Chapter 782 Show Her The Consequences


    When Keh heard that, he said slowly and calmly, “I''m afraid you''ll have to take a step back in


    this matter.”


    “Huh?”


    “Why do you need to step in when I''m around?” he asked.


    Natasha tightened her arms around his neck, saying, “True. I''ll leave that to you, then. I guess I''ll be


    your assistant.”


    They exchanged nces and smiled.


    “All right. It''s gettingte. You should get some rest,” Keh advised.


    “What about you?”


    As soon as she finished her sentence, Keh narrowed his eyes and scanned her features with a


    yful look in his ebony eyes. “What''s wrong? Can''t bear to see me go?”


    Natasha did not look away to avoid his mischievous gaze. She simply nodded, saying, “Yep. So, if


    you''re free...”


    “What if I''m free?” asked Keh, his deep voice raised to a higher pitch andced with seduction.


    “Do you want to do something exciting together?” There was a certain charm and sexiness to


    Natasha''s captivating voice.


    Keh gazed at her with his eyes narrowed, an inexplicable thirst bubbling in his heart.


    Natasha''s slender fingers slowly traced his shoulder to his Adam''s apple. “So, are you free tonight,


    Mr. Hamilton?”


    A deep chuckle sounded as a look of excitement spread all over his handsome face. Lifting her chin


    with his finger, he asked, “Nat, do you know the consequences for saying something like that?”


    “I''d like you to show me what are the consequences in person... Mmh...”


    Before she could finish, Keh propped her chin up and kissed her passionately.


    The next day, Natasha''s stomach growled early in the morning.


    Waking up due to hunger was a first for her.


    As she opened her eyes and nced over to her side, Keh was already gone.


    Natasha frowned. She wanted to get up but was too tired to move. Last night, Keh had indeed


    shown her what the consequences were. In fact, he did not let her rest until midnight.


    Their intimate sessionst night was so intense that she was famished in the morning due to


    expending too much energy.


    It was at that moment she realized there was truly a difference between men and women. She was


    exhausted and starving fromst night''s events, yet Keh was already gone early in the morning.


    Despite that, Natasha still struggled to get out of bed.


    She quickly freshened up and went downstairs.


    It was extremely quiet that day.


    What caught Natasha by surprise was the fact that Thalia was already downstairs.


    She was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed over her chest as if prepared to confront


    someone.


    Upon noticing Natasha, Thalia lifted her gaze and stared at the former.


    “What''s up? Why are you exuding such an aggressive aura early in the morning?” As Natasha


    spoke, she walked over and sat across from Thalia.


    However, Thalia only stared at Natasha in silence.


    Natasha was so hungry that she began devouring her breakfast as soon as it was served by the


    housekeeper.


    She finally felt better after having some food in her stomach and nced at Thalia. “Why are you


    staring at me instead of eating?”


    “Natasha, you lied!” Thalia said.


    “What did I lie about?” asked Natasha while eating her breakfast.


    “I kept getting the feeling that something was off yesterday, and I tossed and turned the whole night,


    not getting any sleep. So, I went looking for that man. Guess what he told me?” asked Thalia.


    “What?” Natasha looked up to meet Thalia''s gaze. Thalia was clearly interrogating her, yet she was


    still enjoying her breakfast in an exceptionally calm manner.


    “He said he alwayses in at that exact hour without exception. He has never been early orte.


    And you knew there are many female housekeepers here, so if I wanted to win, I would have to


    choose female. You knew that''d be the result, right?” asked Thalia.


    Natasha lowered her gaze and took a sip of her coffee before nodding. “Yep. You''re right.”


    Thalia''s brows immediately knitted into a frown. “Natasha, why are you so sly?”


    “Shouldn''t you be praising me for being observant?” Natasha answered her question with a


    question.


    Thalia red at her. “I''m not joking around, Natasha!”


    “Okay, okay. So, what do you want to do?” Natasha asked with a raised brow.


    Before Thalia could say anything, Natasha continued, “I shouldn''t have asked that. No matter what


    you want to do, the result cannot be changed.”


    “Who said so?” asked Thalia as she ced the medicine bottle on the table.


    Natasha was taken aback. “You haven''t taken it?”


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “No.”


    Natasha frowned. “Where''s Spencer?”


    “There''s no use looking for him. He respects my decision,” said Thalia.


    Natasha eyed her warily. “So, what do you want to do?”


    “You cheated, so this is yours.” Thalia pushed the medicine bottle to Natasha.


    Natasha''s gaze darted from Thalia to the medicine. “We never said cheating wasn''t allowed.


    Shouldn''t the result be the most important thing?”


    “Don''t try to fool me with all those reasonings. All I know is that you''ve cheated, so the result is


    invalid,” said Thalia.


    “Why don''t we y another game?” Natasha suggested.


    “That''s not necessary. You can''t be trusted anymore,” said Thalia.


    “So, you''re saying I have to take the antidote no matter what?”


    Thalia red at her and uttered, “Yes,”


    “Thalia, there''s only one antidote. I''ll dly ept it if you give it up,” Natasha reminded, looking at


    Thalia seriously.


    “Go on,” Thalia said slowly.


    Right then, Natasha met Thalia''s gaze and nodded. “All right.” The former picked up the bottle,


    unscrewed the cap, and poured out the only pill inside.


    “I''m taking it,” said Natasha.


    Thalia said nothing.


    Hence, Natasha stopped hesitating. She popped it into her mouth and swallowed it with the help of


    her coffee.


    Natasha did all that in one go without an ounce of hesitation. Just like that, Thalia watched the


    former swallow the pill before the frown on her face finally disappeared.


    After consuming the pill, Natasha said, “You don''t have any more chances now.”


    “That''s how things should be. You could''ve saved us a lot of trouble if you had consumed the pill in


    the first ce.”


    Seeing how unfazed Thalia looked, Natasha said, “Thalia, it wasn''t easy to get the antidote.


    Besides, no one knows if that''s the only one.”


    Thalia nodded. “I know.”


    “Are you sure you don''t regret it?”


    “I would''ve taken it yesterday if I do. I wouldn''t have waited until now,” said Thalia. She then lowered


    her gaze, saying, “Live on, Natasha. You still have your grandfather and the three kids. They love


    you a lot, so your life is more meaningfulpared to mine.”
