Lucinda knew his stubbornness well. Changing his mind would be an arduous task.
She ceased her efforts to persuade him. Rising to her feet, she said to him apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t bring you to the lab today to discuss this issue. If you won’t cooperate, then I’ll have no choice but to take a tougher approach.”
“Lucinda!”
Nathan understood her intentions and tried to reach out and grab her wrist.
Stepping back a couple of paces, Lucinda evaded his touch.
She turned towards the door and called out, “Sonny, come inside.”
Without delay, the door swung open. Sonny peered in, his surprise evident as he questioned, “Miss Simmons, did you manage to convince him so quickly?”

“This medicine is for your own good, Sir. Just listen to Miss Simmons!”

Whose orders should you follow?”
“He should follow mine,”
Lucinda interjected, answering on behalf of Sonny. She raised an eyebrow and flashed a playful smile.
“You’re my man, after all. Your subordinate should listen to me first.”
