Chapter 1079 Do Not Dare Lay A Finger On Her


    Before all those incidents urred, Natasha genuinely considered Zachary a friend.


    But his actions had crossed her bottom line.


    Even if he didn''t do it personally, in my eyes, a friend of the enemy is no longer a friend.


    At that thought, a flicker of indifference shed past her eyes. She looked at him. “Is something the


    matter, Mr. Lynch?”


    Her address of him instantly distanced their rtionship to the point of unfamiliarity.


    Zachary''s fists at his sides involuntarily clenched tight, and he felt as if he had been stabbed in the


    heart several times, the pain unbearable.


    Looking at her, he asked, “Does it... really have to be like this between us?”


    Natasha chuckled lightly. “Mr. Lynch, it''s best not to speak of us so closely. With so many people in


    the office, it could easily lead to misunderstandings.”


    The more Natasha tried to distance herself, the more Zachary refused to let go, growing


    increasingly anxious and angry.


    I haven''t forgotten or let go, so why is she able to be so indifferent?


    Deep within, he was both resentful and dissatisfied, yet he was helpless in Natasha''s face, unable


    to do anything to her.


    As that thought came to mind, he took a step forward and was about to say something. Seeing that,


    Fabian immediately stepped forward, inserting himself in and positioning himself in front of Natasha.


    “Mr. Lynch, the office is full of prying eyes. It''s best to keep your distance while speaking!” Fabian


    stared at Zachary, his gaze filled with warning.


    Upon seeing that, Zachary shot daggers at him. However, Fabian simply didn''t care.


    Having worked for Keh for so many years, he had been through countless storms and


    tribtions. He had even made a move against people far more formidable than Zachary, so such a


    gaze had no effect on him.


    That was doubly true when the man was both a nemesis and romantic rival of his employer.


    In the absence of his employer, it was only natural that he stood guard.


    The two men held each other''s gaze for a long while. Natasha stood behind them, watching them


    expressionlessly.


    “Mr. Lynch, if you''re seeking me for work-rted matters, pleasee to my office to discuss them.


    If it''s not about work, I don''t think there''s any need for us to meet!” With that said, she retracted her


    gaze, turned around, and headed toward Keh''s office.


    Fabian continued to stand between the two of them, only withdrawing his hand after Natasha had


    gone a certain distance away. Then, he turned around and followed after her.


    Zachary stood there at a distance, watching Natasha''s receding figure, his gaze filled with regret


    and resentment.


    Not long after Natasha had left, a voice rang out from behind him.


    Albert walked over. “Mr. Lynch, I''ve been looking for you for a long time. I didn''t expect to find you


    here!”


    With his back to him, Zachary took a deep breath, putting away his emotions earlier.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Oblivious, Albert approached and studied him. “What do you n to do now? How could you agree


    to this?”


    Zachary swung his gaze at the man. “Do you have a better solution? Or were you going to sit back


    and watch as she reveals everything you''ve done?”


    Speaking of that, Albert was taken aback. “I... I didn''t do anything. It wasn''t as serious as she made


    it out to be.”


    “Is that so?” Zachary looked him in the eye, snorting coldly.


    Albert inexplicably felt guilty. He then pursed his lips. “Even if she really knows something, what can


    she do? She''s just a woman. She can''t do anything significant. When I bag her one day, I''d like to


    see how she can threaten me.”


    No sooner had his words rang out than Zachary''s dark eyes swung his way. “Don''t you darey a


    finger on her!”


    Albert was taken aback. Noticing Zachary''s murderous gaze, he was startled, having never seen


    the man that angry.


    His eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he teased, “Why are you so angry? Could it be that you—”


    Before he could finish his utterance, Zachary had already strode forward and grabbed him by the


    cor. His handsome face was as cold as ice, his dark eyes narrowing slightly, radiating a sharp and


    icy glint. He spoke in a chilling voice, “Don''t ask questions you shouldn''t be asking or say things you


    shouldn''t be saying. All you need to do is follow my instructions!”


    Being treated in such a manner by a young man at his advanced age, Albert was somewhat


    displeased. “Mr. Lynch, is this really an appropriate attitude when we''re coborating?”


    “Coborating?” Upon hearing that, Zachary sneered, “Coborating means doing as I say.


    Otherwise...” He didn''t finish his sentence, but his contempt was obvious.


    Albert looked at him, saying nothing.


    Soon, Zachary dropped his hold on the man and helped straighten out his shirt at the chest while at


    it. “Also, clean up after what you''ve done. If you leave any traces in the future, don''t me others!”


    After saying that, he patted him on the body before turning around and walking away.


    Albert stared at Zachary''s retreating figure, the look in his eyes growing increasingly furious.


    He wants to control me, huh? In his dreams! Since he doesn''t want me to make a move against her,


    I want to do exactly that!


    In the office, Natasha experienced something different upon stepping into Keh''s office.


    It was as though Keh was still fine and dandy, and their shared memories there still lingered in


    the office.


    After walking in, Natasha gently brushed her hand across the edge of the desk. She had never


    imagined that she would one day be there in Keh''s ce.


    At that moment, Fabian behind her seemed to notice that she was in low spirits. He couldn''t help


    but ask, “Mrs. Hamilton, when will Mr. Hamilton be back?”


    Natasha was in no hurry to answer that. Instead, she walked over to the chair and sat down. Only


    then did she lift her gaze to look at him.


    “What do you think?”


    “You made a bet with them for two months. Could it be that Mr. Hamilton won''t be back until two


    monthster?” Fabian spected.


    Natasha remained silent.


    “You''re back, so what on earth is he still doing outside?” Fabian wondered with puzzlement etched


    across his features.


    “Fabian!” Natasha suddenly spoke at that moment, her eyes fixed on him.


    “Yes?”


    “What if I told you Keh might nevere back?” Natasha asked.


    Speaking of that, Fabian promptly froze. His usually cheerful features stiffened. He looked at


    Natasha, his facial muscles bing rigid. “What... What do you mean? Why do you say that he''s


    nevering back?”


    Natasha''s gaze remained on him. Hesitating for a moment, sheughed. “It''s nothing. I was just


    joking!”


    Fabian was taken aback for a moment but soon regained hisposure. Heughed and said, “I


    knew it. When did you be so humorous, Mrs. Hamilton?”


    Natasha didn''t say anything further, looking up at him. “Fabian, for these two months, I hope you


    can assist me just like you assisted Keh. No matter what, I must safeguard Hamilton


    Corporation and all that belongs to the Hamilton family!”


    Fabian quickly nodded. “Of course. Rest assured that I will definitely give it my all!”


    “Aren''t you worried that I have ulterior motives?” Natasha asked as she looked at him.


    Fabianughed harmlessly. “Don''t joke, Mrs. Hamilton. The least money-minded person I''ve ever


    met is you. When Mr. Hamilton wanted to give you all his assets, didn''t you refuse? If you have any


    ulterior motive...” Fabian paused. A glint of something fleeting across his eyes, only to be gone the


    next instant. He lifted his head and continued, “I trust your character. Therefore, whatever you ask


    of me, I will do it with no hesitation or doubt!”
