Spencer narrowed his eyes at Natasha. “Does everyone think so? Who else's thinking the same?”
“Uh, that's not the point,” Natasha said.
She was asking about the truth.
“That is the point,” Spencer enunciated every word.
Natasha understood what he was trying to say. After a moment of thought, she cut to the chase. “Thalia.”
Spencer didn't know what to say.
Then, he recalled the bizarre words that Thalia had said to him. Everything instantly became crystal clear to him.
“I knew it.” Spencer snickered.
“Know what?” Natasha raised a brow.
Spencer shot her a look and said nothing. His beautiful eyes glinted as if in contemplation of something.
Natasha narrowed her eyes as Spencer kept mum. Then, she edged closer and asked, “Could it be that nothing happened between you two?”
Spencer met her gaze and asked, “What do you think?”
“How would I know?” Natasha retorted. She arched a brow in mockery.
Spencer shot her a disdainful look and didn't explain further. A man's prowess needed no explanation. It was absolutely unnecessary.
Still, he said nothing. Natasha edged closer and asked again, “So... nothing happened?”
Spencer looked at her being all busybody. “Natasha, is this a show to you?”
“Yes!” Natasha replied without a hint of hesitation.
She was, in fact, treating it like a good show.
Spencer narrowed his pretty eyes again and said, “It's not important whether we've done it or not. You, on the other hand, should mind your body and refrain from overindulging in your desire!”
Natasha was stumped.
However, she was not abashed. After all, she had known Spencer for a long time, and he was also a doctor. Hence, she had stopped seeing him as a man long ago.
“H-How did you know?” Natasha asked.
“I can tell just by looking at it,” he merely replied.
“So you have X-ray vision now?” Natasha didn't believe that he was that capable.
Spencer rolled his eyes at her. “Don't wear clothes with a low collar next time.”
Natasha immediately took out her phone and opened the camera to check her reflection. Then, she noticed the marks on her neck.
Oh...
She turned off the camera and looked at the man before her. “This is an allergy. It's not what you think.”
Spencer sniggered.
“What are you laughing at?” Natasha asked.
“In front of a doctor? Really?” Spencer quipped.
Uh. That was really silly of me. Being in love has rendered me senseless.
Natasha started to doubt herself.
Spencer said nothing else and got up to leave.
Natasha hurriedly said, “Did you call me here just to say this?”
Spencer turned around and stated, “Don't teach her these things. She might look mature, but she's innocent as a child inside. I don't want to ruin her life.”
Even though he was looking out for Thalia, Natasha didn't fancy his condescending tone.
“Thalia is not a child anymore,” she said.
