Naomi deliberately took a long sigh and vaguely scrutinized Anna with her gaze. “I’m guessing you didn’t purposely say those things to me, did you, Miss Simms?” Anna was stunned. She immediately denied it and exclaimed, “Of course not! I was just worried that you and Jack would fight. I was too anxious then, so I didn’t understand the question.” Naomi pretended to nod heavily. “Hmm, I understand. Some adults can’t do elementary-level math. It’s normal.” When Anna heard that, her face fluctuated between turning pale and blue. Her fingers clenched so tightly together that her knuckles turned white. That blond chick was indirectly calling her an idiot! Naomi secretly measured Anna up. When she saw how furious Anna was, she could hardly hold back her laughter. Suddenly, Naomi squinted her eyes and placed her hand on Anna’s shoulder. She changed the subject. “Miss Simms, it’s not scary being an idiot in this world. The scary ones are those that hide in the darkness. They don’t even have the courage to stand under the sun, constantly scheming and setting up others in the dark. They are sad and miserable! People like that would surely have a tragic ending. Don’t you think so?” At that, Naomi pretended to accidentally meet Anna’s gaze. Anna’s expressions were extremely ugly. “Miss Naomi, what do you mean by that?” “Nothing.”
Naomi shrugged innocently. Then, she pretended to come to a realization, saying, “Ah, Miss Simms, do you think I was talking about you?”
Facing Naomi’s direct question, Anna looked uneasy. “Are you not?”
“How could I be? I was just casually chatting with you. I’m scolding the evil ones. Don’t take it to heart. Miss Simms, you won’t get angry at me, right?”
Then, Naomi passive-aggressively patted Anna’s shoulders.
Anna’s face fluctuated between different shades of blue before darkening. In the end, she could only reply through gritted teeth, “How could I be angry with you, Miss Naomi?”
“That’s good. Then, I’ll make a move. I won’t disturb you, Miss Simms.”
Naomi smiled at Anna widely. She had to have the upper hand in front of the enemy! Anna, who was almost going mad from anger, could only smile and reply to her, “Stay safe,

Miss Naomi!”
The moment the doors to the lift closed, Anna’s face sank. She was so furious her entire body trembled.
At that moment, a message popped up on her phone. It was from Clarissa. Seeing the message, Anna finally smiled.
‘Stupid chick. I’ll let you be smug for a few more days.’
Outside the hospital, Naomi sneezed heavily. Coincidentally, Uncle Zach called her. “Miss Green, Senior Stone from Royal City is here. Come back quick!” “Senior Stone? Who?” Naomi scrunched her nose. She did not react in time. Uncle Zach sounded anxious. “Him! Gerald Stone! One of the top ten doctors!”
“Ah, Senior Stone? Go welcome him! I’m almost there!” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing Gerald Stone’s name, Naomi’s eyes widened. She immediately hailed a taxi and rushed straight to the factory. She had often heard of a legend from her mother when she was young. Gerald Stone was one of the titans in the traditional medicine world. He was the top-level boss. However, why did he suddenly visit Shaw Pharmaceuticals?
