Both of them were taken aback.
Lucinda let the phone continue its insistent ringing. However, it seemed like it wouldnt stop anytime soon.
Typically, such interruptions pertained to work matters.
Reluctantly, Lucinda disentangled herself from Nathan and reached for her phone on the bedside table.
On the other end was Lucindas assistant from the Simmons Group.
Immediately the phone connected, the assistant got to the point.
Miss Simmons, AN Groups business director, Miss Diaz, flew into Cadiered last night. Shes been waiting for you at the office all morning. She insists on meeting you and threatens to come here daily until she sees you. Will you like to see her?
Lucinda didnt answer the question directed at her. Instead, she glanced at Nathan, who was resting beside her.
Nathans gaze met hers, filled with frustration. It appeared he was quite frustrated by the inability to connect with her intimately, causing agony for both of them.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Lucinda firmly rejected her assistant, saying, Todays not good for me. Im taking a day to relax at home. Let Nala wait if she insists. Make sure shes well attended to. If shes determined to wait in the reception room all day for nothing, so be it.

Ive got my hands full with something crucial today, so unless the company is on the brink of collapse,

dont disturb me, Lucinda added.

After ending the call, Lucinda snuggled up to Nathan and inquired, Are you okay with how I handled that?
Nathans face lit up with a smile, clearly delighted.
He murmured into Lucindas ear, his voice dripping with allure, Extremely.

As evening approached, Lucindas phone rang once more, but this call was personal, from Noelle.
Since Noelle had lost her memories of the last four years, Cyrus had taken her in, caring for her during this confusing time. It had been ages since she last reached out to Lucinda.
The moment the call connected, Noelles distressed voice was unmistakable. Lucinda, do you have a moment? Could we meet?
Lucinda, ever perceptive, detected the urgency. Whats troubling you, Noelle? You seem down.
Noelle fell silent.
Has Cyrus been giving you a hard time? Just let me know. Ill sort him out for you.
With a pause that felt like an eternity, Noelle finally opened up.
