Natasha turned back and looked at him as she asked, “What did you say?”

“What did you expect as an answer?” countered Kenneth lazily as he raised his eyebrows in question.

Natasha mirrored his expression and replied, “I don’t want any reply or answer from you, Kenneth. I

just want you to stay far away from me.”

With that, she left.

Kenneth jumped to his feet and raced after her. In just a few strides, he managed to catch up and

successfully blocked her path forward.

He countered, “That’s what I find strange about what you just said. Why do you want me to stay far

away from you? What are you so worried about?”

This man has some grandiose delusions about himself indeed.

Natasha glanced at him and said, “I think there’s something wrong with you.”

Kenneth was rendered speechless by her response. He didn’t reply further, but instead used his

actions to demonstrate his dissatisfaction. He stepped forward and forced her to retreat backward until

there was nowhere else she could go and she was pressed firmly against the edge of the desk.

She continued to frown as she demanded, “Get out of my way.”

“I’m not going to,” he replied.

The only difference between the current Natasha and the one back then was the mouth she possessed

now. It was fiery and indomitable.

“What are you trying to do here, Kenneth?” asked Natasha.

“I want to see you go mad!”

Natasha didn’t know how to respond to that statement. She was convinced enough that he had issues.

However, the more he insisted on behaving this way, the more she would refuse to comply.

“It looks like I’ll have to disappoint you,” she finally replied as she forced a wry smile out.

With that smile, she had thoroughly unsettled Kenneth and thrown him off balance.

Although he knew that she was trying to cajole him with that, her smile was so beautiful that he couldn’t

help but feel his heart twinge from it.

Unconsciously, he extended his arm in a bid to reach out and stroke her face.

As he did, he couldn’t help but ask, “Back then, were you testing me or did you really not know yourself

that well?”

“What do you mean by that?” she replied in confusion. She didn’t understand what he was getting at.

Just as his arm was extended midway toward her face, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stated,

“It’s nothing. I just think that this face of yours is simply too… fake.”

Natasha didn’t know how to respond to that.

Fake? He had clearly said that I was beautiful! Even though those words had come out of someone

else’s mouth, I’ve to admit that I’ve gradually gotten used to it. How is my face fake in any way?

However, Natasha refused to care too much about all this. Instead, she looked at him and said, “You

have plenty of ways to get your revenge on me, Kenneth. You’ve chosen the most expensive option.”

“You managed to pick that up?” he asked in surprise.

“Why can’t we just end things on good terms?”

Kenneth pursed his lips and replied, “Absolutely not.”

She looked at him and continued to frown.

“The more you refuse to accept it, the more I will force it on you. I’ll give you two choices right now.

Either drive the car away or prepare to receive it when I send it over to your place after you’ve gone,”

she threatened.

At that, she couldn’t help but add, “Do you really have that much money to spend, Kenneth?”

“Absolutely right, you are.”

She remained silent in her loss over how to communicate further with such a shameless man.

Finally, she shook her head helplessly and stated, “Fine. I’ll accept it, but I’ll need to sign an agreement

stating that the car is something you insisted on giving me. It’ll also indicate that you had no ulterior

motive in gifting the car, and that you have no right to demand it from me in the future.”

“I’m not signing that,” he said.

“Then I won’t take the car,” remarked Natasha as she prepared to leave.

However, Kenneth moved forward once more to block her path.

The next moment, Natasha suddenly raised her hands and frowned before she sighed deeply in

exasperation.

Her hands were still wrapped in bandages and a concerned expression immediately developed on

Kenneth’s face as he asked, “What’s wrong? Are you all right?”

However, she only glared at him angrily in response.

“Let me bring you to the hospital,” declared Kenneth as he proceeded to tug at her.

However, she yanked her arm out of his grip and petulantly said, “I’m not going.”

He looked at her and said, “I didn’t mean to do it.”

“Oh no, of course you didn’t mean to. I’m sure I would have lost the use of my arm if you truly meant it,”

she replied with wheezing breaths.

