After leaving the cafe, Erin immediately sent Zachary a text before heading for Prosper Technologies.
I'd like to see what kind of tricks this woman has up her sleeve.
Upon arriving at Prosper Technologies, she walked straight into the building. The receptionist noticed her and asked hurriedly, “Hello. May I know who you're looking for? Do you have an appointment?”
However, Erin continued walking into the building as if she did not hear the receptionist's words. The latter quickly stepped forward to stop her. “Excuse me. You're not allowed to enter without an appointment!”
Right then, Erin cast the receptionist a contemptuous glance. “I'm looking for Natasha Watson.”
“May I know who you are?” the receptionist asked, sensing Erin's ill intentions.
“It doesn't matter who I am. Tell her to
come out and see me!” “I'm sorry. I'm afraid that can't be done without an appointment,” the receptionist said.
Erin cast her a cold glance. “Since you’re not telling her to come out, then I'll go in myself.” With that, she shoved the receptionist aside and stomped into the building.
“Excuse me, miss. Please hold on—”
“You'd better stay away from me. You'll never be able to compensate if you dirty my clothes,” Erin warned the receptionist coldly, glaring at the latter.
The receptionist knew Erin was a tough person to deal with, and she did not dare to touch the latter. She could only stand by the side to block Erin. Soon, it attracted quite a crowd.
Erin stepped into the Programming Department's office, which consisted of men only. She stared at the crowd, and they stared back.
Erin narrowed her eyes. “Where's Natasha
Watson?”
The receptionist answered, “Ms. Watson's not here today—”
“Not here? Then, why didn't you say so earlier?” Erin questioned straightforwardly. Clearly, she did not believe the receptionist's words.
The receptionist did not know how to respond. Right then, Thomas, who was walking out to retrieve a parcel, witnessed the scene. He turned to the receptionist and asked, “What's up, Sarah?”
Sarah Sprunt hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered, “She's here for Nat. I have a feeling this woman is up to no good. You'd better go in and give Nat a heads up. Tell her not to come out!”
Thomas scrutinized Erin before nodding. “Got it.”
He then pretended to be nonchalant and walked toward the conference room.
Meanwhile, Natasha was speaking into her phone.
Before Thomas could even speak, Erin's voice suddenly boomed on the outside. “Where's Natasha Watson?”
Her voice was so loud that even Natasha, who was in the conference room, could hear every word.
Natasha frowned and glanced at Thomas. “Is someone looking for me out there?”
He shook his head hurriedly. “No.”
However, his expression had betrayed him.
She got to her feet and was about to walk out before Thomas stopped her.
“What is it?” Natasha asked.
“It's best if you don't go out—” he said.
“What's happening?” she asked right away.
“I'm not sure either, but there's a woman looking for you out there. She looks furious and seems to be up to no good. Sarah asked me to tell you to stay here and not go out,” explained Thomas.
At the same time, Ross and Xavier watched
Thomas and Natasha, curious about the incident outside.
“Where's Natasha Watson? Where is she?” Erin asked everyone in the building, yet no one answered her.
