บททั้งหมดของ Who's the Substitute Now?: บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

Natalie shot an annoyed look at the receptionist, who was trying a bit too hard to be friendly. Ignoring her, Natalie toyed with the package in her hands.Her usually innocent charm was nowhere to be found, and her gaze turned sullen. On the sidelines, the receptionist stood awkwardly.The delivery man tried to address Natalie, "Miss—"With a tone that brooked no argument, the receptionist interrupted, "She's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend. Just give her the package."The delivery man eyed Natalie with uncertainty."The contents are valuable. Are you sure she's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend? What if something goes wrong?" he questioned skeptically.Natalie's expression shifted. At first, she hesitated to open the package, but then her curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to see the valuable item Natasha had sent.Looking at the receptionist, Natalie requested, "Give me a cutter."However, the receptionist paused after taking in the delivery man's caution. She feared the consequence

Even though Joshua held the authorization letter, he didn't feel happy or relieved. He looked confused with his eyebrows wrinkled and eyes squinted.Remembering Ron's past fake authorization, Joshua closely examined Natasha's document. It had an anti-counterfeit security label. Professor Nancy's signature inside also seemed genuine, with no signs of being forged.Joshua couldn't unravel the mysteries Natasha held. Not only could she get into the research building, but she also had a way to secure a letter of authorization.As he scrutinized the document, memories of his unexpected run-ins with Natasha replayed in his mind.The more he pondered, the more he sensed that something was off. Could it be that Natasha had an extraordinary identity?"Josh, can I take a look?" A sweet voice interrupted Joshua's thoughts.Natalie had planned to playfully express her jealousy over Natasha's gift delivery. She hoped this would not only deepen her connection with Joshua but also provide an op

"It's no problem at all. I chose to handle everything willingly. After all, whatever concerns the Graysons concerns me, too," Natalie replied.Joshua looked tenderly at Natalie.With a slight smile, Natalie bashfully added, "I'll be joining the Grayson family sooner or later, you know…"Despite her seemingly casual remark, she purposefully emphasized the phrase "joining the Grayson family" with a raised tone.A solemn expression settled on Joshua's face. He had promised Philip not to divorce Natasha before. But now, realizing that the authorization issue was sorted out, he felt like he had more control.This made him think about the possibility of getting a divorce. As this realization set in, his serious expression slowly softened.Natalie caught a quick glimpse of the mixed emotions on Joshua's face."Josh, did I say something wrong?" Her tone, along with her innocent face, could tug at anyone's heart."No," Joshua reassured. "You'll surely become a part of the Grayson family

Joshua's words put a big smile on Marcus' face. "Awesome! Your promise makes me feel relieved," Marcus exclaimed.Havenfield International Hospital's reputation in Oceanville was clear. Joshua had no intention of jeopardizing their relationship by faking a letter of authorization.Marcus had confidence in Joshua because Grayson Corporation was highly regarded in the pharmaceutical industry.Without even checking the authorization letter, Marcus returned it to its place and crossed his arms.Despite his age, Marcus' sharp gaze remained intact as he stated, "I trust you, so let's discuss the price."Joshua responded with a nonchalant hum."I'm curious about the price Grayson Corp has in mind," Marcus pondered aloud before taking a sip from his coffee cup."Set the price as you see fit," Joshua suggested. His hand found its place beneath his chin, and his gaze rested on Marcus, signaling his desire for Marcus to lead the conversation.Across the table, Marcus toyed with his fancy

"This way, please," Harriet spoke with a softer tone.Joshua's face was clouded with tension, and he responded with another hum. He took a step forward. This was the first time he had ever been subjected to such questioning.Everything about this situation was new to him, and a bunch of feelings rushed in—shock, embarrassment, suspicion, anger, and disappointment.Most folks would probably be super embarrassed or eager to explain themselves, maybe even begging for forgiveness from Havenfield.Offending the best hospital in Oceanville could seriously hamper a pharmaceutical company's success.Still, Joshua remained calm and reserved, his face unmoved even as emotions stirred inside him. His demeanor revealed the composure often seen in those born into privilege."Apologies for the trouble," Joshua politely extended those words as a courtesy of his own. "There might be some issues with the letter of authorization, and the reasons are a bit tangled."Once I sort it out, I'll explai
