C9 Everyone Was an Adult

Naomi did not even bother with them. "I'm sorry, but I've been busy with work recently. I'm not responsible for your engagement page. I'm afraid I won't have time to attend the two of you."

"How could that be? We paid for the page and invited an old classmate to attend the banquet. I think your boss won't refuse."

Naomi sneered. Did you think that New Edge was owned by your family? So what if you bought the page? If there was any big news, the chairman would still pull you down. She had seen this kind of thing many times. The chairman did not lack money, so the beauty that he pursued was also something that impressed her. However, it did not include his hairstyle.

Naomi ignored them. She tidied up the office and wanted to kick them out.

"Why? Are you not coming or are you feeling guilty and don't want to come?" Norma was aggressive. Elijah was pulling her from the side.

"Naomi, I'm sorry. We went the wrong way." Elijah's face was yellow. He still loved Naomi, but due to his mother's pressure, he had no choice but to get engaged to Norma. He hoped that Naomi could wait for him.

Seeing that Norma was being pulled away by Elijah, Naomi spat out two words quietly, "A match made in heaven."

"Hehe, what? Your old lover is getting engaged now, but the female lead is not you. Naomi, what do you think?"

She did not know how long Bertie had been standing outside the door, but she had heard a lot. In short, she was sensitive. She immediately grabbed the key. She was a university classmate. She did not believe that she did not have anything.

Naomi felt that this woman had appeared out of nowhere. Her words were also so gossipy and colorful, "May I ask what does this have to do with you?"

"Tsk tsk, Naomi, if I were you, I would go up and tear that woman's hypocritical face to shreds. Oh, hehehehe."

Naomi could not stand the chicken-like scream, "So you have always been so lowly."

After taking the documents and leaving the office, she left behind a very angry Bertie.

Lowly? Can't get a man to say that she was lowly? Bertie raised the crystal table on Naomi's desk and wanted to smash it to the ground, but when she thought of its value, she angrily hammered the table and walked away.

Naomi was about to go home after working overtime. On the way, she saw Elijah again. She felt a wave of disgust in her heart. She just wanted to ignore him, but he was obviously here for her. He had no intention of letting her go.

"Naomi, wait a moment. I have something to say to you." Elijah was serious as he chased after Naomi.

Naomi stopped in her tracks. She did not want to get entangled with him. "Tell me, and then you can leave."

"Leave Clifton. He is a dangerous man."

Naomi did not know what to say. She could not make her own decisions. Why did she have to interfere with her life?

"Everyone here is an adult. I don't need Mr. Dickerson to worry about me."

Elijah saw that Naomi was about to leave and wanted to keep her. "Clifton is such an outstanding man. How could he stay for you? How could he fall for you?"

Naomi did not seem to have any intention of stopping. "We are no longer related. Yes, I am not that outstanding. You don't need to care about whether he likes me or not. Elijah, we are no longer related. Let's just leave it at that."

At night, Naomi was tossed and turned in her bed until midnight. She could not fall asleep. Today was Elijah and Norma's engagement banquet, and Clifton did not come.

She did not know when she would fall asleep. When the second alarm rang, she rubbed her messy hair and forgot to turn off the alarm. It was the weekend.

She also had an appointment with Bonnie to go shopping.

After washing up and putting on light makeup, she left the house. Although she was well-informed, Naomi still had the habit of buying books and reading newspapers.

When she saw the headlines of the day, two-thirds of them were occupied by photos of the CEO of the Cobb Group and the Heavenly Queen eating together. There was also a piece of text to express her thoughts on the news editor. On the other hand, the engagement banquet between Elijah and Norma was like an ant hiding in a small section.

Naomi immediately felt relieved. She knew that Clifton and the Heavenly Queen would never be together. She even thought that the side of Clifton in the newspaper was very pleasing to the eye.

"What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?" Bonnie was holding a cup of drink. She was dressed in a Bohemian outfit and looked very charming.

"Look." Naomi handed the newspaper to Bonnie. She immediately understood what was going on.

Bonnie glanced at the newspaper and instantly understood. "Our boss is also a god. This time, Bertie will have to hold back for a while. Let's go."

Bonnie and Naomi walked around while shopping. When they passed by a high-class restaurant, Naomi felt hungry. "Sister Bonnie, I'll treat you to a meal today. Come in."

"Wow, so generous. Could it be that he is up to no good?" Bonnie joked, but she did not reject him.

"Yes, yes. I'm going to sell you to a certain human trafficker to make a fortune." Naomi was in a good mood, and Bonnie had taken good care of her. It was not a big deal to treat her to a meal.

This was a pure French restaurant. The service was good and the environment was quiet.

"Hey, look." Bonnie glanced at Naomi.

Naomi looked at the two people sitting diagonally opposite them. Weren't they Clifton and the famous天后?

Obviously, Clifton had also seen her.

Naomi immediately had the idea of interviewing the Heavenly Queen.

"Sister Bonnie, I'll go to the bathroom first. I'll be back soon."

Just as Naomi left, Clifton followed her. Before she could enter the ladies' room, she was pressed against the door by Clifton. He licked her earlobe in an ambiguous manner. His breathing was heavy and ambiguous.
