Lucinda stood right behind Eleanor, the curiosity of Nathaniel’s whereabouts also intriguing her.
After Eleanor had properly checked the cubicles one by one, the two ladies in unison looked inside the final cubicle-whose door had been ajar.
Taking in a deep breath, Eleanor pushed the door of the cubicle open.
Still, there had been no one inside.
Lucinda immediately had a grasp of the situation when her eyes landed on the open window at the right side of the cubicle.
She didn’t expect that, one day, the president of the Roberts Group would ever be inclined to run away and escape through a window. She couldn’t hold back the laughter that escaped from her body.
Eleanor stood there confused as she saw Lucinda’s twinkling expression and so she asked once more, “If you were the only person in the bathroom, whose phone was ringing just now? Don’t tell me it was you!”
Lucinda didn’t answer and instead waved her hand in the air.
She was leading Eleanor on to figure out what had happened on her own.
Eleanor scowled at Lucinda. She gnashed her teeth and began to spout threatening remarks, “You know you have nothing to do with Nate anymore. Stay away from him. If it comes to my attention that you’re still trying to seduce him, best believe I won’t let you go!”
Lucinda burst out in laughter and retorted, “I’ll never get back with my ex-husband. But if you bother me again about it, I don’t mind taking away everything you’ve ever wanted, including him.”
“You!”
Eleanor was taken aback by the coldness behind Lucinda’s stare and couldn’t manage to come up with any more words to refute her with.
Before Lucinda walked out, she looked back at Eleanor and said in her coldest tone, “By the way, tell your man to leave me alone and to never provoke me again. Both of you make me sick.”
“You! Bitch!”
Eleanor’s anger was aching to burst out of her, but she couldn’t do anything towards Lucinda. It was a grievance she held in her heart that the hoodies weren’t successful in insulting Lucinda the night before.
She stomped her feet in anger and then washed her hands before making her way out of the bathroom.

“Ellie.”
It was at the moment that she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.
Eleanor turned around and relief washed over her as she saw Nathaniel calmly walking out of the men’s room.
Maybe her unnerved behavior had been at such an all-time high that she didn’t realize that the ringtone might have actually come from the men’s room?
“Nate, did you hear what I just said then in the corridor?”
“Yes,” Nathaniel nodded.
Eleanor felt the embarrassed blush creeping up on her face. She didn’t want Nathaniel to have a bad impression of her.
