Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 176

Natasha fell into deep slumber after ending the call last night.

She had been sleeping because she had been recuperating at home for the last few days. That was why she woke up exceptionally early this morning.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Ross.

Natasha glanced at the screen and answered the call, “Yes?”

“You're awake, Ms. Wealthy? Are you free to talk?” Ross asked.

“You think you can still talk to me if I'm asleep?” Natasha retorted.

Ross responded with an awkward chuckle. “When are you coming back to the office?”

“Something happened?”

Ross responded with another wry smile. “Yeah. Something cropped up...” “Spill!” “Xavier, Thomas, and I had recently worked on a project, and we had come up with a prototype, but the client was not happy with it. We knew something was amiss with the prototype, but we couldn't figure out the problem. That's why we're here to seek your advice.”

Natasha thought about it and said, “Got it. I'll be there in a minute.”

“You want to come right now?”

“Yes!”

“We can come to you instead, though, since you're still feeling unwell.”

“It's all right. I’m okay now. I'll come over now since I have nothing to do at home anyway!"

“Oh, okay. We'll wait for you then!” Ross sounded exceptionally excited.

After ending the call, Natasha changed her clothes, put on simple makeup, and was ready to depart.

Meanwhile, Anthony was busy cleaning up the living hall.

Upon seeing Natasha all dressed up, he asked, “Are you going out, Nat?” “Yeah. I have to get back to the office.”

Anthony frowned and expressed his concern. “But your injury—”

Natasha smiled. “I feel better now, don't worry. Besides, I'm tired of staying at home. A trip to the office could make me feel better.”

Anthony bobbed his head. “All right then!”

“Where's Great-grandpa?”

“He went out to do groceries shopping and should be back soon!”

“Tell him not to worry about me. I'll be back soon.”

Anthony nodded. “Okay.”

Natasha soon arrived at Prosper Technologies.

Everyone in the office had dark eye circles and looked dispirited, but when they saw Natasha from a distance, their spirit was

reignited.

They instantly surrounded her. “You're back, Ms. Watson!”

“How are you? Do you feel better now, Ms. Watson?”

“Ms. Watson, the office without you was boring as hell!”

Natasha was taken aback by their enthusiasm. She was not used to being in the limelight, but their reaction made her very happy.

Ross, who was still at his wit's end, immediately bounced up from his seat when he heard Natasha had arrived. He dashed across the office and extended his hands to embrace her. “You're back, Ms. Wealthy!”

But Xavier pulled him back before he could give her a hug.

Xavier looked at Natasha and asked, “Boss, why did you come back? Do you feel better now?”

Natasha hesitated. Before she could answer his question, Ross tried getting her attention by making eye contact with her.

Xavier followed her line of sight and looked in Ross' direction. “You called her?”

Ross knew the truth would come to light sooner or later. He responded with an awkward chuckle and said, “Yes, I did call Ms. Watson, but I didn't expect her to come back so soon-”
