Once you set your mind to something, no one can change your mind," Dean said and continued after a pause, "Giving this a try isn't that bad. Even if you fail, everything will simply remain the same. Elliot wouldn't fire you "Who knows? He only set this target forso that I would give up. I am too stubborn, and I enjoy proving my worth, so I won't regret it even if I fail in the end." "I do admire your perseverance, Natalie." "I admire you, too, Dean. I personally think that you are just as talented as Elliot." "Don't say that! I can't hold a candle to him! " Dean gaped and glanced around. "Natalie, you mustn't say things like that!" "This is my office, Dean, you don't have to worry. I only said so because I know word won't get out," Natalie said just in tfor the assistant to return with the tea.

Dean looked over at Natalie after the door was closed.
"Are you upset with Elliot because he is back together with Avery?" Natalie focused intently on the teapot in her hand and steeped the tea lazily.
"You've underestimated me, Dead. I might be a bit sad that Elliot hasn't fallen for me, but I'm not blind," she said calmly. "There are plenty of things in the world that offer more meaning than romance and marriage. If I can't find the right person to marry, perhaps finding a compatible ally wouldn't be that bad as well." "Oh?" "Dean, I'm not sure if you have heard the rumors circling around lately." Natalie handed Dean his cup of tea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What rumors?" "It's about Elliot." She poured another cup and set it before him. "I heard that something happened to Elliot." Dean's hand jolted and the tea inside his cup spilled. His mood ruined, he set the cup down and said, "Natalie, this isn't something you should be joking around with!" Natalie handed him a piece of tissue to wipe his hands.
"My friend in Ylore toldabout it. My friend happens to be staying in the shotel as Elliot, he said that the police showed up," she explained. "It's been a few days since I heard that and I'm getting a really bad feeling that I haven't been able to reach Elliot up until now." Dean's expression darkened as he stood abruptly. "Natalie, there's something I need to do so I'll be going now!" he said before storming out of her office.
After he left, Natalie's assistant hurried inside.
"Ms. Jennings, why did Mr. Johanson leave? The look on his face was so scary. Did you two fight?" The assistant asked worriedly.
Natalie sneered. "Seems like I've overestimated him! I thought that he would be happy to know that Elliot's dead! He doesn't know what I'm capable of yet, but if we join hands, we would do better than S Elliot." The assistant paled. "Ms. Jennings, did Elliot die?" "Yeah! Isn't it strange?" Natalie went back to her desk with the contract. "I am shocked, too. But that's how life works. The most impossible things can happen when you least expect it. Didn't one of the most famous actors die on his private jet a month ago?" The assistant gasped. "How horrible! If Elliot is dead, what would happen to his company?" "It's going to be chaotic. Anyone with talent or ambition would have their eyes on his company and try to take over. Elliot's children are too young to take over his company, after all." "What about Avery?"
