Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Rumors About Me

Natasha went to the office after resting at home for two days.

Xavier immediately went to greet her after noticing her. “Boss, why didn’t you come to the office the past two days? You didn’t even return my calls or reply to my messages.”

“I had some personal matters to attend to.”

Xavier, who was rather sharp-eyed, noticed the bandage around her hand. “You’re injured? How did that happen? Is it serious? Why didn’t you say anything? I would have gone to visit you.”

Natasha glanced at her hand and replied nonchalantly, “It’s just a small injury. Nothing to worry about.”

Ross and Thomas had noticed her as well and approached her. “Ms. Wealthy, I heard you took on Prime Investment Corporation’s project. Is it true?”

Natasha nodded and walked toward her desk. “It’s true.”

“Man, I don’t know if I should call you lucky. The owner of Prime Investment Corporation was arrested for his multiple crimes. I heard he is a pervert! And now, many of his victims have come out to identify him. I’m afraid he’ll be done for this time.”

Natasha gave them an impassive smile. “Is that so?”

“Yeah! Although losing the project is a shame, we were able to escape unscathed. We’re pretty lucky after all,” Ross said in an attempt to comfort her.

Natasha pretended that it worked and nodded. “You made sense.”

“Also, you missed out on a lot for the past two days while you were away! For some reason, Mr. Yondel got suspended. Tension in the entire office is high right now.”

His words reminded Natasha of Mark’s phone call to her.

She said that she would speak to Kenneth about it, but she had forgotten and fell asleep last night.

With that thought, she took her phone and headed outside.

“Ms. Watson, where are you going?”

“Ms. Wealthy?”

“I’m going to make a call,” she replied without even turning back. Her voice echoed from afar.

The three of them looked at each other. Left without a choice, they all returned to their desks.

Natasha walked to the balcony and called Kenneth.

He answered after a few rings. “Hello?”

“It’s me,” she said.

“I know,” he replied.

Natasha paused for a moment. For some reason, she did not know how to broach the subject. All those words that she had prepared to say were suddenly gone.

“Is something the matter?”

“Actually, I-”

“I’m a little busy now. Come to my office and we’ll talk when you’re here.”

“What?”

“I’ll get Fabian to wait for you downstairs. Goodbye.” With that, he hung up.

He did not even give Natasha a chance to reject him.

Well, there are some things that would be better discussed in person. This is fine too.

After giving it some thought, she made her way to Hamilton Corporation.

Sure enough, when she arrived, Fabian was already waiting for her in the lobby.

When he saw her, he waved at her excitedly as if he was overjoyed to see her.

“Ms. Watson, Mr. Hamilton asked me to wait here for you.”

Natasha nodded at him. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Oh, not at all, not at all. It’s what I should do,” Fabian replied as he gestured for her to follow him. “This way, please. It’s Mr. Hamilton’s personal elevator.”

Natasha paused for a second before following him.

When they were in the elevator, Fabian discreetly studied Natasha. “Is your injury healing well, Ms. Watson?”

“Yes, it’s all good now.”

“Ms. Watson, may I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“Are you and Mr. Hamilton… Are you really his ex-wife?” Fabian asked cautiously.
