“Why don’t I answer it for you, then?”
“That won’t be necessary!” Lucinda blurted out, clutching his hand and pulling him back.
Now, Nathan was even more suspicious. Her reaction was far too quick and frantic for comfort.
Realizing that she might have overreacted a little, Lucinda composed herself and tugged at his hand until Nathan sat down again.
“I remember it now. It must be the business partner that I met up with earlier today. I forgot to save his contact details.”

“It’s already half past nine in the evening.
What could he possibly want from you at such a late hour?”
“How should I know? I’ll answer it and see what he wants.”
Lucinda put the cup down on the nightstand and calmed her racing heart. She stealthily turned her phone volume down to the minimum before taking the call.
“Hello, how can I help you?”
On the other end of the line, Kyson paused, taken aback by Lucinda’s polite tone. But he managed to put two and two together in a matter of seconds.
“Hello, Lucinda. Are you with Nathan? Did I perhaps call at a wrong time and disrupted your moment together?”
Lucinda took a deep breath and glanced at Nathan, who was staring right at her. She got up from the bed and padded over to the balcony.
“Get to the point,” she said, her tone turning cold.
“Okay, right down to business, then.”
A playful smile was dancing on Kyson’s lips as he continued, “Meet me at the abandoned chemical plant in the Eastern suburbs of Stastle tonight, just before eleven o’clock. You can bring your bodyguards along, but only you are allowed to enter Room 302 on the fifth floor.”
Lucinda didn’t answer right away. Instead, she turned and looked back at the bedroom.
Nathan was still sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to her.
He seemed to be deep in his own thoughts and not paying attention to her at all.
Still, she cupped her hand over the speaker and softened her voice.
“Not tonight. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow?”
Kyson was not happy with this.
