With a nonchalant expression, Lucinda looked back and forth between both men, like she couldn’t believe what Sonny had just said.
“Don’t worry. I’m here by your side. Just tell the truth, and I promise he won’t dare to harm you,” Lucinda assured Sonny.
Her words brought a sense of relief to Sonny, who raised his right hand and swore, “Miss Simmons, I swear everything I said was the absolute truth!”
“Okay.”
Lucinda nodded, as if she had chosen to believe him.

Nathan let out a sigh of relief, thinking the worst was over.
However, before he could fully relax, Lucinda continued probing.
“What about the other packs of cigarettes in the drawer?”
“This afternoon, Boss asked me to buy them for him. He said I should find a hiding spot in a drawer,” Sonny explained.
When she heard that, she narrowed her eyes and asked, “Hide them?”

Sonny nodded.
“He mentioned that you were busy with work and unlikely to notice. So he told me to find a drawer in a corner to hide them in.”
She smirked and cast a glance at Nathan.
“Oh, I see. He hid them away to keep it a secret from me,” Lucinda remarked.
Nathan seethed with anger.
What an idiot! Damn it!
The more Sonny explained, the more Lucinda’s suspicion grew.
Nathan glared at Sonny, gritting his teeth.
“I asked you to help me explain the situation, not to repeat word for word everything I said before! You were supposed to support me! You imbecile!”
Sonny seemed to finally grasp the situation.
It turned out that he had misinterpreted Nathan’s intentions. He had mistakenly believed that Nathan wanted Lucinda to reprimand him. Now, it seemed that Nathan genuinely wanted to keep this hidden from her!
In contrast to Nathan’s impulsive demeanor, Lucinda smiled gently and reassured him, “Don’t worry. You did well. I’ll protect you. Trust me.”
However, as Sonny realized his misunderstanding had caused trouble for Nathan, panic washed over him.
He needed to figure out how to rectify the situation.
