Luis was deeply shocked. He had never seen so much money in his two lives. Considering that Natalie could only earn a minimum of 10 million dollars in her lifetime, and that she was only around 30 years old, 2 million dollars should be a very large sum for her.
If the loss of wealth cannot be reversed, it may also affect one's fortune.
After withdrawing his power, another wave of dizziness washed over him. Luis felt a little tired, but being young and energetic, he could still handle it.
Luis watched Natalie's retreating figure with a conflicted expression, wondering whether he should tell her.
Natalie's overall fortune is considered top-tier among everyone. People with such fortune must have a powerful background. If he can help her solve this problem, he will definitely gain her favor.
Once he gains her favor, the first task given by the system will be completed. Moreover, it would be a lie to say that Luis has no feelings for such a beautiful woman. Perhaps his feelings for her can even be deepened, and he might eventually get the chance to get close to her.
But if he tell her what to say and what to do, even though Natalie is currently being nice to him, if he rashly goes to someone else and tells them that she is going to lose money, she might think he is a conman.
But what's the use of my ability if he don't tell her? He have to take the first step eventually.
With his mind racing, calculating the gains and losses, Luis made up his mind.
When they arrived at their floor, Luis and Natalie got out of the elevator.
"Luis, why is your face suddenly so pale? Are you still feeling unwell?" Natalie asked with concern as she looked at Luis after they got off the elevator.
Luis smiled weakly, "It's alright, Mrs. Natalie. I probably didn't sleep well last night."
Natalie frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. She simply told them that she wasn't feeling well and needed to take a leave of absence to see a doctor.
Because she arrived early, there were only a few people in the company yet. Natalie didn't talk to Luis anymore and went to her office on her own.
Luis returned to his workstation and sat down. He felt a little lost and didn't know what to do. Although he had some memories of his past life and knew what his daily work was, he had never worked before. He was not only curious about this office environment, but also felt a little uncomfortable.
After spacing out for a while, having just checked the fortunes of two people, Luis was exhausted and looked rather unwell.
He could have easily lay down and rested, but he had his own considerations. He couldn't rest now; instead, he needed to make himself look even weaker.
Soon it was time to start work, and people began arriving one after another, making the company lively.
A man sat down at the next workstation. "Luis, where did you go yesterday? You didn't ask for leave. During the meeting, Arnold went berserk and started cursing!"
Supervisor Arnold is a bully who uses his position to intimidate others. The boss is his relative, so he always acts arrogantly in the company, bullies honest people, has no skills, and has a terrible temper.
Luis turned his head. This person was called Angler.
He was very talkative and could chat with anyone. He also loved gossip. He always thought that he and Luis had the best relationship.
"I went to the hospital yesterday," Luis said casually. He didn't have a good impression of this person; he loved to gossip behind people's backs.
"Then why didn't you ask for leave? Even if you didn't ask for leave, if you had told me earlier yesterday, I would have helped you find an excuse."
Angler shook his head. "You're probably in trouble today. Arnold will definitely cause you trouble. Honestly, you didn't even tell me beforehand."
Luis sneered inwardly.
"You care about me so much, but why didn't you message me privately yesterday to say hello? You're quite active in the company group, though."
"If I told you, you'd probably exaggerate it even more," Luis said sarcastically, not one to tolerate others.
"You…" Angler looked at Luis in surprise. In his memory, Luis was a timid, introverted and cowardly person whose only advantages were that he was down-to-earth, honest, hardworking, and, well, he also had a very beautiful girlfriend.
When did Luis dare to speak like that? Is this a sequela of his illness, leading to mental problems?
"Have you lost your mind, Luis? I care about you and I'm thinking of you. How could you say such a thing?" Angler immediately changed his expression and said angrily.
"Thank you."
Luis gave a sarcastic laugh.
"I can't accept your concern. Everyone knows that after you show concern on one side, you'll exaggerate and report on others behind their backs. Who in the company hasn't been stabbed in the back by you?"
The colleagues at the company come from all over the country. We only exchange a few words while working there. If he resigns, who will remember whom? We're all just passersby in each other's lives.
If you get along well, communicate more often. If you don't get along, don't spoil him. It's just that Luis used to be introverted. No one else has such a good temper with Angler.
Angler face was dark, but he didn't know how to refute it. Facing Luis sudden attack, he looked around and found that everyone was waiting to see a good show.
His finger trembled as he pointed at Luis, "You... You just wait!"
Luis scoffed. This kind of person is only good at this much; all bluster and no substance.
Too lazy to pay attention to him, Luis just sat at his workstation in a daze, not doing anything, but thinking about other things.
Time passed slowly. Angler left his workstation for more than ten minutes. When he returned, he gave Luis, who was in a daze, a cold laugh.
This type of person is the most vengeful. If you suppress him when you first meet him, he won't dare to cause trouble. But if you indulge him too much, he will feel unbalanced and want to retaliate immediately if you suddenly make a move against him.
Soon it was lunchtime, and the office staff either went out to eat or ordered through door dash.
After Luis finished eating, he figured Natalie had probably finished eating too. He went to the restroom to practice his expressions in front of the mirror and mentally planned how to start the conversation before heading to her office.
Standing at the office door, Luis knocked.
The other employees in the company looked at Luis with surprise. What was going on with an employee going to the vice president's office?
"Come in!" Natalie's voice came from the office.
Luis took a deep breath. This was crucial for his first battle, and it was 12:30 now.
Natalie's losses would be confirmed around 2:00. There were still three hours left, and it was still possible to salvage the situation.
After composing himself, he went inside and closed the door behind him.
