Chapter 136 Got a Grudge?
At that time, she couldn't escape a scolding from her mother.
But she did it all because of Alice, not because she disliked this maid. She just happened to see her at the Imperial Nightclub and thought of cozying up to Alice.
Thinking of this, she felt a bit relieved. Being good with Alice meant being good with the Howard family.
The Charlie Family was far inferior to the Howard family.
In the bathroom, Natalie washed her face with water, tied up her hair again, and looked at herself in the mirror. There were swollen palm prints on one side of her face.
She touched her leg. Kicking someone with high heels, just like Arabella did, was very painful. She looked at the bruise on her leg.
After tidying up, as soon as she walked out of the restroom, she found Melody standing at the door.
She was smoking and glanced at Natalie. "Come to my office."
In the office, Melody opened the fridge and threw an ice pack to Natalie. "Put this on so it won't swell up more tomorrow."
Natalie pressed the ice pack to her face, feeling less pain.
After sitting in a chair, Melody propped her legs on the table and expelled the smoke with her red lips. "Tell me, what happened?"
"You don't even know the specifics, yet you blocked me from apologizing. Mrs. Nicholson, didn't you say the poor have no dignity? You have to accept everything."
"A kind girl was wrongly accused of seducing a young master. I also have to take responsibility for my subordinates. You are clever and sensible, unlike Denise. Denise is too stubborn, rigid, and doesn't know how to adapt." Melody raised her eyebrows, playing with her lighter. "Girls like Arabella, the young ladies, love to take others' tolerance towards them for granted. You apologize to her first, and she makes you kneel on the ground, then she makes you kowtow. They will film it and post it online to mock you."
Natalie let out a heavy sigh. "That Ms. Everly tripped me with her foot. I didn't expect someone to suddenly stick out their foot, and I fell. Declan was right in front of me. I protected the red wine in my hands and fell by his legs, spilling some wine on him. Then Diana said I seduced Declan, and Arabella came over."
"Do you have a grudge against Diana? She played such a trick on you."
The Imperial Nightclub is an entertainment venue with various activities. It usually hosts many socialites, rich young masters, and businessmen. Such pranks on waitstaff have never happened before.
Natalie furrowed her brows slightly.
Suddenly, she remembered that at Ruben Howard's birthday banquet, Alice had a few girlfriends by her side.
Among them was Diana.
She smiled faintly. "Maybe."
"I'll give you a week off to rest well, take care of your face, and then come back."
Natalie actually didn't want to rest.
She still needed to earn money to support her mother and their future lives. She wanted to leave here and settle in another city, but it was impossible without money.
"Manager Nicholson, I can come to work tomorrow."
Melody stopped her. "Can you face people like this?" She glanced at her face. "Take paid leave. Is that okay?"
"Thank you, Manager Nicholson."
Natalie prepared to leave.
The phone on Melody's desk rang. She answered it and told Natalie, who was already at the door, "Go to room 309. Mr. Howard said to take him back."
