Chapter 184
Meanwhile, at Hamilton Corporation, Kenneth headed out of the meeting room.
Fabian hurriedly trailed behind the man.
“Mr. Hamilton...”
In the office, Kenneth removed his coat and hurled it aside. He rolled his sleeves up casually. The black shirt that he was wearing complimented his regal aura perfectly.
He cast a glance at Fabian and asked, “What's the matter? What happened?”
Fabian pursed his lips and reported, “There has been news from Prosper Technologies...”
Kenneth took a seat and narrowed his eyes slightly as he heard Fabian. “Go on.”
Fabian took a step forward and said, “For unknown reasons, Zachary's mother has approached Ms. Watson again, accusing her of bothering Zachary and getting in between Zachary and the Lynch family's marriage arrangement. To summarize, she made some harsh comments to Ms. Watson and even chided that Ms. Watson is already a mother with kids, thus she's never going to be a good match for the Lynch family.”
Fabian stole a glance at Kenneth right then.
The latter turned grim as his eyes turned dark. “And then?”
“And then,” Fabian heaved a sigh before he continued, “Ms. Watson went ahead and revealed how Erin herself drove Desmond's first wife to death. The woman had not expected that Ms. Watson would know all of these and almost hit her. However, in the end, Ms. Watson slapped Erin across the face and threw her out of Prosper Technologies!”
The tense look on Kenneth's face eased a little.
That's more like Natasha. She won't let herself suffer this kind of indignation.
“However, I heard that the woman had not given up after. She kept yelling that the Lynch Corporation had Hamilton Corporation backing them up, and she
ended up calling the police!” Fabian said.
“The police?”
“Yes. But you need not worry. Ms. Watson has won the support of everyone there, and no one stood out to testify against her. In the end, the woman could only let it slide,” Fabian reported. In the end, he could no longer stifle his laugh. After all, they were at the Programming Department, and it was a piece of cake for them to tamper with the surveillance camera footage.
Hence, Fabian thought the woman was digging her own grave and being silly.
He wished he could be there to watch how pathetic the woman was.
Kenneth no longer looked tense.
“Mr. Hamilton, do you plan to keep letting others bully Ms. Watson like that? Even though they did not succeed, shouldn't we do something? Someone's already using this as an excuse to attack her. We can't just sit around and do nothing!”
Kenneth lifted his head and looked at Fabian. “Are you very worried?”
“Of course!” However, when he met Kenneth's scrutinizing gaze, Fabian immediately added, “I'm worried for you!”
I guess he still has some sense.
Kenneth averted his gaze and thought for a moment before glancing at Fabian again. “Right, don't we have an anniversary banquet coming up? When is it?”
Fabian thought for a moment and replied, “Um, I think it's next month.”
“Bring it forward. We'll hold the anniversary banquet two days later.”
“Huh?” Fabian was stumped. “I-Isn't that too sudden? There are multiple departments involved, all of which require close coordination with each other. Mr. Hamilton, two days is not enough time...”
“If they can't make it, it's probably time we swap them out for another group of people?” Kenneth asked rhetorically.
Fabian then decided to stop bargaining for more time and said, “I'll try my best...”
Kenneth was finally satisfied with the answer. “Send out an invitation to Lynch Corporation as well. Make sure Desmond brings along Erin,” he emphasized.
Fabian's mind went into overdrive thinking about the things he needed to coordinate. However, when he heard Kenneth mention that, his eyes glinted as he looked at the latter. “Mr. Hamilton, are you thinking to let Ms. Watson...”
Kenneth's lips curled into a derisive smirk.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he hissed, “I'd like to see how high their horses
i n
are!
Fabian understood his boss' intention right away.
He is going to great lengths for the damsel in distress!
Fabian was thrilled and declared, “Don't worry, Mr. Hamilton! I will make sure that the banquet is held in two days' time!”
How dare these scoundrels disrespect Hamilton Corporation's future lady boss! They have a death wish.
Then, Fabian turned around to leave.
He vowed to make the banquet a huge success to back the future Mrs. Hamilton up.
Meanwhile, after Fabian had headed out, Kenneth turned to look at his phone.
This woman has not called for two days. She didn't even bother to say hi. What a heartless woman!
However, there was nothing Kenneth could do. His heart yearned for the woman, and without her, he felt lost.
With the thought in mind, he gave Natasha a call.
After multiple rings, her drawling voice rang on the other end of the phone. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hello.”
Kenneth's mood inexplicably lifted just by listening to her voice.
“What are you doing?” Kenneth asked.
“I'm buying desserts for Denise,” she said. “This one will do.”
Kenneth could almost picture the image of
Natasha standing in front of the dessert counter. His lips quirked into a smile.
“What's the matter?” Natasha asked.
Kenneth then recalled his purpose and asked, “Will you be free two days later?”
“Why?”
“I have a favor to ask.”
“No,” Natasha replied in a heartbeat.
“Are you saying no, you're not free, or no, you don't want to help me?” Kenneth's brows furrowed.
“Is there a difference?” Natasha retorted.
After all, she could infuriate Kenneth all the same.
“I guarantee that it is a simple favor. In fact, you don't have to do anything. You just need to... show up,” Kenneth said.
Natasha frowned.
“Don't forget that you said you owe me a favor. Why? Are you going against your
word already?” “Didn't you say to just forget about it?” Natasha refuted again.
Does this woman have to be this difficult?
Then again, Kenneth knew that her hardheaded attitude had softened his own edges.
“I need you to return the favor to me now.
Is that okay?” Kenneth asked.
Natasha thought for a moment and raised a brow before she replied, “Okay.”
“So, you've agreed to it?”
“Yes.”
Natasha reckoned she would feel better after returning his favor anyway. After all, she was a woman of her words.
“Okay. I will pick you up two days later.”
“That won't be necessary. Just let me know the address and I can get there myself.” “Natasha, could you be more demure like other women?” Kenneth asked.
“Demure?” Natasha smirked. “Well, that depends on who I'm dealing with.”
Kenneth was stumped. His eyes flashed with an incomprehensible glint as he closed his eyes in an attempt to calm himself. “Anyway, just wait for me to pick you up at your place.”
Natasha did not insist and replied, “All right.”
The man went quiet, and so did she.
After a few moments of silence, Natasha spoke up. “I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else.”
Kenneth wanted to say something, but he did not know what else to say. In the end, he merely mumbled a yes.
The line went dead right away.
Kenneth looked at his phone bitterly.
