“Thank you, baby.”
She smiled and gave him a little squeeze.
“I’m pretty sure the whole country knows we’re a couple. There’s no need for thanks between us.”
Nathan rolled over and lay his head on her shoulder, his arms circling his waist.
They spent a while just lying in each other’s arms in comfortable silence. When it was almost midday, they got out of bed and went to the kitchen to continue making themselves lunch.
They worked like a well-oiled machine, dividing the tasks between themselves with ease. Soon enough, the table was laid out with a sumptuous meal.
Since it was almost noon, anyway, Lucinda decided not to go to work.
Instead, she took a day off to be with Nathan.
The next day started out pretty much the same.
They got out of bed and made breakfast together.
Lucinda was browsing the trending news online as she munched on her toast.
Her eyes immediately went to the headline stating that the Hernandez Group had declared bankruptcy.
Her brows furrowed, and she clicked on the article.
The Hernandez family might not be the richest or the most powerful unit in the city, but they were still very influential by their own right.
For them to have declared bankruptcy… Lucinda knew that this was their ultimate downfall.
She wasn’t expecting it to come for them so soon, however.

Something occurred to her then. Lucinda looked up and across the table at Nathan, who was eating his breakfast with gusto. She held up her phone and said, “You did this, didn’t you?”
Nathan didn’t even bother raising his head. He already knew what she was referring to.
“They asked for it.”
Lucinda nodded and shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, I suppose they dug their own grave this time.”
They continued their meal as if nothing happened.
Just then, Nathan received a message from Sonny.
This time, it was he who glanced up at Lucinda, who was poring over the news on her screen.
