Nathanâs eyes were filled with sorrow.
âWill she forgive me? I feel dirty.
I canât even forgive myself.
How will I except her to â¦â
âDonât be so hard on yourself!â
Sonny hurried over and sat beside Nathan.
He pulled out a pack of makeup remover from his pocket and started wiping off the Lipstick marks on Nathanâs face.
âMiss Simmons gave this to me.
It will get rid of the marks.
â
Nathan remained still.
He appeared hopeless.
âSir, I did my best to make her understand that you arenât unfaithful to her.
She believes you were set up!â Sonny said softly.
Nathanâs face lit up.
âReally?â
âAbsolutely!â
Sonny continued, âBut sheâs still mad at you for going out to drink without telling her, getting drunk, and daring to be alone with other women.
Itâs no wonder she feels justified in her anger.
You were careless.
â
Biting his lips tightly, Nathan didnât say a word.
He started to recall his mistakes.
Seeing that he was truly contemplating his errors, Sonny tried to suppress his laughter and went on, âI told you.
If you had just given in earlier, none of this would have happened.
Now she has an even stronger reason to be mad at you.
You canât expect her to calm down on her own after a disagreement!â
âDo you have any thoughts on how to win her back?â Nathan asked as he raised his head.
Sonny swore, âOf course, Iâm full of ideas! I guarantee youâll disarm Miss Simmons tonight!â
âTell me,â Nathan said.
Sonny then whispered something into his ear.
Nathan pondered for a moment and thought it was a brilliant idea.
He got up with determination and exclaimed, âLetâs head back home now!â
âAlright !â
Sonny silently followed his lead.
Once they reached the door, Nathanâs anger flared up as he remembered something.
âValerie is beyond infuriating! I canât have her represent us anymore.
Do whatever it takes to sabotage her career.
I want to see her pay for her actions, to the point of utter destruction.
â
âSirâ¦â Sonny felt a bit guilty.
This time, Valerie became the scapegoat for their little scheme.
