand at Naomi’s head. “You slacker! Why does it take you so long to buy me lunch?”

Naomi didn’t dodge, letting the folder hit her head. She lowered her eyes and said. “Sorry, boss. I shouldn’t have been so slow

“Get over here, Elaine shouted at her.

Naomi placed the food on the desk, but the next second. Flaine threw everything at her. “What’s this shit you bought? Is this even edible!”

The food spilled all over Naomi’s clothes, with the soup still dripping She dug her nails into her palms before slowly releasing them. “Sorry, buy it again.”

Elaine was on a video call on the computer screen, and the person on the other end was Shawn. At that moment, his eyes were frighteningly gloomy. He had warned Elaine to stop making things too difficult for Naomi, but she continued to ignore his words.

Does Elaine really think that because I am tied up with Fischer Group, I can’t go to Yeonland? Or does she thank that the great distance means I can do nothing to her? Shawn thought.

Naomi turned around to leave, but Elaine’s impatient voice rang out again. “Did I say you could leaver Get over here.

“Massage my back

Naomi paused for a moment, adjusted her emotions, and turned around. Her boss, Elaine, shares her name with the most outstanding jewelry brand under Fischer Group. Naomi believed that since Shawn had sent her here to learn from Elaine, it must be beneficial for her.

But what if Shawn has simply sent me here to be tormented by Elaine? Naomi wondered.

Naomi didn’t want to suspect Shawn of having I intentions, but sometimes she couldn’t help herself.

“Shawn shouldn’t be that kind of person. I need to trust him, Naomi thought.

Naomi kept taking deep breaths. Her face remained calm, but she was struggling in her heart.

Naomi walked up behind Elaine, wiped her hands on her clothes, and reached for Elaine’s shoulders. She began to knead gently, then suddenly applied more pressure.

“Ah!” Elaine screamed in pain. Naomi withdrew her hand and looked at her innocently. “Boss, what happened? Did I use too much force!

“I never learned professional massage techniques, so I can’t control my strength well. Boss, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”

Naomi apologized in a sincere tone, her face filled with guilt. “Tim so sorry, Ross. Il be gentler this time. I promise I won’t hurt you again”

Elaine stared at her, then smirked. “Ill give you another chance. If you don’t can’t do it well, then go back to Atopan. Don’t blame me for not giving you an opportunity. If you can’t pass my test, you won’t make it into the school.”

“Yes, I understand. Thank you for giving me another chance, boss” Naomi lowered her head respectfully. This time, she didn’t play any tricks, but earnestly gave Elaine a back massage and shoulder knead.

Elaine thought Naomi would lose her patience, but once again, she surprised her.

After the massage, Elaine thought for a moment and said, “Come back with me and be my personal assistant.

“Sure, boss,” Naomi agreed.

“At my house, you will call me the future Mrs. Fischer. Got it?” Flaine looked down at Naomi arrogantly. “Do you think that just because you spent a few nights with Shawn, you can marry him and become Mrs. Fischer? He told me that you were adopted by the Edwards family from an orphanage. Remember, no stray cat or dog should ever dream of marrying into the Fischer family”

“Got it, Boss. Congratulations on being superior to stray cats and dogs, Naomi replied indifferently. “Hoss, please.”

Naomi hadn’t heard Shawn mention calling Elaine the future Mrs. Fischer, so she didn’t want to address her that way.

Elaine stared at her. “Naomi, you have a lot of nerve, daring to insult your bou”

Naci maintained her calm tone. “I dare not, Boss, you misheard”

“Go, carry my bag. Elaine said.

Naomi followed the order and went to pick up the bag.

“You may leave now.” Elaine glanced at the computer screen, where Shawn had not shown his face. The camera was pointed at a cactus with pink blooms. It was clearly not something Shawn would keep.

After Naomi left the office, Elaine spoke up, Tve asked her out of the office. Shawn, is she always this tolerant?

“Tve bullied her like this, yet she still didn’t get pissed off.”

The cactus was moved aside by a slender hand, revealing Shawn’s handsome yet grim face. He stared straight at Flaine with his deep, delicate eyes. “Are you looking for trouble?”

Elaine shrugged. “You don’t like her anyway, What’s wrong with me bullying her a bit? Are you really planning to marry her?”

With a snap, Shawn broke the pen in his hand, ink instantly staining his hand. “I admit my mom gave you the name Elaine as her last wish, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want”

Elaine smiled with squinted eyes, lounging in her chair. “Shawn, you’ve fallen for her.

“Mrs. Fischer should have forced Naomi to have children with you. Am I right?

“Don’t deny it. If it weren’t for the case, you wouldn’t have sent her to me.”

