His boss seemed to have developed a penchant for such things, as long as the other party was his beloved.
Now that Sonny thought about it, Nathan had been free from beatings in the last few days. Was he itching for the thrill after a long period of peace?
What was more, the last time that Nathan got punished, he had ended up giving Sonny a raise!
Sonny sighed inwardly as the pieces clicked into place. Of course, he would never mention his thoughts out loud. There was no way a proud and accomplished man like Nathan would ever admit to such a questionable hobby, anyway.
But since this was his boss’ chosen poison, the least that Sonny could do was to lend his help and support.
After hearing no response for a while, Nathan cast a sideways glance at Sonny and raised an eyebrow.
“Well? Are my instructions clear or not?”
Sonny nodded in earnest, afraid that he might spark his boss’ anger once again.
“Don’t worry, Boss! I shall support you in all your decisions. But…
Well, have you seriously thought this over?”
His only fear was that Nathan might not be able to withstand another harsh beating from Lucinda. Especially since he knew just how furious she would be if she discovered the cigarettes.
Nathan’s brows furrowed slightly. Sonny’s question was a little off-track. In any case, He had made up his mind. He just stared at the other man for a beat Longer.
“I-I understand!” Sonny blurted out.

“I’ll go and buy the cigarettes right now! I promise, I shall execute everything according to plan!”
He hurried out of the study, making sure to close the door gently behind him.
Nathan watched him go with narrowed eyes.
He couldn’t shake off the nagging feeling that Sonny was a Little out of sorts today, and just might be a little unreliable with the task at hand.
Meanwhile, Noelle had been busy shooting a new drama lately.
It was about the coming of age of a young girl who had to conquer a lot of hardships in order to grow into a strong and mature woman.
It was quite an inspiring tale, and the script was very compelling.
Not to mention, the director and producers were all renowned figures in the industry.
With Cyrus’ help, she was able to get the lead role. And if she did really well and maximized this opportunity, she might have a shot at winning an award at the end of the year.
Lucinda was happy for her friend, of course. On this particular afternoon, she headed over to the set to pay Noelle a visit and check on her progress.
As luck would have it, Noelle was having her break just as Lucinda arrived.
