Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Then she took off her overcoat. The temperature in the restaurant was at least 50 degrees warmer.

Sherri felt comfortable in her thin clothes.

However, the hickey on her neck was exposed.

Natalie immediately looked around and threw her scarf at Sherri, “Wrap it around your neck,” she said

softly.

Sherri was alarmed by Natalie and looked at the door hurriedly. Fortunately, her brother had not arrived

yet. She took out her cell phone and checked her neck. She saw the hickey when she lowered her

collar. Sherri sighed in relief and was glad she wore a turtleneck today.

She had already put on some concealer in the afternoon. It was probably rubbed off by the turtleneck.

Sherri took out the concealer from her bag and squeezed some to apply it thickly over the hickey. Then

she wrapped the scarf around her neck just in case.

Sherri looked at Natalie’s neck after putting on her protective measures. The latter’s neck was spotless.

She could not help but curse at Hackett Wilson for being recklessly careless and leaving behind

evidence after their rendezvous. “Trevon Wilson is a decent guy, He didn’t do anything to your neck.”

Natalie chuckled and paused what she was doing. Sherri did not see the hickeys on her chest; Natalie

was in worse condition than

her.

Sherri would not think that Trevon was a decent guy if she found out.

Before long. Edward Landor arrived.

He wore a black down jacket and immediately spotted Natalie by the table when he entered the

restaurant.

Edward smiled and walked over. He apologized as he removed his jacket, “Sorry, I’m a little late!”

Natalie looked up and smiled. “No problem. We just arrived not long ago. We ordered some of your

favorite dishes. It’s almost ready

to eat.”

It was just a faint smile, but Edward felt like Natalie had unwittingly relieved him of the fatigue from a

day of hard work.

The corners of his lips curled into a handsome arc, and the dimples on both sides of his cheeks were

blindingly charming.

He was stunned for a moment.

Meanwhile, Sherri’s eyes were fixed on the pizza. Her eyes flickered. “Brother, hurry up. Let’s dive in

now!”

When Edward returned to his senses, he turned around and saw his sister wearing a scarf in a warm

surroundings. He thought she was out of her mind and wanted to remove it.

Sherri reacted violently and hid behind a sofa while grabbing the scarf tightly with both hands. “What

are you doing?”

Edward narrowed his eyes; his eyebrows twitched. “What do you think? What’s wrong with you? Why

are you wearing such a thick scarf and eating pizza? Hurry up and take it off!”

Edward sounded disgusted.

Natalie held back her laughter as she continued to eat. Sherri was silly and adorable at the same time.

“I’m not hot. I can’t stand the cold, Sherri exclaimed.

Edward thought his sister had gone crazy and would not let up. “Hurry up and remove it. I hope you

have not gone crazy.”

Sherri pouted and resisted. “I won’t. What’s wrong with the scarf? Mind your own business and stay

away from me.”

Edward wanted to smack her head but was stopped by Natalie. “Let her be, Edward. I gave her that

scarf. Perhaps she likes it because it’s a gift!””

Natalie said with a straight face like a pro.

Edward relented and pointed his finger at Sherri. “Watch out if you try to hide anything terrible from me!

You little scoundrell”

“Cough, cough!” Natalie choked on her drink when she heard Edward’s warning.

It was Sherri’s turn to gloat while she held back her laughter.

Edward noticed the two women had behaved strangely since he arrived and kept making eye contact.

However, the two best friends had been like this since they were young, so he did not pay much

attention to it.

Halfway through the meal, Natalie said, “The department director asked me to go overseas today.”

Edward and Sherri were taken aback by her announcement.

Edward paused eating and asked calmly, “Is it talent reserve training?”

Sherri raised her voice in surprise. “You’re going overseas? Where are you going? When did this

happen? Are you abandoning me, Natalie?”

Natalie was speechless. The commotion drew the attention of other diners in the restaurant.

“Can you keep your voice down? You’re making me sound like I’m having an affair. Shut up and listen,”

Natalie was annoyed

“Do you know about talent reserve training, Edward?” Natalie asked. She had worked in Athana for

over two years and had never

heard of such a program before, not to mention a yearly quota.

Edward slowly put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth. He leaned back on the sofa, looked at

Natalie, and realized she had grown up to be a beautiful woman.

“Yes, I heard from my friends in the industry that Athana wants to develop its own medical team. That’s

why such talents are sent overseas for knowledge and technology exchange. Essentially, medical staff

returning from overseas will be promoted immediately to a director or vice director, department director,

or specialist. It’s equivalent to slaving away in the hospital for many years or even your entire life.”

He paused and asked. “What’s your decision, Natalie? Do you want to go?” He clenched his hands in

his lap.

Natalie rested her chin on her hand and looked at Sherri; she was confused. “I haven’t thought about it

yet. I just want to find out more. There’s still a week for me to consider, there’s no hurry.”

“OMG! What am I going to do if you go abroad? I will be all alone. Brother, why don’t you arrange a

spot for me to further my studies. with Natalie?” said Sherri.

Edward glared at his sister.

Sherri instantly shut up, not wanting to anger her brother.
