Chapter: 80
When had the two of them gotten into a dispute? Weren’t they partners? Why did it seem as if they were more like rivals?
After a few seconds, they looked away at the same time–They were evenly matched.
“Ms. Nicholson, I look forward to working with you.” Natasha reached out her hand once again.
“I look forward to working with you too,” Dahlia replied with a smile.
“Sorry, but I’ll have to pass the company matters to you now. Dustin and I have something urgent to do. Please, excuse us.” Natasha smiled and led Dustin down the stage with her arms around his. Dustin never uttered a word up till this moment.
He was just an ornament.
“Ms. Harmon…” As they came down, Chris approached to say a few words.
However, Natasha didn’t even look at him and spat, “Get lost!”
Chris froze when she spoke. His last strand of hope fizzled up in flames. He knew Natasha would not let this slide easily. He even started to suspect that the Harmon family was behind the investigation into his company.
“These bastards! Since you’re so merciless, I won’t make it easy for you either,” he thought. He glared at them and left.
“Dustin!” Dahlia tried to chase him down. Her gaze was fathomless, shining as if she wanted to say something.
“Go ahead, Mr. Rhys. I’ll wait for you in the lounge.” Natasha smiled and let go of him. This was because she was confident in herself.
“You wanted to see me?” Dustin slowly turned around.
“I wanted to ask if the Harmon family choosing me as their partner had anything to do with you,” Dahlia clarified without skipping a beat. This matter had been on her mind ever since she found out who Natasha was.
Now that she knew Dustin’s standing in Natasha’s heart, she was starting to have greater doubts.
“I don’t understand what you mean.” Dustin kept a straight face and played dumb. He was not one to claim credit or recognition for what he had done. Since things had ended between them, he hoped they wouldn’t be involved with each other in any way.
“It really wasn’t you?” Dahlia still had some doubts.
“Ms. Nicholson, I think there’s some misunderstanding. How can someone as useless as me help you?” Dustin replied coldly.
“Maybe I was wrong.” There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes as she added, “That’s right. Why would you help me? After all, we’re no longer together. Besides, you’re not capable of doing so.”
“As you said, I have no money or power. I’m nothing compared to Chris. Is there anything else?” Dustin’s face remained blank.
“No. You can go back to Ms. Harmon,” Dahlia said scornfully.
“Alright, please excuse me.” Dustin did not say much more and quickly caught up with Natasha, who deliberately walked slower.
“Mr. Rhys, it seems Ms. Nicholson still has some feelings for you,” Natasha teased.
“Feelings?” Dustin laughed mockingly, “It’s good enough that we haven’t turned against each other.”
“You can never read a woman’s heart. There may be things even she has yet to figure out.” Natasha smiled and tried to change the topic.
