Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 46

Xavier's smug expression caused Natasha's fists to itch a little.

She replied, "So you're calling yourself amazing, huh? I've never seen anyone go after you throughout our four years in school, though? It's been three years since you graduated, and you still haven't gotten yourself a girlfriend. Could it be that your 'little friend' isn't working as intended?"

She took a sip of beer and continued, "You don't have to feel insecure about that kind of thing, you know? With current advancements in medical technology, they can fix you up for sure!"

She could not help but laugh when she saw Xavier's deflated expression.

"I'm just kidding. But if you're taking it seriously, then I will too!"

That was how the two of them interacted with one another. They would joke around with each other for a bit and completely forget about what they had said in no time.

Xavier replied, "I agreed to join this project because of you, alright."

Natasha already expected him to say yes as they had always worked well together as a team when it came to research.

She held up her beer and grinned. "Great. Here's to us finishing the job successfully."

She may not be the person in charge of the project, but it felt nice to return to something she was used to doing.

What Natasha did not expect was to be targeted on her very first day at work by Nicole, who seemed like a rabid dog that would not let go.

Nicole did not hesitate to voice her disagreement. "I didn't think that you'd return to the field of medicine. You've been away for three years. Do you even realize just how much technology has advanced during that time? I don't think you're qualified to be a part of this."

But of course, Natasha's skills were not questioned before Nancy put her on the team.

Nancy replied, "Sorry, but I'm the project manager. I have the right to choose who gets on the team."

As for Nicole, who had appeared out of nowhere that morning, Vincent had to deal with her as if he were handling a child.

Nicole circled Nancy once and sneered. "If you don't do as I say, you won't be holding to the title of project manager for long."

Nicole's tone made Nancy a little uneasy. Nancy did not really know who Nicole was, after all.
