Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1079

Before all those incidents occurred, Natasha genuinely considered Zachary a friend.

But his actions had crossed her bottom line.

Even if he didn't do it personally, in my eyes, a friend of the enemy is no longer a friend.

At that thought, a flicker of indifference flashed past her eyes. She looked at him. “Is something the matter, Mr. Lynch?”

Her address of him instantly distanced their relationship to the point of unfamiliarity.

Zachary's fists at his sides involuntarily clenched tight, and he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart several times, the pain unbearable.

Looking at her, he asked, “Does it... really have to be like this between us?”

Natasha chuckled lightly. “Mr. Lynch, it's best not to speak of us so closely. With so many people in the office, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.”

The more Natasha tried to distance herself, the more Zachary refused to let go, growing increasingly anxious and angry.

I haven't forgotten or let go, so why is she able to be so indifferent?

Deep within, he was both resentful and dissatisfied, yet he was helpless in Natasha's face, unable to do anything to her.

As that thought came to mind, he took a step forward and was about to say something. Seeing that, Fabian immediately stepped forward, inserting himself in and positioning himself in front of Natasha.

“Mr. Lynch, the office is full of prying eyes. It's best to keep your distance while speaking!” Fabian stared at Zachary, his gaze filled with warning.

Upon seeing that, Zachary shot daggers at him. However, Fabian simply didn't care.

Having worked for Kenneth for so many years, he had been through countless storms and tribulations. He had even made a move against people far more formidable than Zachary, so such a gaze had no effect on him.

That was doubly true when the man was both a nemesis and romantic rival of his employer.

In the absence of his employer, it was only natural that he stood guard.

The two men held each other's gaze for a long while. Natasha stood behind them, watching them expressionlessly.

“Mr. Lynch, if you're seeking me for work-related matters, please come to my office to discuss them. If it's not about work, I don't think there's any need for us to meet!” With that said, she retracted her gaze, turned around, and headed toward Kenneth's office.

Fabian continued to stand between the two of them, only withdrawing his hand after Natasha had gone a certain distance away. Then, he turned around and followed after her.

Zachary stood there at a distance, watching Natasha's receding figure, his gaze filled with regret and resentment.

Not long after Natasha had left, a voice rang out from behind him.

Albert walked over. “Mr. Lynch, I've been looking for you for a long time. I didn't expect to find you here!”

With his back to him, Zachary took a deep breath, putting away his emotions earlier.

Oblivious, Albert approached and studied him. “What do you plan to do now? How could you agree to this?”

Zachary swung his gaze at the man. “Do you have a better solution? Or were you going to sit back and watch as she reveals everything you've done?”

Speaking of that, Albert was taken aback. “I... I didn't do anything. It wasn't as serious as she made it out to be.”

“Is that so?” Zachary looked him in the eye, snorting coldly.

Albert inexplicably felt guilty. He then pursed his lips. “Even if she really knows something, what can she do? She's just a woman. She can't do anything significant. When I bag her one day, I'd like to see how she can threaten me.”
