You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 640

As though he had noticed something off about her response, Spencer looked her in the eyes and asked, “What are you planning on doing?”

Natasha simply flashed him a faint smile in response. “What could I possibly do?”

“Don't do anything stupid, Nat...”

“Am I really that stupid of a person?”

Spencer frowned and went silent as he tried to come up with a response.

“Don't worry; I'm not going to do anything!” Natasha reassured him with a faint smile.

Spencer simply stared at her in silence.

He knows me like the back of his hand. If I don't leave now, he'll definitely sense that something is wrong! With that in mind, Natasha decided to excuse herself. “All right, you carry on with your work. I'll head back and get some rest now.”

Spencer nodded at her without saying anything.

After making her way to the door, Natasha turned around and reminded him, “I know that you're very busy with your research to come up with an antidote, but you mustn't forget about Thalia. She needs you the most right now. She likes to see your handsome face, so make sure to shave before you go see her!”

It wasn't until Natasha had closed the door behind her that Spencer retracted his gaze and went back to his report.

Natasha returned to her room after leaving Spencer's laboratory.

As Kenneth was discussing business with Dave right now, she knew he wouldn't be home.

Even so, Natasha made sure to lock the room door and stand in the innermost corner of the room before whipping out her phone.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she punched in a number and made the call.

She had a sharp and determined look in her eyes as she clutched the phone tightly in her hand.

The call got through a few seconds later.

“Hello? Is this Ms. Watson?” asked the person on the other end of the line.

“Yes, it's me,” Natasha replied.

“I'm surprised you'd call me. Did something happen?” Boss asked with a hint of joy in his voice.

“I'm calling to confront you about something,” Natasha said coldly.

Boss let out a nonchalant chuckle. “I can tell that much.”

Natasha got straight to the point and asked, “Why would you do this?”

“I've done many things, so you need to be a little more specific. Which one are you talking about? Your poisoning or Kenneth's injury?”

“So, it really was you!” Natasha exclaimed.

Boss' voice grew cold all of a sudden. “Yes, it was me. It's a shame I failed to kill him, though. I can't believe he managed to escape.”

“Forget it, Boss! I won't let you hurt him!” Natasha yelled.

“Go ahead and try to stop me, then. I'll have you know that I don't just want to kill him. I'm also going to torture him so much that death would be a relief for him!” Boss said confidently.

“Talk is cheap, so how about we skip the idle chit-chat and cut to the chase? Tell me, what exactly do you want?”

“What, are you going to agree to all of my demands?” Boss asked.

Seeing as Boss kept quiet, she continued, “You wouldn't happen to have a crush on me, would you?”

Boss didn't respond as he wasn't expecting Natasha to be so direct about it.

“From what I know, Vermillion Base has its own hackers, all of whom are incredibly capable. There isn't much a mediocre hacker like myself could possibly do to help you out, so that leaves me with only one possibility—you have a crush on me.”

Everything in this plan has been going my way, but now, I feel like Natasha has the upper hand here... After taking a moment to regain his composure, Boss replied, “You're right. There are plenty of hackers out there, but beautiful ones are hard to come by. If you return to my side, Kenneth will lose the battle before it even begins. It'd bring me a lot more satisfaction than just killing him. That is why I'm doing this.”

“Is that so?” Natasha maintained the firm tone in her voice.

“Of course! You don't actually think I have a crush on you, do you?”

“Okay, I understand now.”

“What do you understand?”

“Does that matter?”

“Natasha, I suggest you do as I tell you while I'm still interested in you. No amount of begging will change my mind once I lose my patience and interest. Take some time to think about it and give me your answer.” Boss's tone grew cold as he knew Natasha was deliberately provoking him.

Natasha hung up the phone without saying anything in response.

The look in her eyes turned gloomy as she stared at the black screen of her phone.

This call was just to test Boss and find out his intentions. I need to know what he wants so I can better execute my plan.

Natasha's eyes narrowed slightly at the thought of that.
