Denise had never had a meal together with Kenneth and Natasha, so she was thrilled.
As thrilled as she was, she knew she had to keep her cool and be elegant.
After all, as an elegant beauty, she had got to behave herself.
The manager came out and attended to them himself that evening. Natasha didn't have much of a request for the food, but Denise was incredibly picky, and she ordered plenty of dishes. Some of the dishes were Natasha's favorites.
When night fell, the stars were shining brightly.
They were sitting by the window, so they could see their reflections on the glass panels. Natasha's long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a long dress. Needless to say, she looked like a beauty out of a drawing.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Although he knew how pretty she was, he was still captivated.
Denise couldn't help but snicker when she saw Kenneth looking at Natasha. “Do you like what you see? Nat is incredibly beautiful, isn't she?”
Kenneth returned to his senses and lowered his gaze to look at Denise. “Yes. She really IS."
“You ought to keep working hard, then. There are plenty of people chasing after Nat!” Denise uttered.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?”
According to what Fabian told him, Natasha didn't have any lovers abroad.
Right then, Denise took a peep at Natasha before whispering into Kenneth's ear, “When we were abroad, a man from a royal family fell in love with Nat at first sight. He was after her for a long time, and in the end, Nat friend-zoned him.”
As Kenneth was listening, he was glancing at Natasha. At first, he wasn't pleased with what he was hearing. However, the frown on his face disappeared when he heard the story's ending. Yes. That's Natasha, all right! With her temper, she'll just friend-zone anyone who tries to pursue her in a serious manner.
When he thought about the recent development of his relationship with Natasha, his lips curled up into a smile.
“Mr. Handsome, good luck, okay? Don't end up getting friend-zoned by Nat,” Denise urged.
Kenneth patted her on the head and answered, “Don't worry. With you guys around, I'll never be just her friend!” Besides, he wasn't going to let that happen.
Denise nodded as if she understood what Kenneth meant.
When Natasha heard them whispering among themselves, she turned around and looked at them. Denise immediately put on a straight face and pretended as if she hadn't said a word about her.
Just by looking at Denise's posture, Natasha knew Kenneth had gotten on Denise's good side.
“What were you talking about?” Natasha looked at her and asked.
Denise shook her head. “What? I didn't say anything.”
Natasha was far from convinced, though.
Unlike everyone else, Natasha knew her like the back of her hand.
She then raised her gaze and stared at Kenneth. He answered, “She's right. No one said a single word.”
Great. Now, they're backing each other up. Natasha wasn't bothered, though. She just couldn't help but realize that blood was definitely thicker than water.
“I need to go to the restroom.”
“Do you know where is it?”
“Um...”
“I'll bring you there!” Kenneth uttered.
“Sure!” Denise smiled.
Kenneth then got up and brought Denise to the restroom.
