章 134: Don't believe me

"Father in law, I am sure that you did not come here to talk with me today" said Natasha as she smiled.

"You came here for a business deal, and we will surely do that" said Natasha as she smiled at him brightly.

"Hmm" said Ernest Jr as he just looked at Natasha.

"So from what I have been hearing, you have been asking for a discount" said Natasha as she went straight to business.

"Well yes, I have" said Ernest Jr as he just looked at Natasha who was busy acting too calm for his liking, he wondered what this woman was up to, she was the woman who destroyed the life of his only son.

"Back when Mr. Chestnut was the owner of this business, my company would often purchase fresh produce from him, and he would often grant us discounts seeing as we purchased many different crops in large quantities for him" said Ernest Jr as he explained.

"I see" said Natasha.

"But since I have taken over the company, I have not taken any measures for discounts yet" said Natasha.

"Right Chloe?" asked Natasha as she turned to look at Chloe.

"Yes, yes that is right Natasha" said Chloe as she turned to look at Natasha and she nodded her head.

"But seeing as you are family, I can of course grant you a discount" said Natasha as she turned back to look at Ernest Jr and she smiled at him.

"Alright then, that would be much more preferable" said Ernest Jr.

"Mhmm, alright then" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Chloe would you please grant Mr. White a 15 percent discount on everything he purchased overall" said Natasha as she turned to Chloe and she smiled.

"Alright Natasha, I will do so right away" said Chloe as she nodded her head and she smiled.

"Please excuse me" she said as she smiled and she walked away to her office to allow the 15 percent discount, she did not know if she was weird, but she felt like Natasha and her father in law had some sort of tension between them, and it was not good at all.

Chloe did not know if she was just seeing things or if she was thinking too much of it, but she did know that it was normal for families to have their own problems and she just thought that maybe she was overreacting.

"So you bought this company?" asked Ernest Jr as he looked at Natasha.

"Yes I did" said Natasha as she smiled at him, she was still going to be respectful to him, he was still her elder, and on top of that he was his father in law, even though he did not like her at all.

"With which money?" asked Ernest Jr.

"We all have money father in law" said Natasha as she smiled at him, she knew how he was of course she did, she had known him for a long time, she even used to like him, back when he was not unfair to her.

"Mhmm" said Ernest Jr.

"And how is Joy?" asked Ernest Jr.

"She is alright, and Father in law, you do know that you can always come to the house to come and visit her" said Natasha as she smiled, he was her Grandfather at all, and yet he never came to visit, not that Natasha was complaining, because the less she saw her in laws, the better it was for her to forget so many bad memories.

"And you also know that I do not agree with the methods you use for getting what you want" said Ernest Jr.

"Well I only use good methods to get what I want" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Is that so?" asked Ernest Jr.

"Because that is not what I remember" said Ernest Jr coldly, and the smile on Natasha's face dropped, she thought that she could handle standing here with this man, but she could not, he just brought her so many bad memories that she did not want to remember at all.

"Well just like everyone else, you don't believe me as well" said Natasha coldly.

"Well unlike my naïve father, I will not be so stupid as to believe you" said Ernest Jr very coldly, he did not like Natasha at all.

"You really hurt me Uncle" said Natasha as she looked away from Ernest Jr, she felt like shedding tears, but she could not right now.

"You hurt yourself when you did what you did to try to tie Dominic down" said Ernest Jr.

"And I tell you that what you think that I did, I did not do!" said Natasha as she stopped herself from raising her voice, they were in a public space right now, and she was sure that there were people nearby

"You really disappointed me Natasha, I saw you as so much more" said Ernest Jr.

"Ahh Sir, please follow me so you can finish the transaction" said Chloe as she walked over to where Natasha and Ernest Jr were as she smiled.

"Alright then, please lead the way" said Ernest Jr as he turned to look at Chloe and he followed after her, he was done here with Natasha, he did not want to speak to her any longer.

"Ha" said Natasha as she scoffed to herself, they could never change, every single one of them, they were all the same, and it hurt her, it really did hurt her, she considered him like her father, and the look of disappointment in his eyes hurt her.

She did not want to feel this way, she really did not want to, but she could not help it, it hurt her, they hurt her when they said such things about her that were not true at all, it broke her heart, she felt pain, there was nothing worse that someone not believe you even though you were completely innocent.

…

"Is the transaction done?" asked Natasha as she walked into Chloe's office.

"Well yes, yes it is Natasha, thank you, I am sorry for calling you over just because of this, the transaction is completed and the company's delivery trucks will deliver it to them tomorrow morning" said Chloe as she smiled and Natasha sat across her.

"Oh it's alright Chloe, I was actually planning of coming here" said Natasha as she smiled.

"I am just shocked, I did not know that he was your Father In law" said Chloe as she still could not believe that.

"Well only few people know, he did step down as company head a few years ago, actually it was five years ago to be exact" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Wow" said Chloe as she still could not believe this.

"Oh and before I forget" said Natasha.

"I spoke to Mr Willy Chestnut, and he has agreed to sell the land" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Really??" asked Chloe in surprise.

"Yes really, he has agreed to come here on Monday to settle the price of the land, and change the ownership to the company's" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Wow" said Chloe as she was still surprised.

"Natasha how did you do it?" asked Chloe as she was shocked, Natasha was very skilled at convincing people.

"Because, I am sure he did not reply to selling a very high value land in a high area so easily" said Chloe.

"Well I was just honest with him, and he agreed" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Wow Natasha, you work wonders, you really do" said Chloe.

"I know many honest people, and yet they are not as lucky as you are" said Chloe as she smiled.

"I guess that I am lucky" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Alright but I just want you to be prepared to meet him and settle everything on Monday" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Alright Natasha, I will be" said Chloe as she smiled.

"Alright then, Thank you Chloe" said Natasha as she smiled.

"But I have to go now, I have somewhere important that I need to be" said Natasha.

"Alright Natasha" said Chloe as she smiled.

"Oh and also, I believe that he should start a new rule of if a client orders more than 5 boxes of different produces of ours, we will grant them a 10 percent discount" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Alright then, I will tell Mandy to add that into our rules and regulations, to avoid future problems" said Chloe.

"Okay, so I have to go now, I will see you later" said Natasha as she smiled and she stood up.

"Alright Natasha, see you later" said Chloe as she smiled and Natasha walked out of her office.

…

Ernest Jr parked his car in front of a store and he took his phone out of his suit pocket and he dialed a number, there was something about this entire thing that did not look or sound good to him at all.
