Natalia’s eyes flickered slightly, “Do you mind, Mr. Fowler?”
Hamilton let out a derisive snort. “Ms. Jenkins, are you still sleepy?”
Feeling awkward, Natalia quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Fowler, I didn’t agree to his
terms.”
Hamilton’s icy gaze enveloped her. “What’s the matter? Couldn’t settle on a price?”
“He said I could name my price and wait for my word.”
Hamilton’s eyes narrowed sharply. “So, Ms. Jenkins, you just haven’t decided how much to ask for?”
Trying to appear casual, Natalia met Hamilton’s gaze. “Mr. Fowler, are you concerned about the price I might set or that I might set one at all?”
With a scoff, Hamilton let her go and settled back on the couch, watching her. “Whether you name a price or not, and regardless of the amount, that’s your business. My only concern is whether you’re planning to breach our agreement.”
His detached tone made it seem like the matter had nothing to do with him at all.
A sharp pain flickered in Natalia’s heart. She knew that probing like this was humiliating. Yet, she couldn’t help herself. In the end, she just wanted to see if this man cared about her even at smidgen.
As expected, he didn’t, and it could already be considered Hamilton leaving her some dignity.
Natalia composed herself and said, “I was merely inquiring. I’m bound to you by a two–year contract and have never considered seeking another benefactor during that term, regardless of the offer.”
Hamilton watched her, his expression unreadable. “Ms. Jenkins, you seem to understand the spirit of a contract.”
Knowing it was sarcasm, Natalia ignored it and cut to the chase, “Is there a reason you wanted to see me. Mr. Fowler?”
Hamilton, reclining lazily on the couch with a hand on her waist, replied, “Tomorrow, I’m meeting a client from Frendland. You enjoy translating, right? Tag along and handle the translation.”
Surprised, Natalia hadn’t expected business to be the reason for his visit.
After a moment’s silence, she agreed, “Okay.” Then, she looked back at Hamilton. “Did you come to Boria City strictly for business?”
He nodded nonchalantly. “What else? You think I’d travel all this way just to twiddle my thumbs?”
