However, as soon as he heard the applause, Nathan ceased his movements.
Instead of turning to face Lucinda, who stood on her balcony, he swiftly retreated into the villa.
He put on his suit jacket, and immediately went out.
Lucinda watched Nathan from the balcony as he took his leave.
It was the first time that Nathan had been in such a prolonged cold war with her.
She slipped her hands into her pockets and flashed a lazy smile.
She was curious to see how long Nathan could hold on this time.
Immediately Nathan walked into his office at Payne Group, he was met with Sonnyâs anxious knocking at the door.
âBoss, Kyson is missing!â

Kyson himself was well aware of it, hence his silence.
After contemplating for a moment, Nathan continued, âBut Mekhiâs methods are despicable.

Sonny didnât leave immediately.
He summoned courage and said, âBossâ¦
