“No wonder Mark places so much importance on this. With such a big client, we won't have to worry about sales for the whole year!”
“Did you see how handsome that man is? Is the woman at the side his rumored fiancee?”
“I think so. She's so pretty! How did they manage to look better in real life than in photos?”
“With money.”
“We can never understand the world of the rich.”
Natasha could vaguely hear the discussion outside.
What kind of client would make them so excited?
She glanced at Xavier and saw him sitting up straight and looking more serious than the others.
At that moment, someone walked in. “Xavier, Mark's calling you guys.”
When Xavier heard that, he stood up sternly and walked over. Three people immediately followed behind him. When he passed by Natasha, he paused in his tracks. “Remember what I said. Don't interrupt!”
“Okay!” Natasha smiled.
After Xavier left, she followed him.
When they entered the meeting room, Mark happened to be talking to the client. “Don't worry, Mr. Hamilton. We're professionals. We'll definitely meet your requirements.” When he turned around and spotted Xavier, he added with a smile, “This is our company's best team. They've already come up with a solution to your problems.”
When Mark moved aside, Natasha saw the person sitting in front. Her expression stiffened.
Is that Kenneth?
Although she had expected them to meet
again, this was too much of a surprise.
She immediately averted her gaze and pretended not to have seen him when Kenneth glanced over.
Even though she was standing in the midst of a few men and was so petite, Kenneth spotted her immediately.
Natasha? No, it's definitely not her. We're miles apart. How can she be the same person?
“Mr. Hamilton? Mr. Hamilton?” Mark called out to him. When the woman sitting beside Kenneth noticed his weird reaction, she followed his gaze and glanced at Natasha.
Suppressing the look in her eyes, she said on behalf of Kenneth, “Ask your team to take a seat!”
Mark indicated for them to sit. As Natasha was not a core member of the project and was only there to listen in, she naturally chose the seat furthest from Kenneth.
Kenneth averted his gaze discreetly. “Mr. Yondel, do introduce your team.”
Smiling, Mark said, “Xavier Dunne is our company's most talented coder. This is Thomas Hanson, Ross Donovan, and Leo Galvan. The last person is new to our company. She's not part of the project, but she's here to listen in.”
Mark did not introduce Natasha's name.
Meanwhile, she sat there calmly and expressionlessly, as if she did not recognize Kenneth.
Kenneth stared at her for a long while, wanting to see if there was anything different about her. However, he could not find anything familiar.
“Kenneth, we still have other places to go later. Shall we begin now?” asked Thea, his rumored fiancee.
Only then did he avert his gaze and nod. Let s start.
With that, Xavier stood up and addressed the problems that Kenneth had raised.
However, Kenneth did not listen to a single thing. He kept glancing at Natasha, who was scribbling on her notebook diligently.
After Natasha's return, she had already prepared herself for the day that Kenneth would find out. Although this day had come so abruptly, such an encounter was much better than him seeing her with the kids directly.
