Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1082

No sooner had his coworker's words fallen than Fabian's brows abruptly furrowed. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

The coworker clearly hadn't expected him to be so angry. She was startled for a moment. Then, she said, “No, why are you mad? I only heard it from someone else.”

“Who said that?” Fabian asked aggressively.

“The whole company is buzzing with it now. How would I know who said it?” said the coworker.

Fabian cast a warning glance at her, then pulled out his phone and tapped open the group chat. After he had read the discussion in the group, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The coworker looked at Fabian, knowing all too well that he was Kenneth's trusted aide. Therefore, without any definitive conclusion, she would never do anything rash.

“We still have some work to do, so we'll be leaving first,” she said.

“Wait a moment!” Fabian suddenly said.

The coworkers abruptly halted in their tracks and turned back to look at him.

Fabian studied them, the look in his eyes dark and unfathomable. “I don't know who started this baseless rumor. But I'd advise you not to take a gamble to end up losing everything over such unfounded hearsay. You're free to leave anytime. Once you do, however, don't even think about coming back!” With that said, he stood up and walked away without waiting for their response.

At that, the two female coworkers looked at each other.

Although his tone was unpleasant, it's undeniable that there was a certain truth to his words. Moreover, he doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving. So, it probably means the company is doing fine, right?

They simply exchanged glances but didn't say anything more, going straight back to work.

After Fabian had reached a deserted area, he finally stopped walking. He then pulled out his phone and glanced around to ascertain no one was nearby before making a call.

“Hello. Help me look into a matter...”

When the office's landline rang, Natasha answered it deftly.

“Hello.”

“Nat!”

Upon hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Natasha was taken aback. “Denise?”

“Yes, it's me!”

“What's wrong? Is something the matter?” Natasha asked.

“Nat, shouldn't you be asking why I called Daddy's office?” Denise countered.

Natasha belatedly realized that oddity. “That's right. Why?”

“Because your phone is unreachable!” Denise enunciated.

Upon hearing that, Natasha stopped ceased perusing the documents. She shifted her gaze to her phone on the table, picked it up, and glanced at it. Sure enough, there were quite a few missed calls and unread messages.

“Sorry, I forgot I put it on silent while I was working!” Natasha murmured.

“Do you realize how much you're worrying others by doing so?” Denise asked.

“It's my bad!” Natasha admitted outright.

Upon hearing that, Denise let out a deep sigh, sounding helpless as if there was nothing she could do about her mother.

“Forget it. I won't take offense with you over this anymore,” Denise muttered. Then, remembering something, she asked, “When will you be home?”

Natasha glanced at the documents at the side. “I will probably be a bit late.”

“So, you're not coming home for dinner?”

“No. Don't wait for me.”

“Got it!” replied Denise.

“I'll be hanging up first,” Natasha said.

“Remember to eat!”

“I will.”

After exchanging a few more words, Natasha absent-mindedly hung up the phone. Her gaze returned to the documents, and she continued where she left off.

In doing so, she was so engrossed that she lost track of time once again.

She had no idea how much time had passed until the door was suddenly pushed open. Upon seeing the person in the office, Fabian was taken aback.

“Mrs. Hamilton?” Fabian looked at her.
