You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)
Chapter 38

The next day, Natasha bumped into Xavier upon arriving at the company.

Although he seemed to have something to say, Natasha averted her gaze and walked over to her desk.

Xavier furrowed his eyebrows, and his gaze was conflicted when staring at her.

At that moment, Thomas and Ross rushed over to Natasha and stared at her greedily, as if she was their prey.

"If you have something to say, say it." Natasha did not even bother lifting her head.

"Do you have a thing for Xavier?" Ross asked.

Natasha lifted her gaze and glared at him murderously. "What do you think?"

"I think.... he doesn't seem to be your type." Ross smiled sheepishly.

"Good that you know."

Thomas and Ross exchanged glances.

Then, the latter tried to pry, "Why did you do that, then? It doesn't make sense." "I have too much money and I have nowhere to spend them, that's all," Natasha replied simply.

Thomas answered after a moment's hesitation, "If that's the case, are you admitting to it?"

Natasha shot them a glare, and the duo quickly zipped their mouths and walked away.

Then, they walked over to Xavier and talked for a while. After they finished speaking, Xavier's gaze seemed more conflicted when looking at her. Natasha could only sigh. Thankfully, the two tattletales didn't broadcast it to the entire company. Otherwise, there's no way I can clear my name.

After lunch in the afternoon, Natasha went to the pantry to make some coffee. Then, she walked over to the balcony and got some air. When it was time to head back, Natasha turned around and almost bumped into Xavier standing behind her.

"What?" Natasha's tone was filled with displeasure.

"I have something to tell you," Xavier replied.

Natasha furrowed her eyebrows, knowing he would not give up unless he got an answer. "Go ahead."

"Did you really pay for the surgery fees?" he asked.

Without hesitating, Natasha nodded. "That's right."

Although he already knew the answer, Xavier's heart could not help but skip a beat after hearing the truth.

"W-Why?" His usual dense expression was now clueless and anxious.

"What do you think?" "Y-You really-" Xavier hesitated, for her question had caused him to feel awkward. "Nope," Natasha cut him off.

When Xavier looked at her, he saw that she was looking at him with sincerity.

"I have no feelings for you," Natasha emphasized.

"Why did you do that, then?"

Natasha took a deep breath. "Firstly, it was indeed because of me that you couldn't get your bonus. Although it wasn't really my fault, I can't just ignore what happened either. Next, I understand how it feels like to be a mother. Although you're her brother, I can tell you cared for her just like a mother would. Besides, there was nothing more important than human life."

After hearing that, Xavier took a long time to ponder before answering, "Is it really because of all these reasons?"

"There's another reason, but you might not believe me."

"What is it?"

"That I have too much money, and I have nowhere to spend it," Natasha answered

truthfully.

Xavier was rendered speechless.

Although he did not know if she was joking or not, he smiled. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I can finally relax after hearing that." Xavier looked at her. "Natasha, I want to apologize to you sincerely."

She looked at him without a word.

"I admit that I had gotten too emotional back then because of the money, not to mention I was prejudiced against you. However, you helped me out regardless of how I treated you before. I'm really thankful." "I didn't help you to make you feel thankful for me."

"I know that. However, my motto in life is always to be grateful. Don't worry. Take it as I borrowed the money from you, and I'll definitely pay the money back to you in the future." "It's fine-" However, before she could finish her sentence, he had already walked away.

Natasha was speechless. What the heck?

Unable to wrap her head around his actions, she also walked outside.

At that moment, Xavier looked at everyone. "Back then, I've deliberately caused trouble for Natasha in front of everyone.

Therefore, I would like to apologize in public too." Coincidentally, Natasha walked into the room at that exact moment.

"Natasha, I'm sorry. I was in the wrong last time. From today onward, anyone who provokes you in the Programming Department would also mean they're messing with me. You're my boss now!" he announced while looking at her.

Everyone was rendered speechless, while Natasha was struck dumb. What is going on?

However, Thomas and Ross seemed more excited than usual and quickly took the lead in clapping. After that, the atmosphere in the Programming Department became livelier.

Before Xavier apologized in public, everyone was still clueless about his change in attitude. Naturally, Natasha became a loaded woman in everyone's eyes after they were filled in on what was going on. Thomas and Ross quickly rushed over to her.

"Ms. Wealthy, do you really have no feelings for Xavier?" Ross asked.

Natasha was too lazy to be bothered with nonsense like that.

"Do I stand a chance, then?" Ross continued to ask.

Thomas quickly shoved his head to the other side. "Save it. Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror first? Ms. Wealthy doesn't even like Xavier, let alone you." After saying that, he gazed at her greedily. "Why don't you consider me instead? I'm also in need of some sponsorship right now. I would like to purchase a car recently, and it doesn't cost much either. You can consider funding me.

Natasha looked at him. "I can consider it if you decided to sell your kidneys."

Thomas was speechless, while Ross burst out laughing beside him.

He could already imagine the bloody scene.

At that moment, Xavier walked over with a paper and shoved the cumbersome duo away. Then, he placed an IOU in front of her. "Nat-" Suddenly, he did not know how to address her. After pondering for a moment, he started, "Boss, keep this. I'll definitely return the money to you in the future."

Natasha merely glanced at him. "No need."

"You have to keep it. Otherwise, I can't sleep at night," Xavier replied.

After pondering for a moment, she took it from his hands.

A relieved smile appeared on Xavier's face. However, just when he wanted to leave, a tearing sound was heard. He turned around only to see Natasha rip the paper into shreds and dumped it into the trash bin Thomas and Ross' eyes almost bulged out after seeing that, and they could not catch their breath. How could she just rip an IOU that's worth hundreds of thousands?

Xavier too was staring at her in surprise.

Natasha explained, "If you're really sincere in paying me back, there's no need for all the formality. Besides, I'm going to lose the paper sooner or later." Xavier only felt more thankful for her in his heart. He could only curse himself when he thought of how he treated her in the past.

Meanwhile, Thomas and Ross looked at Natasha as if she was a delicious meal. "Ms. Wealthy, please sponsor us! I can do anything as your sugar baby!"
