Chapter 111

Looking at Natasha's closed eyes and puckered lips, she

exuded a seductive aura that left Dustin stunned. "What's wrong with your

mouth? Does it hurt or something?" Dustin was oblivious. "What are you on

about? I'm letting you kiss me." Natasha explained with frustration.

"Huh?" Dustin's eyes twitched in disbelief as he gasped audibly. "This

can't be a good thing, can it?" He thought to himself. "Fine, if you

don't want it so badly, then this will be the last time you'll ever get

it," Natasha teased playfully. "You idiot! If you don't grab this

opportunity now, when would you ever get another chance like this!" The

one- eyed old man peeping from the second floor hollered. He sighed

deeply, shaking his head in disbelief at Dustin. "You'd better shut it!"

Dustin turned around and shouted back, his eyes shooting daggers.

However, when he turned his head back again, his attention was drawn to

Natasha's flawless complexion and cherry–red lips, making him suddenly

realize what he might be missing out on. "Anyways, I'm done teasing you.

Let's get down to business," Natasha interrupted his line of thought and

continued. "Recently, Edwin headhunted the bulk of the main workforce

behind Harmon Pharmaceuticals, so now we're currently looking for leaders

to reorganize the team. Given your exceptional medical skills, how about

working for me as an honorary chief physician?" "I don't think I'm a good

fit for the job," Dustin grumbled. He was great when it came to healing

and saving lives, but leadership was not his strong suit, and he had

absolutely zero experience in that aspect. "To be honest, you don't need

to do anything for the job. You just need to help me keep an eye on

things once in a while. But if you ever decide that it's not for you,

then you just need to hold on to that title until I find another good fit

for the position." Sensing his skepticism, Natasha put on a pitiful look

for him again. "If you don't help me out here, I'm afraid the only thing

I can do at this point is to just sit and watch as Edwin obliterates

Harmon Pharmaceuticals into dust." Feeling defeated and unsure of how to

refuse her, he finally relented. "Fine…I suppose I can try." "I just knew

that you'd help me! Let's go! Come to my place first, then I can walk you

through your duties and responsibilities!" Natasha exclaimed, immediately

all eyes and smiles. With that, she grabbed him and ushered him into her

car. Half an hour later over at Java Joys, Ruth sat at a table with her

mother, Jessica. The two of them were busy entertaining a few guests. One

of them was a well–dressed, handsome young man, while the other was an

old man who had a lab coat on. The young man spoke first, cutting

straight to the point. "I won't mince words this time, Ms. Ballard. The

reason I'm here today is that I'm Investigating the traitor. On a related

note, I'm also here to assist my cousin Chapter 111 in

taking down Swinton's pharmaceutical market as soon as possible, mainly

to pave the way for future developments in my family." "Natasha can

definitely rest well with you helping around, Quentin. But you know how

bad that temper of hers can get. She doesn't like anyone meddling in her

affairs, after all," Jessica replied with a small grin. "I'm afraid

there's nothing else I can do, not when this is the outcome of my

family's deliberations. As long as my cousin does not do anything that

conflicts with the family's interests, I will do the same for any of the

decisions she makes," Quentin said as he sipped his tea. "Hmph, the way I

see it, you're obviously just here to spy on my sister!" Ruth, with a

scowl on her face, muttered under her breath. With her sister's

engagement with Tyler Grant coming up, the heads of the family wanted to

take every precaution to make sure nothing happened, which was why they

sent a spy over to keep watch on her at all times. "Oh, and another

thing, are the rumors about Edwin Hummer poaching the bulk of the

workforce of the company and stealing Eternumax's research documents

true?" Quentin brought up the subject out of nowhere. "Such rumors did

surface, but I firmly believe that Natasha has the capacity to resolve

everything well.". Jessica's expression was unwavering. "Eternumax is the

fruit of the Harmons' research for many years now, which could have been

used as a trump card to dominate the pharmaceutical market in Swinton,

but now that this incident has occurred, the guys over at HQ are furious,

which is why they had to send an expert over." Quentin explained before

stretching out a hand to introduce the white–haired old man sitting next

to him. "This man here is Mr. Wangley. His medical research skills are

second to none. So, from now on, he will become the next chief physician

for Harmon Pharmaceuticals." But the moment Quentin finished his

sentence, a cold voice suddenly boomed from outside the cafe. "I've

already found the right guy for the job, Quentin. So no need to bother

Mr. Wangley or whatever his name is anymore!" Natasha exclaimed with

Dustin, arm in arm, as the two of them stepped through the front doors

boldly. "What!" Quentin gasped with a frown. His expression darkened as

he witnessed the lovey–dovey display between the two of them. Before

this, he'd caught wind of Natasha securing herself a boy toy, but he

didn't expect the rumors to be true. If the Grant family heard about

this, then the marriage between the two families would obviously be

greatly affected.
