Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 16

Natasha's major at university was medicine. Coincidentally, the girl who had recommended her, Trina Clem, had also studied medicine.

Recently, Hawthorn University posted an announcement inviting alumni back for a celebration. The university's medical research lab developed a new patented invention, which was sold to a major company.

"Are you sure Trina will come back?" Natasha asked.

Natasha thought of the worst-case scenario, but Owen was clearly more optimistic.

"Even if we can't find Trina, we can always ask her classmates. If there's a lead, we'll find it. If we do nothing, the clues won't just fall into our laps," Owen said.

Taking a deep breath, Natasha nodded. "You're right. As long as we have a lead, it's better than having nothing to go on."

She had tried investigating before, but every time, she ended up without any clues. The celebration was in two days, so there was no rush.

It was already after 7:00 pm. Natasha's job offered a flexible schedule, but she hated dragging her team into her late-night sessions at the recording studio—it didn't feel fair to them.

They ended up working late into the night, brainstorming and solving many challenges. Natasha threw herself into the work, finishing what would have taken a whole week in just one day.

"Thanks, everyone, for all your hard work. I ordered some smoothie for everyone," she said with a smile.

It was getting late, so Natasha packed up and headed home.

As she reached the entrance of her apartment complex, she saw someone she didn't want to see. Pulling her hat down to cover her face, she tried to slip past unnoticed.

However, Olivia grabbed her arm. "Miss, do you know there's a girl living here who looks just like you? We're her parents, and we wanted to check in with her. Could you help us out?"

Natasha had rented this place partly because the security was strict. Without the property owner's approval, no one could get in.

She shook her head. Olivia could be incredibly persistent.
