As she entered, Nathan immediately sensed her anger.
He stopped writing the notes and raised his head to ask, “Lucinda, was the meeting not going well?”
“No, that old bastard Crosby provoked me twice!” she replied, her tone filled with frustration.
With a smile, Nathan inquired, “Then what did you do to him?”
Lucinda pointed at her belly and said proudly, “I won’t lose to him!
I’m pregnant! No one dares to mess with me! If anything happens to the babies, they won’t bear the consequences.”
He burst into laughter and quickly stood up to hug her, bringing her back to the sofa and soothing her.
Her spirits lifted, but then she remembered another important matter.
“How are you doing? Are you done? How much is left?” she asked.
Nathan hesitated, not daring to utter a word.
Seeing that Lucinda was in a good mood, Nathan thought it was the perfect time to push his luck.
“Honey, let’s put this entire thing behind us. It’s all in the past.
Why don’t I watch TV with you and peel you your favorite tangerines, hmm?”
“No.” Lucinda was not budging. She had said that she would punish him, and she was a woman of her word.
“Tell me, how much of your work is still undone?”
Nathan was immediately flustered.
Even tempting her with her favorite fruit wasn’t working anymore.
He ducked his head and pouted his lips as he pointed at the pile of documents on the coffee table.
There was still about a third of the total work to do.
A smile slowly spread across Lucinda’s face.
