After leaving Hamilton Corporation, Natasha directly drove the car back to her company.
In her honest opinion, driving a car was not as convenient as taking a cab because not being able to sleep during the journey was a torment to her.
She had to walk some distance to her office located on the top floor of the building after parking her car in the parking lot.
Natasha suddenly had a feeling as if someone was following behind her as she walked.
However, when she turned around, there was no one behind.
She scanned her surroundings and saw that the parking lot was empty.
After that, Natasha continued to stride ahead while wearing a frown.
The silhouette of a person appeared in a corner behind her after she entered the elevator.
When she returned to the Programming Department, Xavier immediately walked up to her. “Are you free tonight, Boss?”
Natasha looked at him. “What's the matter?”
“My little sister said she wishes to meet with you.”
“Why does she want to meet with me?” Natasha furrowed her brows. She was baffled by that request.
“You are her savior, so she wishes to meet with you.”
“If I am her savior, then what are you?” Natasha asked him.
“That's different!” Xavier replied.
“Nope. I'm not going,” she rejected. She would not enjoy or be used to a situation where others thanked and revered her.
He frowned. “But it's her birthday today.
That's her only birthday wish. How should I explain to her if you're not going?”
Natasha might put up a tough exterior, but she was actually a soft-hearted person.
She was stumped after hearing Xavier's words.
“Boss, just go and meet with her. I promise it wouldn't take much of your time,” he added.
At that moment, Ross and Thomas came over. “That's right, Ms. Watson. Just meet with her. Xavier's little sister is a young lady with a nice personality. She's been thinking about you all the time. You can think of this meeting as fulfilling her wish.”
“Yes, that's right. She's been expressing her desire to meet with you for a long time.”
Natasha contemplated briefly while staring at the two newcomers. “Fine. The two of you should join me.”
“Us? Why should we go?” Ross and Thomas piped up simultaneously.
She grinned at them. “Isn't today her birthday? Naturally, we are going to organize a birthday party.”
Xavier gazed at her. “Are you agreeing to meet with her?”
“I'll make myself clear now. If she expresses her gratitude or tells me she's thankful later, I'll leave at once,” Natasha said.
“I can guarantee you'll never listen to any of that.” Xavier shook his head firmly.
She had no other choice but to agree to his request.
After Xavier left, Natasha told Ross and Thomas to stay.
“Both of you need to do some shopping.”
“What are we buying?”
“Food, drinks, or anything to play with. Just buy some things the little girl likes,” she elaborated.
“In that case, I'll order all the stuff online and have them delivered to the hospital directly?”
“Sure.” “I'll purchase the items that I feel suitable
then.”
Natasha looked down and tapped her phone a few times. Then, Ross' phone rang. “Put the expenses on my tab.”
Ross looked at her. “Ms. Watson, I know you're a rich lady, but I can still afford to pay for this.” After saying that, he returned the money to Natasha.
“Okay. Dinner is on me then,” Natasha said.
Hearing her offer, Ross and Thomas' eyes gleamed. “In that case, we shall not hold back in accepting your kindness.”
“You two do not strike me as people who would hold back anyway.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Ms.
Watson.”
Ross and Thomas left after they exchanged some sarcastic remarks.
Natasha was about to place down her phone and prepare to work when she suddenly saw Thea's newly added contact on her device.
She was reminded of Thea's personality. By right, she should hate me. Why did she suddenly ask to add me on WhatsApp?
Perhaps...
