âOkay, boss! Itâs not a problem.
I promise to have everything cleaned up immediately!â
Nathan nodded and said in a hushed tone, âDonât mention that I said it.
You know what Iâm talking about?â
âGot it! I wonât breathe a word to her!â
After a few minutes, Sonny had cleaned up the floor of the CEOâs office and quietly went back to his own office.
He immediately grabbed his phone and dialed Lucindaâs number.
Immediately she picked up the call, he began to sob dramatically.
âMiss Simmons! Boss is angry and taking his anger out on me! He even wants to deduct my salary! You have to come to my aid!â
Lucinda was startled by Sonnyâs fake cry.
It was difficult to imagine a burly man over six feet tall resort to play pitiful.
How unsettling would that be!
She cleared her throat lightly to ease the awkwardness.
âAlright, Iâll talk to him and make sure you still receive your bonus.
But have you done what I told you?â
Sonny wailed even louder.
âYes, I have! But he wasnât willing to listen.
He said he wants you to give in first this time around.
How about⦠You concede this time?â
Concede?
Lucinda had no idea what to do.
âHow? Nathan hasnât said a word to me in two whole days.
Iâve given him countless chances, but heâs still acting like this!â
Sonny was at a loss for words.
These two lovebirds were actually seeking advice from him, an old bachelor.
What a predicament he was in!
The more Lucinda dwelled on it, the more her anger grew.
All she could think about was Nathanâs cold demeanor over the past couple of days.
He had just started recovering a bit, but now he was giving her the cold shoulder.
That man was so stubborn!
âForget it.
Let him be.
If he wants to continue this cold war, Iâm fine with it!â
Immediately she finished speaking, she was about to end the call.
Sonny quickly intervened, âWait, Miss Simmons! Please donât hang up.
