Nathaniel had always been a principled man.
“They did what they weren’t supposed to do, and I won’t play favorites. This is a lesson they need to learn.”
Though his words made sense, Lucinda couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling inside her.
“I can understand if you want to discipline your younger sister, but Amanda is your mother. Aren’t you afraid of her resenting you?”
Nathaniel bowed his head further, and Lucinda couldn’t see his face.
He stayed quiet for a moment before saying, “She can handle it. And if she can’t, I will take her place.”

Lucinda was impressed by how Nathaniel was handling the situation.
“I’m heading back to Angle Intl. You keep doing your work.”
“Okay.”

Zaniyah wasted no time. That afternoon, Sonny showed up at Nathaniel’s office to start his new job.
“Boss, you’re a genius. You don’t have to sneak around to meet me now, and Miss Ross doesn’t suspect a thing. You’re amazing!”
Nathaniel was engrossed in his work on the computer but Sonny’s words caught his attention. He glanced at Sonny skeptically.
“What do you mean by sneaking around to meet you? You’re making it sound so obscene.”
Without warning, he grabbed a nearby pen and flung it at Sonny with force.
Sonny didn’t move fast enough, and the pen hit him square in the forehead. He winced and rubbed the spot.
“Boss, you’re so brutal. I think I have a concussion. You owe me some compensation.”
“You are so annoying.” Nathaniel glared at him coldly and grabbed another pen.
Sonny quickly begged, “Sorry, my mistake. It won’t happen again.”
