“ihat’s stopping us now? Let’s seize the moment, darling!” Nathan smiled.


    Lucinda looped her arms around his neck, cheeks flushed with anticipation.


    Her red cheeks only added to her allure.


    She hesitated, then agreed, “Well… Fine.


    ”


    With a satisfactory answer, Nathan ki*sed her ardently.


    In the office, passion hung heavy in the air.


    Suddenly, their tender moment shattered as a knock echoed through the room.


    Lucinda sighed.


    “Someone’s at the door!”


    Nathan’s hold tightened, determined to stay focused.


    “Let’s finish what we started, then deal with it.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    I’ll be quick.


    ”


    However, the officer outside continued to knock on the door, unaware of the situation unfolding inside.


    “Mr.


    Payne, Kern just called.


    Your grandfather has taken a turn for the worse; he fainted again.


    Kern’s hoping you’lle back instantly.


    ”


    Norton fainted?!


    Nathan and Lucinda exchanged worried nces.


    Nathan responded, “Got it.


    I’ll head back immediately.


    ”


    The sweet ambiance evaporated.


    Nathan put on his uniform, urgency in every move.


    Norton’s fainting was no small potatoes.


    Lucinda saw the worry etched on Nathan’s face.


    He couldn’t hide it from anyone even if he wanted to.


    As Nathan was dressed properly, she hopped off the desk and took his hand.


    “Let’s go.


    I’m with you every step of the way.


    ”


    Nathan pulled her into a tender embrace, his lips brushing against hers.


    “I will continue what we left unfinished when we are alone.


    ”


    Regretting not taking the opportunity to share intimate moments with her, he felt he owed her something.


    But duty called, and Norton couldn’t wait.


    Lucinda and Nathan left the National Security Bureau in haste and rushed to Norton’s vi.


    Kern was waiting at the entrance when they arrived.


    “Mr.


    Payne, you’ve finally returned,” he greeted.
