Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 74

The only people who didn’t get off work at a fixed time every day were the programmers.

At seven in the evening, Natasha headed to Hamilton Corporation with Xavier’s project team.

When she went to her car in the parking lot, she felt as though someone was staring and following

her. However, whenever she turned, she didn’t see anything.

“What’s wrong, Ms. Watson?” Thomas asked.

“I feel like someone’s following me,” Natasha replied.

The others looked around before Thomas speculated, “Maybe you’re seeing things because you

didn’t rest well during the night?”

She didn’t reply.

“Don’t worry, with us three men around you, we can guarantee your safety. If a suitor or stalker

charges toward you, we’ll block their way,” Thomas assured.

Natasha glanced at him and threw the keys to him. “You drive.”

“All right.” Thomas headed into the car and saw her sitting in the backseat through the rearview

mirror. “I feel like a driver with you sitting at the back, Ms. Watson.”

“But you are a driver. What, do you think you owned the car too?” Ross uttered as he strapped on

his seatbelt.

Thomas glared at him furiously. “If not for the fact that what you said makes sense, I would’ve

punched you.”

“Just drive,” Ross ordered.

It was then the car drove out of the parking lot.

The seat at the back feels great and comfortable. It’s such a shame that I didn’t hire a chauffeur

when I bought this car. It would’ve been great. That thought crossed Natasha’s mind as she sat

with Xavier at the back.

When she was scrolling through her phone, she received a message: I’m at Glenport City. How

about we meet up?

She replied: Don’t bother me. Then she blocked the message.

Xavier was getting pretty restless at that moment. He would move around or read the information

he brought with him.

Natasha was getting pretty annoyed by his movements because it was making her unable to rest,

so she asked, “What are you doing?”

“Me? Nothing!”

“Are you nervous?”

“A little.”

Ross’ head turned back when he heard that. “It’s not the first time you’ve done this, Xavier. Why

are you nervous?”

“We’re facing Hamilton Corporation this time,” Xavier emphasized.

“It’s because we’re dealing with Hamilton Corporation that we have to stay calm. Besides, the

contract has already been signed. Whether we succeed or fail has been set in stone. It’s not like

we’re going to die or anything.”

“Can’t you say something more comforting?” Xavier snapped.

Ross smiled. “I’m just joking to lighten the mood.” Then he turned to Natasha. “Look at Ms.

Watson. She’s as cool as a cucumber.”

Natasha was still scrolling her phone as she uttered calmly, “Even if we fail today, it has nothing to

do with you. It’s normal.”

“Why?” Xavier asked.

She gazed at him. “It would be because of me.” She had to spell it out for someone as dense as

him.

Xavier was taken aback slightly while Ross couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’ve already looked over the outline. There’s no problem with it. If we fail, it means Thea ordered

for it to happen. There’s no need to overthink it. This project requires a slow process, anyway. Be

patient.”

Hearing her say that really put Xavier at ease. He adjusted his shirt and said, “In that case, I’m

ready.”

Natasha had been trying to block the messages that were sent to her, so she didn’t at all raise her

head.

It took them half an hour to arrive at Hamilton Corporation. After they went upstairs by riding the

elevator, they saw someone waiting outside the elevator entrance.

“Are you four from Prosper Technologies?” the person asked.

“Yes.” Xavier nodded.

“Our deputy general manager is heading back here right now. Let me take you all to the

conference room first.”

The four of them weren’t at all surprised by that news.

“Let’s go,” Natasha uttered and headed to the conference room with the group.

“Wait here, please. The deputy general manager will be back soon.” The assistant closed the door

upon finishing speaking.

Xavier sat in a random seat. “Why did they set the time when they couldn’t make it on time?”

“Now, now, we’ve already expected this when we came. Let’s just wait,” Ross comforted.

Natasha didn’t care and kept playing on her phone.

Currently, in the underground parking lot below Hamilton Corporation, a man in a black outfit

approached Natasha’s car.

After standing at the side, the person went under the car to tinker with something.

There was a woman sitting inside another car across from Natasha’s car. She was an extremely

beautiful woman who appeared to be in her mid-twenties dressed up in a trendy manner.

Seeing that the signal was lost, Thalia furrowed her eyebrows and spoke while wearing

earphones. “I’m this close in finding him!”

“Not necessarily. Maybe he intentionally lured you there.”

“It’s possible. After all, there’s no way he’ll expose his location that easily,” Thalia analyzed.

“Keep looking. He must be somewhere in Glenport City.”

“Roger.”

“Also, once you do find him, make sure you don’t alert anyone. Tell me where he is and I’ll meet

him face-to-face.”

No reply.

“Lia? Thalia? Are you there?”

“I’m here.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Thalia stared at the scene in front of her with a smirk. “It’s nothing. I’m just staring at potential

crime scene.”

“Is it a reality show or something?”

“He’s doing it for real!” Thalia raised her voice a little. “There’s a fully armed man tampering with a

Phantom.”

The person on the other end didn’t care. “Don’t interfere and expose your identity.”

“I know. Still, it’s a shame to see someone ruining such a nice car.”

“You want one? I’ll give one to you.”

“Can you give me something I can’t afford instead?”

“For example?”

“A man.”

“I can arrange a few for you tonight.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I mean someone who genuinely likes me.”

“Don’t make things difficult for me.”

“Get out of here.” Thalia then hung up the phone.

At that moment, the man below the Phantom slipped out and stood next to the car. He grinned

maliciously before turning away and leaving.

Thalia stuffed her phone into her bag and was reminded of the order given to her as she stared at

the scene. She obeyed the order by ignoring what happened and drove out of the parking lot.

Inside the conference room, Natasha and the others had been waiting for more than half an hour.

“This is ridiculous. I’ve never waited so long when visiting another company,” Thomas grumbled.

Natasha glanced at the time. “We’ll wait for ten more minutes. If they still aren’t here by then, we’ll

leave.”

He liked it when she spoke, for some reason.

“How about we play poker?” Ross suggested.

“How are we going to play without cards?”

It was then Ross pulled out a deck from his pocket.

“No way. You really brought a deck with you?”

“It’s for emergency entertainment purposes, like this one. You want to play or not?”

Thomas replied excitedly, “Of course!”

He then looked at Natasha and Xavier.

Natasha furrowed her eyebrows. “I’ve never played it before.”

“Don’t worry, I can teach you.”

She raised her eyebrow and agreed with silence.

Xavier joined too upon seeing that.
