Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 712

Nathalie's words were short and sweet, yet they cut through the tension in the room like a hot knife through butter. The employees, buoyed by Nathalie's backing, shot looks of disdain and contempt at Greta.

“She only throws her weight around because Mr. Steward is her relative,” the male assistant grumbled under his breath.

Greta glared at him, her temper reaching its peak. “Is it wrong for me to lend a hand to my uncle?” she snapped.

At the mention of Mr. Lincoln, the employees shot nervous glances at Nathalie, wondering who he would side with—the commanding Greta or the warm-hearted Nathalie?

Nathalie calmly stated, “In our company, we prioritize talent over connections. So Greta, don’t overstep your bounds again.”

Greta's face flashed a medley of red and white before she stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

The male assistant looked at Nathalie, concern etched on his face. “Mr. Steward, she's definitely going to complain to the CEO. Watch your back.”

Nathalie, playing it cool, replied, “Today, I’ve got your backs; tomorrow, you’ve got mine. Starting tomorrow, I don’t want to see anyone showing up late, forgetting presentations, or slacking off. Keep your noses clean, and no one can touch you.”

“Yes, yes,” the employees responded, grateful for Nathalie’s support.

“Alright, off you go.”

Just as the employees left, Lincoln and Greta walked in. What timing.

The employees exchanged worried glances, hoping Nathalie wouldn’t get tangled up in their issues and stayed by the door, trying to catch snippets of the conversation.

“Well, Greta's got the education and none of the scandals Ashley's been mixed up in. Mr. Lincoln supporting Greta makes sense, given the circumstances.”

“Guess we’re in for some rough times.”

Inside the office, Lincoln thought for a moment before supporting Nathalie’s choice: “If you like working, then work. If not, take it easy at home. Just do what makes you happy. I can take care of you.”

Nathalie stood up and helped Lincoln to his chair. “Dad, Greta’s all about the rules, but if we’re really following them, she’s overstepping by telling off her peers. Shouldn't there be consequences?”

Greta chimed in, “I was just trying to help Uncle with his workload.”

Faced with both Nathalie and Greta having valid points, Lincoln waved Greta off, saying, “Greta, you’re destined for bigger things. Don’t let the small stuff sidetrack you.”
