One Night Stand With That Beggar

“What exactly do you want?”

Lindsay couldn’t stand it anymore. She really had been blinded by her own jealousy previously.

What Lindsay said about hating Naomi was true. She had indeed felt so when Sharon was brought to the company.

Sharon was given access to all the resources from the company once she arrived in order to help her complete the blueprint for the competition.

Despite Lindsay’s identity as a core employee in the company, she had been instantly outshone by Sharon. In addition, ridicule and sarcasm from her colleagues had also given her a hard time.

She began to harbor a deep resentment since then.

She had thought about leaving the company to find a place where she could prove herself and show her true capabilities. After that, she applied for a job in Louis Group. She was told to return home and wait for the news.

Upon hearing that, she had thought she had failed to get the job. To her surprise, the two men, who were in front of her at the moment, had come to her back then.

They had told her that they had to teach Naomi a lesson because she had offended their boss. However, they needed help as Naomi was too skilled in fighting.

They had claimed that they would allow Lindsay to be admitted to their company as long as she cooperated with them to teach Naomi a lesson. On top of that, they had even offered her the position of the manager of the design department.

She had been consumed by jealousy that time.

Therefore, she agreed to help them.

She was also the one who had notified the two men when Naomi had asked her to join for lunch. She had thought she could get the job after they taught Naomi a lesson.

In her opinion, Naomi was trained in self-defense, so those people couldn’t do too much harm to her.

However, she hadn’t expected Naomi to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

Naomi knew where Lindsay’s abilities laid.

Furthermore, Naomi had arranged a new position for her. She was to be a general manager, which was much better than the position offered by the Louis Group.

Back then, she had been so overwhelmed with remorse that she failed to notice that the two men had arrived at the restaurant they were in.

In the end, she wanted to block the attack for Naomi, but it turned out that she was still eventually saved by Naomi.

Thinking of that, Lindsay regretted her actions.

Hence, she would not commit the same mistake again.

One of the men said, “Nothing much! All we need you to do is just protect your own company.”

Lindsay was bewildered, “What do you mean by that?”

“Now that the blueprint has been stolen from your company, shouldn’t you divulge it and seek the media’s help?”

Lindsay was not stupid. She immediately retorted.

She immediately retorted, “No!”

She remembered that Culver had given flowers to Naomi last time, which showed that they were not just ordinary friends. Besides, Naomi hadn’t exposed the matter immediately, which meant that she already had a plan in mind.

Thus, Lindsay refused to comply with their request.

“Well, it’s not up to you!”

As they were saying so, they surrounded Lindsay.

Lindsay asked apprehensively, “What are you going to do?”

“Hand it over!”

One of them grabbed Lindsay’s bag and took out her phone.

“Give it back to me!”

Sadly, she didn’t possess the skills to fight against them, and she was not powerful enough to break free of the man’s grasp. At the same time, the other man used her phone to reveal the matter of the stolen blueprint. After a while, he stopped and smiled.

“Alright. Stay put for a while, and then you may leave!”

After that, he winked at the other man. The two of them took out the SIM card from her phone and threw it back to her before they left with her phone.

It was not until they had left that Lindsay quickly came out of the garage and looked for someone whom she could borrow a phone from.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

It was just that the company was located in a remote area, and there was no one else working on that day. She had no choice but to buy a new phone.

She had to delete the message posted by the man just then before anyone saw it.

However, she was too late. After she got a new phone, the news was already circulating.

She was bombarded with calls.

…

Culver had just finished his meal when he received a call from his mother, Marilyn.

She said sardonically, “So, this is the woman you value very much. Well, she is indeed very different from others as she’s capable of slandering us online. I’m afraid that she is the only one who dares to do that.”

Culver was perplexed as he asked, “What?”

“Go and see for yourself! The news is going viral. We’re being accused of plagiarism. When your father was the president, such an issue never happened! This time, you’ve besmirched the good name of our family…”

Truth be told, Culver failed to hear the latter part of her sentence. He hurriedly took out his phone and checked the news.

Sure enough, it was just like Marilyn said. The earliest post had been uploaded by a woman.

She was the head of design in Naomi’s company, Lindsay Sanders.

The accusation Lindsay made was quite convincing. Many people would believe her words.

Culver couldn’t help but feel discouraged.

He thought Naomi could feel his love even if she did not accept it.

When the news was announced, she hadn’t reported them to the police, which made him glad even if he did not express his thanks.

It indicated that she might even harbor some affection for him.

However, such a piece of news came as a devastating blow to him. Perhaps it wasn’t a very serious problem for the Olsen Group.

However, things were different for him.

He was hurt to the core.

He was still reluctant to believe that Naomi would do such a thing. He would rather believe that it was done by Lindsay without her permission.

Seeing that he was holding his phone tightly, as if he was going to crush it, Aaron called out to him nervously.

“Mr. Olsen? Are you alright?”

Culver came back to his senses. He was pretty sure that Naomi was unaware of the matter. So, he wanted to ask her about it in person.

“I need to go out for a moment. Just bide your time and wait for me to come back.”

…

Meanwhile, Emma and Naomi were also distressed by the news.

“Why did Lindsay suddenly reveal it?”

“I can’t get in touch with her now.”

“Forget it. I’d better make a statement to clarify it.”

Naomi blurted out.

Emma looked at her suspiciously, “What did you say?”

“I’d better make a clarification! I better do so before it’s too late.”

Emma asked, “Are you doing it for Culver?”

Maybe even Naomi herself failed to realize that she had a thing for Culver.

Naomi paused briefly before she answered, “That’s not the case. I’m just thinking that we shouldn’t confront the Olsen Group head-on. It’ll do us no good to go against such a big company.”

Emma said in disbelief, “You’ve never been so overcautious and indecisive.”

Naomi pursed her lips, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, we have to find a way to settle the public’s opinion.”

Emma stopped her, saying, “Wait, you can’t clarify things now.”

“If you make a statement now, you will only intensify the situation. By then, there will be more people talking about it.”

Naomi put down her phone, “Oh, you’re right!”

Then, Emma suggested, “Let’s look for Nelson! He must have a plan!”
