He had been careless, after all.

All he had intended was to whisk Natalia away from Silkwood City, thereby cutting off her contact with Ronin.

But he hadn't reckoned with Ryan.

Hamilton's face was a study in storm clouds as he pulled his car over to the curb and got out.

At the sight of him, Natalia's smile froze, her lips petrifying mid-curve.

Ryan, having noticed Hamilton, simply nodded to Natalia, his expression unreadable.

The strain on Natalia's face was palpable.

"Hamilton, don't you think you're overstepping a bit? We're nothing more than colleagues now."

Hamilton's face darkened, and his gaze flicked to Ryan.

"So you're leaving with him?"

Natalia raised an eyebrow, challenging. "Is that a problem?"

Hamilton's composure was slipping.
