Chapter 807 Heart Disease, Terminally Ill
Seraphina looked at Dashiell.
She smiled and said, "The cake you gave me isn't as good as the breakfast I bought."
Dashiell's face visibly darkened.
Natalia looked at the sandwich she had just eaten, "Did Ms. Everhart buy this?"
"Yes." Seraphina nodded, speaking quite frankly. "Bribing Mr. Montgomery."
Natalia couldn't help but laugh, "Really? But this sandwich is really delicious. When I was in college, my friends and I would take the bus just to eat it, and then go to class."
Seraphina just smiled and didn't respond.
Natalia continued, sounding very enthusiastic, "I was in a rush this morning and didn't have breakfast. Dashiell told me to eat, so I did. I didn't know it was from Ms. Everhart. I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Sure." Seraphina agreed.
She seemed very easygoing.
After all, she couldn't afford to offend Dashiell's friends.
Who knows, Natalia might become Dashiell's wife in the future.
Dashiell's things aren't for just anyone to touch.
Those who can touch his things generally have a good relationship with him.
She said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."
Seraphina was still very respectful.
Dashiell didn't say anything.
Natalia certainly wouldn't say anything more.
Seraphina left.
The moment she left, her heart felt like it was breaking.
Couldn't Dashiell wait a little longer?
Couldn't he wait a little longer for her?
Seraphina's eyes were a bit red, but she still forced herself to walk away.
She didn't have the courage to ask Dashiell to come back to her.
She always felt that she wasn't good enough for Dashiell anymore.
The office door closed behind her.
Natalia took the initiative to speak, "Dashiell, where is my workstation? Should I go there now?"
"Mr. Carter told me you studied administration?" Dashiell asked.
"Yes." Natalia added, "I have a master's degree."
"Start with an internship in the Secretary's Department. The secretary position will expose you to many administrative tasks in the company, helping you get familiar with the work faster. After the internship, I'll transfer you to the General Affairs Department." Dashiell said.
"Okay, thank you, Dashiell." Natalia said happily.
"Mr. Carter personally called me. He has helped me a lot in the past. When he asks for a favor, I naturally take it to heart. You don't need to be too polite." Dashiell said bluntly.
His words clearly made Natalia a bit unhappy.
Dashiell meant that he was treating her this way because of Landon.
But before, Landon had told her that Dashiell was single and that she could develop a relationship with him. Landon meant it, and Dashiell knew it too.
So she always thought Dashiell should treat her differently.
After Dashiell finished speaking, he pressed the intercom button, seemingly not noticing Natalia's emotions.
"Daphne, come in."
"Yes."
After a while, Daphne walked into the office, "Mr. Montgomery."
"Natalia, the new intern, will be interning in the Secretary's Department. Guide her."
"Yes, Mr. Montgomery." Daphne said respectfully.
Dashiell turned to Natalia, "Just follow Daphne and learn. If you have any questions, you can ask her directly."
"Okay." Natalia nodded, "I will study hard."
Dashiell nodded slightly, not too enthusiastic.
"Thank you for the breakfast this morning." Natalia said deliberately.
It seemed to be for Daphne's ears.
She wanted Daphne to know that her status was different from others.
"People with stomach problems should remember to eat breakfast next time." Dashiell said bluntly.
"I will remember." Natalia said obediently.
Dashiell didn't say anything more.
Daphne couldn't help but take another look at Natalia.
What was Natalia's relationship with Dashiell?
Of course, as a secretary, she wouldn't be foolish enough to ask. She just mentally prepared herself, knowing that Natalia couldn't be offended.
Daphne became even more respectful, "Ms. Carter, this way, please."
Natalia said thank you and followed Daphne out.
After they left.
Dashiell's stern face darkened.
She said his cake wasn't good!
High-end restaurant cake, how could Seraphina be so picky!
He couldn't help but glance at the breakfast Natalia had eaten, his face darkening even more.
Seraphina returned to her office.
She felt terrible and wanted to cry.
She looked at the cake in front of her and suddenly lost her appetite.
Why did he give her breakfast to someone else? Why?
Dashiell, that bastard!
He moved on so quickly.
Seraphina was falling apart.
Her secretary, Nora Adams, knocked and entered, "Ms. Everhart."
"What." Seraphina lay dejectedly on her desk, heartbroken.
"Ms. Everhart, are you feeling unwell?" Nora asked, concerned.
"It's nothing. I won't die." Seraphina said weakly.
Nora really thought Seraphina was different from most people.
Working under her could be tiring.
Because many things had to be done in more detail, as Dashiell had specifically instructed, since Seraphina didn't understand many things.
But Seraphina had a good temper and personality, and she was very easygoing with them.
"Do you need something?" Seraphina asked.
"There's a department meeting in ten minutes. Mr. Montgomery just called to say he will attend." Nora reported.
If he wants to attend, let him attend.
What's the point of giving a heads-up?
Seeing Seraphina's lack of reaction, Nora didn't say more, "I'll remind you in a bit."
"Okay."
"Ms. Everhart, if you're feeling unwell, should I get some medicine from the pharmacy?" Nora asked.
"It's useless." Seraphina shook her head, "Heartache, it's incurable."
Nora, usually eloquent, was often at a loss for words with Seraphina.
"Take the cake and milk away." Seraphina said.
"Ms. Everhart, aren't you going to eat?"
"I don't want to."
"If you don't eat breakfast..."
"It makes me feel sick, take it away." Seraphina urged.
Nora quickly took the cake and milk away, not forgetting to confirm again, "Ms. Everhart, are you sure you don't want it?"
"I don't want it." Seraphina said impatiently.
Nora didn't dare ask more.
She took the cake and left.
Looking at the exquisite cake, it felt like a waste to throw it away. She thought for a moment and couldn't resist eating it herself.
She even shared it with other colleagues.
Everyone thought it was delicious.
Seraphina was really wasting it.
Ten minutes later.
Seraphina went to the meeting room.
She heard Dashiell was coming and didn't know why.
Seraphina felt she didn't want to see him for even a second now.
But Dashiell was the chairman of Everhart Bank, what could she do?
After she sat down, she didn't wait for Dashiell and started the meeting.
Dashiell indeed arrived a few minutes late.
His secretary, besides Daphne, also had Natalia with him.
Daphne didn't call Natalia, but Natalia was too eager. Without knowing her exact status, Daphne didn't dare act rashly and didn't refuse her.
