Whenever he held up an orange wedge to Lucindaâs lips, a trace of affection would flicker in his usually cold eyes.
No, this lovey-dovey couple definitely didnât give a damn that they were still in the middle of a meeting.
After a while, Nathan finally noticed that Sonny had stopped speaking.
He frowned at his subordinate, his face taking on his signature aloof look.
âGo on, then.

âOh, right! Yes, of course.

Sonny quickly ducked his head and stared back at the folder he was holding.
He was all flustered for some reason.
Where had he been again? The brief interruption had thrown him off, and he wasnât sure which part of the report he had been reading.
Nathan let out a small sigh.
âThe projectâs profit and loss ratio,â he pointed out in a stern voice.

Nathan froze, his hand suspended in midair, and peered at her.
âNope, drop it!â Lucinda huffed, her brows furrowed.
She glanced at her watch before adding, âItâs time to take your medicine.

At this point, all the directors were staring again.
Their boss had just been scolded in front of them, and he looked like he was about to explode in anger.
They held their breath, expecting Nathan to smash a glass into the floor at any second, just like he always had.
To their utter disbelief, he simply sat there and scowled, Like a kid whose bag of candy had been taken away.
