Lucinda frowned.


    If she didn’t know better, she would have thought that Nathaniel was trying to flirt with her.


    She sneered at him.


    “I’m actually not really sure about that.


    Now, however… Better easy on bluffing since you’re not yourself anymore.


    ”


    He instantly paled at her words.


    Nathaniel knew what she was saying.


    Because of the drugs, his physical stamina was no longer what it used to be.


    But he was a man, and he had his pride.


    He could never admit his failure to satisfy her in bed.


    “Would you like to try and see?” Nathaniel offered without missing a beat.


    “We can have a go at it right here, right now.


    ”


    “Do you want to die?!”


    Lucinda huffed and reached out to pinch his left cheek.


    “Ouch! Wait, it hurts…”


    Nathaniel didn’t dare to dodge, so he could only cry out in pain.


    Lucinda gave it onest tug before letting him go.


    Thanks to her, the left part of his face was all red now.


    It ached so badly that tears sprung in Nathaniel’s eyes, but he refused to cry in front of her.


    He didn’t even touch his swollen cheek, and settled for an aggrieved expression instead.


    Of course, Lucinda knew that he was just putting up an act, but she felt somewhat mollified by the miserable look on his face.


    “Get out of the car and start your first day on the project already.


    I’m heading back to Angle International.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    ”


    “Fine.


    ”


    Nathaniel dusted off his trousers and sat back to straighten his clothes.


    Then he opened the door and emerged from the car, his usual aloof look back in ce.


    Lucinda couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly and seamlessly he could shift his expressions.


    It was quite a pity that the man hadn’t decided to be an actor.


    She made a call and arranged for Leon and Rickey to follow Nathaniel, and then she went straight back to thepany.


    Time always passed in a blur when one was working hard.


    By the time Lucinda looked up from her desk, it was almost time to clock out.


    She reached for her phone, nning to call Zaniyah and ask her about the progress with the Axcient project.


    But she had barely unlocked her screen when she received a call from Zaniyah herself.
