Natasha turned back and looked at him as she asked, “What did you say?”

“What did you expect as an answer?” countered Kenneth lazily as he raised his eyebrows in question.

Natasha mirrored his expression and replied, “I don’t want any reply or answer from you, Kenneth. I just want you to stay far away from me.”

With that, she left.

Kenneth jumped to his feet and raced after her. In just a few strides, he managed to catch up and successfully blocked her path forward.

He countered, “That’s what I find strange about what you just said. Why do you want me to stay far away from you? What are you so worried about?”

This man has some grandiose delusions about himself indeed.

Natasha glanced at him and said, “I think there’s something wrong with you.”

Kenneth was rendered speechless by her response. He didn’t reply further, but instead used his actions to demonstrate his dissatisfaction. He stepped forward and forced her to retreat backward until there was nowhere else she could go and she was pressed firmly against the edge of the desk.

She continued to frown as she demanded, “Get out of my way.”

“I’m not going to,” he replied.

The only difference between the current Natasha and the one back then was the mouth she possessed now. It was fiery and indomitable.

“What are you trying to do here, Kenneth?” asked Natasha.

“I want to see you go mad!”

Natasha didn’t know how to respond to that statement. She was convinced enough that he had issues.

However, the more he insisted on behaving this way, the more she would refuse to comply.

“It looks like I’ll have to disappoint you,” she finally replied as she forced a wry smile out.

With that smile, she had thoroughly unsettled Kenneth and thrown him off balance.

Although he knew that she was trying to cajole him with that, her smile was so beautiful that he couldn’t help but feel his heart twinge from it.

Unconsciously, he extended his arm in a bid to reach out and stroke her face.

As he did, he couldn’t help but ask, “Back then, were you testing me or did you really not know yourself that well?”

“What do you mean by that?” she replied in confusion. She didn’t understand what he was getting at.
