Not Twins Chapter 73


    Chapter 73 Too Obvious


    After two days, Natasha’s leg almost recovered.


    The project with Hamilton Corporation had entered the implementation stage.


    Even if Natasha didn’t like Thea, she still had to deal with her.


    The former sent a message to thetter: We’ve already finished the outline. When will you have the


    time for us to discuss the project?


    Half a day after the message was sent, Thea still hadn’t replied.


    At that moment, Mark called. “How’s Hamilton Corporation, Ms. Watson?”


    “No news from them yet.”


    “H-How can this be? If we don’t finish it before the deadline, we’ll have to pay fines!”


    Natasha thought for a bit and suggested, “I’ll call her and remind her, then.”


    “Good, good. I’m leaving this to you.” Mark then ended the call.


    She directly called Thea’s phone.


    It rang a couple of times before the call connected.


    “Hello? What’s the matter?” Thea asked.


    “Our outline for the project is pretty much done already. I want to meet up with you to discuss on how to


    proceed.”


    “I’m in the hospital right now. I don’t have time.”


    “We need to meet at least once regardless, or else my side won’t be able toplete it before the


    deadline.”


    “That doesn’t sound like my problem.”


    “If you aren’t willing to meet, I’ll just go and find Keh.” Natasha was prepared to hang up then and


    there.


    “Wait,” Thea uttered.


    Keh really is her lifeline. Natasha asked, “Is there anything else?”


    “I really am busy at the hospital right now. How about I send someone to meet you?”


    “Do it immediately. If you cause us any dy, I’ll go and find Keh right away.”


    “Don’t threaten me, Natasha.”


    “I’m not threatening you. I’m simply reminding you.” Natasha then hung up the phone. I bet she’s more


    anxious than me right now.


    As expected, after a while, her phone rang. It was a message sent by Thea.


    It read: I’ve made the arrangements. Go and meet the deputy general managerter at Hamilton


    Corporation tonight. He’ll personally discuss the matter with you.


    Natasha raised her eyebrow and sent a reply: Okay.

    She grumbled internally. As long as Thea is out of the picture, I would be able to deal with the project


    with little to no issue. I would’ve also felt much better if I don’t need to deal with her.


    Xavier approached her at that moment. “What’s up?”


    “We’re going to Hamilton Corporation for a discussion about the project tonight.”


    “Why tonight?”


    If I guessed correctly, it’s because she wants to prevent Keh from meeting me. Sigh. I don’t want to


    guess what she was thinking, but she was often too obvious. Natasha pursed her lips in silence.


    Seeing how she wasn’t speaking, Xavier asked, “Is it Thea who made the arrangement?”


    “There’s no need to point it out,” Natasha reminded.


    He smiled. “So, are you still going?”


    “Can you handle it if I don’t?”


    “I’m just confirming. What if you’re afraid of feeling awkward?”


    Natasha smirked. “Awkwardness doesn’t exist if one doesn’t think about it. As long as I don’t think it’s


    awkward, the only one feeling awkward will be the other person.”


    “Touché.” Xavier gave her a thumbs up.


    She looked away and ignored him before resuming her work.


    He smiled and left.


    On the other side, Thea knew Natasha was going to Hamilton Corporation during the night to deal with


    the project. There’s no way I’m going to let Keh meet with her!


    Harry’s operation was very sessful. She let out a sigh of relief internally when she heard he only


    needed to rest in the hospital for a few days to recover.


    Even if Natasha wasn’t going to thepany, Thea was nning to meet up with Keh during the


    next few days. Since things have changed, she was going to execute her ns ahead of schedule.


    When she thought about that, she gave Keh a call.


    “Do you have time tonight, Keh?” she asked.


    “What’s up?”


    “I’ve told you already a few days ago. There’s something I want to talk to you about, and I want to do it


    tonight.”


    Keh nced at the time. “What time?”


    “Eight in the evening.”


    “Okay, send me the meeting location.”


    “All right. See you then.”


    “Mhm.” Keh hung up his phone.


    Thea stared at her phone for a while. Someone has to take the initiative. Since no one else is willing to,


    I’d do it.


    There was only one thing she really wanted, and that was to be recognized as Keh’s wife.


    She didn’t want to wait any longer.


    When her train of thought ended there, she headed into the ward and looked at Caroline. “Mom, I have


    something to take care of today. I may not be able toe to the hospital tonight, so I’ll be counting on


    you to take care of Dad.”


    Caroline smiled. “It’s all right. Your dad’s feeling pretty good now. There’s no need for you to keep


    running back and forth. Just go and do your thing.”


    Thea nodded. “I’ll head back now to tidy things up.”


    Caroline gestured for the both of them to chat outside the room.


    Both of them walked out of the room.


    Inside the corridor, Caroline examined her daughter and smiled. “You’ve lost some weight after taking


    care of your father for a few days. You looked pale, too. You should go wash up and doll yourself up. I


    believe you’ll seed.”


    Thea was a little surprised. As expected, the person who understands me the best is Mom. She can


    guess what’s going on even without me saying anything.


    “Mom…” She felt a little embarrassed.


    “It doesn’t matter who brings it up first. The most important thing is whether he has feelings for you.”


    “Actually, I’m quite worried…”


    Caroline thought for a while and assured, “When ites to men, you need to use a trick or two to get


    them on your side. I can tell Keh’s not the irresponsible type. Besides, my daughter is very


    beautiful. There’s no way he won’t be moved by you.”


    Thea stared at her mother.


    Her mother smiled. “Go. I’ll wait for your good news.”


    “Mhm.” Thea nodded and left.


    Upon returning home, she entered the bathroom.


    After taking a shower, she soaked herself in her bathtub as Caroline’s words repeated in her mind.


    The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her thoughts became, and the more worried she felt.


    In the end, she got up from her bathtub and stood in front of the mirror, naked. She stared at herself


    and thought that her mother’s words made sense. When ites to men, tricks really are needed


    sometimes. I can’t rely on love alone.


    When her train of thought ended there, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Keh: I’m


    feeling a little sick right now, Keh. Can youe to my house instead?


    After the message was sent, she began cleaning and dressing herself up.


    It was a risky move, but she didn’t regret it.


    As long as he became hers, she didn’t care what she needed to do to achieve that goal.
