Naomi smiled but didn’t answer.
She had been in a coma for over a decade and had lost all her friends. Even now, she wasn’t very
comfortable being around people yet.
When they were happily discussing, Naomi made an excuse and left. One of the colleagues was
obviously curious. “Why do I feel that she doesn’t really like talking to people?”
“I noticed that too. Other than talking about work, she’s usually alone for meals and work.”
“Is she anti-social?”
In the evening, at the Topaz mansion…
Naomi brought some files home and saw
Anthony sitting in the living room on a call with someone.
When he saw she was back, he said something, hung up, and turned around.” Nelly, you’re finally home.
Is work tiring for you?”
Naomi shook her head. “It’s not. It’s quite relaxing.”
“Great, I was worried. If this job is too taxing for you, you can come work in my company, and I’ll arrange
for a relaxing job for you. “Anthony looked worried. “You’ve been coming home late lately, and I’m
worried that you can’t handle it.”
Naomi smiled and waved her hand. “The company didn’t ask us to work overtime. I wanted to do it.”
Anthony nodded and recalled something.” By the way, I’m going to the Persian Gulf in a few days.
Remember to take your meals and don’t get too tired, okay?”
Anthony left with his bag after saying that.
Naomi walked him to the garden and saw him get into his car. She turned around and closed the door
but noticed that another car was parked where his car was not long after her father’s car left.
A woman rolled down the window and asked, “Is Mr. Topaz around?”
Naomi answered with a smile, “My father just left. Can I help you?”
“….” The woman in the car paused, looked away from her, and didn’t reply. She slowly rolled up the
window and drove off.
She looked into the rearview mirror and saw Naomi standing on the spot. Then she tightened her grip on
the steering wheel. Naomi walked into the villa and saw that the caretaker had prepared dinner. She
mentioned the woman who was asking for her father to the caretaker, and the caretaker was startled.
“What does she look like?”
Naomi answered, “A classy lady.”
The caretaker’s expression changed as she looked at Naomi. “Did that woman… say something to you?’
Naomi shook her head and asked out of curiosity, “She just asked if dad was in. Mrs. Irving, do you know
her?” .
Mrs. Irving smiled awkwardly. “Of course not. She’s probably Mr. Topaz’s business partner or something.”
Naomi nodded and didn’t ask further.
When. Mrs. Irving left, she called Anthony with her phone. “Sir, she came over again after you left and
has seen Ms. Topaz.”
Anthony was quiet for a moment. “Thank you. She didn’t say anything to Nelly, did she?”
“Ms. Topaz said she only asked if you were around,” Mrs. Irving replied. Anthony relaxed. “We’ll talk
when I’m back.” The next day at Soul…
