Chapter 142
Natasha bumped into Billy as she stepped out of Drogen's office. She barely acknowledged him, her mind elsewhere, but Billy immediately noticed how off she seemed.
"Hey, Mrs. Thorpe, you're finally back."
She had brushed past him without a word, but at the sound of his voice, she stopped. Forcing a small smile as she turned to face him, hoping he wouldn't see through it.
"Oh… hi, Billy. Sorry… I didn't see you."
Billy frowned. "Can we talk?" His tone was more serious than usual.
Natasha didn't argue. She simply nodded, and they moved to a quiet corner.
Billy didn't waste time. "Can you tell me what's going on? Mr. Lee suddenly forgot everything about you. I know he isn't pretending, so what happened?"
Natasha let out a slow breath. She knew he wouldn't let this go. And honestly, he deserved an answer.
