Hearing Fabian's words, Natasha nodded. “I'm glad to hear that.”
“So, what should we do next, Mrs. Hamilton?” Fabian asked, seemingly unable to contain his eagerness.
Moreover, he inexplicably felt that Natasha could undoubtedly achieve what she promised in the two months she asked for.
He had already begun to look forward to that day. At that time, both Albert and Zachary would have to get out of the company.
The mere thought of it was incredibly exhilarating.
At his question, Natasha's petite face showed no change in expression. Her crystalline eyes seemingly narrowed slightly. “There's no doubt that we can't take step by step now. If we want to exceed the quota within two months, we'll have no choice but to take a shortcut!”
A shortcut?
Fabian looked at her, puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Natasha casually lifted her gaze, looking at him as she asked, “Fabian, were there any particular projects that Kenneth had previously considered but never pursued? Or perhaps any he's currently contemplating?”
Speaking of that, Fabian nodded without hesitation. “There's none he's currently contemplating. Mr. Hamilton usually makes a move once he sets his eyes on something!”
“Isn't there any he thought was good but never made a move on?” Natasha pressed.
Fabian racked his brain. Then, recalling something, he looked at her and nodded. “Yes, but...”
“But what exactly?” Natasha asked.
Fabian lifted his eyes, his gaze meeting hers. “There were several projects I could tell that Mr. Hamilton valued greatly. However, he put them aside!”
“Put them aside?” Natasha's brows furrowed.
Fabian nodded. “Yes.”
“Why?” Natasha asked.
“Uh... I'm not sure either.” Fabian shook his head.
Natasha believed him, but still, she narrowed her eyes at him. “Fabian, you know Kenneth best. If even you don't know his thoughts, no one in this world has a clue!” Natasha stared at him in certainty.
Fabian stood a stone's throw away from Natasha. Upon hearing that, he flashed her a sheepish smile. “Mrs. Hamilton, I was merely speculating. Why don't you call Mr. Hamilton directly and ask him? Wouldn't that be more straightforward?”
“Would I be asking you if he could speak now?” Natasha retorted.
Fabian was taken aback, his gaze fixed on her.
Natasha realized her blunder and looked back at him. “He's not available to take calls right now!”
Upon hearing that, Fabian finally nodded. “Oh, I see.”
“Just say it!” Natasha urged.
Fabian pursed his lips. “May I venture a guess, then?”
“Sure!” Natasha nodded.
“Mr. Hamilton is always swift and decisive in doing anything. Once he sets his sights on something, he never hesitates. Therefore, if he were truly interested in those few projects, he would never hesitate, especially for such a long time,” Fabian said.
“Go on.” Natasha's eyes remained fixed on him.
“But if he hadn't taken a liking to the projects, he certainly wouldn't have kept them until now!” Fabian continued.
Speaking of that, Natasha also narrowed her eyes slightly. They were the ones who understood Kenneth best, so they could sense an underlying problem in it.
“So, what's your conclusion?” Natasha asked, looking at him.
