Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 183

Natasha furrowed her brows. Looks like the punishment earlier was too light.

At the same time, Xavier and Thomas entered the room with the latter cursing, “That woman is really annoying!”

“No matter how annoying she is, she's not as quick-witted as you,” said Xavier, giving Thomas a look of admiration.

“Of course. I knew what was on her mind as soon as she looked up.” Thomas raised a brow lazily.

Their conversation caught Natasha's attention. “What happened?”

Taking a seat, Xavier explained with a smile, “That woman wanted to check the surveillance footage. When I was racking my brains for a solution, I saw Thomas shooting me a look before deleting that section of the footage. I guess you could say we worked quite seamlessly.”

Right then, Natasha turned to Thomas, looking impressed by his actions.

He ruffled his hair coolly. “Oh, you don't have to praise me. I know; I'm a smart person.

Ross blurted, “Thomas, this is the first time I'm impressed by you from the bottom of my heart. You've executed it so beautifully!”

Thomas smirked. “To be honest, I'm quite impressed with myself too.”

The three people gave each other a high-five excitedly.

A smile tugged at Natasha's lips as she watched them celebrate. “Anyway, I'd like to thank all of you for your help earlier. Ross told me she called the cops just now.”

“Boss, you're being too polite with us. If you didn't stop me earlier, I would’ve gotten into a fight with her,” said Xavier.

Natasha burst out laughing. Xavier had always been the most composed person among the trio. The way he spoke those words sounded incredibly natural.

Right then, Ross cleared his throat and cast a glance at Natasha. “That woman shouted something about Lynch Corporation being backed by Hamilton Corporation at our entrance earlier. Ms. Watson, that woman looks really determined to bring you down. Perhaps, you should talk to Hamilton Corporation and tell them to stop cooperating with Lynch Corporation. She's too arrogant!”

Natasha frowned. “I don't have the power to do so.”

“Stop messing around. We know about your identity already—”

“Oh, I forgot to correct you. Your guess previously was wrong,” she said.

The three men were taken aback.

We were wrong?

“I'm not related to anyone in Hamilton Corporation. So, I really don't have the right to do so.”

Upon hearing that, Ross batted his eyelids. “H-How's that possible? Didn't Old Mr. Hamilton visit you the other time? All of us saw that.” “He's my grandpa's close friend, which makes him quite close to me as well. But I'm really not some illegitimate daughter of Hamilton Corporation's boss. Otherwise, I wouldn't be working here with all of you,” she explained briefly.

Ross was stupefied. After some time, he finally asked, “B-But you're still on closer terms with Hamilton Corporation compared to Lynch Corporation, right?”

Realizing Ross was focused on that topic, Natasha knitted her brows in suspicion. “Why do you have to make such a comparison?”

Thomas could not help but laugh, explaining, “When the guards came to drag the woman away, Ross confidently told them this...” He repeated every word that came out of Ross' mouth earlier, along with the latter's actions and expressions. After saying that, he laughed uncontrollably.

Xavier, too, could not help but chuckle. Who would've known he'd be so pompous just now?

They found it amusing as they compared his current reaction with his attitude earlier.

Only Ross looked grim. He looked over at Natasha. “Ms. Watson... You must have been teasing me earlier, right?”

Now that things had gotten so hilarious, she felt as if keeping her silence at that point would be a killjoy.

She gave him a sympathetic and grateful look. “Don't worry, Ross. I won't forget what you've done for me today...”

Ross was about to lose his mind. “Please don't scare me like that, Ms. Watson...”

Natasha smiled, looking extremely attractive.

“I don't care. If I lose my job and get banned by the industry, you've got to provide for me, Ms. Watson,” begged Ross pitifully.

She nodded. “Don't worry. I'll never let you starve as long as I have my job.”

“Remember what you said, okay?”

“Mm. I will.”
