Chapter 6


    When Thea returned to the car, Keh was scrolling through his phone. He nced at her.


    “Have you found it?”


    “Yeah, I dropped it on the way here.” She took out a pen and waved it in front of him.


    Keh replied nonchntly, “It’s just a pen. If you lose it, just forget it.”


    “It’s a birthday present from you two years ago! It’s very meaningful to me, so I can’t bear to lose


    it.” With that, Thea put it away carefully.


    Keh continued scrolling through the documents on his phone. Thea nced at him and


    remarked, “Sally looks quite pretty. She’s quite charismatic too.”

    He was stunned for a while. Without raising his head, he replied calmly, “Sure.”


    “She’s your type, right?” asked Thea. She pretended to be asking it casually, but it was actually a


    careful test.


    Keh looked at her, his gaze unfathomable. “What are you trying to say?”


    Thea smiled. “Nothing. I just think that she’s pretty.”


    “There are a lot of pretty girls out there, but it’s rare to find one with an interesting soul,” he replied.


    “But even her beauty is rare,” said Thea. In fact, she was even jealous of how pretty that woman


    was.


    Keh continued looking at his phone quietly.


    Even though Thea had been with him for so long, she still could not read his mind. She averted her


    gaze and looked at the driver. “Start the car.”


    Keh suddenly woke up in the middle of his dream.


    In his dream, Natasha and two children were covered in blood. They waved as they moved further


    and further away from him…


    When Keh sat up, his forehead was already covered in sweat.


    He got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bright moon hung amongst the


    clouds, while stars dotted the night sky. He lit a cigarette.


    Even though six years had passed, the incident still bugged him.


    After he had divorced Natasha then, the housekeeper found an ultrasound image that showed that


    she was pregnant. By the time he returned to his senses, she had already disappeared from his


    life. To be exact, he could not locate her whereabouts at all. It was like she had disappeared into


    thin air.


    He picked up his phone in frustration and called his assistant. “Investigate a woman named Sally


    from Prosper Technologies,” he instructed.


    “Right now?” The assistant had just woken up from his sleep and was still groggy.


    Keh fell silent for a while. “Forget it. Never mind.” He hung up the call after that.


    He knew that his dream had something to do with the woman he saw earlier in the day.


    However, he was certain that she was not the same woman.


    He did not regret the marriage. He merely felt bad for the two children.


    If he had found out earlier, the marriage might not have ended so quickly. At the very least, he


    would not let her take the children away.


    After finishing a cigarette, Keh returned to his room and got back to bed.


    Some things were bound to leave regrets.


    Prosper Technologies had been waiting for Hamilton Corporation’s response.


    However, they had not received any updates after so long. Unable to bear with it anymore, Xavier


    looked for Mark.


    “Xavier, I know that this project is extremely important to you, but we can’t control Hamilton


    Corporation’s decision,” said Mark. When he did not receive any responses, he already


    understood what that meant.


    “Mark, is there a problem with our proposal? What is it? I want to know!” demanded Xavier.


    Mark sighed. “I heard that your proposal is one of the better ones, but Thea vetoed it. They didn’t


    say why.”


    Xavier narrowed his eyes. “It’s got something to do with Natasha?”


    Mark did not know what to say. He merely wanted Natasha to learn from the meeting, but he did


    not expect Thea to target her. Hence, he could not say for sure whether Natasha had something to


    do with it.


    “Xavier, only Hamilton Corporation will know. Since they didn’t update us, I can’t possibly ask Mr.


    Hamilton directly, right?”


    “I know!” With that, Xavier turned around and left.


    Mark sighed helplessly as he stared at Xavier’s retreating figure.


    Everyone in the Programming Department knew that Xavier was in a bad mood, but none of them


    knew how to console him.


    They began talking about it during their break.


    “We can’t me Xavier for being in a bad mood. If the project had gotten through, his little sister


    could be cured.”


    “What illness does his sister have?”


    “I’m not sure, but I heard that it requires a lot of money. Mark said that if his proposal got epted,


    he would give Xavier the bonus in advance. Looks like the n got foiled!”


    “No wonder he seems so hostile recently.”


    Someone sighed.


    When Natasha heard what her colleagues said, she frowned.


    At that moment, someone entered. “Xavier went to Hamilton Corporation!”


    Everyone stood up in shock. “What? Is he out of his mind? He can’t afford to mess with Hamilton


    Corporation!”


    “Mark wants two staff members to bring him back.”


    Thomas and Ross, who were part of the same team, immediately ran out.


    Meanwhile, Natasha sat there motionlessly.


    At Hamilton Corporation, Keh was having a meeting in the conference room when he heard a


    Thea nced at the rest before rose to her feet and left to deal with it.


    When she saw Xavier demanding to meet Keh, she walked over to him. “What’s going on?”


    The secretary exined helplessly, “He insists on meeting Mr. Hamilton.”


    Thea nced at him. “You’re the programmer from Prosper Technologies?”


    “Yes!” replied Xavier.


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


    “I want to know what your decision is about the project,” he replied.


    Thea scrutinized him disdainfully. “Is this how the staff of Prosper Technologies behaves? I thought


    that the message was clear without needing to say anything. Since you insist on knowing, let me


    give it to you straight. We’ve decided to go ahead with Elexus’ n.”


    “Why?” demanded Xavier.


    “It’s ourpany’s decision. Why is there a need to exin?”


    “I know how capable Elexus is. They can’t evenpare to ourpany! In fact, they’ve been


    used of giarism in the past. How can it be beneficial for yourpany?”


    Theaughed. “Please check yourself, sir. Don’t defame them just because of your failure. That


    will just reveal your wed character.” She could not be bothered to waste any more time with him.


    “Get him out!” With that, she turned around and left.


    Xavier refused to leave. “Although I can’t im that our proposal is the best, it definitely suits your


    Thea did not even turn around.


    At that moment, the meeting ended. Keh walked out. When he saw themotion, he did not


    even spare them a single nce.


    However, Xavier rushed to him desperately. “Mr. Hamilton, I’m from Prosper Technologies. I need


    a chance. I need justice!”


    Seeing how Keh had no intention of entertaining him, Xavier panicked. “Is it because of


    Natasha? Are you going to let all our efforts go to waste just because of a woman? Is this what a


    majorpany should be doing?”


    Keh stopped in his tracks and nced at Xavier.
