Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 16

“Do you all think I can't find myself a guy?” Natasha asked when she saw them all staring nosily at her.

“No way! While there isn't anything wrong with being single, you should give it a shot if you come across a suitable man! I'm not getting any younger, so it'd do you good to have someone who can look after you and protect you,” Terence said.

“But I prefer to have you keep me company, Grandpa!” Natasha protested as she continued munching on her desserts. She absolutely refused to acknowledge the fact that Terence would someday be gone.

Knowing how much she feared the topic of separation, Terence chose not to dwell on that topic for too long. “I know, but I'd prefer for you to have one more person to keep you company.”

Natasha understood full well what he meant. “Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll be sure to seize the opportunity if I ever come across someone suitable.”

Although she didn't mention how things were between her and Zachary, Terence felt reassured when he heard her promise.

He feared that his mistakes would cause Natasha to lose hope in marriage. As he wouldn't be around forever, he really wanted someone who could take care of her in his stead.

“Now, now... Stop being so nosy, you three! I'll keep you updated if anything happens, okay?” Natasha said.

“Okay!” Clarice replied. Fine! If Mommy won't tell us the truth, I'll just ask Mr. Lynch about it tomorrow!

The next day, Natasha had just arrived at the Programming Department when Ross called out to her, “Let's go. We have a meeting.

A meeting? This early in the morning?

Natasha was a little confused, but she didn't think much about it and left with a pen and notebook.

She frowned when she saw Kenneth sitting in front the moment she entered the

conference room.

After everyone had taken their seats, Mark glanced at Xavier and said, “Mr. Hamilton has given you this opportunity, Xavier. Do your best to present your ideas.”

Unsure of what Kenneth was playing at, Xavier decided not to get his hopes up as he presented his reworked project.

Everyone frowned as they wondered why it was different from the previous one, but Natasha wasn't the least bit surprised.

“If I recall, this looks quite different from your previous work,” Kenneth commented in a professional manner.

“That is right. I carelessly overlooked some details before, so I added them in to complete it,” Xavier replied.

Xavier had indeed made changes to his project after hearing what Natasha said.

Although he didn't expect to present his work again, it was necessary for a programmer like him to ensure the completion of the project.

Kenneth nodded and turned toward Mark as he said, “All right. We'll go with this, then. Get ready to sign the contract.”

Everyone else involved in the project was stunned, but Natasha simply maintained a poker face as she observed everything.

She had prepared herself for any stunt that Kenneth might try to pull.

I don't know if Kenneth was simply trying to make things difficult or if he's doing it for Natasha, but I'm glad it all worked out!

After taking a moment to regain his composure, Mark quickly arranged for the signing of the contract.

“By the way, I have another suggestion,” Kenneth said all of a sudden.

The manager looked at him cautiously. “Please go ahead, Mr. Hamilton.”

“We could build a long-term strategic partnership. Your company will be in charge of our projects in the future,” Kenneth suggested.

The manager was practically petrified after
