Seeing the serious expression on Thalia's face, Anthony asked, “What's wrong? What happened?”
Thalia’s expression tensed. “The buyer says he can't come.”
“He can't come? Why?” Anthony asked.
Thalia shook her head. “No idea.”
“Then what do we do?”
Thalia lifted her head and looked at Anthony. “If he can't come, then so be it. He's not the only connection I have. Then again, I should look into this. I’ll get in touch with you once I find something.”
“Okay.” Anthony nodded.
With that, Thalia put down her utensils and walked out.
Staring at her back, Anthony asked, “Aren't you going to finish your food?”
“I'm full of anger!”
The corners of Anthony's lips curled upward as he watched her leave.
Thalia might be noisy sometimes, but she was always serious in dealing with matters.
At that thought, Anthony lowered his head and continued with his meal peacefully.
Meanwhile, Kenneth had bought some breakfast and was going to see Natasha.
However, no one responded after he knocked on the door a few times.
Kenneth glanced at his watch and pulled out his phone to call her.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.”
Kenneth frowned, as her phone had been unavailable since yesterday.
Is she still asleep? But that's impossible! It's already so late.
Kenneth continued knocking, but there was no response.
After pondering for a while, Kenneth dialed Denise’s number.
“Daddy?” Denise spoke lazily into the phone, sounding as if she was not fully awake.
“Denise, what's the password to the condominium?”
“The password? Let me think... Oh! It's one-two-three-three-two-one,” Denise said sweetly.
As he entered the password, Kenneth asked, “Why is the password so simple?”
“Nat was the one who set it. She said no one would crack it as long as it's a password. There are no simple or difficult ones. If someone really wants to steal something, a locked door won't be enough to stop them,” Denise replied.
However, after Kenneth entered the password, the lock indicated the password was incorrect.
Thinking he had keyed in the wrong number, Kenneth tried again. Still, it would not open.
He furrowed his brows. “Denise, are you sure that's the password?”
“Yep. It's one-two-three-three-two-one. I even joked about it with Tony and Ben, saying the numbers are like the three of us.”
“The password's incorrect,” Kenneth said sternly.
“Huh? Is it changed? Hmm... I'm not sure about it, either. I've been using the fingerprint function instead of keying in the password. Maybe Nat changed it some time ago. Why don't you call her to ask for it?” “She didn't pick up her phone.” “Then she must still be asleep. She sleeps more than I do. Sometimes, she can even sleep for the entire day without waking up," Denise said. Her voice sounded exhausted as if she could fall asleep at any time.
Kenneth frowned and said in a deep voice, “Okay. I get it.”
“Daddy, if that's all, I'm going to go back to sleep. I'm really tired.”
“Okay,” Kenneth muttered and hung up.
He stared at the massive door and pondered for a moment before placing the breakfast in front of the door.
He then took out his phone and sent Natasha a text.
It read: Breakfast is at the door.
Remember to eat it. And give me a call once you're awake.
After sending the text, he hesitated for a moment before leaving.
There were still some matters he had to deal with at the office, and he was only taking out some time to check in on Natasha. Hence, he left straight for the office.
