Whenever he held up an orange wedge to Lucinda’s lips, a trace of affection would flicker in his usually cold eyes.
No, this lovey-dovey couple definitely didn’t give a damn that they were still in the middle of a meeting.
After a while, Nathan finally noticed that Sonny had stopped speaking.
He frowned at his subordinate, his face taking on his signature aloof look.
“Go on, then.”

They held their breath, expecting Nathan to smash a glass into the floor at any second, just like he always had.
To their utter disbelief, he simply sat there and scowled, Like a kid whose bag of candy had been taken away.
