Thalia went in and scanned her surroundings. In the end, her gaze landed on one of the corners.
Needless to say, Thalia was slightly stunned when she saw Natasha.
Thalia quickly racked her brain, but she couldn't come up with an answer.
Meanwhile, Natasha looked back at her, lifted her hand, and waved at Thalia with a smile.
Seeing that, Thalia pondered for a moment before approaching Natasha.
While looking at Natasha, Thalia asked, “Why are you here?”
“I was waiting for you,” Natasha replied flatly.
Thalia took a deep breath and gazed at Natasha. “Did Anthony ask you to come—” Thalia paused because she saw a phone on the table. Right away, her gaze darkened, and she was visibly shaken.
She then looked at Natasha and shifted her gaze back toward the phone again. After a while, she walked up to Natasha and asked, “How did that phone come into your possession?”
“What do you think?” Natasha responded with another question.
Thalia stared at Natasha and said, “This phone needs to be customized through a special channel. It is only customized for certain people, so not everyone can have it. Moreover, Anthony doesn't know about this channel...”
Natasha kept mum and let Thalia analyze her way through.
“Could it be Kenneth? However, he didn't get his phone through this specific channel. Besides, you don't need such a powerful phone...” As Thalia was talking, she raised her gaze toward Natasha. All of a sudden, an unbelievable idea came to her mind.
“Are you Shadow Seeker?” Thalia asked.
Natasha's expression was calm, but she was wearing a faint smile. Although she didn't utter a single word, it seemed as though her silence had spoken for her.
“How could this be?” The corners of Thalia's mouth twitched. This is absurd!
“How could it not?” Natasha asked.
Natasha's question had confirmed Thalia's speculation.
“Are you really...” Thalia was in disbelief.
Natasha then suddenly reached out her hand and said, “Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Shadow Seeker. Nice to meet you, Thalia.”
Thalia was rendered speechless. In fact, her mind was buzzing when she heard those words. Why does this feel surprising and normal at the same time? Could it be because I've known her for such a long time? Is that why I'm not weirded out?
While staring at Natasha's hand, Thalia slowly reached out her hand as well for a handshake.
In response, Natasha smiled at her.
Right then, Thalia regained her senses and asked, “Wait... Isn't Shadow Seeker a man?”
“Who said so?”
“Everyone said so! Besides, according to your profile, you're a man!”
“I wrote that on a whim,” Natasha replied.
“That's why I couldn't find you no matter where I looked! I've wasted three years of my life!” Thalia exclaimed.
“I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to fool you. I did it to protect myself.” Natasha smiled.
Thalia was in the same industry, so she definitely could relate.
After giving a nod, Thalia looked at Natasha and said, “I understand. So, are you really not going to consider joining Darknetz? Kyle said as long as you're willing to join Darknetz, you can name whatever conditions you want!”
“Why are you still thinking about recruiting for Darknetz now?” Natasha asked. They were sitting opposite each other as though they had been friends with each other for years.
