Chapter 1080 Devoting Herself To Work
Hearing Fabian's words, Natasha nodded. “I'm glad to hear that.”
“So, what should we do next, Mrs. Hamilton?” Fabian asked, seemingly unable to contain his eagerness.
Moreover, he inexplicably felt that Natasha could undoubtedly achieve what she promised in the two months she asked for.
He had already begun to look forward to that day. At that time, both Albert and Zachary would have to get out of the company.
The mere thought of it was incredibly exhilarating.
At his question, Natasha's petite face showed no change in expression. Her crystalline eyes seemingly narrowed slightly. “There's no doubt that we can't take step by step now. If we want to exceed the quota within two months, we'll have no choice but to take a shortcut!”
A shortcut?
Fabian looked at her, puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Natasha casually lifted her gaze, looking at him as she asked, “Fabian, were there any particular projects that Kenneth had previously considered but never pursued? Or perhaps any he's currently contemplating?”
Speaking of that, Fabian nodded without hesitation. “There's none he's currently contemplating. Mr. Hamilton usually makes a move once he sets his eyes on something!”
“Isn't there any he thought was good but never made a move on?” Natasha pressed.
Fabian racked his brain. Then, recalling something, he looked at her and nodded. “Yes, but...”
“But what exactly?” Natasha asked.
Fabian lifted his eyes, his gaze meeting hers. “There were several projects I could tell that Mr. Hamilton valued greatly. However, he put them aside!” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Put them aside?” Natasha's brows furrowed.
Fabian nodded. “Yes.”
“Why?” Natasha asked.
“Uh... I'm not sure either.” Fabian shook his head.
Natasha believed him, but still, she narrowed her eyes at him. “Fabian, you know Kenneth best. If even you don't know his thoughts, no one in this world has a clue!” Natasha stared at him in certainty.
Fabian stood a stone's throw away from Natasha. Upon hearing that, he flashed her a sheepish smile. “Mrs. Hamilton, I was merely speculating. Why don't you call Mr. Hamilton directly and ask him? Wouldn't that be more straightforward?”
“Would I be asking you if he could speak now?” Natasha retorted.
Fabian was taken aback, his gaze fixed on her.
Natasha realized her blunder and looked back at him. “He's not available to take calls right now!”
Upon hearing that, Fabian finally nodded. “Oh, I see.”
“Just say it!” Natasha urged.
Fabian pursed his lips. “May I venture a guess, then?”
“Sure!” Natasha nodded.
“Mr. Hamilton is always swift and decisive in doing anything. Once he sets his sights on something, he never hesitates. Therefore, if he were truly interested in those few projects, he would never hesitate, especially for such a long time,” Fabian said.
“Go on.” Natasha's eyes remained fixed on him.
“But if he hadn't taken a liking to the projects, he certainly wouldn't have kept them until now!” Fabian continued.
Speaking of that, Natasha also narrowed her eyes slightly. They were the ones who understood Kenneth best, so they could sense an underlying problem in it.
“So, what's your conclusion?” Natasha asked, looking at him.
“I believe... Mr. Hamilton likely has other intentions!” Fabian said, lifting his eyes to Natasha, his gaze filled with certainty.
Natasha held his gaze and nodded. “Your analysis makes a lot of sense!”
“But this is merely my speculation. I'm not entirely sure. What if I'm wrong?”
“Don't worry. Even so, it's on me, not you!” said Natasha.
At that, Fabian exclaimed, “Thank you, Mrs. Hamilton!”
“Show me those few projects!” Natasha said.
Following her order, Fabian nodded. “Sure. I'll go and get them right away!” With that, he turned around and walked out.
As the door closed behind him, Natasha took a deep breath. Then, she looked to the side. When she saw the photo on the desk, she was taken aback.
There were two photos on the desk. One was a picture of the triplets, while the other was of her and Kenneth. They were taken at the banquet back then, but she had no recollection of who took them. The couple in the photo stood facing each other, their eyes brimming with love.
Upon seeing the photo, Natasha picked it up.
Truth be told, she didn't even remember that scene, but the photo depicted a couple deeply in love, gazing intently at each other.
She slowly brushed her fingers on Kenneth's body, her heart filled with sorrow. He used to be such a proud man and formidable man. But now...
To say that she wasn't devastated would be a lie. Unknowingly, her eyes had gone red-rimmed.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Fabian walked in from outside with a stack of documents. “Mrs. Hamilton, these are all...”
However, as he spoke, he lifted his gaze and caught sight of Natasha with her eyes red-rimmed. He looked at her before glancing at the object she held in her hand, his expression complex.
At his entry, Natasha quickly put the photo frame down. Then, she looked at him and said nonchalantly, “Hand them to me.”
Snapping back to his senses, Fabian walked over and placed the documents before Natasha. “There are four in total. Mr. Hamilton spent quite a bit of time looking at these few!”
Hearing that, Natasha nodded. “All right, I got it. You can go ahead with your work. If I need anything, I'll call you.”
Fabian nodded blankly. “Sure...”
He turned and headed out, but as he reached the door, he halted and looked back in Natasha's direction. At that moment, the latter was flipping through the project proposals as if nothing had happened, appearing no different than usual.
After some thought, Fabian composed himself. He turned around, pulled open the door, and walked out.
As the door closed once again, Natasha finally stilled.
An intelligent man, Fabian was capable of discerning an issue at the slightest discrepancy.
Natasha had initially planned to tell him the truth, but she knew that if she did so right then, he would be affected. Consequently, the next two months would also be inevitably affected.
Therefore, after much thought, she decided to keep the matter a secret.
After composing herself, Natasha quickly devoted her full attention to the project proposals.
Undeniably, Kenneth had a mind for business. If managed well, the projects were all ventures that could bring in substantial profits.
She had never been in management but could still tell they were all highly profitable projects.
Moreover, she was all too aware that Kenneth was a businessman, his tactics swift and decisive. Otherwise, Hamilton Corporation wouldn't have climbed the ranks so rapidly in just a few short years. He had never failed in investment.
Thus, just as Fabian had said, if he had really taken an interest in them, he wouldn't have put them aside until then unless there was some problem with them.
As she mulled it over, her gaze fixed on the project proposals. Could there be an issue with the projects themselves?
At that thought, Natasha began perusing the project proposals again, scrutinizing each one meticulously.
