Natasha was pinned against the wall, and her hands were in his grip.
She stared at him blankly and was utterly stunned. What did he say? What did he mean by that? Did he just say what I think he said? No. That can't be it.
At the same time, Kenneth was glaring at her. Does she really not get it, or is she just acting dumb? She's a smart one usually, but why does she seem so dull-witted now?
At that moment, Kenneth no longer knew how to express himself with words.
Hence, he glanced at her lips and gave in to temptation. He held her hands in the air and leaned in to kiss her on her lips.
Just like that, the invasive kiss, laced with a hint of tobacco fragrance, landed on her lips.
Natasha froze on the spot. She widened her eyes and didn't know what to do in response.
Her mind was a mess because she didn't see it coming.
Kenneth only let go of her after an unknown period of time.
While staring at her lips with his darkened gaze, he uttered in a hoarse voice, “Do you get what I mean now?”
Natasha regained her senses and warned, “Kenneth, if my hands were free, I would've given you a tight slap across the face!”
Out of nowhere, Kenneth laughed. “I wouldn't even retaliate if you were to slap me twice!” He then put on a serious expression and said, “I truly regret my actions.”
Natasha stared at him and remained silent.
“Nat... I'm not asking you to give me a second chance because I'll prove myself to you. But I'll get angry if you say such things again."
Did he just call me Nat?
Natasha frowned. “Kenneth, be your normal self, will you? Don't disgust me!”
Kenneth seemed to have gotten used to Natasha's attitude. With a smile, he said, “It's all right. You'll get used to it.”
Natasha started struggling to set her hands free. “Let go of me.”
Kenneth stared at her for a while before letting her go reluctantly.
In the next second, Natasha raised her hand and wanted to hit Kenneth. However, he managed to act quickly and grab her hand.
“Nat, you can't hurt me,” Kenneth said.
“Stop calling me that.” Natasha was uncomfortable with how he was addressing her.
“As I said, you'll get used to it.” Kenneth seemed to have made up his mind about addressing her so.
Natasha merely stared at him because she didn't know how to deal with him.
Indeed, she was more used to giving in to coercion and not persuasion. Hence, she was completely clueless as to what to do next.
She broke free and walked away.
However, Kenneth wasn't ready to let go of her. He pulled her in once again and asked, “What did Thea say to you today?”
Although he didn't hear it, it didn't mean he didn't see it.
Natasha raised her head and glanced at the man, who was a lot taller than her. Despite the darkness, she could see his alluring facial features clearly.
“Do you really want to know?” Natasha raised a brow.
Kenneth's eyes darkened. “Don't believe whatever she said to you. You just have to remember what I say.”
“Oh? Didn't you used to trust her a lot?”
“That was because I was a fool.”
Natasha was rendered speechless. Does he not have a principle? How am I supposed to deal with him now?
