Chapter 982: Chapter 982 Control

Naomi laughed at his words.

“What’s the matter? Why do you look so well-behaved today? Have you done something bad behind my back?” Naomi asked jokingly.

Nelson was nervous for a moment, “What?”

“That’s what my colleague said! When a boyfriend suddenly treats his girlfriend well, he must have done something bad to her!”

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, “Then, what wrongful act could I have possibly done?”

Naomi thought for a moment and said, “Who knows? You could be having an affair behind my back, or maybe you’re hooking up with another girl!”

Exasperated, Nelson retorted, “How would I have the time?”

“Oh, so it’s because you don’t have the time to do so. So, you would definitely hook up with a girl if you had the spare time?”

Nelson was rendered speechless.

“No, no! Don’t get me wrong! I’m innocent!”

Naomi let out a laugh.

“I’m just kidding! You must be really tired from work, right? You look exhausted. Do you feel better after having a quarrel with me like this?”

Nelson suddenly understood that Naomi was intentionally bickering with him!

Indeed, he felt much better.

Looking back at the time when they were both young and first met, Naomi had come across as quiet on the outside, but she was actually quite a helpful girl!

Nelson suddenly reached out and held Naomi’s hand.

“Thank you, Naomi!”

Naomi was surprised by his politeness.

“Aw, you don’t have to be so polite towards me.”

After they chatted for a while, Naomi got up and said, “I have to get back to work now. What about you? If you are free tonight, let’s have dinner!”

Nelson shook his head, “No, I don’t think I can make it. I’ve been incredibly busy lately.”

“Oh, I see,” Naomi sounded a little disappointed. “You should rest more then.”

He watched as Naomi left.

Then, Nelson spoke to himself in a low voice, “It’s not that I don’t want to have dinner with you, but that Amos is keeping a good eye on you right now!”

In reality, what Nelson said was true.

As soon as Naomi arrived at her office, she saw Clint waiting for her at the door.

Clint asked her anxiously, “Miss Naomi, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for ages.”

Naomi shook her head and said, “Assistant Zuckerberg, please just call me Naomi. I went downstairs to buy something just now. Is there anything you need?”

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that Mr. Granger wants you to go home with him after work.”

“Dad wants me to do that? What’s the matter? I thought he didn’t want me to go home with him?”

Clint had no idea what else to say.

Therefore, he answered, “I’m not sure about that. Anyways, please just do so. I have something else to tend to, so I have to go now.”

Naomi frowned and could only put the matter aside.

After a busy afternoon, Naomi went straight out the main entrance after work. As she arrived at the entrance, she saw Amos’ car parked by the roadside. As the driver saw Naomi, he greeted her, and opened the car door for her.

“Miss Naomi, please get in!”

Most of the employees of the company knew Naomi’s identity, but it was the first time for them to see her get into Amos’s car. They all stared at her with envious looks on their faces.

Naomi had tried so hard to establish herself as a friendly and approachable person in the company, yet it was all ruined by her own father, Amos, in the blink of an eye.

With a sigh, Naomi got into the car.

Amos was sitting in the back seat, reading some documents. When he saw her entering the car, he didn’t move at all. Naomi only spoke after the car started moving.

Naomi only spoke after the car started moving, “Dad! What’s the matter?”

Amos did not raise his head as he replied, “It’s nothing. I just think that it’s inconvenient for you to take a taxi home every single day. You can follow me home in the future.”

“Dad, it’s okay. I’m just an ordinary employee in the company. This will put me under a lot of pressure.”

Amos frowned, “Pressure? As far as I know, they all know that you are my daughter. They even call you Missy every day! What’s the problem?”

Naomi was speechless.

She had not expected Amos to even know about that.

“But, I…”

“No buts! Keep your opinions to yourself. In the company, you aren’t my daughter, but just an employee. Some problems should be discussed at home! However, you are still my daughter outside the company, so you can’t say no to me!”

Naomi was taken aback.

Naomi thought to herself, “If you want to control me, just say so! What’s the point of beating around the bush?”

…

When they got home, Naomi went straight to her room, feeling a little upset.

Eudora looked at her suspiciously, asking, “What happened?”

Amos walked over and held Eudora’s hand, “How are you feeling?”

Eudora shook her head, “Come on, I’m not an 80-year-old woman. Why are you so worried? I feel much better now! As for you and Naomi, why did the two of you come back home together today? She seems unhappy.”

Amos said lightly, “She’s fine! She’s just throwing a childish tantrum. She’ll be fine in a while. You should take good care of yourself, and don’t worry about anything else. By the way, isn’t Sugar Bun going to give us a video call today?”

Amos changed the topic.

Eudora had totally forgotten about it because she had been preoccupied with Naomi’s problems! She immediately remembered the video after being reminded by Amos.

“If you didn’t remind me, I would have totally forgotten about it. Let me change into something nice right now!”

She had not gone out for the whole day as something was bothering her. So, she only wore pajamas the whole time, looking messy.

Amos looked at her and said, “You still look gorgeous.”

Eudora glared at him and said, “Oh, don’t tease me! Sugar Bun doesn’t call us so often. If he sees me like this, he’ll be worried! I need to clean myself up!”

After that, she went upstairs happily.

Amos hurriedly followed behind her. “Let me help you.”

…

In the night, Sugar Bun made a video call on time.

“Mom!” On the other end of the phone, Sugar Bun was in good spirits. “I’m fine, the woman who Dad hired is taking good care of me. Mom, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Eudora looked at the screen with her eagle eyes.

She couldn’t help but nag, “Why does your face look a little thinner?”

Sugar Bun touched his chin and said, “Oh, I think it’s because I got a little sick when I just arrived here. I’m feeling much better now though!”

“You fell sick? Why didn’t you tell me?” Eudora was worried.

“Well, I’m fine now!” Sugar Bun said with a smile. “I’ve sent my exam results to Dad. I hope I didn’t bring shame on the family!”

Amos nodded and said, “You did great!”

Eudora paid his results no attention as she was only concerned about his health.

“Take good care of yourself over there! If something happens to you, you must let me know!”

“Alright!” Sugar Bun smiled. “Where’s Naomi?”

Only then did Eudora turn around and call Naomi who had been moody the whole time.

“Naomi, come and speak to Sugar Bun.”

Naomi walked over and took the phone.

“What’s the matter? Are you not used to not having me there to bully you?”

Sugar Bun wore a mysterious expression as he asked, “Mom, can I have a chat with Naomi alone?”

Since the two siblings had always shared a close relationship, Eudora just waved her hand and said, “Alright, go ahead!”

After Eudora and Amos left, Sugar Bun asked Naomi mysteriously, “Naomi, how are things between you and Benedict?”
