Kenneth was grinning from ear to ear after hearing what Natasha said. Unlike most people, she wouldn't resort to harsh words and nasty threats unless the person had it coming. On the contrary, she preferred to hit the nail on the head and focus on the key points that would hit the hardest.
What surprised him the most was how Natasha had gotten his priorities right even though he never told her about it.
That showed just how much she understood him as a person.
At that very moment, Kenneth's heart wasn't just filled with joy and glee.
His heart was completely stolen by Natasha.
“I get the feeling that Natasha has ended the battle before it even started, and she did it so effortlessly too! That woman didn't stand a chance! It's like destroying your opponent's spirit with just a few words!” Mike whispered.
Kenneth was about to say something in response when Natasha called out to him from inside, “Come on in!”
Both Mike and Kenneth were frozen in shock after hearing that.
“How did she know that we're eavesdropping?” Mike asked while staring at Kenneth.
“It's because you were too loud, silly!” Kenneth replied with a snort.
That's right! Never take the blame for something if you can blame someone else for it!
Kenneth then opened the door and entered the room, leaving Mike speechless as he stood outside.
“Well, well, well. Just blame it all on me, eh?”
Unsure of what to do in such a situation, Mike decided to just carry on eavesdropping from outside the room.
Alexia's gaze was fixated on Kenneth the moment he entered the room. “My savior...”
Kenneth shot her a glance before shifting his gaze toward Natasha.
“I've told her everything I had to say. I'll leave the rest to you, okay?” Natasha said as she turned around and got ready to leave.
However, Kenneth grabbed her by the arm before she could even take a single step.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“I'll wait for you outside,” Natasha replied.
“That won't be necessary. I have no issues with you hearing what I have to say.”
“But Ms. Harper does.”
Even now, she is still trying to protect Alexia's ego and pride...
Kenneth frowned slightly at the thought of that.
“Don't worry. I will always trust you no matter what happens,” Natasha reassured him.
“This won't take long,” Kenneth whispered in her ear after giving it some thought.
Natasha simply flashed him a smile and walked out of the room without saying another word.
Mike quickly backed away when he heard her footsteps approaching.
He had his back turned and was pretending to look at his fingernails when Natasha came out from the room.
Natasha walked up to him and asked, “Can I help you?”
Mike acted as though he had just noticed her there. “Oh, Natasha! Didn't see you there!”
“Drop the act, will you?”
“I don't know what you're talking about,” Mike insisted.
Natasha nodded. “Fine, you can continue that act for all you want. Ms. Harper is a very sensitive person, so you'd better keep your mouth shut about this.”
“You sure are kind-hearted, Natasha!” Mike exclaimed sincerely.
Noticing that Natasha was glaring at him, Mike quickly added, “I mean, you're very nice to all of us!”
Natasha rolled her eyes at him and let out a helpless chuckle.
“Are you sure it's safe to leave Kenneth with her in there? Aren't you worried?” Mike asked.
“I am.”
“Huh?”
“Why don't you go in there and help me keep an eye on him?”
“You've changed, Natasha.”
