A Cue For Happiness Chapter 8


    Picking Her Up Personally


    Natalie switched off the green light in the autopsy room then took off her mask and goggles before


    making her way to the office area.When she was about to sit down and sign the autopsy report, she


    noticed containers of food stacked up on her desk. “Acape” was printed on all of the stic


    bags.“What is this, Brandon?” she asked with her eyebrows furrowed.“Someone ordered delivery for


    you, Boss.” He eyed the containers in envy as he continued, “Acape is the most gourmet restaurant


    in Dellmoor. Apparently, it’s membership-only, and getting one costs a million. I wonder what kind of


    person would be powerful enough to get Acape to deliver food thiste at night.”“For me?” Natalie


    was even more confused. “Who ordered it?”Brandon picked up a small card beside the boxes and read


    it aloud. “It must be hard working sote at night, Ms. Nichols. Regards, Samuel Bowers.”After reading


    it, he waspletely stunned, and Effie couldn’t make sense of it either.They couldn’t deny the fact


    that Natalie was incredibly skilled as a coroner. However, in terms of appearance, she didn’t stand out


    at all. Her face was the definition of forgettable. They just couldn’t believe that Samuel would have bad


    enough taste to go after someone like Natalie. However, the boxes of delivery from Acape forced


    them to ept that there was some kind of special connection between the two of them.Brandon


    summoned up the courage to ask, “Boss, what kind of rtionship do you have with Samuel?”“We


    don’t know each other,” she insisted.“You must be kidding, Boss.”“Believe whatever you want.”She


    snatched the card from Brandon’s grip and threw it into the trash. Then, she swept her gaze over the


    containers in front of her and icily ordered, “Give these to the people working overtime in the forensic


    department, Brandon. If there’s too much even for them, then give some to the guards too.”She then


    took out some crackers from her bag and began munching on them.Brandon couldn’tprehend


    what was going on. “Are you not going to eat this food from Acape, Boss? Why are you eating


    crackers instead?”Natalie rolled her eyes. “Do you have a problem with that?”He shook his head


    frantically. “Not at all. I’ll go distribute these right away.”Natalie continued to chew the crackers. She


    didn’t even spare the containers a single nce.It didn’t matter how luxurious Acape was. She


    refused to ept something that she didn’t deserve. However, considering how hard it was to get one’s


    hands on food like that, she decided it would still be best to share it with others.Effie didn’t touch the


    food at all. Instead, she stared at Natalie unblinkingly.She couldn’t help but feel that there was


    something about Natalie. Not only was she good at her job, but she also treated bigshots like Gerald


    and Samuelpletely neutrally. She knew where to draw the line. Despite not standing out much, she


    still managed to get others’ attention without doing anything.“Can you give me a cracker, Boss?” Effie


    asked.Natalie met her gaze and grinned. “Aren’t you going to eat the food Samuel bought?”“It’s not like


    I know him. I was just curious about the rtionship between you two. Since you said that you don’t


    know each other, then I obviously have to take your side, Boss.” As someone who had witnessed


    Natalie’s professionalism and attitude personally, she had already epted Natalie as her


    superior.Natalie found Effie rather interesting and handed her a cracker. “Here you go.”While eating the


    tasteless crackers, they couldn’t help but smile as they looked at each other.Effie abruptly realized that


    her eyes were simply gorgeous despite her average looks. It was particrly so when she smiled. The


    aura of her gaze and the cunning look in her eyes became hard to forget.The following morning,


    Samuel faced a ss window inside a huge office building, looking down at the flow of cars around the


    city.The ck shirt he was wearing outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist even more boldly,


    while his icy, handsome face gave him the aura of a leader.“I think she might be using the 2Gwork,


    Sir,” Billy reported grimly. “Natalie doesn’t know the weight that the Bowers family carries in Dellmoor,


    and I don’t think she knows how luxurious of a restaurant Acape is, either. Last night, I witnessed her


    distributing the food to the guards where she works.”Samuel’s lips twitched. “That’s not necessarily the


    case.”Billy gritted his teeth, then voiced his bold opinion. “If it’s true that Natalie’s aware, then there’s a


    good chance that she’s just ying hard to get. She’s doing this to get you hooked and make you


    curious. If she’s that cunning, then she might even use Sophia for her own benefits.”Samuel nced


    around before knocking on the table rhythmically. “I see you have a very active imagination, Billy.”“Sir


    —”“Even our own people can’t get any information about her. Do you still think she’s an ordinary


    person?” Samuel cut him off. He sat in his office chair with a dark gaze as a barely noticeable grin


    surfaced on his face. “Her job as a coroner is nothing more than the tip of the iceberg.”Billy finally came


    to a realization after hearing those words. “I underestimated her, Sir. I’m sorry.”“It’s okay.” Samuel


    crossed his arms. “Postpone my schedule for tonight. I’m going to pick her up personally.”C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
