Chapter 9

Suddenly, she was verbally accused through the phone. She was clueless as to why she was being harassed over the phone, so she asked. "Have you dialed the wrong number?" She frowned, and a sudden slander made her very uncomfortable. "I dialed the wrong number? I am scolding you, Natasha Quinn. I did not find you so annoying at school. Now I know that you are a living bitch. Not only did you rob other people's boyfriends, but you also said bad things about Thea behind your back!" The girl on the phone was furious. It was as if she wanted to drill out from her mobile phone to strangle her. It was Thea Lander on the other line. They got her phone number through Maxine. After finally getting Natasha's contact information, she bombed her mobile phone with a text. She called immediately, but at that time, Natasha's mobile phone ran out of battery, and she did not receive those rants and calls she had sent. Natasha Quinn knew well. It seemed that Maxine did not let go of her. She kept slandering her to others behind her back, spreading bad things she did not do, and making everyone hate her. "I have never done those things, and I am not afraid of you." Natasha Quinn was too lazy to talk to people who carry out personal attacks. After all, not everyone could keep a clear mind and listen to the explanation of the truth, so why waste her time on those people? After saying the sentence, Natasha Quinn hung up the phone directly regardless of the swearing of the opposite person, and then she added Thea to the blocklist cleanly. Her pleasant mood was destroyed by the phone call she received. Instead of enjoying the delicious cake, she lost her appetite. She was puzzled. Why did Maxine, her best friend who was so close to her before, suddenly become like that? She not only quarreled with her but also deliberately discredited her image in front of others. She felt a little uncomfortable at the thought that her best friend had betrayed her. "What's the matter?" Edward, who just came out from the bath, looked unhappy. When he first went in to take a bath, she was still delighted. What happened to her? Hearing her husband asked, she felt that her grievances had sublimated dozens of times, and her heart became more uncomfortable. Her nose was sour, and she almost cried. "I just feel a little uncomfortable. My best friend seems to betray me." Her eyes were red. Although there were no tears on her face, the tears swirled in her eyes as if they were going to fall any second. "If there is anything that cannot be solved, you can tell me, and I will help you solve it." He did not particularly understand girls' minds, but he knew that as long as she told him he needed him, he could immediately stand up and protect her. Hearing what her husband just said, her heart began to beat, and her mood became more stable. Under his comfort, her mood became much better. She finished eating the cake with him and went back to her room to sleep. But he still did not go to bed. Instead, he asked Sam where his wife went that day. Although he did not like her to go out and find a part-time job, he also knew in his heart that if he played like that all the time, his wife would feel uncomfortable. In that case, it was better to let her do what she wanted to do. "Miss Natasha seems to work in a luxury store owned by Hendrix's family," Sam told him about her recent whereabouts and silently felt her strength in his heart. After all, he had a direct statement that he did not like her to go out to find a part-time job. But she still dared to find a part-time job without informing him, and she was also the master who was not afraid of things. He heard the report, and there was no particular expression on his face. He pushed a wheelchair and entered his room. She got up in the morning and completely regained her good mood while Edward went out early. She pulled herself together and worked hard. She could not seem to remember that she suffered a heinous harassment phone call and was betrayed by her friend the other day. Knowing that Natasha worked in a luxury store, Maxine had been intentionally or unintentionally looking for trouble. Fortunately, Natasha made excuses to avoid entertaining Maxine before, but that day, there were employees in the store asking for leave, and Natasha had no excuse, so she had to bite the bullet and entertain her. Even if she was extremely reluctant in her heart, she could only give up. "Natasha, I advise you to resign now. If you break things here, you can not afford it." Maxine's original face had been completely revealed, unlike the previous one. Natasha didn't bother to be angry with people like Maxine. After all, the work in this luxury shop was decent and easy, and the salary was high. Except for occasionally meeting people like Maxine, everything was fine. Natasha would not resign. "If you will not buy anything, I will entertain other guests." Natasha did not want to bicker with Maxine, and always kept the official tone that an employee should have. "I am afraid that I will cause you envy if I buy something very expensive here. After all, I am Jake's girlfriend now, and my identity is much more noble than yours." Maxine had great confidence in her heart. Although she was not Jake's girlfriend that time, she was living without any flaws. Besides, Maxine felt that as long as she mentioned Jake in front of Natasha, she would tear open a scar on Natasha, and she would be happy once Natasha felt uncomfortable. Natasha, of course, knew why Maxine mentioned Jake from time to time. Was it not just to stimulate her? Natasha thought clearly when she and Jake quarreled, there was no possibility that they would get back together. In addition, she had became the wife of Edward, how could she still think about other men? Natasha did not want to talk anymore. Maxine was not still ready to buy after so long, so she went to entertain other customers, which were also in line. When she saw Natasha left, Maxine hurriedly asked Natasha to help her get a new bag. Then she kept thinking about other ways to deliberately make things difficult for Natasha in her mind. At that moment when Natasha went to get her bag, Maxine saw Jake who came in a formal suit. She did not know why he suddenly appeared in the same place. But if Jake and Natasha made up, wouldn't all the things she had done before be in vain? So Maxine thought about something again. "This bag is hand-made in Australia, and there are only five in the country." Natasha introduced the bag according to the rules in the store. Maxine stared at the bag and reached for it. So Natasha handed the bag over. Naturally, the bag would reach Maxine's hand, but Natasha did not know what kind of wind Maxine inhaled that she deliberately pretended not to hold it firmly so the bag fell to the ground. "Oh, why did the precious bag fall on the ground?!" She picked up the bag from the ground as she spoke, looking very distressed. Natasha felt like Maxine was stupid, and wanted to ask Maxine why she did not hold the bag but she  heard Maxine opened her mouth.
