My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1181

A few days passed in Greene City.

The design drawings had been finalized. Naomi was also incredibly sensitive to the fact that Lindsay was in a depressed mood. She had originally planned to wait until the matter was over before talking to her about the promotion.

Lindsay had always done incredibly well at her job, and Naomi did not want to lose a capable staff due to that incident. She planned to find an opportunity to announce the promotion during the meeting in the afternoon.

With that in mind, she called Emma to discuss the matter.

After Emma finished preparing the document, it was already noon. She stretched her body and stood up.

“I'm starving. Hurry up! How could you let me starve to death?"

Naomi hurriedly apologized, "It's my fault! | forgot about the time! Let's go, I'll treat you to a delicious meal!" "It's a deal! Don't be stingy with your money by then!" "I absolutely won't!"

The two talked as they walked out. Coincidentally, they saw Lindsay coming out. Emma knew that Lindsay was feeling troubled, therefore she took the initiative to greet her. “Lindsay, have you eaten yet?"

Lindsay seemed to be thinking about something when she was greeted by Emma. She was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.

"Not yet..."

"Then, let's go together!"

Emma took a look at Naomi and invited her on her own initiative.

Naomi's heart was instantly warmed. Only her close friends like Emma would understand what she was thinking. "We're going for barbecue. Are you okay with that?”

Lindsay nodded and said, "| know a good barbecue place nearby!"

"Then, let's go there!"

The three of them quickly got into the car, and Emma took the initiative to chat with Lindsay along the way. At first, Lindsay was quite worried, but after they chatted for a while, she felt much better.

Emma started the conversation, "It isn't easy to be a leader too. Even leaders have their own problems." “However, what we want is to make the best of it, right?" she added.

"That's right!" Lindsay nodded.

“Plus, everyone has their own strengths. Perhaps there are other places that are more suitable for them?"

Since Naomi was going to announce the promotion in the afternoon, it would not make it less of a surprise to announce it to her right then.

Naomi liked to eat spicy food and the three of them ordered a mixed- flavored set of chicken wings. Emma was a foodie so she did not waste the opportunity to order all sorts of side dishes. The three of them ate as they chatted. They were like old friends who had parted ways for a long time.

Lindsay, on the other hand, suddenly fell silent as she ate.

Naomi asked curiously, "What's wrong? Don't you like the food?”

"No, I..."

Before Lindsay finished her words, a waiter came over, saying, "Excuse me! Would you like to add more dishes?"

The waiter was holding a menu in his hands. Seeing that they were finishing their dishes, he came over to ask them if they would like to order more food.

In his other hand, he was holding a boiling kettle, used to serve tea for the customers. Steam was coming out of the mouth of the kettle and the water was obviously freshly boiled.

Naomi subconsciously pulled Lindsay over, saying, "Be careful..." Lindsay opened her mouth, but in the next second, she suddenly shouted. "Be carefull”

Before Naomi could look up, she felt a stream of heat coming in her direction. Her instinct and alertness from practicing self- defense made her react fast. She subconsciously shielded herself and Lindsay with a plate.

However, even so, her arm was still burned, and Lindsay's arm was not spared either.

Emma shouted, "What are you doing?"

Emma shouted. Her heart was aching for the both of them. The waiter just kept apologizing at them. The waiter just kept apologizing to them, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! | didn't mean to do that!"

The manager heard the commotion and came over, "I'm sorry, this is negligence on our part. Go to the hospital as soon as possible!"

“Are you alright?" Emma looked at Naomi with pain in her heart.

It hurt so much. Naomi felt that the hot tea was slowly corroding her flesh inch-by inch. She gritted her teeth and looked at Lindsay next to her with concern.

“Are you okay?"

Lindsay was in so much pain that she could not speak.

Just then, the manager asked someone to bring over some ice cubes. “Hurry up and apply some ice on it to ease the pain."

Naomi gave Lindsay her cold compress. Lindsay refused in a hurry, "Miss. George, your injury is quite severe. Don't worry about me!"

"I'm fine. I'm not afraid of pain!"

Lindsay looked at Naomi seriously, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. In the past, she had only thought of Naomi as a boss. She thought that Naomi had only success in her eyes and did not care about what others thought.

However, at the moment, she seemed to be different from Lindsay's initial impression.

"What's wrong? Is my face disfigured?"

Naomi touched her face.

Emma swatted her, "Shut up, what are you talking about? Let's go, I'll send you two to the hospital!"NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

After they left, a man's face appeared in the corner.

"What should we do? The tea was not poured onto her face! Will the boss be mad at us?"

"The boss only mentioned teaching her a lesson. | think her injury is quite severe! Let's go before we get caught..." Half an hour later, Naomi came out of the hospital wrapped like a mummy.

Emma was walking ahead of her.

She murmured, "I told you to stay in the hospital, but you refused."

“It was just a burn. It's not like | have a broken bone. Why should | stay in the hospital?" "Didn't you hear what the doctor said? You need to watch what you eat and rest more!" "Yes, yes, | heard that!"

"Bullsh*t! Who said that it was just a small burn? In fact, your whole ar and neck were uineatltahetdSctor dant eal that, until when were you planning to hide it? When will you start treating yourself better?" Please read the original content at .

Naomi felt that her brain was going to explode!

“Alright, alright, | know I'm in the wrong. Don't nag me anymore, please!"

Lindsay, who was next to them, looked at them as they talked to each other.

"I'm sorry, Miss George."

Naomi was stunned, "Why are you apologizing to me? This is an accident. It's not your fault!" Lindsay lowered her head and said nothing. Naomi spoke again.

Naomi spoke again, "Is your injury okay? Take a few days off and rest at home!"

Lindsay shook her head and said, "It's okay. Only a little hot water gotsnta me. | don't need to ret bnyrnore Mids ele Miss Fisher is right. You should go back and have a rest!" Please read the original content at .

Naomi was unwilling to do that, "| have something important to do in the afternoon!" "I'll announce the matter on your behalf. It's about Lindsay's promotion, right? I'll help you. You'd better go back quickly!" Lindsay was stunned, "I've been promoted?"

"Yes! We planned this a few days ago! Miss George and | both thin that you're rea sllabteands table fennaniagérnent! That's why we decided to promote you to the position of manager of the design department!” Please read the original content at .

"But, I..." Lindsay was flattered. "I don't have the ability..." "Who said so?"

Naomi shook her head. "Everyone has something they're good at. You can't invalidate yourself just because of one or two failures! Believe me, you have more to offer!"

Lindsay had no idea what to say for a moment, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. “Alright, you don't need to say or think about anything. I'm a little tired. I'll make my leave first!"

Naomi was not used to such situations. She was really afraid of other people's gratitude, therefore she fled.
