How dare you punish me?â
âSurprised?â Lucinda raised an eyebrow and smiled.
âI should shake things up a little since Iâm new here, shouldnât I?
Itâs all your fault today.
You offended me first.
â
Crosby didnât want to give up and continued to fuss about Nathanâs presence in the company.
âLucinda, youâve been bringing Nathan here for days.
You know heâs the president of the Payne Group, and our two companies are competitors, yet you still let him stay in your office! I seriously suspect that youâre leaking confidential information to him!â
This was a grave accusation that could have serious consequences.
The directors became serious in an instant, and the atmosphere in the room turned solemn.
Lucinda didnât take their accusations seriously.
In fact, she wanted to tell them that she not only left Nathan in her office but also allowed him to read all the companyâs confidential documents.
However, revealing this would likely enrage these directors and could lead to a vote to remove her from the board.
Instead, she decided to play her trump card.
âMr.
Aguilar, Iâm pregnant with twins.
â
Hearing this, Crosby was stunned and didnât understand what she meant.
Lucinda clarified, âThe doctor confirmed that Iâm carrying twins, and thatâs why Nathan pays special attention to me.
The reason he comes here is to take care of me.
Do I need to report this to you in advance too?â
âYouâ¦â
Crosbyâs face turned pale, and he couldnât say a word.
The other directors quickly reacted and offered their congratulations to Lucinda.
âCongratulations, Miss Simmons! Thatâs wonderful news! Both you and Mr.
Payne are truly blessed!â
âThatâs right.
Youâre pregnant and still working so hard.
Itâs only natural for him to help you!â
âHe really loves you.
Heâs willing to put aside so much work just to take care of you and the babies.
Itâs very enviable!â
âIt sure is!â
Hearing his colleaguesâ flattering words, Crosbyâs face darkened, but he couldnât find the right words to respond.
Nathan came to the Simmons Group every day to take care of his pregnant future wife.
Who could say that he was wrong?
As for Lucinda leaking the confidential information of the company, it now seemed nothing but a ridiculous false accusation.
