C2 Please Don't Appear in My Line of Sight Again

It was 8:40 in the morning.

Clifton walked Naomi to the coffee shop at the corner of New Edge Magazine Club as usual. He then threw a heavy bomb at her. Naomi didn't even know how to cross the road and enter the magazine club.

...

"Naomi, why are you so distracted? I called you a few times, but you didn't hear me." Naomi was startled when someone patted her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw her colleague, Amanda.

Naomi had worked at New Edge for a year, and Amanda had been here for two months. The two of them had a good relationship. Two months ago, when Clifton sent Naomi to work, Amanda happened to see it. Therefore, Amanda knew about their relationship.

Naomi sighed and closed her eyes. She said, "Clifton said that he will take me to see his mother in France next week."

"What?!" Amanda's eyes widened and her voice rose.

Naomi quickly covered her mouth and glared at her. "You're going to die! Do you want the whole world to know?"

Amanda was too shocked. She reacted and quickly pulled Naomi's hand away. She clicked her tongue in wonder. "I thought that Clifton was just playing with you. I didn't expect him to be serious! Tsk tsk, see your future mother-in-law... Naomi, you've found a treasure!"

However, Naomi wasn't as optimistic as her.

She had been with Clifton for a year, but she had never guessed what he was thinking. Besides, there were so many rumors about him. She knew that her family background and appearance were not comparable to his. Why would Clifton choose her?

Naomi sighed and thought to herself, "It seems like I can't figure out Clifton's thoughts with my little brain."

Naomi walked towards her desk.

As soon as she sat down, Amanda mysteriously came over and said, "Naomi, I thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out why Clifton chose you. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility..."

"If you have something to say, then say it!" Naomi frowned.

Amanda smiled and said, “Think about it, Clifton is 31 this year. Logically speaking, he should be married at this age. I heard that Sherman has been looking forward to having a grandchild for a few years. But Clifton, he has a lot of rumors about his girlfriend, but he has never admitted to any of them. So I think he must have been forced by his family to pull out one of them!”

Naomi's eyelashes twitched. Was this really just a coincidence? Could it be that after she and Clifton got together, they became a pair of adulterers?

F*ck!

How unlucky!

Just like that, Naomi spent the next week feeling uneasy. This week, Clifton did not contact her again.

At 4:55 in the afternoon, Naomi looked at her phone, which had not made any sound, and twitched her lips.

As expected, she was overthinking it...

Jiang Tong was not sure if she was relieved or not. She threw the phone on the table, put on her clothes, and was about to get off work when her superior, Bonnie, suddenly walked out of the office and said to her, "Naomi, there's a charity banquet tonight. You and I will attend it together."

Suddenly, the phone rang. Naomi looked down at the phone screen and saw the word ‘Yu’. She frowned. In the next second, she hung up without hesitation. She looked up at Bonnie and nodded. “Okay.”

...

In the CEO's office on the top floor of the DK Group.

Clifton frowned as he looked at the phone screen that had been hung up.

Was she angry?

...

At 7:00 PM.

A light and melodious music sounded in the banquet hall. Naomi and Bonnie entered the room and picked up two glasses of champagne from the waiters. They looked at the guests who were gathered in groups of two or three and walked towards the familiar faces.

Naomi was not good at such social engagements, so most of the time, Bonnie was the one who spoke. She stood at the side, lowered her gaze, and smiled. She was a good listener.

Even so, she still felt exhausted after a round of walking. The muscles on her face were stiff from laughing. After saying goodbye to Bonnie, she ran to the balcony to get some fresh air.

The cool breeze made her feel much better.

Naomi drank the last mouthful of champagne in her glass. When she looked down, her gaze accidentally fell on the flowerbed outside the balcony. A few pots of lavender instantly locked her sight.

A layer of mist appeared on her eyes. Naomi's heart could not help but throb.

It had been a year. She thought that she had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that a few pots of lavender would easily remind her of it.

Elijah, the name that she had always wanted to forget, once again appeared in her mind. The memories of the past three years also came back to her.

"Naomi, we will always be together."

He would say it every day on every holiday and memorial day.

At that time, Naomi was undoubtedly happy.

However, her happiness had come to an end the day her mother came to find her. She still remembered that woman looking at her with disdain and her words were extremely harsh, “Why don’t you take a piss and take a look at yourself? Who do you think you are? Who do you think we are? Do you think you are worthy of marrying us?”

After experiencing Elijah, Naomi understood what it meant to be compatible with a good family. It was also because of this that she never expected to have a relationship with Clifton.

"Naomi..."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind. Naomi turned around and when she saw who was standing behind her, her expression immediately turned ugly.

Elijah was wearing a black suit. His handsome face had lost its youthfulness and gained a sense of maturity. He quickly reached out and grabbed Naomi, who was about to leave. He looked at her fair and beautiful face in infatuation and frowned in pain, "Naomi, do you really not want to see me?"

"Let go of me!" Naomi could not shake his hand off and could not help but feel angry. She could only lower her voice and say, "Elijah, there is nothing more to talk about between us. If you still remember our past relationship, please don't appear in my sight again. I am very grateful!"

Noticing that someone was looking at them, Naomi decisively shook off Elijah's hand and was about to leave when a red figure suddenly walked over.

The woman had a beautiful and fair face. She was tall and slim, with a pair of beautiful eyes. When she saw Elijah, her eyes lit up. She walked over quickly and wrapped her arms around his arm. A bright smile appeared on her lips. "Rey, Daddy said that he would introduce you to a few uncles. Let's go over quickly!"

The woman was none other than the daughter of the Vilegas Group, Norman. The Vilegas Group was in the jewelry and real estate industry and had a vast amount of assets. The two of them were already publicly recognized as a couple.

It was as if she had just noticed that there was someone else in front of her. Naomi raised her head and looked at Naomi. Her beautiful eyes flashed. She felt that she had seen her before, but she did not know where.

However, due to her instincts as a woman, a sense of danger rose in her heart. The smile on her face froze slightly as she pulled Elijah and asked, "W-what is this?"

Elijah's gaze remained on Naomi the entire time. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is my junior."
