Lucinda broke the long silence with a serious tone.
âDo you know that Iâm engaged to Nathan Payne?â
Graham replied, âYes, I do.
Whatâs the matter?â
âIt appears that Nathan works for the National Security Bureau, and all his schedules are well concealed, making it difficult for me to investigate.
Can you find out if he has traveled abroad in the past six months?â
Graham asked, âWhy do you want to investigate him all of a sudden?â
Lucinda smiled and replied, âIâm engaged to him, so I want to know more about him.
â
Graham nodded.
That made sense.
Graham didnât ask any more questions although he still felt a little suspicious.
âOkay, but checking Nathanâs schedules for the past six months will be challenging.
It will take some time.
â
âHow Long exactly?â
âAt least until tomorrow afternoon.
â
Lucinda spent the whole night without sleeping.
She hadnât had a good nightâs sleep in the past six months.
However, in the two nights she spent alone with Nathan, she slept so soundly that she barely woke up the entire night.
Perhaps tomorrow, she would finally uncover the truth and get the answers she wanted.

In Payne Group the next day, Sonny walked into the presidentâs office, feeling depressed.
He had searched all over Stastle the day before and found a whip specially used to tame wild horses, which he had handed to Nathan.
âSir, this whip can cause great pain.
Be careful,â he warned.
After a moment of thought, Nathan put the whip away.
Sonny appeared worried as he reminded Nathan once more, âIf Miss Simmons does end up whipping you with it tonight, pretend to be hurt and cry out.
Your tears might make her feel sorry for you.
â
Nathan nodded but remained silent, still contemplating how to explain the situation to Lucinda later that night.
Sonny was concerned that Nathan wasnât taking his words seriously.
But then he realized there was no need to be anxious since Nathan wasnât afraid of being beaten.
As usual, Lucinda headed to Angle Intl to work on the construction preparations for the day.
Following a busy day, Graham faxed over the materials he had gathered before leaving work.
