Chapter 23 The Chairman

Ross was stunned as he could not believe what he had just heard.

“You are the chairman of Dream Company?”

Dream Pharmaceutical was quite a new company. Though it was only established three years ago, it quickly became one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in Chanaea due to its effective anti- inflammatory drugs.

Everyone knew that Yandel only held fifteen percent of Dream Company’s shares. The other seventy percent was in the hands of the chairman.

However, the chairman’s identity remained a mystery. Many speculated that the chairman might be an old man who could not show himself in public.

Never in his dreams did Ross imagine that the founder and chairman of Dream Company was none other than the beautiful young woman in front of him.

“That’s right. She’s my boss and the chairman of Dream Company, Natalie Nichols.” Yandel made the introduction with a straight face as he brushed his hair away from his eyes.

Natalie disregarded Yandel’s brown-nosing and looked at Ross.

“You can continue hiding in rock bottom or climb back to the top. It all depends on you.”

In the setting sun, Natalie was covered in a layer of soft light. However, her almond eyes showed a firm look.

She was gorgeous, but it did not matter in that moment.

The power she exuded was enough to make anyone become a loyal follower.

“I want to get up. I want revenge.”

Natalie’s lips curled up in a smile when she got the answer she was hoping for.

“The first step to getting back on top is to dress the part.” She glanced at Yandel and said, “Take him and dress him up. Lend him your clothes for now.”

With that, Yandel led Ross to the lounge in the chairman’s office.

After a while, the men reappeared. Seeing Ross with his new look, Natalie nodded with satisfaction. Indeed, clothes make the man.

Even though he was only wearing a simple white collared shirt and black pants, Natalie could see a glimpse of his former handsome self as he stood there with his hands in his pockets.

“Not bad at all, Dr. Trevor.”

Ross was no longer resistant as he was before. “Thank you.”

Noticing how Natalie had all eyes on Ross, Yandel felt left out. “Boss, how about me?”

“You? Good enough.” Natalie pursed her lips and continued, “You’ll start flying if I praise you more.”

They looked at each other and smiled.

Afterward, Natalie began discussing their latest strategies and their research and development direction with Yandel and Ross.

Yandel had long been used to Natalie’s thought process. As Ross listened and pondered quietly, he could not help but feel newfound respect for her.

As they were about to finish, Natalie’s phone rang all of a sudden.

Natalie got up and went to a quiet corner to pick up the phone while Ross and Yandel discussed quietly.

“Hello, is this Ms. Nichols?”

“And you are?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“I’m Mr. Bowers’ butler, Gavin.”

Natalie was not expecting that phone call.

Even though she had agreed to help with Sophia’s aphasia, the appointments were supposed to be held once a month. The call came fifteen days too early.

“Gavin, what is it?”

“Ms. Nichols, I know that I’m calling at a bad time, but Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia are on a hunger strike.”

“Why are they on a hunger strike?” Natalie was confused, especially since Sophia was so obedient.

“Because… they want to see you. However, Mr. Samuel said he would not arrange a meeting since it’s still too early. That’s why they’re throwing a tantrum. Mr. Samuel got angry and confiscated their phones. The kids couldn’t do anything else, so they decided to go on a hunger strike.”

Natalie was stunned.

Those little cuties went on a hunger strike because of me?
