A few days later, the vice president of the Carter's Company, Fred Norton, came to see Nathalia at Queenland. Though Nathalia didn't like his presence, she took him to a café near the university.
As soon as they sat down, Fred said, "Miss Nathalia Carter, Mr. Carter is in the hospital. Why don't you come and take care of the company?" Straight to the point.
Nathalia glanced at him, then waved to the waiter and ordered a cappuccino, before she answered, "I'm still a student. The study is my priority. I won't interfere with the company business."
Fred was startled to hear Nathalia's answer. He had predicted various responses but never had he expected her to refuse straight away.
"But the stock price is dropping drastically. Everyone is at a loss. We need a leader, and now is the best time for you, Miss Nathalia Carter, to take over." He persuaded me.
