There was no emotion in her tone or voice.
Since he refused to terminate the agreement, Lucindaâs attitude towards him had gotten worse.
Right now, she looked just the same way she had the night she made him kneel in the pouring rain.
Nathaniel lowered his head dejectedly.
âLucinda, there is a reason why I came with Tess.
Can you at least just hear me out first?â
Lucinda looked straight ahead and said in a monotone voice, âIâll leave the door open till eleven oâclock.
If youâre not back by then, then just sleep on the streets.
Now let my door be!â
Nathaniel stared at her.
How could she be so heartless?
Was there a stone in the place of her heart?
He was so depressed, but he didnât have a choice, so he let the door go.
Lucinda slammed it shut immediately, and the car drove away, leaving in its wake the smell of exhaust gas.
It got into Nathanielâs nostrils and choked him.
He coughed for a while and watched the car disappear into the night.
âBoss!â
Sonny stopped in front of him.
Nathaniel looked at him and asked, âYes?â
Angry at himself Sonny said, âIâm sorry, boss.
I couldnât see Eleanor.
When I got there.
She had completely disappeared.
My guess is that someone took her away.
â
âCheck the surveillance footage.
â
Sonny shook his head.
âIt is a blind angle for the surveillance cameras.
The other cameras in the area were also destroyed.
It was a well thought out plan.
â
Nathaniel couldnât blame Sonny.
âItâs not your fault, Sonny.
Eleanor had a knife with which she wanted to kill Lucinda.
This was planned from the beginning.
What I donât understand, is why the person behind this is doing all this.
â
As he said this, his phone rang.
When he saw Tessâ name on the screen, he hesitated before finally answering.
âNathaniel, I hope youâre still here.
The party is not over yet.
You canât leave me here alone.
Youâre my date.
