You're Out Daddy

“Do you all think I can’t find myself a guy?” Natasha asked when she saw them all staring nosily at her.

“No way! While there isn’t anything wrong with being single, you should give it a shot if you come across a suitable man! I’m not getting any younger, so it’d do you good to have someone who can look after you and protect you,” Terence said.

“But I prefer to have you keep me company, Grandpa!” Natasha protested as she continued munching on her desserts. She absolutely refused to acknowledge the fact that Terence would someday be gone.

Knowing how much she feared the topic of separation, Terence chose not to dwell on that topic for too long. “I know, but I’d prefer for you to have one more person to keep you company.”

Natasha understood full well what he meant. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll be sure to seize the opportunity if I ever come across someone suitable.”

Although she didn’t mention how things were between her and Zachary, Terence felt reassured when he heard her promise.

He feared that his mistakes would cause Natasha to lose hope in marriage. As he wouldn’t be around forever, he really wanted someone who could take care of her in his stead.

“Now, now… Stop being so nosy, you three! I’ll keep you updated if anything happens, okay?” Natasha said.

“Okay!” Clarice replied. Fine! If Mommy won’t tell us the truth, I’ll just ask Mr. Lynch about it tomorrow!

The next day, Natasha had just arrived at the Programming Department when Ross called out to her, “Let’s go. We have a meeting.”

A meeting? This early in the morning?

Natasha was a little confused, but she didn’t think much about it and left with a pen and notebook.

She frowned when she saw Kenneth sitting in front the moment she entered the conference room.

After everyone had taken their seats, Mark glanced at Xavier and said, “Mr. Hamilton has given you this opportunity, Xavier. Do your best to present your ideas.”

Unsure of what Kenneth was playing at, Xavier decided not to get his hopes up as he presented his reworked project.
