Chapter 5
It was so painful...
"I don't have the right to be unreasonable, who would take pity on me anyway?" Natalie thought.
She was still half a year away from graduating from college, and she still had to save up for her own tuition fees.
Natalie gritted her teeth and struggled to get out of the presidential suite. She didn't even look at the check.
After she left, a cleaner came to clean up the room.
When she saw the check and the amount on it, she jumped in shock. She picked up the check and handed it over to her superior.
The hotel staff was able to reach Benjamin Simpson by phone.
After hanging up the phone, Benjamin frowned.
How could Mr. Whitlock have dropped a check written with such a large amount in the hotel he had just checked in to?
After Tobias Whitlock finished his meeting, Benjamin went to look for him.
He handed the check to Tobias with both hands and said, "Mr. Whitlock, the hotel called just now and said that it was you who left this in the hotel suite."
Tobias glanced at the check and his face was passive. "That woman was really lovely in bed." He commented silently.
After all, he had never met a woman who could make him lose his self-control, something he was always proud of.
It was a pity that this woman was too fond of playing tricks; that made him feel a little disgusted.
He disliked those women who thought they could pull tricks out of their sleeves without him knowing.
"Did she think that I would show her any interest if she refused to accept the check?"
"I'll give you this check as your bonus for this year." Tobias said lightly.
Benjamin did not show much emotion on his face. After being with Tobias for a long time, he had learned to stay calm and collected.
"Mr. Whitlock, do you have any other duties this afternoon? Are you going to check on the coffee farm?" Benjamin asked.
In the Caliway Coffee Farm, there was a kind of coffee called the "Lion Tongue", which was specially made with the coffee extract of top-grade coffee beans. Its price was undoubtedly expensive.
Tobias had tasted the "Lion Tongue" and felt that it tasted good, so he wanted to acquire the company.
"Okay, you can arrange that for me," Tobias said.
When Natalie rushed over to the coffee farm, it was already afternoon. It was midsummer at the moment. Even though the time was almost four o'clock, the sun was still shining high, like a huge fireball scorching the earth. However, it was precisely because of this unforgiving weather that the salary for this job was particularly high.
"Why are you so late!" The woman in charge glared at Natalie.
Natalie did not speak. She quickly changed into her work clothes and began to turn over the coffee beans.
In the Caliway Coffee Farm, they retained the most primitive methods to make coffee. The coffee beans were repeatedly roasted by hand under the scorching sun, so that its fragrance could be induced.
"Natalie, are you okay?" A man, who was dressed in clothes that covered his skin, walked to her side and asked in a gentle voice.
Natalie shook her head and said, "I'm okay."
She and Sebastian Hoffman were in the same university. Both of them worked and studied hard in the same way, so they were quite close to each other.
He was also the only man in the group of workers.
While holding the wooden rake, Natalie kept turning the coffee beans, and waves of heat were hitting her non-stop.

She gritted her teeth and thought that she had to stick to her job no matter how uncomfortable she was.
At this time, there was a commotion among the staff.
"Natalie, it seems that someone is patrolling the coffee farm." Sebastian said.
Natalie gave him a vague reply.
There were always people patrolling the coffee farm. Why was it so noisy today?
"He looks so good!"
"Oh my god, he's so handsome! How can there be such a handsome man!"
"I think I know him! He is the president of the YS Group!"
The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves.
Someone poked Natalie with his hand and said, "Look at him, an amazingly gorgeous guy. It will be hard to see someone like him again for the rest of your life."
Natalie felt more and more uncomfortable as if she was being baked in a huge oven.
She wanted to say something in response, but before she could say a word, she collapsed to the ground.