Elaine sat up straight, then leaned forward, resting her elbows on the desk. She smiled at Shawn on the video, squinting slightly. “I’m just curious about Naomi’s endurance. After all, for a woman who is able to approach you, a pretty face alone isn’t enough to bring her this far.

“By the way, Naomi is secretly treating Bridget’s daughter. Should I turn a blind eye to it?” Elaine asked.

Shawn’s expression remained gloomy. “I told you when I sent her over, manage what you should, don’t meddle in what you shouldn’t. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless to you.”

Elaine replied, “If you threaten me like that, you’re going against our original agreement. I’m keeping an eye on Jeffrey’s family for you in Yeonland, and you’re supposed to take care of my mother and sister in Anopan. If Naomi wants to learn from me, then I have the right to use her.”

Elaine propped her chin with her hand. “During the fashion show. I’ll take Naomi with me. I heard Hendrix will be there too.

“And Irena. It’s time for Naomi to have a look at her designs”

This time, Shawn didn’t oppose. He gently tapped the table with his fingers and spoke after a while, “I’ll send Chandler to check on your sister and mother.

Elaine smiled sincerely. “Then remember to have Chandler take photos for me.”

“Okay,” Shawn agreed.

“If Naomi wants to go to Bridget’s place, I’ll make it easy for her, Elaine said.

Shawn didn’t respond and ended the video call unilaterally, indicating that he was satisfied with Elaine’s words.

Elaine stood up and quickly left the office as well. Naomi, with her clothes drenched in soup and looking a mess, smelled like food.

Elaine pulled out a stack of money and handed it to her. “Go buy some clothes. Consider it my compensation.”

“Okay, boss.” Naomi took the money and asked, “Are there any time or style restrictions this time?”

Elaine smiled. “No”

“Once you’re done shopping, come replace me at this address” She stuffed a business card into Naomi’s chest. This is my home address and private phone number, something most people can’t get

“Young lady, you should be grateful.”

“Thank you, Boss. I wish you a long life and prosperity,” Naomi said earnestly before leaving

Elaine stood there for a moment and then couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “She is quite amusing.”

When Naomi got out of the office building, she immediately hailed a taxi to the Hopper residence.

She didn’t care about her disheveled appearance. Zoey went to deliver the medicine, but Bridget and Coco might not necessarily believe her.

Naomi took out her phone and checked it. Joanna had sent a message asking how she was doing, and Natalie advised her to hang in there, saying that although Elaine had a bad temper, she was really talented and encouraged Naomi to seize the opportunity to learn as much as she could.

Surprisingly. Jessie had also sent her a message: [Ms. Edwards, here are some materials I’ve compiled for you. I hope they will be helpful.

She clicked on her email and accepted the materials sent by Jessie. She was shocked when she glanced at them, thinking that Jessie was too kind to

This kind of unprompted kindness made Naomi feel that Jessie had some ulterior motives, but until now, Jessie hadn’t asked anything of her,

Jessie even took care of Naomi Design by placing a large order with them.

Enzo sent her a message informing her about this

Naomi furrowed her brows, wondering what Jessie wanted to do.

Naomi hesitated, wondering if she should call to ask. The next second, she received a friend request on WhatsApp. She opened it and saw the request was from Alfred. After a moment of hesitation, she accepted.

As soon as she accepted the request, Alfred started transferring money to her, one after another, totaling nineteen transfers. Each transfer was labeled “First birthday gift. “Second birthday gift, Third birthday gif all the way to the nineteenth.

Naomi was confused and thought, “What’s wrong with Alfred?”

She had never celebrated her birthday in the orphanage, and after being adopted by Javier and Victoria, the Edwards family never celebrated her birthday either. Because she was an orphan, she didn’t even know when her birthday was

Javier and Victoria treated her as a living blood bank, and in their eyes, a blood bank didn’t deserve to celebrate birthdays.

After transferring money nineteen times, Alfred carefully sent a message: [Naomi, happy birthday]

Naomi was speechless.

She didn’t accept the money. Instead, she typed three question marks: [???]

On the other end, Alfred held his phone, feeling extremely nervous. He wanted to say, “Naomi, go ahead and accept it. I have lots of money!

However, Naomi was very wary of him. Today, he had acted impulsively. Although Jessie had advised him to take things slowly and proceed step by step, the thought of Naomi being bullied in Yeonland made him lose control.

Alfred stared at those three question marks for a long while before typing again. After finishing, he felt it was inappropriate and deleted the message, then started typing again.

Naomi watched as the status indicated Alfred was typing. After waiting for a long time without receiving any message from him, she decided to take a screenshot and send it to Shawn.

Naomi: [Mr. Fischer, do you know what Alfred means by this?]
