âThis meeting is over!â With her declaration, she swiftly concluded the meeting, turning on her heel and exiting the room.
However, as soon as she stepped outside, she leaned against the wall to steady herself, her emotions still raw and rattled.
Finding the truth in half an hour was an impossible task.
Tammy had become the scapegoat Lucinda used to divert their attention and buy herself some time.
She needed to settle the matter at hand first before she could propose a solution, allowing her the
space to conduct a thorough investigation and unearth the puppet master behind it all.
Seeing that Lucinda was so angry, all the directors were stunned by her sharp scolding just now.
She felt drained after the burst, both physically and mentally.
Kay offered her support as she helped her back to the office.
Nathan, ever attentive, had prepared a plate of freshly peeled tangerines to comfort her.
He walked over to her, lifting her gently and settling her on the sofa.
He fed her the sweet fruit, its juiciness soothing her frazzled nerves.
After eating two tangerines, he asked, âAre you feeling better?â
Taking a few deep breaths, Lucinda began to relax.
âThank you.
I feel much better now.
â
However, the urgency of the situation quickly refocused her thoughts.
She turned serious and said, âWe need to find out whoâs behind all this as soon as possible.
If we donât, they might cause trouble for us again.
â
Nathan nodded in agreement.
Nathanâs expression turned serious as he looked at Lucinda.
âI promise you, Iâll prioritize this matter and find out the truth before we leave work today.
â
Lucinda playfully raised her eyebrows.
âAnd what if you canât uncover the truth by then?â she asked.
âIâll take full responsibility for all the economic losses of the Simmons Group and do whatever it takes to make things right,â Nathan replied earnestly.
Her face lit up with a smile as she touched his cheek affectionately.
âYouâre always there for me, no matter what,â she said, appreciating his unwavering support.
Nathan was momentarily speechless, taken aback by her loving gesture.
âBut since youâve given me your word,â she continued, âI know youâll be determined in dealing with this matter.
â
âYouâre right,â Nathan reassured her with a gentle smile.
