Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 39

At this point, Natasha finally had a firm footing in the company.

While Natasha had only begun working for Prosper Technologies, she managed to secure the

Hamilton Corporation project, gave benefits to the company, and paid the surgeon’s fee for Xavier.

As of now, Xavier wasn’t the only one who admired her. In fact, even those who had looked down

on her were honestly impressed by her. She also became a wealthy woman in their eyes.

Although nobody knew how rich Natasha was or what her background was, they vaguely knew

they shouldn’t treat her lightly. Hence, they chose to be friendly toward her instead of offending

her.

Besides, she had a lovable personality.

Natasha knew nothing about their thoughts. For her, it was just a job. There was no need to place

too much concern on it.

The next day’s mid-afternoon, around two o’clock, when Natasha was getting sleepy, someone

called out to her.

“Ms. Watson, Mr. Yondel wanted to see you in his office.”

After waking herself, she walked toward Mark’s office without much thought.

“You’re looking for me?” she asked after knocking on the door.

Mark had just ended a call when she entered. Upon seeing her, he welcomed her with a smile and

said, “Please have a seat, Nat.”

Hearing such, Natasha approached him and sat down.

“I want to let you know that I’m leaving for a last-minute business trip. However, later this This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

afternoon, there will be a meeting with Prime Investment Corporation, which has expressed its

intention to collaborate with us. So, I want you to attend that meeting on my behalf.”

She nodded. “Okay, I’ll do it.”

The manager froze for a moment and placed the relevant documents before her. “These are the

relevant information about the possible collaboration between Prime Investment Corporation and

us. Please study it carefully. Do try your best to get them to collaborate with us.”

“I will do my best.”

Natasha was never a person who would belittle herself or question the tasks given to her.

Mark initially thought he would have to spend some time persuading her. Hence, it was outside his

expectation when she readily took the task without mentioning anything about money.

Having also heard the rumors in the office, he couldn’t resist gossiping, “Nat, I heard that you paid

for Xavier’s sister’s surgery. Is it true?”

Natasha nonchalantly nodded and answered, “Yes, I did.”

Her response rendered him speechless.

One might say Natasha was ready to take the task because of money, but she had never talked

about it before. Besides, she had unhesitatingly and generously divided the one million she

received. Having said so, he couldn’t determine if money actually meant nothing to her because

she treated her work seriously.

There was a sense that she merely worked for work’s sake.

Having no way to see through her, Mark was a little more cautious against her. He smiled

awkwardly and said, “Okay then. You can go now. I need to pack my things for the business trip.”

Natasha then walked out of the office with the documents.

After studying them for some time, she got a gist of the possible collaboration with the other

company and concluded that it would be a piece of cake.

Just then, Natasha’s phone rang. Even though the caller ID showed it was a call from a stranger,

she answered it. “Hello?”

“Are you Ms. Watson from Prosper Technologies?”

“Yes, I am.”

“I’m from Prime Investment Corporation. As you know, we have sent your company an invitation to

meet today at four o’clock. However, we might need to postpone it to six due to a change in our

plans. Is it okay for you?” the young lady on the other side of the call asked.

“That wouldn’t be a problem to me.”

“If so, I’ll send you a new address for the meeting.”

“All right, thanks.”

The call ended after a brief exchange.

Suddenly, a cup of coffee was placed before her when she felt exhausted and sleepy.

Natasha raised her head and saw Xavier simpering at her.

At that point, she realized that a man could have many faces. Before she paid for his sister’s

surgery, she noticed that he always had a stern expression on his face, like most dense men, but,

now, he often wore a silly countenance. Natasha had a difficult time accepting the change in his

attitude.

“Thank you,” said Natasha.

“Are you having a new project?” Xavier asked.

With a nod, she answered, “Yes.”

“Do tell me if you need my help. I’m always available.”

“I can deal with it myself.” She shot back.

Her confident countenance made her seem somewhat arrogant. However, in Xavier’s eyes, she

had every right to be pompous.

“Good. I’ll head back to work now.” With that, he left with a smile.

Natasha was speechless.

Why is his treatment of me so different now than it was before? When it comes to changing his

expression, he is as prompt as Denise.

When it was time for everyone to leave work, Natasha had to attend a meeting.

When she got into her car, she called Terence to inform him about her appointment. However,

before she could finish her sentence, Benjamin took the phone.

“Nat, the other party you’re meeting at this hour for work is a man or a woman?”

“There are men and women.”

“Which company are they from?”

“Prime Investment Corporation, an investment company.”

“Nat, please hear my words as a piece of advice. You must remain attentive when attending a

meeting since you’re a pretty woman. According to my understanding, many companies love to

invite pretty ladies at late hours in the name of work when they actually have bad intentions. You

must be careful,” Benjamin reminded her.

Natasha laughed when she heard his words. “Where did you hear that from?”

“Erm… The dramas.”

“Stop watching those dramas. It’s bad for your development.”

“Well, life is just like a play. Anyway, just be careful.”

“I will.”

“Well, go on then. Please come back as soon as possible too. We’ll wait for you.”

“Okay, got it.”

“Goodbye, Nat. Love you!”

Natasha hung up the phone with a smile.

When she raised her head again, she had arrived at her destination.

After arriving at Spring Hotel and getting out of her car, Natasha saw someone waiting for her by

the entrance.

“Are you Ms. Watson?” asked a lady.

“I am.”

“Mr. Williams asked me to wait for you here. Please come with me.”

Natasha nodded and followed behind.

When Natasha entered the big private room, she saw five to six people seated at a table big

enough for a dozen people. There were dishes on the table too.

“Mr. Williams, Ms. Watson from Prosper Technologies has arrived,” said the lady who greeted her

by the entrance.

All the people chatting inside turned to look at the door in unison instantly.

When they saw Natasha, all froze in place for roughly ten seconds.

The man who sat in the middle was the first to stand up and welcome her. “She’s from Prosper

Technologies? Well, come in and have a seat.”

Natasha swept her gaze across the crowd and walked toward the man.

“Let me introduce her to you all. She is…” The man, Gaston Williams, wanted to introduce her to

the others but didn’t know her name.

“Natasha Watson from Prosper Technologies,” she introduced herself.

“I see. I had initially scheduled the appointment for the late afternoon but changed it to now

because I have something else to do last minute. Now that everyone is here, let’s listen to her

proposal,” announced Gaston.

Those people looked at Natasha and nodded.

“It’s nice to see you, Ms. Watson.” Gaston extended his hand toward her.

“Hello, Mr. Williams.” Natasha extended her hand and shook his politely.

“Come, sit here.” Gaston hurriedly arranged a seat for her.

After taking a seat, Natasha took out all the documents. “Mr. Williams, I have brought along the

necessary documents.”

“Let’s not rush into that,” Gaston responded. He then looked at the waiter behind him and

instructed, “Please pour some wine for Ms. Watson. We’ll talk about the collaboration while having

our meal.”

“I’m sorry. I don’t drink wine,” Natasha rejected his offer without hesitation.

Gaston froze for a moment. He then added, “I forgot that you’re a woman. If you don’t want to have

wine, what about coffee?”

The moment he finished his question, he turned to the waiter and said, “Please pour some coffee

for Ms. Watson.”

Hearing such, the waiter served Natasha coffee.

Natasha had never before attended a dinner of such a nature. Overseas, they usually had buffet-

style dinners, and she even hardly joined them. Hence, having been put in such a situation, she

put her guard up out of habit.

Gaston, on the other hand, was looking at the waiter weirdly while the latter was pouring coffee for

Natasha.
