Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 73

After two days, Natasha's leg almost recovered.

The project with Hamilton Corporation had entered the implementation stage.

Even if Natasha didn't like Thea, she still had to deal with her.

The former sent a message to the latter: We've already finished the outline. When will you have the time for us to discuss the project?

Half a day after the message was sent, Thea still hadn't replied.

At that moment, Mark called. “How's Hamilton Corporation, Ms. Watson?”

“No news from them yet.”

“H-How can this be? If we don't finish it before the deadline, we'll have to pay fines!”

Natasha thought for a bit and suggested, “I'll call her and remind her, then.”

“Good, good. I'm leaving this to you.” Mark then ended the call.

She directly called Thea's phone.

It rang a couple of times before the call connected.

“Hello? What's the matter?” Thea asked.

“Our outline for the project is pretty much done already. I want to meet up with you to discuss on how to proceed.”

“I'm in the hospital right now. I don't have time."

“We need to meet at least once regardless, or else my side won't be able to complete it before the deadline.”

“That doesn't sound like my problem.”

“If you aren't willing to meet, I'll just go and find Kenneth.” Natasha was prepared to hang up then and there.

“Wait,” Thea uttered.

Kenneth really is her lifeline. Natasha asked, “Is there anything else?”

“I really am busy at the hospital right now. How about I send someone to meet you?”

“Do it immediately. If you cause us any delay, I'll go and find Kenneth right away.”

“Don't threaten me, Natasha.”

“I'm not threatening you. I'm simply reminding you.” Natasha then hung up the phone. I bet she's more anxious than me right now.

As expected, after a while, her phone rang. It was a message sent by Thea.

It read: I've made the arrangements. Go and meet the deputy general manager later at Hamilton Corporation tonight. He'll personally discuss the matter with you.

Natasha raised her eyebrow and sent a reply: Okay.

She grumbled internally. As long as Thea is out of the picture, I would be able to deal with the project with little to no issue. I would've also felt much better if I don't need to deal with her.

Xavier approached her at that moment.

“What's up?” “We're going to Hamilton Corporation for a discussion about the project tonight.”

“Why tonight?”

If I guessed correctly, it's because she wants to prevent Kenneth from meeting me. Sigh. I don't want to guess what she was thinking, but she was often too obvious. Natasha pursed her lips in silence.

Seeing how she wasn't speaking, Xavier asked, “Is it Thea who made the arrangement?”

“There's no need to point it out,” Natasha reminded.

He smiled. “So, are you still going?”

“Can you handle it if I don't?”

“I'm just confirming. What if you're afraid of feeling awkward?”

Natasha smirked. “Awkwardness doesn't exist if one doesn't think about it. As long as I don't think it's awkward, the only one feeling awkward will be the other person.”