He looked at her and frowned deeply as he probed further, “It’s already been a few days, but why

hasn’t it gotten better? Is the wound infected?”

She didn’t reply, but only continued with her pained expression.

Kenneth couldn’t help but rush over to call out for professional assistance as he said, “Let’s have the

infirmary come and take a look.”

A few minutes later, the infirmary prepared a fresh set of bandages for Natasha. The attending doctor

said, “Your wound has just healed, so it’s best that you don’t make too drastic movements. Otherwise,

there’s a chance the wound could rip open all over again.”

“Thank you,” she replied.

“You’re welcome,” replied the doctor. Now that the bandaging work was complete, he turned to face

Kenneth and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first, Mr. Hamilton.”

Kenneth nodded curtly and waited for the doctor leave before he walked over to check on Natasha’s

condition.

After a long pause for thought, he finally began, “The car is actually a gift from my grandpa. If I don’t

give it to you, I’m sure he’ll make a huge fuss over all this. You know as well that I can’t do anything

about him. At his advanced age, I don’t want to do anything that would make him mad.”

Natasha remained silent.

He added, “If you really find all this to be too much of a hassle, I can sign an agreement with you.”

“All right then. I’ll hold you to your word,” remarked Natasha as she looked at him with a sudden

energized gaze.

Kenneth raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you being too obvious about it?”

“I’ve never denied that I had my ambitions,” remarked Natasha frankly. She was this way back then as

well.

Kenneth didn’t know how to respond to that. As he looked at her, he couldn’t help but feel that she had

some other motive at play, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

As this was a mere car, he didn’t bat another eyelid over the matter. They prepared the agreement and

had two copies signed.

Natasha gazed at the agreement and stated, “It’s not that I want to con you, Kenneth. It’s just that you

insisted on sending it over. I’m just preparing some safeguards for myself here.”

“What safeguards do you need? Are you afraid I’ll demand for the car one day?” he countered.

“I only hope that it’s all you want,” replied Natasha calmly. She was worried that he would use the car

as grounds to demand for her three little ones.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s nothing,” she replied. Her mood had momentarily improved substantially and she looked at him as

she said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Wait a moment.”

“What now?” demanded Natasha warily.

“Money,” he said as he gestured toward the luggage that sat on the ground.

She eyed it for a moment before she replied, “It’s merely an empty case. I’ll let you have it.”

Kenneth was speechless in his confusion.

“It’s not like you want it anyway. Not to mention, it would take a long wait if we went to the bank to

withdraw the money. That’s why I had to come up with this plan,” stated Natasha innocently.

“Aren’t you afraid that I would take it?” he asked.

“If that’s the case, I’m sure a bank transfer on the spot would work as well,” she replied.

Again, he did not know what to say in response to that.

Even though he had very obviously been played, Kenneth didn’t seem too angered by it. Conversely,

he felt that the entire situation was a little interesting. In that moment, he knew he must have been

insane.

He nodded and said, “Sure. Sure thing.”

“Don’t be mad. It’s not as if I’m cheating you out of your payment. Feel free to come collect the car

whenever you feel like this arrangement isn’t working out for you,” she stated simply. After a brief

pause, she added, “I can make you an offer at the previous price as well.”

Once again, Kenneth was speechless. He couldn’t believe what she was taking him for.

“Continue speaking, Natasha, and I can’t promise what I’ll do next,” warned Kenneth as he looked at

her.

“Goodbye,” stated Natasha and she stood up to leave.

Just as she opened the door, Fabian suddenly appeared and asked, “Leaving now, Ms. Watson?” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

She nodded and grunted in acknowledgment.

“I’ve prepared the coffee for you! It’s freshly ground too!” wailed Fabian.

She glanced at it casually before she picked it up and took a large gulp from the cup. Following which,

she placed the cup back into his hands and flashed him a faint smile as she said, “It tastes great.

Thank you.” With that, she left with a casual swagger.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes as he took in this scene.

Natasha… It seems like she’s not as boring as she used to be. Rather, things are getting even more

interesting…
