He had hurt her when he tried to uncover her true identity.
It was natural that she couldnât trust him.
âI admit that I signed the contract in order to see what you were up to.
But after spending time with you, I realize that I really like you.
Youâre the only woman I love.
And I want to stay by your side.
Lucinda put her index finger to her red lips in a gesture of silence.
She didnât want to hear those nonsense from him.

He closed his mouth.
She asked, âWhat resources would you need to handle this project then?â
âGive me full authority.
â
Her laugh was bitter.
âThatâs how you plan to help me? You almost had me.
Itâs a pity you didnât become an actor.
â
She glanced at him coldly, opened the door and leaned out of the car.
Nathaniel grabbed her wrist.
He was still kneeling.
His eyes were wide and innocent.
âI donât want to steal back the Roberts Group, but I must convince those people that Iâm still the president so they will listen to me.
If you donât trust me, send Leon or Conor to keep an eye on me.
I wonât do anything behind your back.
â
There was an unprecedented sincerity and a trace of fragility in his eyes.
Lucinda glanced at her phone.
Vivian was still texting her.
She sighed.
âOkay, I will trust you this time.
You have one month to complete the project.
If you cannot finish it in time, or if you dare to.

â
âIf it isnât finished, you can kill me.
â
He was staking his life on this.
Why?
âVery well.
But one more thing.
You are still responsible for the villaâs upkeep.
When I arrive home each day, the villa must be spotless, and the dinner steaming hot.
Can you do all of that?â
There were only twenty-four hours in a day.
It would not be easy for him to finish the project and complete the housework at the same time.
But he didnât argue.
Those sparkling and sincere eyes gazed at her.
His charming smile was doting.
âOkay.
You know I can never say no to you!â
