Chapter 68 Complicated Relationships

Natasha arched her brows and did not seem angry. “Didn’t you disappear because you had

something? It’s fine. I’m not angry.”

“Really?” Zachary asked.

“Of course.”

“Then, can we continue to be friends?” Zachary continued asking.

Natasha smiled. “Do I seem so petty?”

“Of course not.”

“That’s it. Of course, we are still friends,” Natasha responded.

After a brief hesitation, Zachary asked, “Then, why didn’t you answer my call?”

“Call?”

“I called you this morning, but you didn’t pick up—”

Upon hearing that, Natasha came to a realization. She explained, “I had a small incident at the hospital Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

yesterday and twisted my ankle. I dropped my phone and broke it, and I haven’t had the time to buy

another one.”

Zachary was finally able to smile casually. “I see. I understand now.”

Natasha smiled. “I’ll change my phone after I end work later.”

Zachary nodded and said with a smile, “Let me send you upstairs.”

“There’s no need—”

“As friends, how could I let you go up alone?”

Since Zachary said that, Natasha did not reject him any longer. “I’ll be troubling you, then.”

“It’s no trouble.” Zachary extended his hand; this time, Natasha did not reject his offer. With his support,

they went upstairs.

Before Natasha reached the office, rumors that she was sent back by a handsome man had spread.

Everyone rushed to the entrance to take a look excitedly.

“Okay. You should head back now. If you continue walking in, there will be rumors.” Natasha told him.

“Why? Do the people in your office gossip a lot?”

“It’s unimaginable.” Natasha could only use this word to describe it.

As they conversed, a girl pretended to pass by them, holding several beverages. Her eyes were

gleaming upon seeing Natasha. “Ms. Watson, who is this? He’s so handsome.”

“He’s a friend,” Natasha explained calmly.

“Friend? He’s really handsome!”

Natasha’s lips curved slightly. “I’m also pretty good-looking.”

Her colleague was rendered speechless.

Zachary could not stop himself from laughing.

If someone else had said this, others would have scolded them for being narcissistic or thought it was a

joke. However, Natasha had said it with a serious expression. Furthermore, given her beauty, it was

impossible to accuse her of being narcissistic.

She sounded adorable when she said it.

At this moment, Natasha glanced at Zachary and said, “You should go. If you don’t leave, our entire

Programming Department will come out to gossip soon.”

“Are you ashamed of me?” Zachary uttered.

“I didn’t mean that. I’m just worried that they will eat you alive.”

“I’m not afraid,” Zachary replied.

“It seems you don’t know the evils of this world,” Natasha teased him.

As they conversed, Mark and Kenneth walked out of the office and saw them at the entrance. They

looked like they were whispering to each other and being lovey-dovey.

Kenneth frowned for some unknown reason.

Mark felt that the atmosphere in the room had drastically turned cold. He silently raised his head to

glance at Kenneth and noticed that the latter’s expression had darkened.

“Fine. I’ll take my leave first,” Zachary stated.

“Okay.” Natasha nodded.

Just as Zachary was about to leave, Kenneth walked over and said sarcastically, “Natasha, I see that

you have become more responsible.”

Hearing that, Zachary stopped in his tracks to turn around and look at Kenneth.

Natasha stared at him calmly. “Are you trying to manage me now?”

“The project is still ongoing. I can’t find the person in charge. Is it wrong of me to say something?”

Kenneth rebutted.

“Isn’t Thea the one who’s supposed to liaise with me? Why are you here?” Natasha questioned back.

Seeing that Natasha and Kenneth were having a face-off, Zachary spoke up. “Do you guys know each

other?”

Both of them spoke at the same time. Natasha replied, “We’re not close.”

“Of course,” Kenneth responded.

Kenneth glanced at Natasha, and his eyes narrowed. “Not close?”

“Not close,” Natasha reiterated firmly.

Zachary did not know the relationship between the two but could feel a charged tension between them.

He glanced at Kenneth and extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Hamilton.”

“You know me?”

Zachary’s lips curled into a smile. “There’s no one here who doesn’t know you.”

Seeing that he was polite and humble, Kenneth shook his hand.

“Nat twisted her ankle. I met her in the hospital, so I sent her back. I hope you understand,” Zachary

continued.

Although Kenneth did not like Zachary calling Natasha Nat, his brows furrowed in worry when he heard

Natasha was hurt. “You injured your leg?”

What does he looked so concerned?

Natasha did not appreciate his concern as she replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing.”

“How did you injure it?”

“I twisted it,” replied Natasha.

“Why did you injure yourself so often these days? If it’s not the hand, it’s the leg,” Kenneth questioned

her.

His reaction was the same as Benjamin’s.

Natasha glanced at Kenneth. “That’s right. I’m unlucky. You should stay away from me so I don’t pass

this bad luck to you.”

Her words were harsh. She was friendly toward everyone except him.

Kenneth scoffed coldly. “I shouldn’t have asked.” With that, he spun around and left angrily.

Mark immediately followed behind him. “Mr. Hamilton, let me send you…”

Natasha breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Zachary. “Didn’t you still have something on? You

should go.”

“Then…”

“Don’t worry. I’m fine,” Natasha reassured him.

Zachary nodded. “Then, I’ll give you a call at night.”

Natasha nodded.

After he left, she breathed another sigh of relief and walked toward the Programming Department.

At this moment, there were many people crowded around the entrance. They had witnessed everything

that happened just now.

When Natasha walked over, they immediately dispersed. Only those who were closer to her rushed

over to her.

“Ms. Watson, what is the situation over there just now?” Ross asked.

Natasha rolled her eyes. “Chaos.”

“Right, right. Chaos. However, I’m slightly confused about your relationship with that handsome man.”

“Look at what you’re saying. They’re both handsome. Who are you referring to?” Thomas remarked at

the side.

“How can I not know who’s Mr. Hamilton? Moreover, how can we use handsome to describe him? He’s

out of the world as he’s wealthy and powerful,” Ross replied.

“Sounds reasonable.”

“So, Ms. Watson, you and—”

Natasha ignored him and continued walking.

At this moment, Xavier approached her and looked at her. “I just found out what happened to you at the

hospital yesterday. How are things? Are you okay?”

“If you can make those two shut up, I’ll be fine.”

Xavier looked at the two people behind them.

Ross and Thomas were rendered speechless.
