“It looks like he’s been idletely.


    I should have given him more work.


    I’ll have a discussion with him “Wait.


    ” Lucinda stopped him by grabbing his arm.


    She continued, “This is a matter between the Shaw family and the Simmons family.


    It doesn’t concern the National Security Bureau.


    It wouldn’t be right for you to use your position as his boss to oppress him.


    ”


    She went on, “We couldn’t reach an understanding tonight.


    I’ll speak to him again in a few days.


    ”


    Nathan affectionately touched her cheek.


    “Being the head of the Simmons family isn’t easy, is it?”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Lucinda sighed.


    “Yes, I have to deal with all the family matters on my own.


    Many men in the Simmons Group want me to step down.


    They wait for me to make mistakes, hoping to criticize me and get back their prestige.


    ”


    Nathan skillfully massaged her shoulders and whispered gently in her ear, “Once we get back, I can provide you some fort’.


    How did you feel about that alluring dance I did a couple of days ago?”


    Lucinda’s cheeks reddened as she remembered the sensual dance he had performed on their bed.


    Her desires almost overwhelmed her that day.


    Unfortunately, she was still menstruating.


    She let out a sigh and said, “Thank you, but not today.


    My period hasn’t finished yet, and it’s quite frustrating not being able to be intimate during this time.


    ”


    Nathan, feeling the cold night air, removed his suit jacket and dr@ped it over her shoulders.


    “It’s quite cold out here.


    Catching a cold could bring back your dysmenorrhea.


    ”


    As they chatted, Cyrus emerged from the house with a stern expression.


    Lucinda, concerned by his anger, inquired, “Cyrus, what did you discuss with Mekhi?”


    “I wanted to see Noelle, but he denied me that.


    ”


    Lucinda tried to soothe him, “Remember, we’re guests in the Shaws’ house, and he’s Noelle’s elder brother.


    Making a scene here would put her in a difficult position.


    ”


    Cyrus’ expression remained grave.


    “Lucinda, something feels off, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.


    ”


    Unable to see Noelle, he grew increasingly uneasy.


    Lucinda and Nathan exchanged serious nces but remained silent.


    The garden was adorned with twinkling lights.


    There was a little bridge and a river.


    The environment was magnificent.


    Guests arrived one after another.


    About thirty minutester, the garden was filled with members of affluent and influential families.
