Just as Natasha was learning how to play, Denise called. Natasha turned on speaker mode. "Why aren't you back yet, Nat? It's getting late," Denise asked. "I forgot to tell you all to not wait for me for dinner. I still have something to take care of, so I'll be returning late." "Where are you?" "Hamilton Corporation," Natasha replied without thinking because she was learning how to play poker. Denise became silent for a short moment before speaking again. "Okay, Nat.
