Vera Wave looked at the USB drive in her hand, casually put it in her pocket, and took the elevator upstairs.
The assistant saw her and imdiately ca over to greet her.
"Miss Dalton."
"Co in with !"
Sally Dalton led the assistant into the office, promptly pulled out several reports and docunts, carefully signed her na, and handed them over.
"Make two copies, fax one to Singapore, and hand the other to the archives departnt for storage!"
She was responsible for these docunts, and the request from Singapore was urgent, as she had just rushed back from the cetery.
The assistant left, and the phone on the desk rang again. She reached out and picked up the receiver. It was an employee from Singapore calling to ask her questions about company affairs.
As soon as she hung up the call, the cell phone rang, this ti it was the wedding dress company calling to confirm the ti for her to try on a wedding dress.
After a struggle, she finally finished with those tasks when an assistant ca in with another docunt.
"Miss Dalton, this docunt is pressing, can you sign it on behalf of Mr. Leafcastle?"
"Alright, let take a look!"
Sally Dalton reached out to take the docunt.
After finally handling everything, when she could finally catch her breath, she had already forgotten about the USB drive she had casually put in her pocket, rely continuing with other work.
By noon, Nathan Leafcastle had co back, and the two of them had a simple working lunch before going into the conference room for a eting discussing the Jade River project bidding.
A eting that lasted until dusk.
Sitting in Nathan Leafcastle’s car, heading back to the villa, Sally Dalton felt entirely fatigued, just lazily leaning back in the seat looking drowsy.
"What do you want for dinner?" Nathan Leafcastle asked while driving.
"Whatever, I’m not that hungry."
Stopping at a red light, Nathan Leafcastle looked at her sideways.
"You don’t look well; are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it’s nothing!"
Sally Dalton gently shook her head.
Seeing her sowhat pale complexion, Nathan Leafcastle reached over to feel her forehead. Sensing she was cool and not feverish, he relaxed and continued driving.
When they arrived back at the villa, Sally Dalton took off her jacket, and the servant imdiately ca over to take her coat.
"Shall I wash this for you?"
She replied casually, stepping towards the stairs, "Please make so porridge; I’d like sothing light."
"Okay."
The servant agreed, turned to the laundry room, placed her coat in the washing machine, turned it on, and then walked into the kitchen.
A mont later, the servant ca upstairs to call them for dinner.
The two went downstairs together, sat at the dining table, and Sally Dalton took the porridge bowl handed over by the servant, took a bite, and Nathan Leafcastle brought up the Jade River project.
"Any response from Vera?"
ntioning Vera Wave suddenly made Sally Dalton rember sothing, she quickly put down the bowl and looked towards the servant carrying the dishes out.
"Xiao Li, where’s the USB drive from my coat?"
"USB drive, what USB drive?" Xiao Li looked puzzled, "I didn’t see any USB drive; I put your coat in the washing machine to wash!"
"Oh no!"
Sally Dalton exclaid and rushed into the laundry room, looking urgent, and Nathan Leafcastle hurried over too.
Opening the washing machine, she pulled out her coat, felt the pockets finding no USB drive, then took out all the clothes to finally see the USB drive at the bottom. She quickly bent down to fish the USB drive out of the water.
