Chapter 802 Test The Goods

Alexia remained frozen in her spot, quietly watching Kenneth and Natasha's kiss become more heated.

The couple showed no signs of stopping or moving into a more private area.

When Alexia could no longer bear seeing their smooch fest, she trudged away in disappointment.

Kenneth released Natasha shortly after Alexia's departure.

Natasha was no fool. She knew he would never engage in such a public display of affection. Glancing behind them, she recognized Alexia's retreating figure.

Her suspicions confirmed, Natasha returned her gaze to Kenneth and asked flippantly, "I didn't realize I had been roped into acting, Mr. Hamilton."

"Just a coincidence," returned Kenneth.

"Was it?"

"I'm happy to do an encore if you don't believe me." As he spoke, Kenneth moved closer into her space.

Natasha quickly raised her hands and blocked his advance. She smiled and replied, "Don't think I'll waive my appearance fee if you do it again."

"I can't offer you an appearance fee. What about something else?"

"That depends. What are you offering?"

Kenneth pushed forward and shot her a heated stare. "Me. What do you think?"

Natasha crossed her arms across her chest and made a show out of studying him. She commented indifferently, "You've got a decent face, but I'm not sure if what's under the clothes is equally impressive?"

"Feel free to test the goods."

"Oh, really?"

Kenneth nodded and replied seriously, "I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Plus, this body is made for any position!"

Their conversation was quickly spiraling into lewd territory. Natasha glanced at him and huffed, "Pervert!"

Kenneth merely smiled and ushered Natasha forward. They strolled for some time before Kenneth said, "Actually, there isn't much to see around here, Nat. Even if you walk further, everything looks like this."

"Then what should we do?"

Kenneth suggested, "Dave is probably still busy with internal matters. Why don't we head home first?"

Natasha agreed easily. "Sure. That works."

"Let's go." Kenneth held her hand and turned around.

His brisk motions spurred Natasha to ask, "Hey, what's the rush?"

"To test the goods."

His reply rendered Natasha speechless.

He's too much...

Still, thrill danced in Natasha's gaze as she studied his profile.

About three hours later, a helicopter landed on a grassy patch some distance away.

The triplets hopped out of the helicopter and appraised their unfamiliar surroundings.

Anthony looked up at Thalia and asked, "Have we arrived?"

"Yes!" Thalia replied in the affirmative.

"Where is this?" Anthony's gaze turned to a house not far away, which did not seem like a hotel.

Thalia explained, "This is my friend's house. We can stay here for the next few days."

Anthony replied, "Okay. I'm impressed you managed to borrow a whole house."

"Hmph, I didn't build all those connections for nothing!"

Anthony's lips twitched in amusement.

Just then, Denise stepped forward and held Thalia's hand, praising, "You're so cool, Thalia."

Thalia instantly became putty in the young girl's hands. She tickled Denise's chin and cooed, "What a sweet girl you are."

It was getting dark by the time everyone disembarked from the helicopter. Anthony checked the time and declared, "It's getting late. I'm sure everyone is hungry. Why don't we grab dinner and discuss our plans afterward?"

Thalia nodded in agreement and said, "Let's put our luggage in the house. This area is pretty bustling. In fact, the most lavish casino in the area is right at our doorstep!"

Miguel's eyes instantly lit up.

"A casino?"

"Yup," confirmed Thalia.

"I-I've never seen a casino before," Miguel uttered in wonder.

"Time to change that, then."

Anthony coughed, interrupting Miguel and Thalia's conversation. He announced stiffly, "Don't forget that we're here for some serious business, not for a holiday." Then, he strode toward the house.

Nat's still waiting for me at home. I'm not in the mood to play.

Thalia raised a brow at his behavior but remained silent.

Meanwhile, Miguel hurried after the boy and pleaded, "Please don't be angry, Master. I'm not here to play at all."

"I'm not angry." Anthony looked at Miguel and explained seriously, "I only came here because of incredibly important business, Miguel. I apologize if I'm not in the mood for fun, but I promise I won't have any objections about your personal activities once everything is done."

Miguel replied, "I understand. Don't worry, Master. I'm not some irresponsible slacker. I will always have the big picture in mind!"

Anthony's lips threatened to curve into a smile.

A short while later, everyone trod into Thalia's friend's house. They left right after dropping off their luggage.

Thalia's description of the city was spot-on.

It was bustling with activity despite the late hour. It probably was not an exaggeration to claim the city never slept.

"It's so pretty!" exclaimed Denise.

A starving Benjamin whined, "What's there to eat here? I'm hungry."

"There's a famous restaurant up ahead. Why don't we check it out?" suggested Thalia.

Everyone instantly nodded, too hungry to consider an alternative option.

The main hall of the restaurant was packed to the brim.

Thalia and the others were squeezed into a table near the windows.

She asked, "What shall we eat?"

Anthony studied the restaurant. It was well-decorated, but the noisy crowd discomfited him.

He asked, "Why don't we go somewhere else?"

"Every restaurant in this city is like this," Thalia drawled while reading the menu.

He glanced at her wordlessly.

His acquiescence brought a smirk to Thalia's lips. "Well then, what should we eat?"

"Anything's fine." Anthony may have been sensitive to noise, but he was no picky eater.

"What about you, Benjamin?"

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's filling," he replied.

Thalia replied admiringly, "That's the spirit. We shouldn't be picky while we're out for business!"

The obvious jibe did not escape Anthony's notice, though he did not argue with Thalia.

"Well, I'll just order for everyone then," concluded Thalia.

In the end, only Denise joined her in checking the menu and placing the orders.

Miguel's gaze roved over the restaurant before landing on Anthony. Curiously, he asked, "Actually, why did you all come here, Master?"

His question caused Anthony to look toward Thalia. Instead of answering Miguel, he asked, "Where is he? Are we far?"

"Hmm..." Thalia gave his question some thought and said, "Not too far. About twenty minutes away on foot and a couple of minutes by car."

Anthony nodded thoughtfully and declared, "Let's go over there after dinner."

"You won't replace him there at this hour," Thalia said after checking the time.

"Why?"

"Everyone needs to eat dinner, right?" retorted Thalia.

Denise, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly voiced a daring thought. "Who knows, he could come here for dinner, right, Thalia?"

Everyone spun in their seats and stared at Thalia expectantly.

Thalia only stared at Denise and asked, "How did you know?"
