Chapter 307: Accident
Natalie returned to her office, where the entire floor was silent after the shocking news about her. No one dared to make a sound in front of her, unsure of what kind of mood she might be in.
Keeping her usual demeanor, Natalie walked inside her office, where someone was waiting for her—Victor Reid.
She saw him and went to sit in her chair, unfazed by his presence. She opened her laptop to begin her work while Ella stood by her side, waiting for any instructions.
Victor stood up, picked up two baskets from the center table, and walked over to her. He placed the baskets on her desk and instructed, "Choose one."
Natalie looked at the baskets with an annoyed gaze. One contained packs of tissue paper, while the other held an expensive champagne bottle and glasses.
Without hesitation, Natalie pointed toward the champagne bottle and resumed her work.
Ella was confused by what was going on. What exactly was Victor trying to do? Shouldn’t he leave her alone or at least try to talk to her as a friend in this situation? But...
Victor casually tossed the other basket aside and picked up the champagne bottle. "Good that you chose to celebrate over crying. You look ugly when you cry, and I have little patience for ugly crybabies."
He opened the champagne bottle and poured it into two glasses. Then, he picked up both glasses, walked to her side of the table, and offered her one while leaning against her desk.
Natalie accepted the glass.
"Cheers to finally not having that pathetic man as your father," Victor said as they clinked their glasses and emptied them in one go.
