Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 74

The only people who didn't get off work at a fixed time every day were the programmers.

At seven in the evening, Natasha headed to Hamilton Corporation with Xavier's project team.

When she went to her car in the parking lot, she felt as though someone was staring and following her. However, whenever she turned, she didn't see anything.

“What's wrong, Ms. Watson?” Thomas asked.

“I feel like someone's following me,” Natasha replied.

The others looked around before Thomas speculated, “Maybe you're seeing things because you didn't rest well during the night?”

She didn't reply.

“Don't worry, with us three men around you, we can guarantee your safety. If a suitor or stalker charges toward you, we'll block their way,” Thomas assured.

Natasha glanced at him and threw the keys to him. “You drive.”

“All right.” Thomas headed into the car and saw her sitting in the backseat through the rearview mirror. “I feel like a driver with you sitting at the back, Ms. Watson.”

“But you are a driver. What, do you think you owned the car too?” Ross uttered as he strapped on his seatbelt.

Thomas glared at him furiously. “If not for the fact that what you said makes sense, I would’ve punched you.”

“Just drive,” Ross ordered.

It was then the car drove out of the parking lot.

The seat at the back feels great and comfortable. It's such a shame that I didn't hire a chauffeur when I bought this car. It would've been great. That thought crossed Natasha's mind as she sat with Xavier at the back.

When she was scrolling through her phone, she received a message: I'm at Glenport City. How about we meet up?

She replied: Don't bother me. Then she blocked the message.

Xavier was getting pretty restless at that moment. He would move around or read the information he brought with him.

Natasha was getting pretty annoyed by his movements because it was making her unable to rest, so she asked, “What are you doing?”

“Me? Nothing!”

“Are you nervous?”

“A little.”

Ross' head turned back when he heard that. “It's not the first time you've done this, Xavier. Why are you nervous?”

“We're facing Hamilton Corporation this time,” Xavier emphasized.

“It's because we're dealing with Hamilton Corporation that we have to stay calm.

Besides, the contract has already been signed. Whether we succeed or fail has been set in stone. It's not like we're going to die or anything.”

“Can't you say something more comforting?” Xavier snapped.

Ross smiled. “I'm just joking to lighten the mood.” Then he turned to Natasha. “Look at Ms. Watson. She's as cool as a cucumber.”

Natasha was still scrolling her phone as she uttered calmly, “Even if we fail today, it has nothing to do with you. It's normal.”

“Why?” Xavier asked.

She gazed at him. “It would be because of me.” She had to spell it out for someone as dense as him.

Xavier was taken aback slightly while Ross couldn't help but laugh.

“I've already looked over the outline. There's no problem with it. If we fail, it means Thea ordered for it to happen. There's no need to overthink it. This project requires a slow process, anyway. Be patient.”

Hearing her say that really put Xavier at ease. He adjusted his shirt and said, “In that case, I'm ready.”

Natasha had been trying to block the messages that were sent to her, so she didn't at all raise her head.

It took them half an hour to arrive at Hamilton Corporation. After they went upstairs by riding the elevator, they saw someone waiting outside the elevator entrance.

“Are you four from Prosper Technologies?” the person asked.

“Yes.” Xavier nodded.

“Our deputy general manager is heading back here right now. Let me take you all to the conference room first.”

The four of them weren't at all surprised by that news.

“Let's go,” Natasha uttered and headed to the conference room with the group.

“Wait here, please. The deputy general manager will be back soon.” The assistant closed the door upon finishing speaking.

Xavier sat in a random seat. “Why did they set the time when they couldn't make it on time?”
