Apparently, Lucinda was not drunk yet. She probably only consumed two glasses of wine at most.
It looked like Nathan had run out of luck tonight.
He cursed under his breath because he still had no idea how to confront her.
In a panic, he made his way to the window and attempted to escape by jumping out.
However, Lucinda informed him in a nonchalant tone, “Your grandfather had someone lock the window from the outside, and I heard it can’t be broken because it’s made of bulletproof glass. I just want to talk to you, you know? What are you so afraid of?”
It seemed Nathan had no escape this time.
Unconsciously, he reached for his face. He still had the mask on.
There was no way Lucinda would recognize him.
He swallowed hard and then answered, “Miss Simmons, I think you’ve misunderstood me. Yes, we’ve never met before, but a soothsayer told me it was a good idea to marry you.”
Lucinda set down her drink and turned to look at him.
“I told you before that I have feelings for another man..”
She froze mid-sentence.
A sense of deja vu overcame her as she took in the scene before her.
She fixed her eyes on Nathan, who looked quite noble in his suit as he stood by the window.
Lucinda gave him a thorough once-over.
Nathan was immediately alarmed when he saw the look on her face.

“You look Like someone I know.”
Frowning, Lucinda slowly got to her feet and approached the man.
“Well, I’m obviously not that person. As I told you, we’ve never met before.
His voice as he spoke was low and gruff, and his eyes were cold.
After meeting those familiar eyes, Lucinda’s own began to redden.
The next thing Nathan knew, she was grabbing his collar and pressing him up against the window.
“Drop the act, Nathaniel! Do you really think I won’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a mask? You can’t fool me!”
Nathan gaped at Lucinda, dumbfounded.
