Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 39

At this point, Natasha finally had a firm footing in the company.

While Natasha had only begun working for Prosper Technologies, she managed to secure the Hamilton Corporation project, gave benefits to the company, and paid the surgeon's fee for Xavier. As of now, Xavier wasn't the only one who admired her. In fact, even those who had looked down on her were honestly impressed by her. She also became a wealthy woman in their eyes.

Although nobody knew how rich Natasha was or what her background was, they vaguely knew they shouldn't treat her lightly. Hence, they chose to be friendly toward her instead of offending her.

Besides, she had a lovable personality.

Natasha knew nothing about their thoughts. For her, it was just a job. There was no need to place too much concern on it.

The next day's mid-afternoon, around two o'clock, when Natasha was getting sleepy, someone called out to her.

“Ms. Watson, Mr. Yondel wanted to see you in his office.”

After waking herself, she walked toward Mark's office without much thought.

“You're looking for me?” she asked after knocking on the door.

Mark had just ended a call when she entered. Upon seeing her, he welcomed her with a smile and said, “Please have a seat, Nat.”

Hearing such, Natasha approached him and sat down.

“I want to let you know that I'm leaving for a last-minute business trip. However, later this afternoon, there will be a meeting with Prime Investment Corporation, which has expressed its intention to collaborate with us. So, I want you to attend that meeting on my behalf.”

She nodded. “Okay, I'll do it.”

The manager froze for a moment and placed the relevant documents before her.

“These are the relevant information about the possible collaboration between Prime Investment Corporation and us. Please study it carefully. Do try your best to get them to collaborate with us.”

“I will do my best.”

Natasha was never a person who would belittle herself or question the tasks given to her.

Mark initially thought he would have to spend some time persuading her. Hence, it was outside his expectation when she readily took the task without mentioning anything about money.

Having also heard the rumors in the office, he couldn't resist gossiping, “Nat, I heard that you paid for Xavier's sister's surgery. Is it true?”

Natasha nonchalantly nodded and answered, “Yes, I did.”

Her response rendered him speechless.

One might say Natasha was ready to take the task because of money, but she had never talked about it before. Besides, she had unhesitatingly and generously divided the one million she received. Having said so, he couldn't determine if money actually meant nothing to her because she treated her work seriously.

There was a sense that she merely worked for work’s sake.

Having no way to see through her, Mark was a little more cautious against her. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Okay then. You can go now. I need to pack my things for the business trip.”

Natasha then walked out of the office with the documents.

After studying them for some time, she got a gist of the possible collaboration with the other company and concluded that it would be a piece of cake.

Just then, Natasha's phone rang. Even though the caller ID showed it was a call from a stranger, she answered it. “Hello?”

“Are you Ms. Watson from Prosper Technologies?” “Yes, I am.”

“I'm from Prime Investment Corporation. As you know, we have sent your company an invitation to meet today at four o'clock. However, we might need to postpone it to six due to a change in our plans. Is it okay for you?” the young lady on the other side of the call asked.

“That wouldn't be a problem to me.”

“If so, I'll send you a new address for the meeting.”

“All right, thanks.”

The call ended after a brief exchange.

Suddenly, a cup of coffee was placed before her when she felt exhausted and sleepy.

Natasha raised her head and saw Xavier simpering at her.

At that point, she realized that a man could have many faces. Before she paid for his sister's surgery, she noticed that he always had a stern expression on his face, like most dense men, but, now, he often wore a silly countenance. Natasha had a difficult time accepting the change in his attitude.

“Thank you,” said Natasha.

“Are you having a new project?” Xavier asked.

With a nod, she answered, “Yes.”

“Do tell me if you need my help. I'm always available.”

“I can deal with it myself.” She shot back.

Her confident countenance made her seem somewhat arrogant. However, in Xavier's eyes, she had every right to be pompous.

“Good. I'll head back to work now.” With that, he left with a smile.
